Every person in every class made it through each day together. 67 Clubs Getting involved in a club was one way of getting involved in school. Education was not just math problems, but activities with people having common interests. Teachers were leaders of the learning we were to absorb. Blackboards and stencils were the props for learning about the Civil War and the Pythagorean theorem. Teachers gave extra help to students who were less able to grasp what was thrown out in class. 65 Faculty C curriculum 150 Classes Single-sessions welcome togetherness.

Keg parties, movies, and just pain cruising with friend was the main entertainment in the lives of the student body. Bats, balls, shoulder pads, masks, cuts, bruises, torn ligaments and scars. Thrill of victory, agony of defeat as one. Gloiy comes with pain to wrap up one winning season. 575 Wind up Headlines around the world told of big events to become history. Gas prices soared as the economy inflated. 551 Honor roll High grades and honor classes meant eligibility in an honor society. Ranging from languages to journalism — honor societies entitled students with rewards for their merit. Outstanding achievements were recognized openly. 565 Index Everything inside from A to Z. 2 Contents E and F mall brought much static over the fire code and the between-class morale. Controversy continues with a solution far from sight. Opening 3 The opening of the year surprised many with new controversy and criticism from concerned ways. The combination of changes brought government officials, parents, and teachers. Changes sweep the campus By SUSAN HENDERSON Roll out for roll call. Classes have begun. Walk into the classroom, find a friend and wait to begin the day. A year of experiences. Different ways of doing things. A year anew for all, filled with many changes and happenings. These changes swept the campus affecting all in attendance. Double- sessions were over and it was the beginning of a new experience for many. Single- session. All grade levels relinquished the hazards of overcrowded classes, traffic jams in E F mall, and oversleeping. The beginning-of-school bell rang before the sun came up. It was a common feeling to check your alarm clock and make sure it really was 5:30 a.m. and not 3 o’clock as was so often felt. With the presence of freshmen through seniors attending all at the same time, big sisters carted little brothers and more than likely had classes with many of his friends. The ever-so familiar “Senior Syndrome was epidemic in showing displeasure of having classes along with the freshmen. The school day began early and ended in mid-afternoon which made a school lunch another added factor. Campus was closed but it wasn’t enforced. 7-Eleven and friends’ close by became the during 4th period. This marked the first year of the solution to the problem of high enrollment. Countryside High was born c with a birth defect of a late opening, t Their students spent most of the school 5 year standing by at another school. Its arrival brought for us a smaller decrease in enrollment than many expected and thus, many problems. J The eldest carpooled the youngest to school for the first time in a while. Kevin Hayslett gathers his school books as his sister Kim prepares to depart for the start of a school day. A tight squeeze through the mid-part of E and F mall proved to be the biggest test of the day. Between-class conglomeration backed up, increasing the possibility for being tardy to the next class.y 1 Push and shove. Poke and bump. Squeeze through huddles of obstacles congregating. Six minutes for the relay to proceed. A door swings open creating a near-miss. T raffic backs up at the conjunction of three flows of directions. The race ceases as time stands still. Between-class marathons were given the gun at the start of single-sessions. It was every man for himself. It took some getting used to this thing called single-Sessions. Bringing one set of school hours for all four grades. After a few years of independence, family members were reunited. Older brothers were weighed down with the responsibility of carting younger sisters around in the morning and waiting in the afternoon to give them a ride home. One good thing about this single- session was its effect. It brought us closer. We were forced to work together, as a unit. The students became one. Change. It took some time but proved successful with a little adjustment and a little getting used to. Everyman for himself By SUSAN HENDERSON G. Guenther In touch with the whole world By DON NEUBAUM and JOANNE FORD Although at times it seemed that our problems were of the utmost importance, they were relatively minor compared to those of the “outside” world. The world began wh ce Clearwater ended. Many nationwide issues and]figures came to our area. Relatlvef glose to home, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers gained national exposure. Sports Illustrated featured the Bucs on their cover after they defeated the Los Angeles Rams. The Today Show, ABC’s World News Tonight, and other forms of media did short reports on the much-improved team. fir [i r 7 % a ) AAfter leading them in a few songs, Band Director Don Hacker chats with the guest of honor, Rosalyn Carter. Yet another issue which touched close to home was the opening of the Crystal River Nuclear Power Plant. Shortly after its opening, the Power Plant was shut- down because the water cooling system emissions were in excess of the Federal regulations. President Carter and his wife, Rosalyn, each made separate appearances in this area. The President conducted a town meeting at Jefferson High School in Tampa, which brought still more attention our way. In a less publicized appearance, Mrs. Carter visited the Mental Health Center to raise money for this worthy charity. Due to the much publicized hazards in E and F mall, Governor Bob Graham visited this school on Sunday, October 28. Governor Graham was escorted through the school on a maintenance inspection after vetoing a bill for additional school board funding. As the Bay area continues to grow, it will receive more national recognition to go along with its growth and prosperity. In their fourth year of existence, the Tampa Bay Bucs were a play-off bound team. One of their losses came from the hands of the New Orleans Saints. ► jj | 3 President Carter found surprise and satisfaction at j his town meeting at Jefferson High School in Tampa.

Up before the sun By SUSAN HENDERSON Pudgy eyes open to a room of darkness as a GENERAL ELECTRIC alarm clock beams the time — 5:30 AM. On with the SONY receiver to the welcome company of 98 ROCK. The sagas of the dreaded morning oldies brought to you by the Breakfast- Squares provide the welcome to the AM hours. Slipping into a bathrobe, slowly making way to the shower, morning becomes somewhat of a reality. Water flows vibrant over a stale body. Odors of IRISH SPRING and HERBAL ESSENCE mix to spark brain cells into working order. Consciousness begins as the path back becomes clearer to sleepy eyes. The dog barks a good morning greeting but is only quieted to protect the slumber of others. Breakfast attention is toward the selection of music by Lesley Green and Greg Stevens of 98 ROCK and the informative antics between. By the end of the meal, grogginess is Getting up early is a fact that must be accepted by all, bus riders more than others because of the bus schedules.

A blow-dryer checked for asbestos adds the finishing touch of styling. A visit to the closet turns out to be filled with dilemmas as the day’s attire proves a difficult choice. A selection for pants prove only less difficult as the choice of a shirt. Halfway dressed, the clock passes the time of 6:50. Sped-up actions seem like a marathon as the race nears the finish line of getting ready. Snatch the books and find the keys ... an end is in sight. Off with the SONY, leaving the DJ’s to entertain other morning migrants. Opening the door to the outside darkness, a faint Have a good day!” delivers from a parent’s bedroom.

Ginny Lessard and Caroline Pedulla munch out on Cheetos during their 30 minute lunch time. Split lunch conquers early morning munchies By SUSAN HENDERSON Borrowing 70 from a parent was a repetitious act often performed by those courageous enough to go through the lines of the school Cafeteria. What could be . . . was a welcome break from the reading and writing drudgeries of school. People watched clocks looking forward to their turn to “chow down.” Books and purses piled high distracted views across the table. Milk cartons were propped up against the side of a tray filled sparingly with small portions of food. The essence of starch and pasta overthrow your senses as you first step foot into the somewhat overcrowded dining area. Hungry bodies assembled in either the Gray” or Tornado” lines in anticipation of their coming meal. One of the new year’s single-session set-backs, the lunch program, was the entertainment part of fourth period. The meeting of friends in the halls disrupted students in the classroom. The only class that had extended minutes devoted for something else, fourth period was spent for either its purpose of eating or its side purpose of finishing neglected homework in the library. Finding a place scarcely cleared by the previous occupants, scraps and crumbs mix with stray forks and crumbled napkins. For those less courageous, a bag lunch or trip to McDonalds proved more appealing. A closed campus rule did not stop visits to nearby eating places. Whether it be a jelly sandwich. Quarter Pounder with cheese, or a selection from the Tornado line, fourth period ended with a satisfied hunger as the day rolled on. Tables serve as a resting place for tag along books during lunch.

The start of something new Rowdy rooters dressed up frat style to add to the Rollin’ into school was made much easier due to spirit of the game. the on campus life activities that broke up the day’s doldrums.y ByJANINE EADDY A kaleidoscope of people and teachers converged into one school. On-campus activities got rolling at 7 o’clock as 2,800 sleepy-eyed students arrived in cars, buses, on bicycles, or on foot. It was the start of something brand new. Class loads increased, and space decreased. To remedy this problem, a ghetto of nine portables was added. Each day E and F mall was gutted making passage impossible and everyone closer friends. Where did it all end? The question remained unanswered, but students continued to take the problems in stride as they supported various activities and clubs. Student Life on Campus 1 3 i E m Ajr A g A ' £i m m a % $ If you’ve seen one By DON NEUBAUM It has always been the same. On any Friday night during football season, at 8:00 PM, most CHS students with an ounce of school spirit could be found watching their Tornadoes take on another foe. That is, when they found time to watch the game. While talking to your neighboring fan, you may have been rudely interrupted by a spectacular play that had just occurred on the field. You see, touchdowns, penalties and interceptions have a way of distracting a fan’s attention. But when the game got back to its normal state, attention was reverted to the casual conversations at hand. While the talking continued, other fans passed time by bombarding fellow fans with confetti, coke cups, and any other object that can be crumpled up and hurled at an unsuspecting victim. This usually led to some measure of retaliation and finally erupted in a gang war until one of those fluke plays temporarily halted the mass shelling. Other groups didn’t partake in such childish activities. They went to the game as a group, all having the same theme in mind. There were several methods of accomplishing this feat, but most used their attire to do the job. Grass skirts, white sheets, and funny hats seemed to dominate the fashion scene. When one of these fans stood up to start a cheer, several of the militant fans unloaded a few rounds of artillery before returning M. Gerakios their attention to the immediate enemy. The away games had the same flavor. Most of the so-called stadiums consisted of a few planks of wood held together by a bolt or two. Fans who didn’t bring seat cushions to the game found these boards extremely uncomfortable. To make matters worse, the seat of your pants was littered with splinters from the rickety boards. The halftime show was yet another facet of the game which the fans tended to ignore. Only parents and friends seemed to show interest in the band and Tornadoettes. Not that the band was anything less than excellent, but even if the band were Led Zeppelin, no one would watch the halftime show. The circumstances really didn’t matter. Whatever happened the similarities between the games were amazing. You see — it was always the same. 14 Football 4John Robinson, Colleen Mayer and Mike Mikuliza flaunt their spirit by wearing shirts sold by the Band Booster Club at the Dixie Hollins game.

Chances were that those who stuck around had club meetings to attend, or other activities to work on. Of course there were mornings when everybody had to drag themselves out of bed to get to school on time, but when the bell rang, few had time to go home. Key Club and Keyette meetings were held every other week. Many students stayed after to run track, or practice football or basketball. Student Council and class meetings claimed a lot of devoted time. Those who sang in any of the choral groups such as Windsong and Seabreeze found themselves performing at area malls and local elementary schools, while the band played on. To top it all off, many students held jobs at the same time. With the abundance of activities available to students, most were involved in one or more. Grades and physical well- being often suffered as busy students paid the price of being overly involved with clubs, jobs, and sports. But face it, we never would have made it through the year without being able to say, “I ' m so tired,” or, “I have so much to do!” Underclassmen kicked off the year with class pictures. Kathy Long poses for the camera. The 1979 Homecoming theme, “Smoke The Spartans” was carried out and depicted in many ways.

Students needed it to do most everything. Movies, concerts, records and clothes all necessitate the use of it. But education is free, or is it? Although most of the necessary school supplies are furnished, seniors found that some of the traditional activities and functions required a payment. One of the first traditions that seniors encountered was that of seniqr pictures. A $1 sitting fee to foot the cost for a senior color section in the yearbook, was required. In addition there was a fee for processing a packet of your favorite pose. Most students took the SAT at least once during their last year of high school. This called for an $8.25 payment when signing up for the test. Seniors who sent applications to a college found that a charge of $1 5.00 was necessary in order for the college to consider the students application. The Senior Gong show went off with a bang as David Yingling and Bob Calder jam. The Gong Show was just one of many events held for Seniors during Senior Week.JL The Village People were among the unpopular disco recording artists, Kenny Lamb and David Webb spoof their song, In The Navy.J 18 Update Yet another requirement of graduation which called for money was the cap and gown. Students had about seven months to get measured by Mr. Steve Gerakios, but most waited until the last minute. The graduation apparel cost each student $12.00. As the end of the year came into sight, seniors were bombarded by a myriad of activities, most of which cost money. The least expensive of these was the Senior Breakfast. On the other hand. Grad Nite and Prom ran into quite a bit of money. A substantial amount was spent on a ticket and dinner for Grad Nite as well as Prom. In addition the rental of a tux or purchase of a dress along with a corsage or boutonniere was a costly necessity on Prom night. Although parents may have contributed to the scholastic portion of these activities, most seniors found that being a senior could cost ‘ ' megabucks. IN AThe once solemn occasion of graduation lost all reverence as the Class of 1 979 tossed their last twelve years to the wind. AMany honors were bestowed on the graduating class of 1 979. Jeff Davis was one of many CHS students who received special recognition. This gutsy senior cavorted around on stage posing as the famous Unknown Comic. Other looney seniors joined in on the fun with similar acts. Nothing but smiles and a few tears were seen last June as nearly eight hundred proud Seniors accepted their diploma, Rene Paulson, Patouillet and Kim Pate patiently wait for their turn. Update 19 Cutting sticky red tape By DON NEUBAUM and JOANNE FORD The bigger a corporation is, the more red tape that is wrapped around the business. The same law can be applied to high school. The larger the school is, the more sticky the standard procedures get. This is a very large school. Upon the arrival of students in cars, buses, and bikes, they hurried in an endless search for that right spot to “hitch their horse. In my opinion, the parking situation at CHS is intolerable, asinine, and extremely out of hand,” said senior George Haber. After finding a place to park — legal or not, the next obstacle that was tackled was that of admits if you were absent or late. The hassles continued. Long lines for three different deans created a mess for several students. In order to have an excused absence, you had to be equipped with a mommy-note” explaining your absence, or a note from somebody who had handwriting similiar ■ - UUnn to Mom’s. Lunch lines were not very fun either. The “Grey and “Tornado” lines, along with the salad bar, twisted and turned in all directions. For the first few weeks, chaos reigned supreme as few students knew where to go to get the meal they desired. Vet the biggest hassle of all was the most obvious — crowded hallways, especially E and F Mall. Some of the problems we re solved by the removal of the lockers and their relocation into the outdoor malls. This movement eliminated another problem; bottom lockers. Those who were stuck with the cellar chambers often got trampled, pushed, and just received general pain in all parts of their bodies. As the year passed, problems that were once major became routine inconveniences. Adaptation to the environment seemed the only way that the student could and did survive. Many students had their own personal methods of staying awake during less than exciting classes and meetings. Steve McCauley demonstrates his method during a Key Club meeting. ± One of the more familiar hassles at CHS was fighting the crowds at 7 a.m. in order to get an excused admit. Another problem was striving to keep under the allotted absences. ± The benches, table, steps and wall have long been a favorite gathering spot for CHS students Jim Slattery, Chris Farmer and Steve Hudson take a break during their free period. 20 Hassles R. Eroala After two long weeks of anticipation, the five senior class representatives for Homecoming finally found out who was to lie the Queen. Sandra Rice receives her crown and cape with her escort Dennis Miller . y M. Gerakois Celebrating making it By JANINE EADDY It all began early in August. There were people to call, clubs to contact, committees to be formed, plans to be made and a queen to be chosen. October 26 — a day that the Student Council nervously looked forward to — j coming Surprised downtown motorists and store owners watch spirit-filled, excited students parade down Gulf-to-Bay screaming “Go Tornadoes!” and “Tornadoes are 1 !” in their hand-made floats during the Homecoming Parade for 1979. Tornado Tales, which was emceed by Mr. Jerry Hiers. But the competition didn’t end there. Friday afternoon, floats assembled in the parking lot, each depicting a different way to “Smoke the Spartans.” The parade wound out of the parking lot and followed the traditional route down Gulf- to-Bay to Fort Harrison. First prize went to the junior class who entered a huge ashtray and Spartan cigarettes. Friday night everyone assembled and watched as the T ornado team did smoke the Spartans. At halftime, Sandra Rice and her court, who were chosen by the student body, were presented. The dance following the game was attended by few — most in attendance were there for the sole purpose of listening to the band. Fusion. Many complained that the band didn’t play music you could dance to and left early, disappointed, to attend various parties. Planning, a queen, a parade, a football game, and a dance — a lot of work, all to make a Homecoming worthwhile. Homecoming. Scores of early risers swamped the school Thursday morning armed with toilet paper, balloons, masking tape and crepe paper — ready to attack their assigned halls. Each club was competing for the first place hall award, which was later given to the senior class. Some came as early as 5 a.m. to get an early start before everyone else arrived. On the evening of October 25, an unusually large crowd gathered in Jack White Stadium to watch all clubs at Students found the hall in front of the library transformed into another E and F Hall of Terror, only this hall was dedicated to spirit. Decorated by the Student Government the Tornado Tunnel of Terror came in third in the judging. ANo . . . Largo didn’t hit us again for another revenge of Largo night. Students “messed up” their own school in order to show spirit for the celebrated Homecoming festivities. Although they failed to win the float contest, senior spirit was high. Trish Miller and Chris Simon proudly ride their float. Homecoming 23 rM ; sstS i 1 ! • 1 JV - W A long way from home , but dam well worth it By JAN I NE EADDY Chinese woks, pizza and pasta, clogs, beer, CARE advertisements, coffee — all reflections of another country’s effect on our American culture. We were constantly bombarded with Barbara Walters interviewing the Shah of Iran, Prince Charles or some other noted official every time you turned on the television or radio. Newspapers and magazines were filled with news from other countries. Beauty contests and the Olympic games threw the natives of many different countries into the public ' s eye. All this media exposure shaped our awareness of people from another hemisphere, but we tended to tuck all this information into the backs of our minds, thinking that we would never have to deal with cultures so different from ours. But did you ever stop to wonder how our culture appears to someone from another country? When asked his first impression of Clearwater High students, Volker Kusserow a native of West Germany, replied, “I think that Clearwater must be the capital for beautiful girls — they are everywhere.” ‘‘In Columbia all boys from the United States are considered handsome,” said Piedad Del Carmen Noguera. Piedad and Volker came to Clearwater under the International Fellowship. Magdalene Harne from B. Meyers Sweden, Herman Ackerman from Munich and Lu Lu DeLourdes Cisneros from Mexico, also traveled under the fellowship. Each student paid $2,250 to this corporation to be able to spend nine months living in Clearwater with an adopted” family and attending Clearwater High. For Volker, Lu Lu, Herman and Piedad the experience of living in the United States was a new one, but Magdalene has lived in New Jersey and Rhode Island. Why were these five students so anxious to leave their home for nine months to live in a totally new .and strange environment? I heard about the opportunity to come here from a teacher, and I immediately wanted to come,” said Volker. When I first arrived I was in shock, I did not speak hardly any English, recalls Piedad. All of the students found the people of CHS friendly. When I first arrived people ignored me until they found out that I was from Germany. Then they all talked to me and asked me questions,” said Herman. In Sweden we concentrated on close friendship — Americans seem to want to have many friends at one time,” said Magdalene. Foreign students looked forward to dating and driving as much as American students did. Dating as we know it, however, is almost unheard of in Sweden, Mexico, and Columbia. Those people date at parties and movies in groups of people. “Drinking is accepted in most of our countries,” said Volker. Levi’s, an all-American favorite, which sold for forty dollars in many countries and records were among the things the exchange students bought during their stay here. Fashion also seemed different. The quality blouses we buy for $30.00 you can find in the stores here for $1 5.00, so we have fewer clothes than the girls here,” said Magdalene. Girls do not dress as feminine in Germany. People go to school dressed in punk rock fashion with writing on their frayed jeans,” said Volker. Not only do they listen to the same music and wear the same jeans, students in other countries also watch American television shows such as Starsky and Hutch,” and Charlie’s Angels.” These TV shows and movies had the native languages dubbed in. Movies only cost $1 .00 or $1 .50 in Mexico — we go to see them all the time,” said Lu Lu. On the surface the differences seemed to be many and the barriers inconceivable, but all the five foreign students had to do was take the initial step. They brought us a little bit of their own culture and personality, and they in turn took a little bit of us home with them. In doing so, this big world will become a little bit smaller. 24 Foreign Exchange Students Although they were not taking classes for credit the foreign exchange students were expected to attend classes regularly. Piedad Del Carmen keeps up with her studies at the library. Volker Kusserow finds Mrs. Elizabeth Ransom’s aeronautics class very informative, Volker plans to be a commercial airplane pilot.T J Upon her arrival, Lu Lu DeLourdes Cisneros immediately jumped into Tazmanian swimming Her speciality was butterfly. Foreign Exchange Students 25 By JANINEEADDY What do you dislike about school the most? The very question sent the mind running wild. But instead of thinking them up, we surveyed a large cross- section of students as to what ticks them off. The list began with the alarm clock. What a way to start a day. Waiting for the bus wasn’t much fun either. If you drove to school, other hazards had to be faced, such as finding a parking place. But getting to school was only the beginning Upon arrival, the student who was still half asleep, had to face six trying hours. The 7 o ' clock bell caught the student hurrying to first period class, dreading the morning announcements. Fifty-four minutes later, it was time to change classes. Six minutes to go to the restroom, your locker, and be in your second period class, by the time the bell rang. Only super students made it. Just getting in and out of the restrooms was a Pet peeves the ins and outs of school major feat, due to the crush of early morning addicts who were getting their nicotine fix. Then on to the locker, inevitably three halls away. Campus travel varied with the weather conditions. Rainy days were a disaster. Leaky roofs narrowed hall traffic into thin, shuffling lines that slalomed around drops and puddles. Another danger zone was the portables, affectionately called the slums. They seemed strategically placed between the gym and the small engine and shop rooms to catch all noise possible, ranging from stanzas of What I did for Love” from the band room, to triumphantly fixed lawnmowers. By mid-morning, students were ready to go home to sleep. Instead they were released for lunch beginning at 1 0. Lunch at 1 0 a.m.? Some, who were weird enough to be hungry at that early hour, braved cafeteria food, while others simply cruised to McDonald’s for an Egg McMuffin. Those who chose to fast, hung i out in the halls, in front of the Media Center, and in the parking lot. The beginning of school and semester changes were a genuine pain. Trying to see your counselor was not always fun, but they usually managed to satisfy requests. Literacy tests also proved difficult, probably due to the test conditions — fiendishly uncomfortable seats and splintered lapboards. Peeling walls, gum stuck to the bottom of graffiti-covered desks, and money- munching coke machines. Sometime or another they all managed to get the best of us. But it was these pet peeves that allowed us to joke through the year. 26 Pet Peeves AMany weekends brought vadalism from broken windows to graffiti. Mike Miller and Quinn Virgillis check out someone’s tribute to Pink Floyd’s The Wall. With single sessions, the halls were once again deserted in the late afternoon. ► The addition of portable classrooms between the gym and the small engines’ room added extra space, but they were a pain to get to in the rain, y Mid-morning ‘lunch’ periods offered 30 minutes to eat lunch. Students often left campus instead of eating at the school cafeteria. Judi Smart, Susan Henderson, Janine Eaddy and Mary Jo Penick eat at Burger King. One of many people’s pet peeves was how to convince couples who passionately kissed each other good-bye in the halls that they’d probably meet again soon. Many people used the cafeteria to study or talk, not to eat.

Sweaters, blouses and boys shirts were dominant. Winter also provided an opportunity to flaunt red and grey athletic jackets.

The beginning involved overcrowding and various other problems. It was tough to get started, but the situation got rollin’. The typical school scene was reinstituted this year by returning to single-session. This meant that the teachers became unified as they all arrived and departed at the same time. Many adjustments were made to accommodate the large percentage of students that attended the over crowded campus. Traditionally, a school cafeteria is a place where students “munch out” and an auditorium is a designated place for performances. However, this year classes were held in these rooms and anywhere else available space was found. With the emergence of single- session, the students weren’t the only ones to put up with a “little inconvenience.” Even the teachers get involved in raising school spirit. Mrs. Helen Wilcox prepares to take a dive into the pit of jello during the Largo game pep rally ► LEADERS: A combination of patience and organization By JANE STEINER When a pinch of patience, a touch of tenderness, and an ounce of organization are mixed together, the creation of a high school principal is formed. Under the guidance and authority of Mr. Garnett Williams is a teaching staff that wants to provide the best education and advice for each and every student. As a young child, Mr. Williams never had the intention of working for the school administration. However, “At the age of 1 2, 1 became a Sunday School teacher and this influenced me the most to work with young people in their education,” Mr. Williams reminisced. After being assistant principal at Clearwater for several years, he climbed his way to the top and has been in command since the fall of 1 974. The big bracket” is the phrase commonly used by Mr. Williams to classify his two assistant principals. “It is broken down so that their jobs are equal,” he said. Maintenance of the school plant and campus, as well as in the classrooms was kept proper by Mr. Russell Stichler. He was often called to duty when there were damages, such as broken windows and small fires in the trash cans. Mr. Jack Sandy was in charge of instruction and curriculum. He conversed with the teachers to determine what each of them would teach. Then he worked with the department chairman to set up the course offerings. He took care of the teachers until their retirement. At the end of this year some will decide to go, one such is math teacher Mrs. Marie Hill. Her schedules will be taken care of by the registrar. Taking care of schedules was on the top of Mr. Ronald Isackson’s agenda. As the registrar, he had the responsibility of enrolling a student in classes mandatory for proceeding from grade to grade. Mr. Isackson also levels the load” of overcrowded classes by verifying that each class had an average of 30-35 students.

Hospitals, stores, boats, trucks, kennels, beauty salons, newspaper editing desks, real estate offices, and state capitols all awaited the moonlighting” teachers of Clearwater High. Moonlighting, working at a second job, was not merely done for self-satisfaction. For many it was an economic necessity. Coach John Nicely, a money marketing agent, explained. Teachers in general are not paid adequately compared to other professions.” Mr. Tom Anderson, an accountant’s assistant, agreed. Teachers are not paid adequately in comparison to their usefulness in society.” While the statistics showed teacher’s pay has been increasing each year, the 38 Faculty Teachers find a way to fight inflation’s bite rate has been about half that of inflation’s toll. A few of the moonlighting teachers hold their extra jobs for reasons other than pure necessity. Dean Jerry Hyde, a colonel in the Army ' s Special Forces, explained his weekly military services as a mutual relationship. I work because I enjoy it, and moonlighting helps break the monotony of school,” he said. Mr. Allain Rimar, a multiple business owner, explained he teaches only because he enjoys it, not because it is a necessity. Several of the moonlighters were apprehensive about how publicity might reflect on their main jobs and teaching. Most teachers, however, were happy to let other people know about their economic plight, and that — for most — holding a second job was a necessity. Mr. Rimar summed it up when he said, “You have to work for what you want.” After the daily teaching of Marine Biology, Mr. Robert Gliha, alias “the Mullet Man” spends many afternoons catching, cleaning and selling fresh seafood at his fish market. 39 Donald Chamberlin Social Studies Alan Chancey Math Alphonso Clark Dean Margaret Cleghorn Social Studies Rudy Coffin P.E.

I have no idea what I am going to do. By SUSAN HENDERSON Education is unquestionably a primary ingredient in the upbringing of all eras. But in the course of time, the job of an educator has become somewhat ambiguous. In today ' s classrooms, the role of teachers has altered. Mrs. Ruby T. Lewis, an English teacher for 23V2 years, expressed teaching not only as a money- paying job, but as a part of her life. Ever since she arrived in Pinellas County from a small town in Kentucky, Clearwater High has been a part of her. As Mrs. Lewis put it, somewhat spiritually, ‘‘It became my life — not a job — my life.” But for some time, Mrs. Lewis felt a change in the system of education. “I felt like there is no longer a guiding force in public education anymore. Not just here, but all over.” This feeling hung over her for sometime but finally became evident during the controversy of her putting Bible verses on the blackboard. ‘‘It became the event of the day for me, (putting the verses on the board)” she told a St. Petersburg Times reporter. ‘‘No one ever asked me about it. I didn’t start out saying ‘I’m going to challenge the school system.’ We shared them like we shared everything else. I shared my life with those students.” Her classes absorbed her personal touch at their own perogative. For three years the verses benefited the students, until the controversy sparked. It was then that the sharing of her verses ceased by the order of School Superintendent Gud Sakkis. He convinced Mrs. Lewis that her practice was in violation of Supreme Court decisions on prayer and Bible readings in public schools. With this, Mrs. Lewis decided that this phase of her life had ended. “I would lose all I’ve created with my freedom to function. I would have Although Mrs. Ruby Lewis ' classroom is empty, her intentions for retired life are not. I don’t exactly know what I’m going to do now, but I know it will have something to do with helping teenagers.” Whatever it is I’ll do it well.” As for her comment on this generation’s teaching; “ ' t’s a hard job, and I hope it gets better.” Faculty 41 M.

However, the family image was slightly different at school than it was at home. At least once a day, the parents were visited by their offspring as they came calling for lunch money, solutions for their problems, or just to say hello. On the other hand, some parents tracked down their teenagers to find out what they had planned for the remainder of the day.

They had seen enough paper wads and spit balls fly through the air for one day. Needing to get away from it all, every teacher had an outlet for the day’s frustration. Some went home and shoved needles threw a piece of cloth, some dug holes in the ground and stuck plants in them, and some, pow, thwock, smash, played racquetball. Faculty members Tom Anderson, Jim McClelland, Donald Prokes, an organizer Gerald McManamon, along with ex- assistant principal Larry Goodbread and two other non-school related men, played racquetball every Wednesday night starting in September. In order to escape the tension of their lives in the classroom, many teachers found different outlets. Coaches Jim McClelland, Don Prokes, and Jerry McManamon release their frustrations during an intense game of racquetball. ‘‘We old men are finding out that racquetball is a pretty rough, fast game. It proves to be dangerous too,” said Coach McClelland. Some of the most serious injuries were Mr. Goodbread’s broken ankle, and Coach Mac’s broken hand which was cracked previously while refereeing a basketball game. Every player also received the assorted bumps and bruises that one can get in a so- called ‘‘non-contact” sport. But the spirit of competition seemed to overshadow the pain inflicted. The competition was very intense, but very friendly,” said Coach McClelland. Besides enjoying the relaxation that racquetball provided, the guys enjoyed the easy-going time they spent together. We all enjoyed the fellowship we shared away from school,” said Coach Mac. While Coaches Mac, Prokes and McClelland all claimed that Coach Anderson is a great athlete,” Coach Anderson jokingly said he usually won because he was a bit younger than the rest of them.” But racquetball was not the only game teachers played. Coaches Mac, Anderson, and McClelland, are all avid golfers. Coach McClelland was the varsity golf coach and Coach Anderson was an excellent golfer at Mankato State University in Minnesota. He was a first All-American selection and finished second in the NCAA. “I definitely considered turning pro. That is why I moved to Florida — to play all year round. But someone talked me out of it,” Anderson said. “I’m not as good as I used to be, but I still break 80. 1 play golf because I enjoy the game, but the company is the main reason why I play racquetball. I don’t like to lose, but I forget about losing late at night. Racquetball is good exercise — I’ve lost 1 3 pounds since we started in September, said Coach Anderson. It didn ' t matter who won because nobody really cared. The important thing was that they enjoyed themselves and released tensions — and that was what it was all about.

As a student walked into the front office, the common question of, ‘‘Can I help you?” was asked. Every day was welcomed with a smile as the non- teaching personnel accomplished their tasks of typing, filing, cooking, cleaning and taking messages. The library provided a selection of materials for the benefit of each student. The four librarians in the media center tried to assist students in every way possible. To overcome the problems of researching a term paper, librarians directed the students to the card catalogue and reference books. A well- coordinated system of checking in and out books helped the librarians discover which books were overdue and which ones were stolen. Librarians weren’t the only people that “looked after the kids.” Custodians did too, by taking care of the school campus and keeping it clean. Many of these men spent long hours — even weekends at the school to make repairs. They also spent time cleaning up the “decorations” and litter placed on the campus before, during and after school hours and school activities. Like custodians, the cafeteria workers came to the kitchen day after day. It was here that they prepared a salad bar and two-well-balanced meals for hungry students. For 1 V 2 hours, the cafeteria ladies served this food, but their work did not end here. After the students returned to class,the ladies had a big job ahead of them. Every day they managed to accomplish this task, leaving the kitchen spic and span for the next day’s routine. After the many years preparations that went into cooking one meal for hundreds of famished kids, cafeteria manager Mrs. Edell Hogue decided to go back to cooking soley for her family.

A sound or a combination of sounds, or its representation in writing or printing, that symbolizes and communicates meaning and may consist of a single morpheme or a combination of morphemes. The definition of a word. Whether it be silent, spoken, written or read — everyone comes in contact with words everyday. Miss Catherine Henry, head of the English department, put it well when she said, “What do we use more in our lives than language?

PRACTICE: By JANE STEINER “Repeat after me,” and We’re going to do it until we get it right,” were two familiar sayings heard daily by many students. Having Drivers Education or a foreign language meant applying oneself to continual repetition and constant performance. For the beginners, the repetitious lesson had begun. Mastering the difficulty of driving in a straight line for the first time was perhaps not as difficult as learning how to pronounce your own name in a different language. The habit of repeating material once again to get it right appeared in the lives of the advanced students. They experienced the excitement of making right and left turns without recovering on the wrong side of the road, as well as conjugating the appropriate forms of verbs. Once the students accomplished the previous levels of lessons, they had a chance to proceed one step higher. Having good control of a car when making U-turns, two-point turns, and three-point turns was just as important as knowing the different tense of verbs in a new vocabulary. “The task of parallel parking proved easier than expected as experts squeezed through and around the cones, explained Coach Jack Wilson, head of the Drivers Education department. Mrs. Laraine O’Neill, head of the foreign language department, said that many students have the goal of being able to translate a magazine article as well as being able to understand a foreign language.” Walking in the parking lot by X-1 , and down B mall listening to the combination of students speaking Spanish, French, Latin, German and Greek, made everyone realize the amount of practice it took to get everything just right.

The Social Studies department, with Mr. Ray Rilling as head, offered American History, World History, and Bible History for future historians interested in researching statistics. CPS compared the differences of political systems while Anthropology and Psychology shared the common study of man and his emotions. Maps were used in Urban Geography for the purpose of finding a designated area. Similarly, the Constitution of the United States was used by the American Institutions students as they studied the government and how it functions. While the Social Studies had factual records, the music department — under the direction of Mr. Donald Hacker — had musical ones. of the past of the present The CHS musicians carefully chose their music to fit today’s top ten popular songs. There were differences in opinions between the musicians as they sight-read new music. But with a little practice everyone’s opinions were harmonized, and the sound was perfected. Day after day a series of “warm-ups” were completed by the musicians to get in tune with each other. Sport games and concerts were complimented by the euphonious music of familiar tunes.

Who sets us on the road? Who prepares us for the unpreparable? Whether it’s the pecking of keys with one finger or the punching of time cards, students were given a head start on their way down the road through courses in business. When instructed to type a term paper with double spacing, correct margins, and no typographical errors, some students panicked. But they were rescued through the course of Typing I. For those who know shorthand, note- taking from dictation was made a lot easier. “The business courses prepare students for jobs and also for their personal experiences in life,’’ said Mr. Ivan Werkhiser, head of the business department. DCT, for example, explored the many fields in the job world while CHO focused on the medical field as students learned to wrap-up each other. Not yet ready for the dive, but instead for a slight “dip” in the rough water of the business world, students learned the tricks of the trade and were readily rescued through business classes.

Physical Education and ROTC provided the physical activity that the eager athletes were looking for. The head of the ROTC department, Lt. Col. Ralph Moody states that, “every six weeks, the cadets have a physical fitness test. As they strive for the reduction of weight, they keep the motto ‘better your best ' in mind.” The PE department was once again under the leadership of Coach Herb Dudley. Roll call became a common experience for everyone. As the students assembled themselves alphabetically, roll call was taken. Immediately after that, ROTC members toned up their muscles by doing their vigorous routine of calisthenics.

School days seemed to drag on. But some students got their days rolling along by joining the myriad of school clubs available. In order to carry out their plans, clubs had to acquire revenue. They performed the traditional methods of accomplishing this goal, from selling M Ms and “gummi bears” to sponsoring car washes and jello jumps. Clubs were a way of defeating the everyday school humdrum. Homecoming is the highpoint of spirit for most clubs. Representatives of the varsity and jayvee cheerleaders, Keyettes and Key Club, and Tornadoettes are preparing for the parade. In order for a club to be successful, they must find some way to make money. One way is to sell trinkets or candy at school to the starving student body, y 68 Key Club A Key Club had a different kind of initiation than most clubs.

Miller Key Club seeks a classy image By HOLLY ROUB The desire to become something comes with the amount of enthusiasm and ambition involved. For Key Club, the desire was to become a well established, classy club and this they were. Not only were they an asset to our school, but they were also well known in the community. Starting promptly at the beginning of the school year, Key Club got to work on, in, and out of school activities, some of which involved the Keyettes. One such activity was the Key Club ' s initiation. Much to the surprise of the administration, faculty and the students, the members of the club showed up in three-piece suits and were escorted to each class by the Keyettes. Clubbers felt proud to have done something different. Senior Brett Broadwell related, “It was a good idea and I felt better about that than wearing mis-matched clothes and walking backwards down the hall.” Another activity held with the Keyettes was a picnic during lunch between the library and the ROTC building. Hamburgers were grilled and Cokes were guzzled as the group munched out.” “We were lucky to be able to have had it. I think we proved ourselves to the administration,” stated senior George Haber. Serving the community was also among Key Club’s plann ed activities. Sponsored by the Kiwanis Club, the Key Club strived to represent their sponsors well. To begin. Key Club and Keyettes helped in the Kiwanis Club, Fun Day. Held at Camp Soule, this was a day full of activities for retarded children. Among the clubbers activities were bagging popcorn and playing games with the children. Limiting services to school was common to a lot of clubs, but Key Clubs’ main purpose was doing service aids out of school. Doing things for disabled people played a big part in our year, said junior Jay Kelly. Among these activities was a trip to Morton Plant Hospital before Christmas. Clubbers entertained by singing carols and putting on a magic show. Helping individuals was not the club’s sole endeavor. During the holidays, cookbooks were sold by the club. The club also helped to beautify the school with a project known as the Dust Bowl. The clubbers took the area between the library and the PA building and restored it. Money for this service came from the E-jello-cation,” in which selected teachers jumped into Jell-O. When Homecoming rolled around, the Key Club got into action and planned a skit. With Scott Schlesman starring as Ted Nugent, a Spartan was burned in the midst of other Spartans who were wearing tutus. Almost as soon as Homecoming ended, plans for the Largo Pep Rally began. Key Club once again came up with a successful fund-raising scheme. With the incentive of executing the packers, Key Club held their own execution by E-jellocuting the teachers.

New members and old planned activities such as Handicapped Awareness Day. President Mike Hall explained, We’re going to get in wheelchairs and use crutches, because we want to see what it would be like to be handicapped. We also want other people to realize.” Besides being a service club, Key Club had it’s share of fun-filled activities. On Valentine’s Day, a dinner dance on the Captain Anderson dinner boat was held. This was a three hour cruise which included dinner, dancing with senior citizens, and moonlighting on the third deck. Yet another project planned was an antique car show, to be held by the cafeteria. Mike felt that a lot of the students would be interested in looking at the old cars during their lunch period.

The floor is covered with obstacles — a few chairs, some stools, a hassock, even a rocking chair. Desks and light tables protrude from the perimeter of the room. Plaques, awards, posters and comic strips clutter the walls. A sign with an oversized cardboard hand points toward a desk. The sign reads, It’s all her fault!” Above the desk is yet another sign. This one is directed toward the editor. “Staffers unite! Rebel against your editor!” Where is this strange place, some far away planet? Are these all signs of an unsatisfied staff? Nope. These are just the comments of a During fourth period lunch break, staffers congregated in A-2 instead of the cafeteria.

We’ve covered more controversial work, like Scientology and drugs,” said Celia. Why all the signs on the walls? Business-Ad manager Denise Lathrop jokingly said, “We have nothing else to do!” But after thinking about it for a minute she added, “I really don’t know why, but it’s always been like that.

We are separate people, but we’ve got a job to do, and we do it. Sophomore Mike Mikuliza voiced a similar opinion. “Sometimes our personalities clash when we’re together for a LONG period of time, but basically everyone gets along, and we have a great time together. Not only did they have a great time amongst themselves, but they also had a (continued) Clearlight 73 M. Gerakjos controversies . . . great time with the Aqua Clara staff. We seem to be a lot closer to them (the Aqua Clara staff) this year, said Celia. Although the two publications cannot be compared, we both realize what the other goes through to put out a quality publication, and we respect each other for that. We are both voices of the school. But the voice that guides these competent fun-seekers is not that of the school, but of their adviser, Mrs. Shirley Broad. Ever since Mrs. Broad has been the adviser we’ve gained national prominence with our award winning paper,” commented Celia. Celia is also confident that next year’s Clearlight will also b e a success with the guidance of editor Pam Metz. A rebellious staff? No way.

For the cheerleaders, the games outcome was not the only thing to be nervous about. As hopeful faces filled the stadium, anxiety overcame the cheerleaders. Junior Tara Jones remembered her first game, “It was exciting, but I was really scared. I thought if I made a mistake everyone would laugh at me. With hundreds of eyes on each cheerleader, they attempted to fire up the crowd. “It’s hard to excite the crowd when they’re not getting fired up. The best thing we can do in this situation is to stay fired up ourselves for the team’s sake,” said junior Diane Blaney. In addition to their endeavor of firing up the crowd, the cheerleaders had the task of making signs and spirit letters before every game. They also sponsored the hall contest for the Largo game and sold whistles to raise money and spirit. Summers were not all vacation for the squad, as they spent five days at camp in Gainesville. They achieved third place overall, and were nominated as one of the three most spirited squads. Co- captain Karen Chamberlain summed it up, “Competition was unusually tough this year, and I think we did relatively well.” As the game got going, the tension eased. Each performer survived the paranoia and got used to the attentive eyes. ■W- AThe varsity cheerleaders form a line to get ready for the “Tip-off Tournament.” The ’79-’80 varsity cheerleaders: (Kneeling) Karen Chamberlin, Suzanne Strayer, (Second row) Laura Nelson, Lisa Poletz, Missy Webb.

Bryan Successful despite hard breaks By KIM MILLER Dedication, school spirit and an endurance for pain is what was essential to survive at cheerleading camp. The jayvee cheerleaders were the proud recipients of a first place tie with a varsity squad, but they had to pay the price of a few sprained ankles, a broken foot, torn ligaments and other various body malfunctions. “Camp was a four day clinic where we learned cheers and actually became a squad,” explained captain Pam Reddick. “We argued about silly things at camp, but I think it helped us become good friends,” explained co-captain Shona Fergusson. Although all of the girls cheer to raise school spirit, each one of them has her own diverse cause for cheering. Lori Cribb said, “I try to get people to come to the games and stuff.” Smiling and primping all the time is what cheerleading is all about, some people think but it’s not. All of the girls explained, “You just have to be yourself, and try to set an example of school spirit and team support.” This wasn’t as easy as it sounded, especially with the experience of as little as two years and as many as eight. The girls continued practicing twice a week. We sold doughnuts, two different buttons and our old uniforms to the freshman cheerleaders to raise money for new equipment, said Lisa. Jayvee cheerleaders are a breed to themselves. Without the aid of rhythmical screaming voices and precise gymnastics the crowd would feel like they came to see a movie without popcorn. So when you hear someone mention jayvee sports, don’t let them forget about the jayvee cheerleaders and the support they give to the team. -4 Each individual member adds to the whole squad ' s sound.

As of 1 979, freshman sports were cut from Pinellas County schools. Therefore, it seemed there was no need for freshman cheerleaders — but the Class of ’83 had a lot of spirit, and they wanted to show it. At the beginning o f the year, a squad of eight freshman cheerleaders was chosen. Since there were no freshman teams to cheer for, the girls cheered for the Girls’ Varsity Basketball Team. They hoped to spur more interest in the Lady Tornadoes. This was the first time at CHS that a squad of cheerleaders has been chosen to cheer only for a girls team. “It’s kind of a disappointment not to have your own team to cheer for, but it’s good experience for next year,” said Dale Deaton. Their sponsor this year was Mrs. Deann Miller, a parent-volunteer who wanted to help the girls. “I just wanted to give the girls a chance to cheer. It’s a good and very important experience. I was a cheerleader myself and maybe that is why I am so interested in helping the girls. I really enjoy watching them cheer, said Mrs. Miller. Her assistant was Kim Couzens, who coached the girls Kim is a ’79 graduate of CHS and was a cheerleader herself. I asked Kim to coach because I knew she was really good and she was very interested in cheerleading,” added Mrs. Miller. We practice two hours a day, two to four days a week, said Carol Rohdy. The freshman teams may have been deleted this year, but there certainly wasn ' t a cut in the spirit of the freshman class.

Freshman Cheerleaders 79 Realizing that winning isn ’t everything By HOLLY ROUB AND SUSAN HENDERSON In the middle of a sporting event, athletes minds were centered towards winning and coming out on top, but when the event diminished, the feeling eased and resorted to other thoughts. Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) provided the chance for voicing these thoughts and headed them towards spiritual expression. Chaplain Dan Buffington explained, It was a chance to get together, in a Christian atmosphere, to share your ideas.” He went on to say, We talk about applying Christianity not only in sports, but to everyday life.” Therefore, FCA is not only for athletes . . . anyone can join and we’d like them to.” FCA had meetings, usually at the YMCA, to discuss these things. They went on retreats to various places, including Black Mountain, North Carolina, at the end of the year. These retreats included sessions on different aspects of Christianity and got their minds away from thoughts of competition, they were used to. It now becomes more evident that winning isn ' t everything. Coach John Nicely urged his football players to join FCA. Many did, but many members played other sports, too.V Thoughts of competitiveness fly through Dale Deaton’s mind as she cheers on the girl’s basketball team.y J FCA meetings are held at the YMCA every other Thursday.

New start , overall , proves worth it B. Meyers By SUSAN McDANIEL After one year of inactivity, the Wrestlerettes finally started to roll! All of them were bombarded with questions such as: Why are you wearing that uniform?, What are you?. What is a Wrestlerette, and are Wrestlerettes lady wrestlers? Gracefully the eight girls explained who and what they were, and — NO THEY WERE NOT LADY WRESTLERS!! The girls strived to raise the attendance at the matches by hanging spirit banners in the halls. One match was held during fifth and sixth periods against Largo. The match drew many curious onlookers who had never seen wrestlers — or wrestlerettes before. That attendance was one of the largest during the season. The girls usually practiced on weekends. “Practice was hard, but I enjoyed it. It all paid off in the end,” said sophomore Leslie Moninger. Headed by veteran cheerleaders Leah Jenkins and Lee Wisnewski, the group was a great success. There were many times when adviser Robert Davis pulled the Wrestlerettes through rough times, and all the girls appreciated it. Lee summed up the feelings of the squad by saying, “Although a lot of times we ended up with aching muscles and hoarse voices, I don’t think anyone regretted a single moment of it!” Trying to get a cheer together. Captain Leah Jenkins spreads the word to Lisa Totten and Leslie Moninger. The squad waits anxiously to see the outcome of the match.

Looking at the less than lovely decor of the auditorium, the expectations of the evening’s performance became a bit dismal. Suddenly the house lights went down, the curtain up and there was a completely different world. Your peers were on stage, yet they were not your peers — they had metamorphosied into the characters they portrayed. For the next two hours you were entranced, involved and totally absorbed by the onstage saga. During the weeks before the scheduled performance, the cast poured their lives into the play, whether they were the leading lady or part of the backstage crew. To become part of the International Thespian Society a combination of ten points was needed. Thespians earned these points in several ways; working backstage, performing, and make-up crew were just a few. The number of points received varied. If someone had a major part, they would get more points than someone who worked on make-up. The group’s first production this year was Hound of the Baskervilles. The attendance at the show marked improvement over last year’s production of Exit the King. “I thought that Hound of the Baskervilles was very good. I saw it three times,” stated sophomore Kim Miller. One reason for this may be the publicity that the drama department received for last year’s production of The Sound of Music. The Thespian Society, under the direction of Mr. Phil Morron, was constantly working on such skills as projection carriage, enunciation and onstage presence. The only way to correct these imperfections was to 82 Thespian Society Going over and over the script proves to be a necessity for all involved for a Thespian play.

Once part of the cast, whether working with make-up to age a 1 7-year-old to a 7 1 - year-old or building sets, rehearsals soon became the mainstay of their lives. The props crew rummaged like pack rats to find the right table or lamp. Making sure that the doors and windows stayed intact during a performance was all a part of the stage crew’s life. As the curtain went down and your dismal expectations were totally diminished, your view of the Thespian Society had grown into an admiration for a group of talented, hard-working performers. K.

Thespian Society 83 Regaining a reputation in school and out By SUSAN HENDERSON The social tie between friends carries over from a shared class to out of school plans. A socially organized club known as Interact, gave two sides to their reputation. They sustained their input to school projects, but kept their reputation up for being an out of school ‘‘party crowd.” Sponsored by the Rotary club, Interact added beautification to the school in various ways. One such way involved the “spring cleaning” of the library windows. Along with club President Dean Lafferty, members rolled their jeans up and scrubbed, to make the windows shine. After school hours developed into the typical American social gathering, consisting of the Interact pack of friends. An open bonfire invited others, increasing the variety of the congregation. Sixty people converging in school and out, increased their quality reputation. Whether with scrub brushes or wooden matches, the club interacted to regain their reputation. toA .in n f 1 .0 : j .

Aqua Clara, the only bell that mattered was that of the phone. For the sleepless crew, sixth period seemed never-ending.

Aqua Clara 87 Aqua Clara: We do it all for you By SUSAN HENDERSON With the realization of responsibility comes the desire to be the best. A theme is conceived, becoming the basis of the entire toil. Brainstorming proves to be the best method of getting ideas that survive. Hard work begins only after the conception of workable ideas. The production of a yearbook is constituted by the vague thoughts that are nurtured into 400 pages, all reflecting the events of one year. The Aqua Clara is put out by an 1 8- member staff of devoted hardworkers. An ad quota of $400, along with extended book sales, backed the effort financially. Copy Editor Joanne Ford said, Not very many people realize how hard most of the staffers work. We try hard to put together a book that the students will like. It doesn’t matter if we win any awards, it’s the students’ acceptance that really counts. On this the Aqua Clara family” strives for student body acceptance. Each of the pages required a detailed layout, distinctive of the theme’s format. Composed words, developed pictures, and styled layouts merge together creating the personality.of each individual page. Last year’s edition, using the PEOPLE magazine format, received a Medalist award from the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. This provided an incentive for this year’s edition of the 1 980 Aqua Clara. For the student body to accept the creation that 18 people have devoted an entire year to, is the most satisfying award of all. For the vague thoughts to turn into a completed work is most rewarding. Words, pictures, and layouts rolling together, creating something everyone, creators and receivers alike, can be proud of. 88 Aqua Clara The 1 8-member staff was a cult of individual characters.

Singing in a spotlight By JUDI SMART and JOHN BRYAN Just as Clearwater’s water front was filled with the harmony of a gentle breeze, so were the halls of CHS — that is when the voices of Seabreeze and Windsong were in full session. Both choral groups gave noticeable impressions as they rolled into the 80’s, bringing about new looks. Seabreeze no longer would show the soft yellow flowing gowns that became so familiar to our eyes in the 70s. The girls introduced 90 Windsong and Seabreeze black dresses which complimented each and every tuxedo on stage with an added touch of maturity. For Windsong there was a wide variety of musical talent including both senior and junior guys and girls. This troupe provided entertainment beyond group singing. Choreography and solos were influential throughout their programs. Windsong established a bond with their audiences while performing around the bay area at various social clubs, civic centers and country clubs. Windsong benefited from the help of Patty Yingling. She provided the group wit h the musical artistry of her piano accompaniment. Brooks Goodgame, a member of Windsong, said, “Before eleventh grade and the Sound of Music I didn’t even consider pursuing music, but because of my involvement in the senior ensemble, I am now considering it.” What is the consensus of the members of the groups? They all love it. Windsong offers a broad range of opportunity to anyone with the talent, ability, and patience to endure long practices and musical productions. Seabreeze and Windsong went through many changes, all designed to improve the intensity of their performance on stage.

Concert Choir diligently spent their days selling goo-goos” to raise money to go to contest in February, along with all the other groups. This group was as together as was possible, in fact they were similar to a can of sardines. By themselves they may not have been too strong, but when Concert Choir got together, you could sure tell they were coming. Concert Choir was not the only loud sounding voice coming from the vocal room. Girls’ Chorus stepped in after a debut as a Nuns’ chorus in the Sound of Music. Like the other groups, Girls’ Chorus planned to go to Miami for district contests. Rob McNeil, an intern from University of South Florida, helped out in directing the successful group.

The officers arranged meetings and get togethers under the advice of Miss Cheryl Thomas, a foreign language teacher. Those get-togethers, which occurred during various holidays, encouraged members to learn about diverse cultures. “At Christmas time we went to Terell’s Restaurant and had a Spanish cuisine, explained Miss Thomas. “We plan to have a covered dish dinner at a meeting hall after mid-year exams, said Teri Clark. Although the club is available to learn about cultures, many friendships are formed. I joined the club mainly to get to know more people, explained Kim Schlesman, an active club member. Marianna Campbell and Kim both said they enjoy Spanish, and want to meet people in the club. International Club 93 V I. r r r% V ' j v ' A Standing for hours was painful. Margaret Horvath grins and bears the pain. A smile could be found on many Usherettes faces. Sally Brzezinski breaks the monotony by cracking jokes with friends. Usherettes carry on long-standing tradition By MARY JO PENICK Fridays were made for football and basketball. This was the firm belief of each and every Usherette. After a filling supper at the house of a willing victim, the girls proceeded to the game. Students sat in the stands and rooted their team on, while Usherettes stood and guarded the reserved section from straying fans. Most nights passed by with few hassles but occasionally a minor problem was encountered. Junior high students tried to test their cunning by sneaking into the reserved section without a ticket, or by ducking under the chains set up at each auditorium. A cursory glance at the scoreboard could reveal the battle in the field, but not the one each Usherette was undergoing. The throbbing pain of feet and legs, the sadness of not being able to sit in the stands with friends, and the fear of falling asleep standing up were all experienced by the nineteen faithful girls. As the football season passed, basketball bounced into the picture. New responsibilities came with it. Eight girls worked each home basketball game. Usherettes held the rope during halftime and after the game to keep wandering crowds off the basketball court. The girls also sold programs. Athletic events were not the only things the Usherettes helped with. Assemblies, graduation, and the Fun-n- Sun Parade were among their projects. Everything was successful thanks to Mrs. Estelle Torok, who worked hard to support the Usherettes. Pom-Pons were sold to raise money, and a new item — keychains, really accelerated school spirits. Ushering was not all work and pain. Many parties were held. During a Flalloween costume party, the three little pigs showed up, along with a witch. The Christmas party, however, brought out a different view of the girls when they dressed up and traveled from house to house for different courses of a mouth- watering meal. An ice cream party at Farrells was planned also. Through all the misery of swelling feet and rope burned hands, every Usherette will look back someday with pride. “It was a lot of responsibility, but it was fun,” summed up co-captain Susan Williams. . , 0 ' % 94 Usherettes Work revolves around mechanics for Frank Parks since he began his DOT job at Firestone. ► | ± Keeping up with the sales at House of 3 Volkswagen, Suzan McGee is happy when her tape and ledger totals match. Significance unknown to students 96 DCT By DEBBIE BUCKMAN Diversified Cooperative Training — most Clearwater High School students haven ' t the slightest idea of what these words mean. It is a school course which teaches students the ways of the working world. DCT has been a part of the CHS program for 37 years.

Students receive credits for this class, just like any other. The only difference is that DCT is on-the-job training. A main part in the program is jobs that are found for the students. Finding these jobs is the main responsibility of the coordinator — Mr. Roberts. Then during class, students are trained in the proper way to go about getting and keeping a job. For a student who wishes to learn a trade, DCT is also very beneficial. Many of the jobs offered to students have to do with mechanics and the manufacturing industry. Still other students work in restaurants as busboys, waitresses or chefs. “We try to teach students how to make the most of having a job and then let them get out there and give it a try.” A job requires a lot of responsibility. DCT certainly helps. G. Gunther Preparing a plate for the Clock Restaurant, Mike Sizemore learns the aspects of food services.

Diversified Cooperative Training, (DCT), along with an adequate knowledge of the job you choose. DCT is a very beneficial course that prepares you for an occupation in your area of interest. Students found that the specialized instruction helped their interviews go smoothly. After their other courses they reported to DCT where they spent one hour at school and two hours at their job. This club is not one in which each person is handed an “A”. According to Susan McGee, This class is no pushover. We have comparatively hard tests prepared especially for our jobs.” Susan went on to say, Although I have to work hard to earn my grade, I appreciate it because it gives me a sense of responsibility. The training program was designed for eleventh and twelfth graders. Sales, welding, mechanics, and food services are some of the many jobs available. This course could prove to be a valuable one because it trains students, and helps them prepare for their life in the world of work.

Under the new leadership of Miss Cheryl Thomas, the Keyettes were an asset to their school and community. To begin the year, the Keyettes helped with the Kiwanis Fun Day. For retarded children, this was held at Camp Soule. The Keyettes, sponsored by the Ladies of Kiwanis, helped to make this day a success. i L Democracy is the way that the Keyettes worked their projects. Tami Dangler expresses her point. Keyettes joined with the Key Club for many of their events. A picnic during the school lunch time was only one such project. The Keyettes also planned to have a canned food drive during Christmas to help needy people. They also decorated a nursing home. But besides helping the community, the Keyettes were active in school. They sold spirit ribbons for the first basketball games. This was a tactic to raise both spirit and money. We wanted to get spirits going for basketball season early. Everyone was still in football spirits, said club member Laura Nelson. Another fund-raising activity was held in January. The Keyettes sold candy, which always seems to be a good fund-raiser. People are easily distracted by the rousing aroma of chocolate . . . especially on an empty stomach. For the second year in a row, the Keyettes sold carnations near Valentine’s Day. There was a choice of three colors. The familiar red meant I love you, pink meant I like you, and white was From your secret admirer.” Students secretly signed up to give their valentine a carnation and made the seller vow not to reveal him. The Keyettes also won awards. They came in second in the hall contest before the Largo game. Even though they were an independent club, the Keyettes worked with the Key Club.

We can get more accomplished together. We can also make more friends. Lisa Hively says, “It is obvious that the Keyettes are more than just ' an ordinary club ' .

Instead, after attending four classes, these students went straight to work selling everything from jeans to honey. DE students, all of whom were interested in marketing and merchandising, had one period of DE along with whatever other classes they had. The students received excellent experience in on-the-job training. Adviser Robert Davis explained, ‘‘DE is an in- depth merchandising course. Graduates of our DE course should be able to start their own business. So, contrary to popular belief, DE was not a gimmick for a free-ride through school.

By HOLLY ROUB Having a job and going to school were not the only activities Distributive Education (DE) students were involved in. A big part of their year was devoted to preparing for county, state, and national meets. County meets, held in February, offered competition in different areas of merchandising and managing. Adviser Elinor Burger stated, “They (DE students) have the opportunity at districts to compete in their different areas of merchandising and managing. These areas range from fashion design to food services. The top four or five at the county meet went on to state. The state meet consisted of the same areas of competition. Andrea Horton, a ' 79 graduate, won at state and went on to nationals. Leslie Stalling, a ’78 graduate, came in 6th place nationally that year and is now a fashion designer in Paris. County, state, and national meets played a big part in the DE students’ year. Mrs. Eleanor Burger summed it up by saying, “It gives the students experience in competition Which will then help them compete in the business world.

Scott Forseth contributes to this a Amy Peterson and Deanna Christy sell him a donut. Dreams get a healthy boost By MARY JO PENICK A plastic stethoscope hangs from her neck. Bandages stick to a favorite doll. A child has a dream of someday becoming a doctor or nurse. Cooperative Health Occupations or CHO, and Health Service Aide or HSA, help to fulfill those dreams once he or she is in high school. CHO offers people a chance to get out and help others. Amy Peterson feels it is a really good group. “It familiarizes you with the different fields of medicine. It tests your will to become a doctor. Plus you meet a lot of interesting people.” The class consists of seniors who spend their first semester in a class that takes up the last three periods of the day. This is where the students learn to change beds, care for the sick, and communicate with others. Besides helping people, HSA and CHO deal with animals. For instance, Stephanie Davis wants to be a veterinarian’s assistant. HSA involved juniors and seniors who go through the same type of classes and jobs as CHO members. Juniors in HSA may join CHO their senior year without repeating classes, but going directly into a job. Even after graduation many students keep their jobs. Some use the money to help pay for college costs, while others, like Janet Nash, keep their jobs for extra income. Of course, CHO and HSA are not all work and no fun. One way they raised money this year was by having a car wash. Cqndy and donut sales brought in money also. “I like to participate in the fund raising activities, said club member Jim McGoulan. The money raised is put towards the CHO banquet held for the employers at the end of the year. This is the club’s small way of saying “Thank you.” When the training and practice is finally over, CHO ' ers become certified nursing assistants. Their childhood dreams finally begin to take shape.

There is also a $5 membership fee paid before they start providing the community with their talented services. Last year’s district first-place winner, Guy Bryant, expresses VICA as being a good opportunity for experience in my architectural work.” Last year, being the first ever to go to state, Clearwater VICAs placed a very impressive third place.

Not if you’re a member of the Computer Club. Students in this group would quickly be able to tell you that the above three lines are the first in a sequence of many in a program. According to adviser James McClelland, the club certainly exists, the problem is that not too many students are aware of it. Mr. McClelland said, We’re looking for more people to join both Computer Club and Computer Math. There isn’t a prerequisite, although you should have a good basis in algebra. Open to all grades and any one who is interested in learning more about computers, the group visited installations to watch professionals in action. Like all other clubs, this one needed to raise money. But for what? And how? “We really need more equipment,” said Mr. McClelland. “There’s not enough availability for students.” So the group attended to their difficult task of fund- raising — not by having donut and candy sales, but by selling computer- printed Christmas cards. But that’s not all. The group also planned a Computer Dating Service for the students, similar to that offered by professional services. The people involved in Computer Club didn’t just go to the bi-monthly meetings, one or more were found in the computer room at anytime of the day.

Although these words are not familiar to everyone, any chess player would understand them. Both the type who like an occasional relaxing game, or the serious fan who jumps at the chance to play, can be found at CHS. The fact that the chess club is 22 people strong proves it. We encourage anyone to join our club, says sponsor George Carswell, who is a former state champion. “There are no requirements, just that they know how to play or would seriously like to learn. The chess club, which has existed for eleven years, spends most of its meeting time practicing. The members play against each other and against computers. “And of course I’m there to help with any problems,” said Mr. Carswell. Mr. Carswell spent a lot of time this year giving advice and teaching some basic techniques like how to put your opponent into a checkmate in a few simple moves. The club, which has no dues, planned donut sales and other projects to help pay for tournament fees. Club president Tom Stiers said members spent a lot of time going to tournaments. The club also competed in speed tournaments and championships. They planned to attend the Florida High School Chess Tournament, and hoped to send somebody to the national tournament. Two years ago they ranked seventh, and one year ago Tom tied for third in the nation. Last year Tom went to the tournament by himself, but this year he said, “I would really like to be able to take the whole team to the tournament. It is really a neat experience.

In order to make it as a “rotzie” that dedication has got to flow through the veins. Although they put in more time and work harder than many groups or clubs in school, the individuals comprising this group receive very little recognition. They were also the subject of the most razzing, but they took it all in stride. The reason people make fun of us is because we’re different. It doesn’t bother us — we stick together, commented one faithful cadet. “We’re not as clean-cut as people think — we go out and party like everyone else,” said Vince Pedulla. According to most rotzies, this year’s program was much better than last year’s. The discipline is more strict, and we can choose who gets in. We don ' t have to take everyone who signs up,” said Platoon Leader John Labus. This year’s calendar was better also. In the G. Gunther words of Col. Ralph Moody, the calendar was chock-a-block full. The squad participated in a myriad of events, among them the Marine Corps birthday celebration, performances in the Homecoming, Christmas, and Fun ' n Sun parades, and learning experiences such as the helicopter orientation flights at Clearwater Executive Airport. Ninety percent of this year’s seniors on the squad chose to enter the service after graduation. By having had two years of ROTC training, they were promoted to a higher rank when entering the service. It’s a pretty good deal, even though it only amounts to an extra $50 a month,” states one of the seniors. All of the devoted rotzies agree that they wouldn’t be in the group if they didn’t enjoy it. “I love it — it’s a blast. In ninth grade I decided that I wanted to go into the service when I graduated. I’ve really learned a lot, and it ' s kept me in great physical shape,” said John Labus. They’ve got it. The dedication it takes to be a member of the ROTC. Practices are used to smooth out routines.

Theo Karaphillis contemplates his next point of discussion. ▼ Before writing their speeches, debate members had to find the right facts and figures to support their main points. ▼ Close but no cigar By JOANNE FORD NFL. No, not National Football League — but it ' s close. Try National Forensic League. Instead of consisting of jocks, this league consisted of a group of CHS students who participated in weekend speech contests. For members of NFL, weekends were made for this specific purpose. Most people immediately associate debate with NFL, but debating is only one aspect of the competition. Extemporaneous speaking, oratory, interpretation and student congress are all involved. Although the group consists mainly of juniors and seniors, every one is welcome. According to advisor Mr. Andy Anderson, the group’s main goal is an increased awareness and participation in speech activities. Mr. Anderson continued by saying, Clearwater High is one of the few schools that still has a strong speech program, and much of the credit goes to the administration — particularly the principal who recognized the continuing need for speech training. Most of the team’s tournaments were held locally, but the group did travel as far as Tallahassee, West Palm Beach, Miami and Atlanta. One state congress was held in Tallahassee, and six students attended. All six of them — Stephanie Einhaus, Kevin Hayslett, Larry Stevenson, Theo Karaphillis, Penn Dawson, and Ann McCue — did extremely well. The group also managed to win the NFL Award, which is a national award for excellence in speech. 4 Here the officers Stephanie Einhaus, Penn Dawson, Kevin Hayslett, and Theo Karaphillis agree that debating doesn’t always have to be serious. 108 NFL £ Attendance was best when special things were planned. Council members listen intently to plans for the Homecoming Parade. SGA 109 Coming to order By HOLLY ROUB and DON NEUBAUM “This meeting will now come to order,” rang through the halls as another Student Government Association meeting got started. Looking forward to their next endeavor, those in attendance gave motions to the ordained officers. Elections were held at the end of the previous year with familiar faces in t he running. Scott Forseth came up a winner for president, George Skaroulis for vice- president, Amy Peterson for secretary and Karen Desjardin, treasurer. The first thing on the group’s mind clearly was the Homecoming festivities. Sponsoring various activities including Tornado Tales, they did their part in boosting enthusiasm. “This was the best Tornado Tales we ' ve had in a long time. I think it was a great success,” said junior Gaye Anderson. To help the morale around the school, a Hall Spirit Day reappeared, inviting each club to decorate a part of the school. Crepe paper sailed high as students made their way through to their next class. The parade once again passed through downtown Clearwater after a strenuous debate over its route. The Clearwater Times publicized the dispute of whether it should run downtown or simply around the track during Tornado Tales. Readers responded in favor of the downtown march and solved the commotion. Junior Mary Lane agreed by saying, “It should go through the city or else it wouldn ' t be so important. Following the 3 1 - 1 0 victory over Lakewood, students fled into the gym for the Homecoming dance. The group’s donation of over 50 flowers to the court and female half-time performers, also added to the spirit of the occasion. The next important game to raise spirit for was the Clearwater-Largo game. Once again the SGA came to the rescue and sponsored the Largo Pep Rally. This was a great success with the Key Club’s “E-jel-o-cution of teachers as the main event. The football players psyched themselves up and once again “BEAT Keeping control of such a large group of people was trying at times. Scott Forseth and Amy Peterson present some new business. ▼ LARGO.” In addition to the traditional objects of this group, it also was instrumental in reviving the Inter-Club Council. This served as the public relations agent for all clubs. Getting together once every two weeks they told of their various activities. Junior Susie Hause said, It’s important that we are involved with each other and know about each other. It would be even better if all clubs were represented there.” Besides these in school activities, the SGA served as a representative at various School Board hearings. President Scott Forseth says, I feel we have a pretty good amount of influence on the School Board ' s decisions.” With the size of the school and its wide range of activities, an active Student Government is necessary, whether it be for boosting spirit or projecting an overall voice. They thoughtfully planned their projects, carrying them through to the maximum. Obviously, their meetings came to order. B Meyers 110 Fathoms Trying not to forget the forgotten By DON NEUBAUM If you were to ask any student to name the three publications produced at school, most would think of the Clearlight and Aqua Clara without much delay. But what about Fathoms, the forgotten publication. Because it is a limited product with an annual printing, it lacks publicity. By printing two issues, hopefully interest will increase,” said John Peters, Fathoms staffer. For the first time since 1 973, the Fathoms staff will circulate two issues during the sarhe year. A lot of material was submitted but we couldn’t use it all. We may use some of it in the second volume,” said editor Ginny Nemec. Fathoms, along with Clearlight, used A2 as their work room, which caused some minor problems. We had to arrange times with Clearlight to take turns in the use of the room after school,” Ginny said. Penn Dawson, editor of art and graphics, said, Since Fathoms is made up entirely of work submitted by students, it is truly the ‘Paper of the People ' .” As the staff worked through the year, they tried to produce a literary magazine that would interest the entire student body, and achieve their goal to become a publication that will be remembered by everyone. Fathoms staffers took a break from editing stories and art to attend the Florida Scholastic Press Association state convention in Kissimmee in April. Along with Aqua Clara and Clearlight staffers, they competed in contests and attended workshops. Because the number of pages was limited, not all entries could be published. During a fathoms meeting Andy Moore, Ron Cox, Eric Wishnie, and Mark Shovan try to decide whether to keep or scrap a short story. ▼ ± Artwork, as well as literature, was submitted by hopeful students. Staffer Bonnie Lowerie, art editor Penn Dawson and Rob Parajon compare the art submissions. Punching the key to future plans By HOLLY ROUB “What do you want to be when you grow up? When asked this question. Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) Chapter B, better known as the CHS Secs, immediately replied, “A secretary.” Sponsor Mrs. Daphine Cross said, “The purpose of FBLA is to give students an opportunity to compete in local, state and national contests to show their abilities in the business world. It ranges from accounting to typing and parliamentary procedure.” All the people in FBLA were in at least one or two business classes. CHS Secs was a third period class. It was also an opportunity to go to businesses such as the First National Bank. At the bank the Secs saw the bank’s data processing system. They also went to the county courthouse and went through a fake arrest, trial, and were put in jail. They then had a seminar with a court reporter as the speaker. Throughout the year, speakers came in and told about their various jobs. Besides being a class to learn business skills, CHS Secs proved themselves as an active club. Club member Melissa Davis felt, We are a very active club in our school. Last year people didn’t even 4 Carolyn Gilbey tries to walk a straight line to show she hasn’t been “hitting the bottle” on a club field trip to the courthouse. know what FLBA was. Now with our fund- raising activities and float in the Homecoming parade, people know who we are.” They had donut and candy sales, and a car wash to raise money. The money raised went toward state funds. To qualify for state in April, one must have won in the county contest in February. So, as well as helping themselves, CHS Secs were an asset to our school. So if you ask someone here what they want to be later in life and they reply, A secretary,” chances are you ' re talking to a member of the FBLA Chapter B. Car washes are a good way for a club to make money.

A Business is not the only thing on these German clubbers’ minds. Here Glenn DeCosta, Mary Lane, Steve Forseth, and Susan Werthweim “munch out” on fritos. Germans like U. S. food, music By DON NEUBAUM Floridians took so much for granted. The beach, food, and weather were just a few areas in which we “crackers” were more fortunate than the “snowbirds” who migrated to the area each year. But what is Florida like to a student from Germany? The best thing about America is the way of life, food, girls, and its funky music,” said Volker Kusserow, a native of Frankfurt, Germany. They play the same songs on the German radio stations too. Most kids sing along even though they don’t know what they are saying. It takes me a while to understand them,” he continued. Ulli Klien, another exchange student from Germany, found American football fascinating. “It’s new to me and we don ' t have anything like it in Germany.” These were two students who were here in Clearwater all year long. In the spring, 20 more German. students from Marburg came for a three-week stay. Their trip was sponsored by the German Club. The Club screened its members who wished to provide room and board for the Germans. They tried to obtain compatibility between the Germans and their hosts. The club also provided money for social activities during their stay. This money was raised when the student body devoured 4,400 packets of “gummi bears.” At the end of the year, the club members competed in a State German Convention. They also attended the SPI FFS convention at the Bayfront Center. In June, German students returned the favor to their American hosts by sponsoring them in Marburg. Friendships were revived, and gossip was caught up on. Although the activities of the German Club and their Marburg cohorts were fun, most people involved found the exchange experience rewarding. It will not be forgotten for many years. 112 German Club Skills developed early By HOLLY ROUB Success is impossible without well- qualified people. Likewise, success throughout the community could not be achieved without competent leaders. Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) provided the experience for our next generation of leaders.

A lot of them only have one or two classes and then go to work for the rest of the day, related sponsor Miss Clegg Miller. Not only were members of FBLA busy on the job, they were also an active club. They sponsored the March of Dimes Super Walk for the high school. They also gave candy to a nursing home at Thanksgiving. In the midst of planning activities and keeping up jobs, FBLA had district, state FBLA students put many hours into their jobs. Kim Downer spends another day doing miscellaneous jobs for her employer. - and national contests to attend. FBLA had three finalists in the district contest, Shelly Lucas, Lynn Pitts, and Karen Peeples. Anna Francis was also elected president of the 1 2th district of FBLA for the 1980-81 school year. As FBLA students gained experience from their jobs, they were made into leaders. As these people developed their skills the community became assured of being provided with well-qualified leaders.

An average individual going unnoticed, unperceived. All goes undisturbed, uninterrupted until the uncovering of a Nikon FM. “Hams” emerge, posing pretentiously in front of the exposed lens. The job of publication photographers: to present the happenings, avoiding the overpowering show-offs. The cult of photographic individuals converged between the Aqua Clara and the newspaper staff, Clearlight. Their paths rarely crossed, and then only when one was badly in need of the others’ services. Head photographer of Aqua Clara, Glenn Guenther, said, There really wasn’t a chance for us to work together because of the clash of deadlines and quantity of each others work. Professionally we helped each other out and socially we got along.” John Eisler, Clearlight photographer added, “Our individual responsibility is what kept us apart, but our need for each others help united us at deadline.” Because of the guidance of Bryn-Alan studio photographers, there weren’t quite as many rolls of film to run or proof sheets to print. This year, different from past years, a portion of Aqua Clara ' s film was developed by Bryn-Alan, and the “rush-jobs” were developed by the individual photographers. Aqua Clara photographer Marianne Savalli relates, “Although Bryn-Alan processed a lot of our film we still had enough to handle. The film seemed to keep piling up.” The uncovering of an identity, ends the quality of just the right picture. Whenever people started posing, I would just stop shooting and wait until they stopped or else I would just shoot something else,” said Glenn. But wherever there is a camera . . . there has got to be a “ham.” 114 Photographers AThe photographers must be ready day or night to shoot almost anything.

As the gap widened, the image became clearer — a Tornadoettes’s boot. The gap was filled as pom pons came into view. These were only a few of the many props used by the Tornadoettes to prepare for Friday night games. ‘‘It takes me 1 V 2 hours to get ready if I have to put on a wiglet and about one hour if I don’t,” related senior Patty Davis. The Tornadoettes full uniform consisted of boots, panty hose, bloomers, a hoop to fill out their skirts, gloves, and a wiglet. “We have to have our boots polished, our gloves cleaned, and our wiglets set before every game. Our hair must be above our ears, we can’t wear any kind of jewelry, and our jackets must be cleaned for inspection,” said junior Debra Culbertson. Besides the elaborate uniforms worn at football games, the Tornadoettes had J5 c £ CD an additional uniform for basketball games, worn at school on game days. Although these were not as elaborate as their football uniforms, they were equally effective in style and importance of preparation.

Designed by Penn Dawson, these t-shirts gave the Latin leaguers a way to express their opinions openly. The club members and officers decided that an annual car wash at Ken Dunn’s Union 76 station was just the right way to get the year off to a rolling start. The money raised was used to help pay expenses for various activities throughout the year — like the Christmas party, and the steak cook-out on Carlouel beach — both of which had good turnouts. On February 3, the district forum was held in Fort Meyers. District President Penn Dawson led the way to a day full of competition and fun at Fort Meyers High School. Academic competition was only one part of the agenda at districts. Olympic sports such as discus, javelin throwing and chariot races were also included. Later on in the year, the club attended State Forum which was held in Orlando. “It was a lot of fun. All of us just have a good time competing in different areas,” said club president Robin Hampton. Partaking in orations and translations of Cicero took up much of the students’ time. They even participated in a satirical skit of Cicero ' s Orat ion against Cataline. Besides being a mother of many languages, Latin is a mother of fun. m ZL-r The Latin Club: (back row) Joey Glorfield, David Aronoff, Mr. Charles Davis, Robin Hampton, Tom Miller, David Premru, Jason Shower, Karen Wosanin, Janice Zimmerman; (middle row) Lynn Benfield, Lori Doganiero, Frances Lampman, Mindy Shank, Suzanne Piper; (front row) Kellee Kinnear, Gay Lirot, Pam Zancocchio, Patty Rawlins, Sandy Piper, Karen Wacker, Sherry Benham, Debby Pasqualone, Laura Stevenson.

Gerakios Band people: individuals of a different sort By SUSAN HENDERSON Practicing and learning new material is a constant endeavor for band members. Todd Kostacky focuses his attention on a difficult piece. In a sea of bodies and faces, clarinettist Dawn Lipori watches the game. The stadium swells with spectators. Loyal fans hang precariously over the track rail. Whistling and cheering, they exchange greetings and signals with members of the most expressively diversified group around. This group of individuals is known as the band. According to drum major Greg Paulus, “We are spreading out and becoming more and more diversified.” For this ATwirlers Susan Rosenthal gives another unflagging performance during the halftime routine at the Largo game. • ' K 5 4 - Band members, flag twirlers, Tornadoettes, and parents are all looking toward the same goal — excellence. reason, band members seem to be a sample of what makes up the population of our high school. We have our freaks, our jocks and our own brains,” Greg continued. He himself runs cross- country, track, and is a member of the National Honor Society. Being more of a group than a musical unit, the band performs with the earnestness expected, keeping their remote individuality aside. When they are not performing, they show such individual characteristics that you would never categorize them as a band member. Dennis DeNoia explains, We all hang around with each other and have a good time, but we have our other friends who are not in the band too.” Greg adds, After the football games, Band 121 AHours of practice, beside the daily band classes, are required to perfect the pleasing sounds of the band. Drum Major Greg Paulus gets the flute section rolling out the tunes. most of the people in the band go out in groups together but other times we do things with people who aren’t band people.” This is all part of an image. An image that is slowly changing. Band people are no longer looked at as if they were a different species. Instead they are different cliques brought together to form one. As they pass the line of friends they squint to the side, displaying a faint smile. They hold their band image until the fourth quarter is over. Capers begin with the dismissal by Band Director Don Hacker. Individuals scatter, meeting up with their various friends. The image disappears as they head to the nearest gathering.

They became known as The Bud Band” because of their most requested selection, The Theme of Budweiser Beer.” After the usual half time performance, the handful making up the smaller band migrated to the sidelines, remaining there for the rest of the football game and altering the mood of the fans. On into the basketball season, they continued under their actual title. Pep Band. Dennis, also a member of the Bud Band” comments, It is a change and I think more people listen to us. Greg, who choreographs the band’s moves and music, enjoys the recognition. I was thrilled when people came up to me and told me how much they like the ‘Bud Band.’ Actually, I’m not surprised. It may not be equivalent to the sound of Bruce Springsteen or the beat of Led Zeppelin, but it satisfied the need for a more appealing sound. The Bud Band became a creation delivering the delicacy savored by the crowd. Appealing to the stands, it had a reason to be.

Class ring, diploma and spirit hats are just a few of them, y When double sessions became a thing of the past, the student body was no longer separated. Twenty- eight hundred students on campus at the same time, yet each class was different. The freshmen were still wet behind the ears. Many were in awe of the hustle and bustle of high school life. Sophomores, with one year under their belts, became more involved in activities and jobs. Juniors came into prominence with enthusiasm and spirit second to none. Their float won the Homecoming contest, and their class project — selling painter hats — raised spirit as well as revenue. Seniors experienced mixed emotions as the end of the year neared. Graduation, college and the adult life loomed large in their minds. At 7 a.m., four different classes rolled onto campus and converged, no longer apart. — Classes Division 131 Marianne, Joseph, Andrew, and Teri vivaciously roll activities, including the beach, through their first year busily involved in many Freshmen roll through first year By KIM MILLER As usual, the year started out quite normal, almost like clockwork. A naive flock of freshmen came after an experienced stream of seniors left. Upon the arrival of the freshman class, four students experienced in holding an office, presided over their class as officers, under the direction of Mr. Robert Hassall. Officers Joseph Carwise, Teri Clark, Marianne Campbell, and Andrew Billiris held meetings in order to come up with suggestions for fund-raisers. Along with class dues being collected. Tornado license plates were sold in order to raise money for a beautifying the school’ project. “The reason for our involvement with beautifying the school, explained Teri, is that we want to contribute what is lacking. Although the officers did not have as much support as they expected, they continued having bi-monthly meetings in order to come up with additional money- making projects such as car washes and skating parties. Joseph explained, The other students are encouraged to attend the meetings in order to voice their opinions.” All of the officers agreed that the reason they were active on their freshman council was to restore the lost spirit and lack of support of the class of ' 83.

Babysitting was just about the only job available to a majority of the underclassmen. Although Debby enjoys babysitting she debates with herself about how she wants to raise her own children in the far future. ‘‘I see how I acted when I was little, and I don ' t really like it, and since it bothers me, that discourages me about babysitting,” explained Debby. Most underclass high school stud ents feel disadvantaged by their age, a few years short of work permits and full legal rights. Debby explained, “Mostly I babysit for the money and also because it’s hard for me to get a job anywhere else, because of my age. The average pay for babysitting usually runs from about one dollar to two dollars an hour. Most babysitters ask for an extra fifty cents an hour after midnight, but they are not always lucky enough to receive it. Sometimes it seems that the people who I am babysitting for don’t always appreciate my hard work, said Debby. As nearly anyone who babysits knows, babysitting is not all TV watching and eating your employer out of house and home, while the little rascals dream of naughty tricks to pull on you. It’s hard work trying to remain calm as the kids destroy their bedrooms with toys and peanut butter sandwiches. T rying to salvage their room and your own piece of mind seems useless until the parents arrive home and, once again, under pay you. I guess it makes me realize the responsibilities I ' ll have when I’m a mother,” said Debby. She continued, Everyone has had to complete a job of some form or another, so I guess this type of job is where I ' ll gain the most experience that I will need in the future.” Considering that any job one holds will create responsibilities and many experiences, babysitting will make do for the time being, and it will also educate a lot of future mothers. ± Storytime is always fun when Debby reads Ginny, Ian, and Lauri Garriques their before- bedtime fairytales. Staying up late is an extra treat when babysitters are over.

Lori is only one of the five freshmen on the state runner-up varsity volleyball team. “There were only a couple of openings, and since the competition was so stiff, our chances were slim,” Barbara McCauley explained. Those couple of openings gave Valerie George, Amy Griebler, Lisa Williams, along with Lori and Barbara valuable positions on the two-year-old volleyba ll team. Lori and Barbara both claim that they feel like little fish in a big pond after having been starters at Oak Grove Middle School and St. Paul’s, and now playing second string here. Barbara explained, As freshmen we are just on the team for experience because we haven’t really reached our potential. We are treated as equals by the rest of the team and by Coach Ann Balderson.” Lori continued with, “No one ever cuts us down or teases us Andrea Dobson Rachel Dobson Amy Doidge Cathy Domanico Mark Dombroski Kim Don Colleen Dougherty Shelley Driskell Valerie George, Amy Griebler, Lisa Williams, Barbara McCauly, and Lori Rutcha net experience their first year on varsity volleyball.

It’s really neat when your peers ask you if you ' re on the varsity volleyball team,” said Barbara. “I feel that the biggest honor we won from being on the team was going to state competition as freshmen,” Lori explained. Although the team did not win, Barbara said that it was an experience she would never forget. “Our team is just one big happy family,” said Barbara. Lori continued with, “It’s because of Coach Balderson. She keeps the whole team together during the season. I guess that’s because she ' s so close to all of us. All of the girls new to the team agree that Coach Balderson is an excellent coach and the main reason for the team ' s great record. Barbara summed up the attitude of the team: team is not spelled with an “I” . . . it’s working together that makes it all happen. She continued, Next year we’re gonna’ be a whole lot better with a little more experience.” Nick Dritsas Deno Drulias Shelley Drumm Barbara Duke Cheryl Dunlap Laurie Dunn Diane Duquensay Ron Dust Everett Dyer Dale Eckberg Jeannine Ehring Debbie Ellard Monique Ellis Cynthia Ellison Tammy Empolito Mary English Kenneth Etheridge Gwyn Evans Leslie Eversole Danny Farrell Michele Farwell NanGy Fein Keith Felden Steven Finley Gail Flannigan Fred Fleisch John Foley James Folwell Freshmen 137 Anita Fondaw Todd Forcione Laura Ford Kathy Forsyth Joe Foster Rusty Foster Julie Fowler Rick Fowler Mia Frangedis Lisa Frank Jimmy Franklin Scott Frohlich John Friederich Jessica Fuchs Charles Fuetterer Sandy Fugate Travena Gaddy Helen Gallas Denis Garcia Lynn Gates Tammy Gause Andrew Gaylord Greg Geist BobGendron Valerie George Spencer Geren Liz Gibbons Elbert Gilbert Jim Gillman Kathy Glass Marc Glasgow Dawn Glenn Striving to fit in By JANE STEINER For freshmen, life is like the old playground days on the see saw: Last year they were on top and now they’re at the bottom again. On the first day of school, many freshmen got the feeling that they were out of place.” Rene Dee felt like she was “the only one that didn’t know where to go,” especially when she experienced the embarrassment of walking into the wrong classroom. As Rene was walking out she knocked into a huge football player that looked like a bear.” Everyone ' s stares made her feel out of place. Fitting in with the crowd is hard for some, easy for others. Debby Blackham feels that freshmen just want to be accepted by the upperclassmen and go along with the crowd.” She added, This is easier when an older brother or sister helps you get involved.” Many freshmen sometimes feel “shut out” of clubs because they just aren’t old enough. Usherettes, Tornadoettes, and Keyettes are open to juniors and seniors only. Groups like the publication staffs and the Computer Club have pre- requisite courses that must be taken. However, there are clubs in which freshmen can be involved in, such as class officers, chorus, Wrestlerettes, Student Government, and FCA. Once they are accepted, there is the common problem of transportation. To solve this problem they either carpool with other club members or their parents, sisters, or brothers chauffeur them around. Denise Caron sums it up, Everybody is in the same boat, and freshmen can fit in like anyone else if they want to.” 138 Freshmen wr P 0. %i rt u tfl |y( k £3 vri l l b Elaine Glover Linda Gobbeo Theresa Godzich Gerry Golden Christophe Gorges David Gourdine Lisa Grant Maria Grandic Cheryl Green Mark Green Darlene Green Amy Griebler Charles Gross Pete Gueteloe Daniel Gulkis Johanna Gulley Kenzel Hagaman Susan Haley Dave Hall Cliff Hallmark Eric Hambleton Kelan Hammond Steve Hand Debby Hanford Alan Harshman David Hart Julie Hatcher Chris Hawkes Lisa Hawthorne Stacey Hawthorne Lynda Haynes David Heitman ! t r r- f JjU 4 Hall inhabitants are not misfits, but students with no particular involvements.

Striving for that extra point to achieve that free game is Ken Johnson’s goal as he faces the anticipation of winning over that “silverball” and the dreaded drain, y The magical, musical “silverball” has come a long way since its crude beginnings in the 1 940s. The game has made a miraculous comeback in the last few years, probably due to new mechanical advancements. Other things have also contributed to the pinball craze. The movies. Tommy from which Elton John’s hit song “The Pinball Wizard came and Tilt certainly boosted this new found popularity. Pinball, as we know it, means machines which stand about three and one half feet tall and exert different tones, beeps, buzzes and bells to let the player know how he is doing. Depending on the game, 25sz! could buy one player one game or for 50 0, one could challenge his favorite enemy or friend. Although every player has his own unique “sure to win” playing technique, they seem to be alike in a few ways. For instance most players start off standing slightly slumped with a hand on each of the flipper buttons. As the game progresses he may begin to jump up and down, screaming and hollering, throwing a little hip into it, and pushing and shoving. Very often this results in a loud buzzz while bells and lights flash TILT”. Clearwater residents, young and old alike, polished their pinball performance at The Wacky Wharf in Clearwater Mall. Others were coaxed and summoned by garishly painted and brightly lit machines hidden in corners of Godfathers, 7-Elevens and other area stores. Pinball has also changed its image in that now the background paintings depict disco couples instead of caged go- go girls. Today’s pinball players have an array of games to play, influenced by heroes, rock stars, movies and sports. Along with the pinball popularity, came hand held electronic games. Video games also hit the market with a bang. Limitless games which not only tested one’s reflexes but also one’s mental ability were Atari and Odyssey. For the small, but inflated price of 25 0 an entertaining moment with the silverball can be yours, complete with flashing lights, stereo bells and buzzes. 140 Freshmen Kim Henry Scott Heushkel Freddie Hinson Joe Hitch Michele Hoffman Doug Hohimer Bruce Holden Tammy Honaker Valerie Hornbeck Yvonne Howard Daniel Hubbard Wendy Hubbard Todd Hunt Bill Husni Mana Husni Colleen Hynds Scott Ingram William Ireland Dwight Irwin Roy Jackson Jeff Jalbert Rene James James Jehs Lisa Jensen Janice Jeup Keith Johnson Darryl Jones Kim Jones Marty Jones Richard Jones Renee Jones Vincent Jones Terri Jurgens Tom Kane Doug Karlau Shelly Kanelak Stephanie Katz Jamie Keenan Philip Kelley Lisa Kelly Kevin Kennedy Jamie Keyser Laura King Rosemary King Gregory Kirkland Jerome Kirkland Steve Klein Erich Klopfer Tim Knight Karl Koch Vicky Koch Suzanne Kocsis Georgia Kossivas Lori Kostacky Kristin Kran Jeffrey Krier Freshmen 141 Bearing the ‘‘tracks By JANE STEINER The tightening of wires, the names like metal mouth” and “tin grin, the loose brackets, and the monthly office visits. All of these things can be described in one word, braces. When somebody has their hand over their mouth, the first thought that comes to mind is that they have just coug hed or yawned. The second thought that comes to mind is that this person is extremely tired, so they are learning on their hand for support. But then you remember that they wear braces and the great effort put forth to keep their mouth covered is remarkable. The mandatory X-rays and impressions are taken at the first office visit. Liz Tong explained that “they stuck some pink, gooey, icky tasting stuff in my mouth. After the braces were Liz Tong and Renie Aikens grin their way through the week and of course on the weekends remembering their motto: “braces are beautiful. applied, deciding what to eat was not necessarily an easy decision. “The orthodontist told me not to eat candy, like tootsie rolls, and when I did he found some of it stuck to my braces,” said Renie Aikens. Many students tried to do the impossible which was talking without opening their mouth. All of their words “mumble-jumbled together and it sounded almost like a foreign language. There happened to be interpreters to translate this brace talk.” They were fellow brace-wearers. As the date approached for school pictures, the frowning faces appeared. The photographer tried to make these faces smile, but he failed to because these students didn’t want anyone to know they wore braces. So it proved that the tortuous wire tightenings and rubber bands paid off with straight, appealing teeth. Shortly after the extraction of the dreaded monstrosities, great big grins and white teeth emerged. Once again food tasted non-metalic.

Much of this success can be attributed to Clearwater For Youth. Clearwater For Youth is an organization to build athletic abilities at a young age. It is also an activity that the kids can be proud of. When kids feel a part of a competitive team, they develop leadership capabilities. It gives the kids something to do so they don’t feel neglected,” said Judge Tom Penick, a former instructor. The competition is very tough,” said David Moore, who is a Clearwater For Youth basketball player. The coaches are experienced at what they do. Clearwater For Youth is a well- organized youth program,” said Derek McKeil a friend a David’s, and is also involved in CFY. The age groups vary from eight to sixteen. Some activities that kids can be involved in are wrestling, gymnastics, soccer, football, and cheerleading. A great contribution to the success of varsity sports can be attributed to the existence of Clearwater For Youth.

It gives a feeling of knowing you’re doing something really helpful and greatly appreciated. Almost anyone 1 4 or older can volunteer. A male participant is called a teenage hospital volunteer, instead of candystriper, a name reflective of their distinctive red and white striped uniforms. The only requirement is a desire to help others and a dedication to accept a large responsibility. At Morton Plant Hospital candy stripers’ duties ranged from working with the patients to filing lab reports. They worked in the X-ray department, pharmacy, and even the micro-biology lab. ‘‘I worked in physical therapy, helping patients use the parts of their bodies which they were once unable to use,” said Linda Moser, a CHS freshman who works at Clearwater Community Hospital. Many who go on into nursing or medicine loved the program for its value as career preparation. “One of the reasons I am a candystriper is because I ' m thinking about becoming a nurse,” said Lee Alan, also a freshman. Why do people donate all this time when they don ' t receive anything ◄Many extra hours are spent by Linda and Lee at their respective hospitals doing volunteer work. 146 Freshmen Laura Scarberry Jim Schew Kim Schlesman Amy Scott Scott Seelig Kimberly Seither Carla Shano Robert Shaw Kim Shields Frederick Shoaff Kim Sinclair Nick Sloan Valerie Sloan Larry Sly Earl Smith Julie Smith Kathy Smith Lisa Smith Richie Soehner Lori Solenberger Dianne Soto Paul Soulis Diana Southern Wayne Souza Paul Spenard Ralph Spencer Patricia Spires Patti Staley Laura Stasek Trina Steele Annette Stefanadis Kelly Stewart Lee Stewart Steven Stickler Mike Stonelake Gene Strawder Robert Stuerman Maryann Sullivan Leonard Sumner Dana Tassone material in return?

At Clearwater Community Hospital were another six candystripers: Dawn Felice, Melanie Felice, Suzanne Finstein, Patty Lyon, Beth Newitt, and Pam Zancocchio, all of whom concentrated on helping others.

Ice skating?! Don’t you know this is Florida? Located in the middle of Countryside Mall is one of the few ice skating rinks in the state. People of all ages flock to Centre Ice on weekdays — sustaining the gaping stares of curious shoppers. For the more timid skater who does not want to be viewed by 50 pairs of eyes, the rink also has late skates from 1 0:00 p.m. until midnight. Ice skating is actually supposed to be easier than roller skating — the skates are lighter and there is just one blade. That single solitary blade is the only element standing between the skater and a cold, wet floor. According to one skater, it isn ' t that hard to maintain your balance. It all depends on how you lace your skates. You have to lace them really tight or else your ankles will wobble, and you’ll end up skating on the sides of your feet.” Ice skating became something new for southerners to try, along with providing familiar surroundings for displaced northerners. I thought my ice skating days were over when I moved to Florida, so I was glad to find Centre Ice,” said former Canadian Blake Owens, senior. Centre Ice provided good music and a relaxing atmosphere for people of all ages at virtually any time of the day and CHS skaters of all degrees of expertise could be found there all during the week For them, it was no rinky-dink activity.

They made a fine appearance at Tornado Tales with their humorous skit depicting the Tornado victory over the Lakewood Spartans. Headed by President Bethe Ledbetter the sophomore class was not one of the most active but they did make their mark one of Bethe ' s major complaints was that “the sophomore class needs more enthusiasm and more people to come to the meetings.” Some of the projects planned by the council were painting the posts along the malls. They also planned to have some fund raising projects in order to have dances and other extra-curricular activities. The only problem with this, was that it was difficult to have parties after school hours. Bethe hopes that the situation will change next year. Along with supportive, hard-working officers like Vice-President Mike Pryor, Treasurer Andy Shaw and Secretary Leah Jenkins, not to mention Mrs. Stella Whitman, class adviser, the sophomore class has definitely left its mark. 1 56 Sophomores Cindy Adams Jenny Adams Michele Alberts Marta Alcoz Melissa Alford Gail Allen Gene Allen Evelio Alvarez Jeff Anderson Lori Argianas Kellie Arndt Lisa Arritt Cindy Baker Jean Baker John Baker Stephanie Baker Tom Baker Sharon Banyas Bridget Barber Charlene Barcenas Sandy Barratt David Bartrop Adina Baseman Bob Bass Irving Batten David Bauer Heidi Becker Dave Beinhorn Russell Bell Andre Belloise Lynn Benfield Anthony Benitez Michael Bennett Lori Bernsee Michele Biron Gerald Blume Karleen Bohlmann Bret Bolden Lora Boozer John Bosker Luann Bourne Laurie Bouse Denise Bowman Adrienne Boykins Kaylyn Braaksma Beth Bradley Angela Braeseker Erin Brasfield Bruce Braswell Earl Breece Karen Breslo David Brett Rob Brinson Robert Broadwell Bob Brown Donna Brown Sophomores 1 57 Jennifer Brown John Brown Susan Brown Heather Brunner Judy Bryant Linda Bryant Tom Buehler Patty Burgan Kathleen Burns Robin Burwell Cindy Cable Annie Callaghan Greg Calley Jennifer Calvert Jane Cantino Linda Capabianco Kevin Caple Cathi Cardin Linda Carlone Eddie Carlson Kathy Carlson Randy Carlson Laurie Carnahan James Carpenter Anita Carrieri Dan Case Jay Case Chris Cave Not many people can turn a corner and find his image standing in front of himself.

They are not subjects easily discussed with anyone, and definitely something that needs a correct and proper approach. One service a student can turn to is T.I.P.S. (Teenage Information Program For Students). Plain talk about relationships.” That’s the T.I.P.S. motto. T.I.P.S. operates on six values put forth by author Eric W. Johnson: responsibility, control, consideration, self respect, communication, and information. They believe that these values may serve as a guide in the making of important life decisions, and also to make up your own set of values. TIPS services include a specially trained social worker that will talk to you in private about such concerns as important personal relationships, situations of pregnancies, and venereal disease. But most important of all, it’s a place you can go to and talk about your special needs as a teenager. The people there are trained to give support to anyone who is feeling the pressures of dating relationships. There are four different groups. One for male teenage parents, one for female teenage parents, one for pregnant girls, and also one for those who are looking for information that helps with responsibility. There is also a social worker available who will speak to various classes or groups upon the request of a teacher or advisor. The TIPS counselor for CHS was Claudis Smith. She was available during regular school hours, or in emergencies one could call on a hotline (896-7101). TIPS is sponsored by the Student Services Department of the Pinellas County Schools, School Social Work Section. They are there to help.

She had the potential, and Penny worked extra hard with Donna to keep her going. After 1 20 trophies and medals to show for her work, Donna twirled before band director Don Hacker.

There was a time when Donna was bored with twirling but now she says, “When you’re serious about baton, it’s your life!” Debbie Fischer is another one who has been twirling anything symbolizing a baton since she was nine. When she was younger, Debbie waited until the halftime shows of college football games to watch the majorettes perform. Encouraged by her mother, Debbie began taking private lessons from U.S.T.A., United States Twirling Association, and has continued with her lessons even after moving to Florida three years ago. She is very proud of her accomplishments and winning the Ohio U.S.T.A. State Intermediate Champions at the ages of eleven and twelve. “I love it — you learn something new every day!” Debbie muttered breathlessly after a Wednesday night practice with the band. The girls’ feeling about marching with the band and in parades was mutual. Donna expresses it as being a natural high.” Practice. It is an everyday word to Donna and Debbie. One hour after school and three hours on Wednesday nights is just the beginning. Free time is not too often found in the life of a majorette. Summer is devoted to spending time at twirling camp, at Eckerd College, and with the Tornado band working on the halftime show. The marching and the hours of practice. Are they worth it? To Donna and Debbie they are. And since both girls have scholarships in mind, they’ll just keep on twirlin’! 1 62 Sophomores - 164 Sophomores Carole Henry Kent Hetrick Brad Hieneman Catherine Hill Gary Hillman Liz Hitchcock Connie Hite Beverly Hobden Jamey Hodgson Nathalie Holda Kim Holsombeck Becky Holt Amelia Horne Chad Horne Dan Huber Jeff Hughes Paul Hughes Stacie Hunt Barbara Huntoon Kelley Huseby Jimmie Ingram Suzanne Jackson Sonia James Kim Jarvis Leah Jenkins Sherrie Jennings Jacquelyn Jensen Frederick Johnson Greg Johnson Joan Johnson Judy Johnson Tim Johnson Cydney Jones Donna Jones Elizabeth Jones Hassan Jones Karen Joyce Lisa Kallai Harry Katica Carol Keenen Cheryl Keller Gary Kesling Leslie Klein Ulrich Klein Quinton Knight Robin Knight Keith Knutsson Jeanne Kohnken Kim Kostreba Steve Koulouvaris Kelie Kroitzsch Lisa Krause Jason Kuehn Guy Kunnen Nicole Kunz Kelli Lambert An art tuned by practice By SUSAN McDANIEL Singing — most people don ' t think of it as an art, or even something that requires special coaching. But just ask anyone that is in the girls Pop Ensemble and they will quickly correct you. “A lot of people are in chorus for an easy ‘A’, but it’s not! exclaimed Leah Jenkins. The girls Pop Ensemble, directed by Miss Ann Mickunas, devotes a great deal of time and effort into the song and dance routines that they perform. It took many afternoons dancing and singing to perfect their performances. “Our group has to work for our grades, it’s not an easy class. We also have to perform in front of our peers so we work extra hard, said Adina Baseman. Adina is used to performing in front of people. She has been in several Clearwater City Players plays, including H.M.S. Pinafore. She is very involved with her youth group at Temple B ' nai Israel. Adina incorporates her music a lot with her activities at youth group. She also is a songleader for the younger children. Adina has written songs that have won contests. Leah also has musical interests outside of school. She has taken piano for 5 years, in fact, that is how she began in chorus. After Leah accompanied the JFK middle school chorus on the piano, she too began to sing. For two years she has taught piano. Leah enjoys playing contemporary music such as Still by the Commodores. “Music has always been, and always will be a big part of my life,” stated Leah. These are just two of the many gifted people in the choral department of CHS. They helped bring joy and good feelings to many people. At first glance, singing doesn ' t always appear to be an art. But look again . . . the coaching, the practice and the time are what makes singing an art. c XJ Adina Baseman and Leah Jenkins finger out their m next musical endeavor.

If someone made a dumb move, they were the object of intense jeering. But what about sophomore Maureen Deegan and senior Robin Alsobrook? These two girls really are “fools” — but in a different sense of the word. Maureen and Robin are “Fools for Jesus.” “A Fool for Jesus is not necessarily a Jesus freak,” said Maureen. “We’re members of a charismatic group from the Spirit of God community.” 4 Keep on smilin, even after a very tiring performance. Two Fools Maureen Deegan and Robin Alsobrook prove this statement true. 1 66 Sophomores Laurie McDermott Kim McEuen Beth McGowan Bruce McGowan Dennis McHale Kathy Mclnnis Derek McKeel Mea McManus Brett McMullen Scott Meeks Lisa Mehelich Colette Meilleur Mike Mikuliza Aaron Miller Alice Miller Diane Miller Kim Miller Madeline Miller Scott Miller Tom Miller Hillary Misler Algie Mitchell Liz Mock Joe Molnar Leslie Moninger David Moore Todd Moore Tom Moore Ronald Motan Hillary Mucha Stephan Muldrow Janet Muller The so-called fools practice once a week for an hour and a half under the direction of Miss Judy Kooshin. The group takes parables from the Bible, and makes them as simple as possible, and acts them out without speaking. The group tries to relate to teens through everyday experiences. Why are they called fools? Because we dress up and wear clown make-up,” said Robin, a one year member. We’ll perform for anyone who asks us to. We don’t charge them anything, but sometimes we get donations.” They use the donations to help pay for the make-up. Maureen and Robin really like what they do. “We work hard, but I really enjoy it,” said Robin. It’s good experience for getting up in front of people.” It gives a lot of opportunities and brings out talent. Last year the group performed at a charismatic conference which about 4,000 people attended. Robin said she was “really nervous,” but the performance went well. The skits that they perform before audiences are not foolish. They are just the opposite. You see it is only the costumes that appear foolish.

After a one year break of broadcasting CHS basketball and football games, WTAN is now taking up where they left off. According to Bob Clark, the assistant general manager of the radio station and a Clearwater High alumnus, We would never have stopped commentating the games, except the athletic committee made up of principals and such claimed that we were drawing some of their attendance from the games.” WTAN immediately stopped. After a year the attendance records were checked, and the count had remained the same. Tending the microphone in the pressbox for football was Al Conover, former head football coach at Rice University. As for basketball, seven-year veteran broadcaster Jerry Binkley called the action from the upper tier Tornado gym. Leaving off when the basketball season ended, WTAN (Sunshine 1340) once again became the voice of the Tornadoes.

But when a real gun, a whistle, a badge, and a uniform is handed to a fourteen to eighteen year old, they become a Police Explorer. Police Explorers is a youth group consisting of both guys and girls who voluntarily work as a service organization for the community. They file into the police station every Monday night for their meeting, lecture, inspection, film and test. After the class session they discuss the schedule for the upcoming week. The explorers aid at any civic organization such as the Christmas Parade. ‘‘At the age of 1 6 you are allowed to ride with a police officer once a week. You also have the opportunity to use a gun at target practice,” said Explorer Dan Simmons, a junior. Different groups throughout the county “get together for fun.” They have intermural sports and mini-competitions to prepare for state competition held in May. They also collect food and toys for 50 needy families during Christmas. Being a Police Explorer gives exposure to many fields related to law. Sophomore Jeanne Eberhard feels that being a Police Explorer “enhances my chances of becoming a police officer in the future.” If, however, the idea of becoming a police officer doesn’t suit you, there is always the possibility of going into criminal justice. Perhaps the best reason why anyone would be interested in being a Police Explorer is stated by Sophomore Larry Wellman when he said, “All of us are here because we care.” Maybe someday these students will trade in their Police Explorer equipment for the tools of a professional lawman. ■4 Discussing the events of the past evening’s meeting are Larry Wellman, Jeanne Eberhard and Dan Simmons.

The funny guys and gals who cut up constantly are teacher ' s nightmares. Teachers can only take the interruptions, snide remarks, and general distractions for so long. The unfortunate student more than likely ends up with a referral to the dean’s office. That is where the Time Out Room comes into the picture. This room is part of the positive alternative to the Student Suspension Program. The goal of the Time-Out room is to find the reason that the student feels he or she must disrupt. Then the “facilitative listener and the student agree on a plan of action that will alleviate the problem between student and teacher. Clearwater High School has a very efficient Time Out room program. Under the direction of Coach Sam Roper, the room has been very beneficial. “The Time Out room is not only for bad kids. People who may have a very personal problem and need someone to listen to them benefit from this service also, stated Coach Roper. The basic procedure is simple. When a student is sent to this room they may be too upset to discuss their problems or feelings at that particular time, so they are given an information sheet to fill out. By the time they are finished with that they are usually more objective. The student then makes a plan of action that will lead to more productive behavior. We don’t try to change the person in one hour,” said Coach Roper. I feel the Time Out room is getting better each year. I have been here for two years and really like it. There are Time Out rooms in eleven schools around the county. They are solving many student-teacher problems, and helping to make school a more enjoyable place. 172 Sophomores 5 -4 Part of the procedure of the Time Out | room is filling out an information form when o you first arrive and are upset about o something.

Approximately 3,000 people attended on December 2, 1979. ▼ Wendy Wilcoxon Steven Wilensky Mark Wilkinson Rick Wilkinson Andrea Williams m Q u 2 They came in 1 975, mysterious omnipresent people. They marched back and forth from the Fort Harrison Hotel to the Old Bank of Clearwater, like little robots programmed to complete their missions. Then the buying began — Sand Castle Inn, West Coast Building, Heart of Clearwater, Plasma Center, and Ouality Inn on U.S. 1 9. This list of ever-growing purchases became a major concern for the people of Clearwater. It is because the Scientologists classify themselves as a church that there is an adverse effect on the people of Clearwater. Every time the Scientologists buy a building it raises the people ' s taxes because churches don’t pay taxes. This was a big issue around town, and it bothered many people. Jennie Wilson Karen Wimpee Keven Wishard Lee Wisniewski Karen Wolanin Vicki Wolfe Evelyn Woods Debra Worden Brad Wright David Yankay Stacey Young Brett Younger Pamela Zancocchio Thomas Ziel Glenn Zimmerman Doreen Zuern Anne Williams Dorothy Williams Erin Williams Lynn Williams During the rally at the Fort Harrison both sides viewed the commotion differently. The Scientologists labeled the gathering a circus. One such person was CHS senior, John Sabin, a self-proclaimed radical. He strongly objected to the whole organization, but his main objection was with taxes. So he called a group of friends together and staged a protest march. They made the local news and brought a lot of attention to the situation. “They were very polite and invited us in, but only two of us went in, said John Sabin. One of the two was John. “They mostly talked to us about their religion. We were also given a tour. They were very hospitable in an off-standish sort of way,” said John. Spokeswoman for the church, Nancy Reitze, said the kids were uninformed and they were invited in to talk and given a tour of the building. “The point is whenever you have a new religion, it’s always attacked from infancy,” said Miss Reitze. They are still here in 1 980. For five years they have been marching, buying, and expanding. There is no sign that they will leave anytime soon, or that they will pay their taxes. But the people of Clearwater are concerned and they will fight against what they do not want.

Three down and one to go By DEBBIE BUCKMAN The Junior Class motto was in the minds of many: Three years down and one to go. Many things made the ' 79- ' 80 year very different for juniors. These things included early hours, crowded conditions and for the first and last time ever, being a junior in high school. The Junior Class, which was composed of about 700 students, was under the leadership of four officers: Brent Sowell, president; Bob Polukoff, vice-president; Tasia Kossivas, secretary; and Holly Roub, treasurer. The adviser for the Junior Class was Mrs. Sue Furney. The officers held meetings every other Wednesday to discuss past events and future plans. 182 Juniors The Class of ’81 was very active in Homecoming this year. They created the first-place float which was composed of a big tornado and a pack of cigarettes, in keeping with the theme “Smoke the Spartans.” They also arrived at school at 4 a.m. to decorate a hallway. For the Clearwater vs. Largo pep rally, Renee Boivin, Johness Sims and George Skaroulis acted out a scene from Saturday Night Live. To raise money for Prom, the junior class officers sold spirit hats. We sold about 500 hats, totaling almost $700,” said President Brent Sowell. The junior class had many new obstacles to overcome but they did their best to make everything work out. They made the year a great one for everyone.

This would be junior Bruce Melanson, one of the football athletic managers. An athletic manager has many important responsibilities on the football team. He must make sure all the equipment is ready for the game. This includes checking uniforms, helmets, footballs, and preparing the locker room for the visiting team. Another one of his many duties is that of preparing the headsets which connect the coaches on the field with the people in the pressbox. Down on the field during the game, all the players and coaches are very busy. Bruce is busy also. He must run back 184 Juniors Mary Rose Carrano Mark Carreras Stacey Carruth John Carson Nancy Case Karen Cashon Lisa Casner Holly Cass Dania Castro Kim Chafin Jeff Chamberlin Jenni Chandler Martina Charles Stacy Chayet Susan Chervitz Deanna Childers James Childers Steve Cicero Pam Cole Dennis Coley Brian Collard Cathy Collins Micheal Collins Alexis Colman and forth on the sidelines making sure everything is running smoothly. He is the coaches ' assistant, and he does everything that no one else has the time or the know-how to do. He also helps to keep up the morale of the football players. Bruce is very interested in all aspects of football. Although he was too small to actually become a football player, he really wanted to be part of the team. Since I ' m not big enough to play football, this is the only way I can help the team,” said Bruce. It feels great to be part of one of the best football teams in Florida. Bruce has dedicated two years to helping the team. In this time he has earned the respect of both the team and the coaches. Being a manager for the team makes me feel very proud,” said Bruce. He plans to continue his service throughout his senior year. An athletic manager may not seem like an important job, but the team probably couldn’t get along without him. He is one of the biggest assets to the team,” said assistant football coach, Rick Wager. So next time you’re watching a football game, look for the small person with the big job — the athletic manager. The team couldn’t get along without him. Performing one of his many duties, Bruce Melanson fixes a helmet for Steve Griffin. Juniors 185 Health craze sweeps country By JOANNE FORD Shoes, shirt, shorts. Bending, stretching, an all-out warm-up. Out on the streets, through parks and anywhere else it was possible, people were running. It was all a part of a health craze that swept the country and campus. When December rolled around it seemed like everyone was out for track. Novice runners were hobbling around school with sore muscles and tired, blistered feet. Why? All because it was the thing to do. Running was “in. Along with running came a boom in racquetball. Students could be overheard talking about how hot” the courts were the night before. Coach Prokes and Mr. James McClellan were only two of the -4 Teresa Acosta runs through the rain.

This was yet another surge that could be attributed to the health craze. For many, this change in activities was accompanied by a new diet. The usual M Ms, chips, and Coca — Cola were replaced by natural foods like seeds, granola and orange juice. Yogurt was another popular lunchtime item. Health Foods did their part to contribute to the new craze. Besides putting themselves out physically, these so-called healthy people put out a lot of money. Runners bought new Nikes, special shorts, and whatever else would contribute to the runner image. Renting courts or becoming a member of a racquetball club was also a costly experience. And health foods weren’t categorized as cheap. Pain, sore muscles and money. Runners filled side streets and racquetball courts were filled with newly converted players. Instead of being lonely, cashiers in health foods stores were kept constantly busy. Everyone was spending money to keep fit. The craze had only just begun.

The variety and spectrum of the jobs these students hold range from golf course maintenance to bagging groceries. Most seek jobs for one main reason, money. Yet many individuals seemed to enjoy their jobs and tasks regardless. Frank Brieshorn, a junior, worked at the Innisbrook Country Club. Frank was on the ground maintenance crew, and spent a minimum of 25 hours a week with his work. Frank said that he liked to work, especially on a golf course. The only drawback was that between his job, home chores, and school activities, his only recreational time was on weekends. Mike Berginc, also a junior, was a crew person at McDonalds. How did having a job affect his school performance? “Hardly if at all,” answered Mike. I like my job. I didn’t have to work, but I enjoy Karen Franklin Diane Free Bob Frey Mary Friederich Cindy Fuhrman Richard Gale Suzanne Gale Gail Gallant 188 Juniors jobs mean money Asimo Gallas Sandy Gallay Valerie G’Ardoneau Brad Garey it. I wanted some extra money and some more responsibility.” Marian Roski also worked at McDonalds. She feels the same way as Mike. I love to work. The money comes in really handy,” said Marian. Another junior, Aldo Yoannon, worked at the Red Lobster Restaurant. “I wash dishes there,” said Aldo. “It’s all right; Pm going to be a cook soon. I needed the money, but it’s hard to do your homework or study.” Many more students like these were working. Their jobs gave them a sense of responsibility — ingredients that prepare them for life after high school. Not to mention the most important fact — the money earned at work and spent during free time. That is if there was any left over. Working part-time at McDonald’s, Marian Roski rings up the result of a Big Mac attack.

A few students who are now juniors like Kim, plan to skip their senior year in high school. This is a fairly new process and not everyone can participate in it. It does, however, eliminate a lot of busy work doled out to seniors during their last year of high school. Many careers do not require the classes that students are required to take during their senior year. Why would a camp director or an actress need to know all of the concepts taught in Math V or Biology II? Many occupations can only be learned through experience or through classes taught in college. In Sandy Gallay’s class, after taking Drama I and II, there are no other classes she can take here to prepare for the theatre. “I feel to become an actress, one must know their craft, and I need that experience and knowledge,” said Sandy. It is a big step to go from living at home with parents, to going out to college and being on your own. Eventually everyone goes out on their own, but sometimes an extra year at home helps students who don’t know what to do with their lives, an extra year in high school is beneficial The person who graduates early must be mature and intelligent in order to handle college level work. A good sense of mental awareness is also needed. What about never being a “senior” in high school? “I don’t think I’ll be missing out on anything because I ' m really not into school activities,” said Sandy, “the Kevin Hammond Micheal Hampton Kathy Hancock Mary Harrison Micheal Hart Teresa Hart Becca Hartley Bruce Hartmier Susie Hause Robert Haver Chris Hazel Kris Henry Debbie Hepp Lynda Hershfelt Brad Hester Darleen Higgins Patti Higgs Lisa Hively Beth Hoey Lynn Hoffman Kristen Hornbuckle Dolores Horvath Donna Householder Carol Hove Denise Howard Della Hudson Tammy Hughes Scott Hugney 190 Juniors ' r only thing I might regret is not attending the graduation ceremony. For the students who are graduating early, their futures are more important than attending senior activities. I have already participated in most of them, like Grad Niteand prom,” said Kim. Most of the graduating seniors have things planned for the coming years. They feel that graduating early will be a great advantage to them. As Sandy Gallay sums it up, I need to better myself and feel that what I’m doing is worth something, but while I’m here I feel stagnant. I need to get out on my own and become my own person.

Suzette Poskar, a junior, won the Miss Florida Teenager Pageant for the Clearwater area. From here she goes to Lehigh Acres for the state competition in March. Suzette is a petite, vivacious blond and a graduate of John Robert Powers modeling school. “I really like to model, but I could never be a high fashion model because I’m only 5 ' 3 and to be a hi gh fashion model you have to be at least 5 ' 8 . This summer I plan to attend some more John Robert Powers courses in Minnesota. They have a great modeling school there,” said Suzette. The girls in the pageant are judged by their leadership, poise, personality, appearance, participation in community services, scholastic achievement, and on writing an essay based on the good aspects of America. Suzette claims that the pageant is ‘‘good experience for everybody. You make a lot of new friends. It was scary the first time I was in a pageant, but I feel very confident this year.” Suzette is also part of the Adopt a Grandparent program. Suzette says it (the nursing home) is a depressing place the first couple of times you go there, but you have to make it fun. The whole idea of the program is to go out and visit people. During the holiday season, Suzette works as a Santa ' s helper at Clearwater Mall. ‘‘I love to watch the expression on the kids faces when they see me or Santa,” said Suzette. Her future plans include some form of social work. Although most girls don’t even get the opportunity to make their dreams of winning a beauty pageant come true, Suzette Poskar did, and she’s making the most of them. 192 Juniors Joe Magilligan Susan Mallett William Maness John Mangrum Dan Marek Andrew Maridon Daniel Marquis Paul Mars • = Melinda Martin Stephanie Martin Kolleen Mason Melody Mason Tammy Matheny Cathy Matos Elaine Mavroyianis Colleen Mayer David Mayhew Eleanor Maynard Luana Mazzilli Billy McArdle Jackie McClamma John McClellan Diane McClelland Konard McCree Ann McCue John McEldowney Suzan McGee Louie McKean Chris McKeon Dean McLemore Melinda McManus Tom McMullen -4 Suzette Poskar, 1 6, competed in March in the state finals of the national teenager pageant.

For some it is a challenging sport, for others it is a serious career. Peggy Bellendorf said, I will continue to ride for the rest of my life if possible. I plan on having my own riding stables. Horseback riding is a hobby for Gisele Wotherspoon. “It’s a great way to spend a day, she said, and many others agree. Not everyone can own a horse. Most people, like Gaye Anderson, rent horses. Owning a horse however, takes strong will and dedication. The long hours of practice sometimes show little reward. There are many days when horse and rider don’t work together. On such days, sometimes the only satisfaction is the horse ' s when he throws his rider to the ground. “It’s like any other competitive sport, you have days that are good and days that are bad. You just have to grin and bear it,” stated Peggy. Luckily these days are few. During most practices 194 Juniors I ( their perfection perfection takes over, and horse and rider become one. But the real challenge comes at the horse shows, where the skills of both horse and rider are tested. Two popular types of riding are Western and English. Gisele uses Western style. “My favorite event is Western Pleasure, said Gisele. Western Pleasure involves performing maneuvers at the judges’ command. On the other hand, Peggy rides English events are dressage, cross-country, and show jumping. Dressage is a series of maneuvers performed from memory, while cross country events involve a course of natural obstacles including ditches, hedges, and various rustic jumps. Yes, it is hard work, it takes time and it can be very aggravating. But there is much more to it. It’s invigorating, it makes you feel great, and winning that blue ribbon makes it all worthwhile. J.

Driving. The distinct method of getting oneself around.” No hassles of picking up and dropping off. The responsibility is left all to oneself. The anticipation of a coveted key to freedom — a driver ' s license — grows. Then the realization of the preliminary happenings appears. The first step — passing the driver’s exam. With nerves standing on end, the victim enters any of the driving test centers to assume the role of the guinea pig. Long lines congest the suffocated room, as the progression moves at a snail ' s pace. When the call of a number makes its way through the assemblage, eyes turn toward the holder who waits with sweaty palms; relief at last until the inevitable match-up catches up. As knees strain to support the frail body, eyes meet to confirm the origin of the call.

Waiting proves to be the basis of the entire experience. Car hood seating is the only place for relaxation for the long delay. When the examiner finally comes, clip board in hand, the neurotic nervousness returns and the real drama begins. The victim sits upright in the drivers seat, making sure all preliminary precautions are taken, as the episode becomes a nightmare. Actions are examined under the steady gaze of a hawk’s eye. At the sound of the starting engine, the family car becomes the object of a mission impossible. Fingers freeze to the tempo of the gravel road. Left turn. Right turn. Stop. Go. Reverse. Parallel park and three-point turn. Do it right or pay the price. At the arrival of the long awaited parked position, relief from the dramatic episode finally comes. When the decision turns final with the award of a pictured, descriptive identifying card, the trauma seems less dramatic. The tall tales fade from memory.

It’s a word that describes the goal of the people in the program of the same name. For those former drug abusers and their families it’s a word filled with hope and strength and promise and good feelings and positive self concepts. For freaks, druggies and dropouts (“pull-offs,” they call them) it’s a hated word, a synonym for “enemy.” Now several years old, the rehabilitation program is an outgrowth of the earlier and more controversial “Seed” program that achieved a degree of notoriety in the early seventies for some of its techniques and financial practices. Some of the continued techniques are still upsetting to some, even though the results are lauded by families and friends of those who have had their lives turned around — saved, the participants say. Removed from their school, home, and street” environments, the kids on the program live in foster homes” of cooperating parents of “oldcomers,” while they are not actually at the Straight, Inc. building at 5000 Park St., St. Petersburg. As they progress through five phases, participants spend hundreds of hours rapping with each other and staff members ( graduates” of the program who have had special counseling training, many of whom are as young or even younger than the program participants). They talk about their real individual feelings, values, motivations and actions. Mark (not his real name) is a typical Straight kid who has progressed far enough to return to classes at CHS. He is proud of the way he has changed his life and of the program that helped him do it. He has been on speaking tours and even television programs to explain the program. “I take a lot of pride in myself, now,” he said in a specially arranged interview — most in the program are not allowed to discuss the program with the media. I’m doing good things for myself that I know I need to do,” he added. Mark said he had only a few hassles from kids at school when he returned, mostly from druggies” who are afraid of him and what he and the program represent. Many people, he said, gave him words of encouragement and admiration. Mark is one of about 1 50 kids from all over Pinellas County on the program. A dozen or so were from Clearwater — exact numbers and names are kept confidential to aid graduates in re- establishing themselves in their new, changed lives. Some stay out of school in the early phases for months — some progress rapidly and are able to go home and back to school earlier, in only weeks. Some, as Mark did, act up” and must start their program over.

Does he miss the old lifestyle and the un-straight “friends” he had? Not at all, he says, because now he knows he is doing the right things for the right reasons and for himself, not to please his peers. Are there many at CHS who could — or should — be straightening out their lives and getting off pot, hash, coke, speed, acid, ludes, or whatever? Yes, said Mark, many more than teachers and administrators are aware of. He disagreed with the observation of School Supt. Gus Sakkis, who said in November that he believed drug activities in the schools had declined from previous years. “There are more drugs than ever before, he said. “I’ve seen people pass a bag and roll a joint in class. He agreed, however, that those involved are now more cautious and less obvious about their activities. Everyone who finishes the program has praise for it, but as might be expected, those who quit are highly critical. Julie, another Clearwater student who was in the program but quit before finishing, felt the rules were too strict about changing one’s lifestyle. “They make you give away all your old clothes, your letters from old friends, everything that had some connection to your old druggie life,” said Julie (not her real name). “It seemed like too much, too extreme.” But was it too much to be straight? Hundreds of Straight kids think not. Straight counseling involves hours and hours of rapping about one’s life and values .

Juniors, like others, were in need of money. The problem was that many juniors didn’t want the responsibility of a part-time job, so they looked for the easiest way to make money. The Clearwater aluminum can collectors helped them find a way. No scheduled hours and no weekends or holidays. What could be better? Reynolds Aluminum Recycling is their name — crushing cans is their game. Debbie Davidson found out that her aluminum cans were worth 28£ a pound, and it only takes 22 cans to make a pound. Debbie devised a plan which she anticipated on finishing in March or April. Instead of skipping lunches to save money, Debbie decided to collect aluminum cans to pay for her class ring. Every third Wednesday Debbie waited patiently for a truck to arrive in K-Mart’s parking lot, weighed down by four garbage bags full of cans. “Just about anywhere you go there are aluminum cans on the ground. We’ll stop the car and pull over to pick them up — but never on the highway!” Debbie isn’t totally on her own, she gets a little help from her neighbors and their weekend football games with their Busch beer cans. Beer cans seemed to be the most popular of the cans collected. Within six months Debbie saved $45 — just enough for the down payment on her class ring. When asked what comes next, Debbie replied, “Well it just depends.” It just goes to show — where there ' s a will there ' s a way. ■4 As her main source of income, Debbie Davidson collects aluminum cans in a lot near her house.

Marianne Savalli and Mike Hall take a break from classes to catch up on their studying, y Final lap of high school By DAVE SCHMITT Along with the ending of the year rolled in the memories of victorious triumphs and lonely defeats, good times and bad situations, and the remembrance of new beginnings and old friends. Seniors realized the finishing line of high school education was in sight. Graduation class wheeled in with a total of 785 seniors including officers: president, Larry Bellack; vice-president, Theo Karaphillis; secretary, Dan Buffington; and treasurer, Ron Perrott. The officers’ job was very demanding this year. Candy and senior T-shirt sales helped raise funds, while campus beautification made CHS a better place to look at. For the first time seniors saw the green go” flag. Being the first students to receive parking stickers made it easy for most to drive to school. Possessing a car of their own meant not having to borrow Mom’s. But for some, asking for the car keys at 6:30 a.m. became an everyday routine. Open periods made straightaways for seniors with few classes. On a supposedly closed campus, seniors could be seen coming and going all times of the day. Free periods also enabled seniors to do the menial chores needed to be done, like senior portraits, cap and gown measurements, sutdying for SAT and ACT tests, and numerous other Class officers Larry Bellack, president; Theo Karaphillis, vice-president; Dan Buffington, secretary; and Ron Perrott, treasurer; can’t wait to take their new toys for a test drive. ▼ chores.

Then before they could refuel their engines, Grad-Nite pulled up, and seniors found themselves on the way to Disney World for a night full of good times in the Magic Kingdom. As seniors rounded the last bend, graduation came up on June 1 6th, and 785 graduating seniors made their way on to the stadium field as family and A 79-80 was a good year with a superior senior class. friends watched from the stands. As ceremonies concluded, onlookers poured onto the track. Tears streamed down faces as grads hugged and kissed each other. For some it was college, for others it was occupations, and still more planned to take it as it came. This completed the final lap of the race for high school education. But there were many more races to come, and with each rolled in even more memories. Three seniors got a rollin’ start on college. Taking early admission during 1979-80 were Margaret Andriola, New College; William Barrett, Purdue; and Jeff Warnkin, St. Pete Junior College, y Kelley Abbitt Vanessa Adams Greg Aguera Maria Alcoz Carol Allard Robin Alsobrook Malora Anderson Scott Anderson Connie Andres Jim Appelt Heather Banghart Diane Banis Becky Banta Jerri ne Barber Lauren Barber Leslee Barnicle Bryan Batten Lauren Bazin Lisa Beck Kevin Becker Ramona Aprivelo Steve Apuzzo Holly Arnett Lora Ash Dean Baker Larry Bellack Andrew Benefiel Daniel Benefiel Julie Bennett Holly Bert Senior 209 Mark Billiris David Blackburn Jenny Bliss Lisa Blyskak Brenda Bohlmann Tobi Booth Kevin Born Lisa Bortles Raymond Bouchard Greg Boulware Kathy Bouse Harry Brady Leslie Bravo Amy Briles Donna Brill Rick Brinkman Brett Broadwell Whitney Brooks Ernest Brown Paul Brown Philip Brown Joseph Browning Dee Dee Brutus Guy Bryant James Bryant Lory Buck Debbie Buehler Dan Buffington Tracy Burney Jennifer Burns 210 Senior Up past twelve By DON NEUBAUM and BRAD MEYERS There were always some Friday and Saturday nights when you couldn’t find anything to do. While some packed it in early, others went to the Midnight Movies. The Rocky Horror Picture Show became the king of these movies. This particular movie has played in this area for over a years worth of weekends. The film’s popularity seemed to increase every week as its legions continued to spend money to see it. Live films of the great rock ’n roll bands were also popular in the area. Led Zeppelin’s ‘‘The Song Remains the Same” and “Give me Shelter” by the Stones were just two of the many of the filmed on-stage performances. Comical movies were also frequently shown at the midnight hours. Monty Python and the Holy Grail appeared at the movie houses several times. Flesh Gordon left moviegoers in awe as the film proceeded to disgust most of its viewers. The variety and quality of many of the films differed, yet no one seemed to care. Regardless, many people flocked to the theater to catch another of these midnight movies. Students kept a mused while waiting in long lines for the midnight movies.

Gary Smith and Penn Dawson are two fine artists. Their creations can be found in Clearlight and Fathoms. Gary began to show talent at age five when he drew pictures at the beach. Although he has never had any formal art training beyond classes at school, Gary’s talent has become well developed. Besides pen and ink drawings in the school publications, he does custom designs on T-shirts at Clearwater Mall. Gary aims for a fine arts degree and a career as an illustrator. Penn ' s talent also appeared early. Artwork, as well as copy and photos is a vital part of any media. Penn Dawson, Clearlight artist, puts on the final touches of his next “Men From S.C.U.M.” cartoon for the upcoming issue. He taught himself by copying newspaper cartoons. His first break came while a staffer at John F. Kennedy Middle School. His strip, “Men from S.C.U.M.” first appeared in the JFK Raider and later in Clearlight. Ninth grader Penn Dawson was so eager to be a Clearlight staffer, that he camped outside the Clearlight office and eagerly awaited every chance to show adviser Shirley Broad samples of his artwork. His perseverance certainly paid off because almost every issue of Clearlight since 1976 has contained the Penn Dawson logo. Penn and Gary are just two of the many talented artists on the Clearwater campus.

It has even been said that it is better to give than to receive. Many people believe that the gift of giving alone is essential to human life. Another essential is blood — the gift of life. One Friday morning, representatives of Hunter Blood Center arrived with three mobile units. These units contained information sheets, tourniquets, needles and bandages. It was our turn to donate blood. About 109 people volunteered, but only 87 were actually able to contribute to this worthy cause. In order to give you had to be 1 7 years old or older, in good health, and weigh at least 1 10 pounds. Some people couldn’t give because of medical problems. Others, like the athletes, couldn ' t give because of practice that afternoon and the game that evening. Hunter Blood Center started the program of visiting high schools in 1 977. They needed a place where many people could give blood at one time. High schools were the perfect place. Now they visit 5 local high schools regularly, averaging approximately 400 pints of blood. Of the three units used, one is a portable office used for paperwork, and the other two are mobile donor units. Each is equipped with all the necessary items found in any blood bank. The portable units are very effective. They have saved people the time and the effort of going to a blood bank to donate blood. The biggest satisfaction of donating is the knowledge that your donation is a help to others. Every one may not have money to give away, but we all have blood. Your donation may even save someone’s life. Blood — it’s the gift of life. Many students did their part by giving of themselves. Alan Crossland smiles and takes it all in stride.

By DON NEUBAUM While most students are busily taking tests, doing homework, or taking notes on the importance of an early Egyptian civilization, others are meandering in the halls or cruising in the parking lot. You may ask, “Are these specially privileged students who are so intelligent they don’t need any schooling? No, they’re probably just seniors with an open period. Some people think that open classes are a waste of time. Not true. Many students work on homework, talk to other students, or go eat lunch at one of the local establishments. Some feel an extra hour of sleep is important. For these students first period open proves to be the most advantageous. Others feel that sixth period is the best to have open so they can get some rest before work. Yet fourth period seems to be the overwhelming choice of most seniors who have the luxury of having an open period. Fourth period is the best to have open. It gives you 1 V 2 hours for anything you want to do, said Kerri Glorfield. So next time you’re in class and someone raises a commotion in the hall, chances are it is a senior trying to waste another free period.

And why not? After all, there is no better way to spend a sweltering summer day than at the popular summer hangouts. Whether you ski, windsurf, scuba-dive, swim or just plain ole’ sunbathe, the image of the warm sun along with the salt water and the cool seabreeze have probably been permanently etched on the reels of your memory. Many Clearwater students pursued activities in clear water — salty and fresh. One of these sports is water skiing, and two of the students who enjoy this sport are Rick Howard and Dave Williams. Both of these guys have been skiing for about seven years, and it shows. Rick, who spends the whole summer skiing up north says, Skiing is great — it takes strength and coordination. It’s got to be one of the best sports around. Dave feels the same way. During the summer months Dave manages to get over to Carlouel at least three times a week. He has even gotten tips from championship skiier Alfredo Mendoza. Yet another popular sport is wind- surfing. Whether you’ve developed into a championship windsurfer like Greg Aguera or you just go out for fun, there are plenty of places for you to perfect your technique. Of course there’s scuba-diving too. Ask Kathy Duhan and she’ll fill you in on the excitement of underwater life. Kathy has taken scuba-diving lessons and snaps up any opportunity to dive. Sunbathing, which is another activity everyone in this area is an expert at, is the art of lying on the beach. Nothing can exceed the amount of enjoyment a day or night at the beach can provide. Daylight hours may be passed by tossing a Frisbee, checking out the scenery, or just lying on a blanket listening to your favorite radio station. But at night, new activities emerge on the sands. For those students who are fortunate to be legal” there are plenty of nightclubs on the beach for enjoyment. If, however, you aren’t “of age,” your beach excursions are limited to cruisin’ along the beach and through the parking lots in hopes of spotting a familiar face. Either way you’re liable to run into some sort of excitement. So if you’re looking for a good time, head towards your favorite body of water. Chances are you’ll find something to keep yourself occupied. Brightly colored spinnakers add to the beauty of a warm Gulf day.

For the aspiring senior, attention is focused towards the bottom of the pile. Computer printouts thoughtlessly struck, informing the postman of the college bound student. The repetitious occurrence starts toward the end of the junior year and continues through the senior. Soon a shoe box is filled with envelopes. Whatever is left of the load gets tossed in the garbage can. It hits every year. Rising seniors face the decision of where they are going to end up after high school. Letters exchange information, leading up to what each college has to offer and which one is right for you. Time continues as tension builds. By December of the senior year, most preparatory measures should be in effect. Tests given by the College Board should have been taken, applications filled out, and some idea of a major should be known to the college-bound student. A numerous amount of aspirin is consumed because of the treacherous thinking involved in making the important decision. How do you pick a college? • For college-bound seniors Graduation day meant the beginning of a new independent lifestyle. Students feel that the best way to pick a college is to actually visit the campus while classes are in session. Getting in touch with the students and the campus atmosphere can tell you more than any pamphlet. According to counselor, Mrs. Elaine Jablonski, there are four main things to take into account — where and what you want to study, what you can afford, and how big you want the college to be. A test required by every college is the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), or American College Testing (ACT). The SAT is required by most colleges, but the ACT can serve as a substitute. The fee for the SAT was $8.25. A fee of $5.00 was charged for late registration, and $12.00 was charged for a walk-in. Studying was useless, but preparation was a necessity. Questions ranged in subject matter, battling all the knowledge absorbed in the last 12 years. Omitting questions occurred because it was explained that points were neither gained nor lost by leaving questions unanswered. The shuffle towards the decision goes on as the gathering of information continues. But the best way to gather information is to stick your head in a counselor ' s office and yell “HELP! Senior 221 Traveling a well-worn trail By MARY JO PENICK Another year brings another chorus of, Haven’t I had your older brother in class?” The constant drudge of having to live up to a teacher ' s Expectations can get wearisome after twelve years. The added comments are Are you as smart as your brother?” or I expect better grades from you than I got from your sister!” can only cause frustration. Following in the footsteps of older brothers and sisters has had its advantages through the years. Although some people feel that they have to try to erase the images relatives have implanted in their teacher’s minds, others do not. Greg Paulus says, “It doesn ' t bother me to have had an older brother because I set out to impress my own image into my teacher ' s minds.” Greg goes on to explain that he hasn’t really run into any problems with his older brother’s teachers. “Sometimes teachers have a hard time believing that Nick is my older brother. I suppose that could become a problem, but it never has.” The same basic opinion is expressed by Mark Billiris. Mark feels that having an older brother is a definite advantage. My brother’s reputation has really helped me. In fact, I don ' t think I would be on the Clearlight staff if it weren’t for him. Jeff Ledbetter is another person who likes having a well-known name. Jeff’s brother, Jack, is now a professional minor league baseball player. Having Ledbetter as a last name helped with tryouts. The coaches gave me a break at the start by giving me a better look until I could build my own reputation.” Laurie Wheless, however, feels differently. When asked what it feels like to have had older brothers and a sister, Laurie exclaimed, I hate it, I HATE IT!!” Teachers always bring up the subject of my brothers and sister. They don’t give me a chance to be myself.” Yes, having an older brother or sister has both good and bad points.

Images of slender feminine bodies dressed in various styles of Danskins, reflect from the perspective mirror on the wall. The class runs through the countless repetitious warm ups until it is time for brushing up on dance techniques. Classical music sets the pace for pirouettes, arabesques, and the rhythm of the toe shoes until time diminishes the lesson. A familiar feeling of sweat and tired muscles spread over the well worn bodies. The desire to be better counteracts with the expression of talent to feed the hours of consecutive training. Dedication and pain come automatically with any form of competitive athletics, but few people realize what strenuous activity and tremendous drive are required, especially in ballet. Karen Stube and Leslie Wright know the consequences of striving to be dancers against the competition. Both know what it takes to develop themselves to keep up with it. Although Leslie ' s interests spread to a wide range (continued, next page) Every aspect of dance is vital to the learning process. Leslie Wright instructs a group of young students through their warm-up exercises. - Jeffery Lindsay Lisa Lingle Kathleen Linn Mike Linton Joyce Loeser Kurt Long Leonard Long Scott Long Cindy Loreant Robert Louvaris David Lovejoy Duy Lowery Bonnie Lowrie Robert Lowrie John Loy Glenn Luben Shelley Lucas David Lundeen Karen Lyons Marie Lyons 224 Senior Pointe continued in the arts and Karen’s sole interest is ballet, they both go through it all. According to Karen, “A lot of people don’t realize the physical and mental pain, the torn muscles and bloody blisters you go through in ballet. I read somewhere that ballet is more strenuous than football.” Why go through it? According to Leslie, “There is a self satisfaction. You know when you ' ve done well.” She continues, “There are rare moments that make it all worthwhile.” Although she dances for enjoyment with no career intentions, Leslie, a slender strawberry blond, prepares her artistry for something to fall back on. She spreads her interests among the arts too, singing in concert choir, and in her junior year, performing in “Godspell” and The Sound of Music.” On the other hand, Karen, a tall willowy blond, devotes herself solely to the world of ballet. “Sometimes I get discouraged, but I just keep on working and striving for my goal.” That goal is making it in a ballet company. “I think if I work my way up with one company, I can get to other things. But Karen explains that the competition is really tough. There are a lot of 13 and 14 year olds that can easily take your place, so if you don’t make it by the time you’re 18... forget it. But she is not easily discouraged. If I don’t make one company, I’ll keep trying.” Both girls have traveled to study more about dance. Leslie flew to London in the summer of ' 78 and Karen went to Zurich last summer for class under a close friend of her local teacher, Beatriz deParis. Leslie, who takes classes from Peggy Wallis and Haydee Guterrez, feels, “It’s more challenging for me to get a wide range of instruction. Sure, I go through a lot for not wanting to be a professional but it ' s experience and I enjoy it.” Karen agrees that the sacrifices are worth it. ”1 don’t feel that I’ve lost anything. I enjoy what I do.” Taking it seriously is the prime factor to the dedication. Leslie explains, “You don’t know what it’s all about when you’re little. My interest in ballet started late.” For Karen, her beginning was a typical story. “As far as I can remember, I have loved ballet. I begged and begged until my mother finally took me and I have loved it ever since. Both girls are encouraged to keep up with it. Karen explains, My Mom has James McGowan Lynne McKenna John McKinney Melissa McManus Steve Meece Meg Mehelich Nancy Meier James Melzer Mario Menna Luigi Meneghini George Mentavlos Gary Merrill Kelly Merritt Debby Methvin Donna Meyers Ike Mihaelaras William Mikonis Lynda Miller Patricia Miller Robert Miller f I 226 Senior always been all for it (making ballet my profession). If I changed my mind she wouldn’t be upset because she knows that I know what is right for me.” Leslie on the other hand, not wanting ballet for her career, receives full support also. “My parents are very supportive and they understand that I want ballet as something to fall back on. After all,” she continues, I’m planning on a music education degree in college.” Their involvement makes a hectic schedule leaving little room for other things. “You have to practice so much that there is little time for anything else,” says Leslie. “If I don’t finish homework in class or in the afternoon, it probably won’t get done.” For Karen also practice time detracts from study time. Sometimes I feel I could get better 4 Dancing is a way of life for Karen Stube.

As fora social life, both insist they find time for friends. Whether for a career or for pure enjoyment, Karen Stube and Leslie Wright get the most they possibly can out of ballet. They have no regrets, no discouragements. The grueling training, daily torturous exercises and the constant need to push yourself rewards them with a sense of achievement. Karen sums up, If I didn’t like it, I wouldn’t have gotten this far. Pushing yourself is the only way you can improve ... in anything.” Dennis Miller Ann Milner Denise Mitchell Marilyn Moles Stephen Mol i no Torre Murray Donna Meyer Scott Nall Janet Nash Marlinda Neal Pamela Nelson Ruthie Nelson Don Neubaum Todd Newkirk Vicki Newman John Newsome Jackie Niels Diane Nielsen Doug Noah Piedad Noguera Tim North Debbie Novak David Nugent Kim O’Leesky Kevin O ' Neill Learning by doing By KIM MILLER Doctor, lawyer, Indian chief. Seniors had the opportunity to do many things in the Community Leadership Program. The county-wide program many call interning, originated about five years ago. Over the years, participation in this program has increased greatly. The Class of ' 80 contributed roughly a score of participants. Larry Bellack and Ralph Strenglein were both placed at the state attorney’s office. “We see cases from sexual battery to marijuana,” Larry said. Ralph added, “All of them are very interesting and educational.” The program usually necessitated a five hour day, but sometimes went to eight or nine because of extended court trials. Stationed at the Clearwater Times building was Beth Schoenholtz. Beth had a full semester of reporting, writing, attending meetings, and working with Times ' editors and reporters. She said it was hard work, but enjoyable and “an awful lot of experience. Although it can be rough at times, Clearwater students enjoy and benefit from the program.

As you sit there trying to concentrate on the two-page trig test in front of you, you slip into another world. The world of weekends. All you can do is sit and wait for the glorious sound of that 1 :30 bell. Finally the bell rings, and you’re faced with 2Vz days of fun, excitement, and partying! Sailing was only one of the many Bay area activities that filled seniors’ sunny weekends. According to one senior, “The thought of the weekend is the only thing that pulls me through the week.” Everyone else seems to agree. “There’s so much to do!” says Linda Stann. And she is right. In season there are football and basketball games, and no matter what the season — there’s always a party to attend. Parties. That word, for most seniors, is a synonym to heaven. Whether you’re at someone’s house, the beach, or Capogna ' s parking lot the effect is the same. The stereo is cranked, and all troubles have been forgotten. Although partying all weekend sounds appealing, it is a dream that rarely becomes a reality. Instead many seniors find themselves at work for at least one day of their beloved weekend. Debbie Glenn says, “I don’t really mind working because that’s how I manage to pay for anything I do when I’m not working. Some people end up sitting home because of lack of funds, but not me — I work hard for my weekends.” It’s all too soon when Sunday night comes, and most students are found frantically trying to finish their homework. The weekend is over but whether your weekend was made for Michelob, relaxation, the beach, or anything else — you most likely had a good time. And no doubt the countdown to next Friday’s 1 :30 bell has already begun.

Tornado swimmers are only some of those in a program called Nautilus, named for the kind of weight machines used. One particularly dedicated denizen of the Y’s Nautilus room is Jeff Corniello. A physical fitness nut, Jeff includes in his weekly diet two or three dozen eggs, three gallons of milk, four cans of tuna, and as much fruit as he can consume. Jeff’s dream is to try for the Mr. Olympia title, one of the highest honors in body- building. Before that, Jeff would like to win the Mr. Teenage America Tournament. Others participate in the body-building aspect of physical fitness. John Bryan, a junior, doesn’t follow as strict a diet as Jeff, but does run and work out at the Nautilus room. John does not participate in competitions, but works out for his own satisfaction. I admire those who can stick with it — like Jeff, because it’s difficult with school and extra-curricular activities,” John said. Whatever their motivation, many of the Clearwater macho men were pumping iron. Muscles flexing, Jeff Corniello shows one of the many bodybuilding poses.

An interruption in the usual scenery sparks the brain to pick up the heavy resemblance in the presence of twins. These carbon copies cause much confusion as students wonder, “Are there actually two of them? One pair like this are the DeWalds. They look almost exactly alike, but they are different in many ways. Each has her own friends, who sometimes get confused between the sisters. When people yell ‘Linda’ down the hall I say ‘Hi’ because some people don’t know we’re twins. Running is another thing they have in common. Both girls participated in both cross-country and track. They both run because they like to — not to win awards. “I like running, but I don’t like competing. I want to end my career after high school,” says Laura. They both agree that they prefer cross-country over track. I like distance, I’d like to run marathons,” says Linda. Whether traveling in a race or to their next class, twins command attention.

But the cars in the parking lot aren’t always just a means of transportation — more often than not, they are status symbols. Status plays an important part in high school students’ lives. A car is a status symbol. Look around — Trans Ams, Grand Prixs, Mustangs, Toyotas, muscle-machines” and klunkers — the parking lot holds them all. Of course there are people without cars who become extremely jealous when a new-looking car pulled into the parking lot. I bet Daddy bought that car. That guy is really spoiled.” This is one of the many comments that might be heard. But what about all the klunkers? Hey, it gets me where I want to go,” said one owner of a rusty, noisy, white 1970 Dodge Dart. Don’t knock it.” Although some students didn’t have cars, they had one thing car owners did not have — money. Because of the gas crunch, students turned to economy cars and car pools. Some rode bikes or motorcycles, while others walked. But nothing stopped us — we just kept on rollin’.

Even though they may not receive all the glory, they hang in there because they love the sport. Many students were active in sports with some being on a school team. Physical fitness kick continues to grow through the eighties as people learn the importance of keeping physically fit. On the other side of the field, there are athletes who do not put in the long hours of practice. These people do as they please. Tossing the Frisbee and playing touch football prove to be favorite pastimes. Physical exertion, whether it be for pleasure or competition, was just a way of getting involved in a sport. Even if it was only a pick-up game, participants took pride in their performance. Sports 239 CD A Quarterback Jeff Ledbetter fades back to hand off to fullback George Mixon at the Spring Jamboree.

This fact became more evident when Joe Jock By JEFF MAUGEL The time is 6 a.m. and the alarm blares into the darkness. Joe Jock painfully reaches out to silence his alarm. The pain runs up and down half his body as his mind recalls last night’s football game. He carefully lifts his swollen body out of bed and prepares for school. His classes — underwater basket weaving, team sports, and student aid make up his tough” academic courses. You see, his train of thought is in football. Joe eats, drinks, and sleeps that sport. After the last school bell has rung, Joe heads on over to the stadium to suit up for the day’s practice. Once out on the field he suffers through numerable calisthentics, which supposedly stretch the muscles. Then he must face the horrid task of learning the week’s new plays, which to him is like memorizing a Shakespearean classic. After the coaches have drilled him and the rest of the team thoroughly, they are faced with wind sprints. After a tough workout, wind sprints have got to be the epitome of pain. A week of practice goes by and the bruises and painful muscles grow. The day of the game has finally arrived. Proudly, the player wears his jersey to school. All the girls flock around him wishing him good luck” at the game. Nervousness sets in and continues to increase as the game looms nearer. Soon it is time for the worrisome bus trip which makes his nerves stand on end. His muscles are numb with anticipation. His heartbeat accelerates as he dreams of the game. Somehow he manages to concentrate on the plays he has learned during the past week. The bus pulls into the rival school ' s parking lot and is unloaded. The player enters the alien stadium onwards from opposing fans. The game begins. He throws for three touchdowns and runs for another. On the last play he gets hit from behind. The pain in his leg is unbearable. He is rushed to the hospital where he is told his leg is broken. With his leg in a cast, he will miss the remaining games. Football is all he knows. The remaining four games will be tough on him watching from the sidelines, but that’s the breaks. He knows he will be back though, because he loves the game — with all of his heart, mind, and body. After being injured playing football, Ray Bouchard watches impatiently, wishing he was in the game while Betsy Woodruff keeps stats. ▼ 4 1 Varsity Football 2 A - WJ J-J ' - JV-£T3 1-4T «,▼«.

Varsity cruises through season By JEFF MAUGEL The 1 979-80 varsity football team cruised to a 10-1 record with the only blemish coming in an 8-7 heartbreaking loss to Dunedin. Coach John Nicely attributed the success of this year’s team to the abundance of outstanding players. The offense piled up a total of 282 points — tops in the Pinellas County Conference. Led by quarterback Jeff Ledbetter’s passing attack to wide receiver Brian Fenlon and tight end Keith Lester, and accompanied by a steady running game of George Nixon and Leonard Long, the offense became a mismatch against any opponent’s defense. Defense — it makes a team. With such defenders as Chris Savio, Kevin Gregorczyk, Gary Ingman, Tony Shawders and Sean Washington, opponents found it almost impossible to move the ball. Allowing only 78 points in the year, opponents averaged just over seven points a game. One of the highlights of the season was the 28- 1 4 victory over Leto High School in the Suncoast Bowl. The Suncoast Bowl matches the 4A runners- up from Pinellas and Hillsborough counties. In the past, teams from Hillsborough have dominated teams from Pinellas. ‘‘We had good men that worked hard. Because of the hard work, we had an outstanding season,” said Coach Nicely.

(Standing) Assistant Coaches Todd Tanney, Sam Roper, Rick Wagar, and Steve Taylor. Faculty members transform into super coaches By JEFF MAUGEL Coaching high school football is obviously not a full time occupation. So what do coaches do when they’re not on the field? Coaches like Coach John Nicely, Coach Rick Wagar, and Coach Sam Roper leave the football field only to take on other valuable school services. Coach Nicely doubles as a mild mannered counselor . He advises students about classes for the upcoming semester, discusses college opportunities after graduation, and, most importantly he listens to the problems of students and gives them helpful advice. He seems to enjoy his work, and the students who have him as a counselor consider themselves lucky. Coach Wagar on the other hand has the dreaded task of trying to teach students how to dribble a basketball. spike a volleyball, and hit a softball. He also puts up with students who never dress out. These things offer him a challenge that differs from the one on the gridiron. Coach Roper is the school’s time-out counselor. His counseling often offers an alternative to suspension. Talking out the students’ problems and letting them cool down is the main purpose of this room and Coach Roper’s help. At the end of the school day, these faculty members went through a transformation back into football coaches. Drilling the team, teaching new plays, and getting the players into shape were the usual afternoon activities, but all of the coaching did not take place on the football field. A successful coach has an understanding for his team. He is a teacher, a counselor, and above all, a friend. For the record . .

Losses for the jayvee football team came few and far between, yet the two losses the team suffered were heartbreakers. Their first loss came in the second week of the season against Northeast. In the waning moments of the game, with the Tornadoes leading 21-20, the Vikings converted a long bomb into a touchdown. The successful two point conversion made the final score 28-21 . The other heartbreaker came against Seminole. With a fourth and one play on the Seminole three yard line, the Tornadoes fumbled the ball away. As a (continued) Heartaches . . . result, Seminole won the game. Along with the bitterness of defeat came an abundance of the sweet taste of revenge, as was exemplified when the Tornadoes defeated one of their arch rivals, Dunedin, 13-7. To many people it came as a surprise that the jayvee team had such a great season, because there were 26 freshmen on the team. These freshmen did well, but it was too bad for the very first time no schools in Pinellas County had a freshman football program. The games were held on Thursday nights at 7:30.

The cross-country trail gives the mind time to ease built up tension, until the reality of the competition comes back into focus. As the finish line draws near, the pace is set faster. The well conditioned body becomes evident as it expresses the intense running ability. Females in sports compete as seriously as men. Seen running down a side street, girls are usually thought of to be jogging to lose weight. Guys seen running are naturally assumed to be part of an organized running team. To contradict this myth, more girls are involving themselves in the sport of cross-country. Captain of the cross-country team, Janie Hancock pointed out, People don’t Enduring the pain of the last leg of the race, Beth Farmer went on to win the race at Taylor Park. realize that we have the same feeling for running as guys.” Co-Captain Lisa Beck said about the confliction: It ' s different for girls to do something athletic. People won’t take a girl athlete seriously unless she really excels. For girls just as much as guys, running is a relief from usual tension. It’s not quite so glamorous, but it is just as satisfying. Lisa admits, I would run anyway if I didn’t compete. The competition just shows me what I can accomplish.” The time will come when women are socially accepted more easily as athletes.” Lisa relays: No matter how long I run, I won’t be accepted as guys are, but to me that doesn’t matter. I know we work just as hard.” Through the woods to district and state we go By JEFF MAUGEL Running through the wilderness, the girls’ cross-country team made it through the woods in flying colors. The girls’ team again captured the district and conference crowns by winning all of their conference meets. They placed second in the regionals behind Brandon High School, and completed the season with a ninth place finish at the state meet. On the individual level, Lisa Beck broke the school record for the two-mile run. She ran it in 11:15, beating the old record of 1 1 :28 by 1 3 seconds. “Being coached by a man. Coach Keith Eidson, was a big change from past years,” said Lisa. Both girls and boys teams were coached by Coach Eidson this year. We were like one big team,” said Lisa. Team members included captain Jane Hancock, Lisa Beck, Ann Mikuliza, Beth Farmer, and the running twins — Laura and Lisa DeWald.

Being in a county with an abundance of competition is rough. Five teams in the Pinellas County Conference finished in the top ten in the state. The boys’ cross-country team, however, still managed to fare better than most. Finishing second in the conference may not seem like a tremendous feat, but it was the best finish by a Tornado boys’ cross-country team in twelve years. Early in the season the team was beat by Clearwater Central Catholic in a dual meet. Later on, at the Largo Invitational, the team got their revenge as they turned the tables against their arch rivals. Regionals were a big disappointment for the team. Team captain Brian Battan said, “We just had a bad day.” Under the guidance of first year coach, Keith Eidson, the boys team was ranked as high as fifth in the state. What was the reason for the team’s success? Brian Batten and teammate Chris Farmer attribute it to the team’s respect for their coach, and Coach Eidson’s mutual respect for the 79-80 cross-country team. ••• ' • .: ■ ’ .

Cross-country tests endurance, the chance for giving your best shot. Cross-country is the epitome of AThe Batten family makes up one fifth of the cross-country team. The youngest, Keith walks away after an exhausting run. running. Self-satisfaction plays a big role in the feeling of progressing at your own capability. Team captain Bryan Batten described it this way: “After experiencing the pain of a workout, and the sensation that you’ve improved, there’s a feeling of more confidence. Then you go on to push yourself to a new potential. Co-captain Chris Farmer agreed. “When you reach a certain peak, you feel satisfied but then you strive for more. It is important that you always give it your best shot.” For some runners it’s not the races that are most important but the workouts themselves — not the goal but the striving. Chris feels that the races are only a small part. If the workouts are done well, most things will fall into place.” Preparing physically and mentally makes the difference between doing well or just mediocre. Thinking about anything but the pain, helps set a steady pace. The challenges come when the real action erupts. It’s a personal challenge when someone is passing you in a race, said Chris. Bryan agreed, “I always feel that if he (an opponent) can take the pain, so can I.” Team members agree that being a runner is work. You get only what you put into it. “You yourself are your only competition,” Chris said. But one superstar doesn’t make the team.” Everyone feels the same pain, but the difference is in being mentally tough. Everyone usually gets blisters whether or not they have the right equipment,” said Bryan. To me, blisters are a sign that I have done well.” Runners. Athletes that happened to choose running. Hurdling over obstructions, jumping into the challenges, they perform in a way that shows that the difference between good and great is small. Possessing strength, agility, dedication and endurance, they show what makes a runner an athlete. Runners stay together until the final heat of a cross-country run.

Guetzloe soars above the net and rams another ® spike home. Girls’ team spikes way to playoffs By MARY JOPENICK The stands were sparsely filled. Only the cheers of loyal parents and devoted fans echoed through the gym. Inspired by their faithful fans, the Clearwater volleyball team played to the best of their ability. The girls were led by a dedicated person, Coach Anne Balderson, and two talented co-captains, Laura Guetzloe and Molly Hancock. The team served their way to the 1 979 district competition, and spiked their way to the state tournament. The road to the top was difficult and demanding, but the final result was well earned. Defending conference and district champions, the girls set out to maintain their title. They romped through the season and achieved their goal — the district title. Next the girls’ attention turned to the regionals. If we could win this game wouldn’t it be great! This became the team motto. Coach Balderson never lost faith. I had a group of wonderfully talented girls, including two who made All-Sun Country, Melinda Sheppard and Coleen Nagy. I knew the team could go far. Of course regionals was not the end, the girls went on to win the sectionals and then it was on to state. During the state tournament at Jacksonville, Clearwater played Plantation. The Clearwater girls lost 15-12 and 15-13. We were disappointed, but it was an honor to go so far, said Melinda Sheppard. With all the hard work the girls volleyball team went through, there was no doubt in anyone ' s mind that they deserved to go to state. 256 Volleyball Volleyball 257 Playing on a foreign court made no difference.

Coach Anne Balderson advises her team of the importance of their next play. Oh when those points come rolling in By JEFF MAUGEL Once the volleyball team established momentum, the points came rolling in. Momentum was built up in a variety of ways. Getting the first point usually started the wheels turning. Making good set ups, which resulted in point-scoring spikes, shifted the action into second gear. The driving force built and built as the number of points totaled higher and higher. By this time the girls emotions flowed with confidence, and the wheels were churning at full speed. If this incentive is lost, the team must strive to gain it back; for once the other team gains the momentum, it can be tough going and may result in an early entrance to the showers. The volleyball team actually only consisted of 1 5 players, but momentum acted as the 1 6th member of the team. This added player helped them capture the district, regional, and sectional crowns — paving the way to the state tournament where the girls placed in the top four teams in the state. Momentum — it was not the biggest factor in the success of the girls’ volleyball team — but it contributed a great deal. The players’ talent and attitude was the real reason for their success. With the serve comes the chance for building the score. Coleen Nagy tries for a favored point. 258 Volleyball AThe Girls Volleyball Team.

Losing a player of his caliber, a team often takes several games to recover. This was evident as the Tornadoes lost their next five games without Brittain. For the remainder of the season. Coach Jack Wilson used many combinations of players at many different positions until he found the right line-up. After a victory over St. Pete, the Tornadoes lost to Largo by one point. This was the first time in over 30 games that the Packers defeated the Tornadoes. “This is the low point of my coaching career and that covers over 500 games,” Wilson commented. Seniors Jeff Hall, Jeff Ledbetter, and Leonard Long were the backbone ofthe team. Carl Elliott also played an important role in the support of the team. They’re following a rough act,” said Coach Wilson. “Everyone in the PCC is out to beat them.” The team consisted of four seniors and eleven juniors.

Although the girls’ varsity basketball team practiced almost every day, they didn’t achieve perfection. But they did manage to attain their goal. “We just hoped to stay in the middle this year,” said Coach Anne Balderson. And that’s exactly what they did. The team consisted of twelve talented girls who “have a lot of enthusiasm and play an excellent defense. Coach Balderson believes that those aspects were the team’s strong points. She continued, I think the most outstanding game we played this year was against Gibbs. We beat them 62-54. It was quite an upset. But along with the victories came defeats. The girls played two real heartbreakers. One against top ranked Clearwater Central Catholic, and the other against eighth-ranked Seminole. Both games were lost in overtime. The St. Pete game was a heartbreaker too. The Lady Tornadoes were ahead with three seconds left, when St. Pete scored. The girls lost by one point. Even though the team didn’t have any extremely adept ball handlers, they had talented girls in other areas. Both Beth Farmer and Laura Guetzloe were the “hot” shooters, and Kim Weaver managed to dominate the boards for rebounds. “We usually play either a 2-3 or a 3-2 defense, because we’re not quick enough to play man-to-man. Next year I’d like to have a quicker, better shooting team,” summarized the semi-satisfied coach. Reaching upward, Laura Guetzloe scrambles for the ball, trying to keep the opponents from scoring. ► A Scanning the court is one of the most important skills of a basketball player.

The shot went up — and through. Two points registered on the scoreboard as the sparse crowd cheered. Laura Guetzloe had just scored on an assist from Ann Mikuliza. These two girls were both members of the Girls Varsity basketball team, but Laura and Ann were a team by themselves. The two girls went together like peanut butter and jelly. Laura, who had been playing forward on the team since she was a freshman, explained. “Ann and I played basketball this summer with other girls from around the county. That really helped us. It’s weird the way we work together. It’s almost like we know what the other one is thinking.” Ann, who plays guard, readily agreed. “I always look for Laura during a game. I can tell when she is going to cut in — and passing to her just comes naturally.” Ann went on to explain how much she likes team sports. I ran track, but decided I liked basketball better. I like to practice and I love working with a team.” Ann is a good ball handler, and defense is where she excels. That is where the difference between Ann and Laura surfaces. Laura, unlike Ann, is an accurate shooter who rarely misses, even from as far out as 25 feet. Those two aspects that could have separated the girls only helped to contribute to their peanut butter-and- jelly success.

Led by 6 ' 1 sophomore Hasan Jones, who averaged 1 7 points per game, and Dan Long, Scott Preising, and Gary Roseman who dominated the boards, the team dunked their opponents. Hasan, however, was drafted to the boys varsity to replace the injured Mike Brittain about half way through the season. Harry Katica was labeled by Coach Rudy Coffin as the team leader. During the season, Katica switched from a shooter to a point man. The sixth man on the team, Scott Quaterson, contributed to the team in many ways — one by being a spot- starter, and the other by coming off the bench in the clutch. The team battled their way to a first place finish in the Junior Varsity Invitational Holiday Basketball Tournament in the Tornado gym. Twelve teams played in the tournament in which Clearwater emerged as the champion by defeating St. Pete in the finals. “Good pressure man to man defense is the key to the team’s success,” commented Coach Coffin.

Determined to fight By MARY JO PENICK When jayvee basketball tryouts were announced, the gym became filled with sophomore and freshman girls, each fighting for the coach ' s attention. The resulting team was made up of new and inexperienced girls, including the first year coach, Sarah Mason. The girls lacked experience, yet as the season progressed, the team matured and jelled. After their first loss to Northeast, the girls were determined not to lose to that team again. At the rematch, the girls proved how determined they really were by beating them 31-27. Combining the strengths of rebounding and ball control, the team remained competitive. The Lakewood game was the turning point of the season. Needing a victory to build the team’s confidence and morale, the girls pulled together to tie Lakewood in the fourth quarter. Then with a burst of brilliance in shooting and rebounding, the girls defeated Lakewood 48-37. The team was young at the start of the season but the girls only needed experience on the high school level to develop into a mature team,” said Coach Mason.

Rising in the morning, coming to school, and going to first period may sound like a common occurrence, but even more than this was involved for all the members of the swimming team. They often arrived before first period to prepare themselves for the bone-chilling, icy water. Swimming for an hour and fifteen minutes readied swimmers for their second period class, as the numbing effect of the water kept eyes open for the remainder of the day. For those swimmers who hesitated getting in the water, Coach Don Prokes used the theory, “Get in or else. Stragglers that did not get in right away were usually pushed in and forced to do extra laps. After a day of school, the team was subject to another four hours of tough practice. The team got into shape with a multitude of calisthenics, including 2000 jumping jacks, 500 push-ups, and 500 sit-ups. Then the team piled into the pool to practice their strokes.

Each individual logged over one million yards, or 650 miles in the pool, and divers took the plunge on quite a number of occasions. Although divers usually don’t get the recognition they deserve, they work just as hard as the swimmers. Diving is the first event in a swim meet, and if the divers do well, it takes some of the pressure off the swimmers. A surprising number of All-Americans were chosen from the “Tornado Taz. Among these gifted few were Doug Soltis, Laura Cassels, Chip Johnson, Mary Lou Baldwin, Keith Byington, Susan Dalton, David Womack, Jennifer Burns, Scott Anderson, and Diane Chervitz. Last year’s team ended up the third best swimming team in the nation. Led by captain Doug Soltis, who was one of the top-ranked breaststrokers in the country, this year’s team proved to be even better. “We have a stronger team than last year,” said Coach Prokes. “We have more team unity and we act just like one big family,” he also added. Dedication, hard work, and team work has made the Tornado swimming team the top sporting team in the Pinellas County Conference.

These items are part of America. At the top of the list is baseball, the All-American sport. The boys baseball team practiced for four hours a day, five days a week. Practice took its toll during tryouts, as only 20 men made the team. Unfortunately, since home games were played at Tack Field, few spectators made the trip to see the future Dave Parkers and Pete Roses. Coach Steve Smith in his first year, worked the team hard, developing skills and getting his players into top condition. Stretching to loosen muscles, pushups to strengthen the arms, and sprints for all-around agility helped improve the players’ physical condition. Then the team put their mitts on to practice throwing, fielding and batting, developing themselves into a winning ball club. Scott Schlesman and Don Ulrich were the captains of the 1 980 team. “We have a close team. That helped us a lot in all of our games,” said Mike Hall.

It is the team sport that epitomizes the idea of sportsmanship. It is a game played and watched by both scholars and schoolboys. But for the varsity baseball team, it was more than just a way to pass time. “We all like to play baseball, but we always try to win too. We want to win,” said Robert Muldrow, referring to the varsity team. “I started when I was six or seven years old, way down in the Little League. I stuck with baseball b ecause I was always better in baseball than in any other sport. But that was because of the extra time I put into it,” Robert continued. Two of the varsity baseball players, Angel Lafita and Donald Ulrich, would like to play professional baseball. “I play varsity ball because I want to play pro ball, especially if I get a college scholarship,” said Angel. The other pro-ball hopeful, Donald, said, My dad was drafted by the Brooklyn Dodgers, so he has helped me out a lot.” Like all other varsity athletes, baseballers claim practice is essential. One of the coaches sayings is, Perfect practice makes perfect.” Angel has obviously been affected by this motto, as is proven by his comment, I treat practice just like a real game. It is so important.” Players like Angel, Donald, Robert, Charles Schlesman and Scott Nall practiced every day on their own time, during sixth period. Many hours were spent practicing around the batting cage before the regular practice with the rest of the team. While some kids were out rough- housing in a sand-lot game, varsity team members were in the midst of a very serious practice. Baseball — it is not just a game to pass time, it is a pastime. 278 Baseball B. Meyers M. Gerakios M. Gerakios A good arm for an outfielder is absolutely imperative.

No, the girls were not trying out for Miss Alaska, instead they composed the starting softball team. Most people believe that winter weather is not meant for softball, but to the girls on the team, it was all part of the game. The girls had minor obstacles to overcome. For instance, they lost last year’s starting pitcher, Renee Paulson. Replacements were few and far between. Because last year’s team soared through the conference championships, this year’s team had to defend their reputation, thus putting a strain on the girls. Coach Harold Reddick felt that this year’s girls were good. He did however say that there is room for improvement until we become number one.” The team faced yet another problem.

Tension mounted as a player screamed, Two out — any base! Countryside’s pinch-hitter stepped up to the plate. She already knew who not to hit it to, the two most dangerous girls on the team — Lora Ash and Kim Weaver. Both girls got their training at a young age. Lora started playing in Ohio at age eight, when she and the neighborhood kids got together and played a quick game of softball. As soon as she was old enough, Lora joined the Ponytail League. Kim, a native Floridian, joined Junior Miss Softball at the age of ten and has been playing ever since. In the summer, when they aren’t hitting homeruns for the Tornadoes, both girls play in a woman’s classical league. For most athletes, pressure is all a part of the game, just as it is for Lora and Kim. When I get up to the plate, I think about swinging through, not getting a homerun. I just want to get on base, said a confident Lora. Kim feels the same way; “I try not to hit a fly ball. I try to place it in the best spot possible,” said Kim. For Kim and Lora, the day of the games are normal unless they are up against Dunedin or Pinellas Park. My biggest rival is Pinellas Park because during the summer I played with girls from the team. I really like to beat them, said Lora. Kim loves to beat both teams. I’ve grown up with girls on both Dunedin and Pinellas Park. It ' s fun to beat those two teams,” voiced Kim. During difficult times, support was always found from their parents. They helped the girls on different aspects of the game. If my Dad sees something I’m doing wrong, he will help me correct it, said Kim. Lora’s parents, too, were always there to give her an encouraging word when she needed it. Now that the two girls are confident with their playing ability, they have set goals for themselves after high school. Lora — a senior, and Kim — a junior, both plan to attend St. Petersburg Junior College on scholarships. 282 Softball s JC ro 2 s A Quickness is a major aspect of the game.

Practicing, striving, and winning By DEBBIE BUCKMAN When the score is love-40, a tennis player uses every ounce of strength left in his body. The next point may decide the fate of the game. With a lot of concentration, a player can bring the score up to deuce, then his favor, and then a win. This was sometimes the case for members of our tennis team, as they smashed their way to victory. For the second year in a row, there were separate boys’ and girls ' teams. The two teams worked and practiced together, striving to reach that ultimate goal — a high plane of perfection. “We practiced together everyday, playing challenge matches, two to three hours a day, five days a week, said Linda Hershfelt. “There are no numbered positions (ranks) because the order changes from week to week. Someone either has a bad day or they get lucky,” added Marie Lyons. Mr. John Williams coached the tennis team again for the fourth consecutive year. “I like being involved. To me, high school tennis is the most significant type of juriior tennis. It is one of the best places for a young tennis player to get started,” said Coach Williams. The team started off the season fairly well considering they played the most difficult team around. Both the girls ' and boys’ teams lost their first match to Pinellas Park, 4-3. “Pinellas Park is our toughest opponent because last year they were league and district champs,” said Marie. The season went quite well with a large portion of the games being won by Clearwater. This year I’ve had the best boy’s team and the second best girl’s team since I’ve been coaching for Clearwater,” concluded Coach Williams. 284 Tennis It wasn t uncommon for players to put their all into a shot.

If you’re a member of the boy’s track team, it is all part of the dedication to excellence. Money is not the only sacrifice made by these students — time, hard work, and dedication are all part of the game. During the practices everyone on the team is running all out, because if you don’t work, you don’t compete,” said Mark Calandro. A lot of drive is put forth in order to be the best and fastest runner possible. “Coach Seeger is as dedicated to the athletes, as the athletes are to him,” said Darby Serraw. Then the pressure gets too immense, some members of the track team such as Tony Shawders and Eddie Frazier like to ease the tension by dancing. Running is not the only element that makes up the track team. Shotput, polevault, high jump and long jump are all involved, each one being just as demanding as the others and involving just as much time and effort. To keep in shape and in the competitive spirit, many track members could be found running in non-school promoted races like the Fun ’n Sun, Gasparilla Distance Classic, Bay-to-Bay, and Run-For The Health of it. Psyching up for a meet was another interesting aspect of the sport. Different members had different ways of getting ready. Some were quiet, some were rowdie, and some were their normal everyday selves. To get stares from bystanders and to get psyched up for competition, Mark Calandro went as far writing Rocky” on his equipment. As in any sport, there are injuries. In track, shin splints, muscle pulls, and cramps topped the list. Getting injured was depressing because the athletes had to stop training, practicing and competing. When they finally recovered, they had to start all over again. The pain had only just begun, but the thrill of victory made it all worth it. ▲it is a fight to the finish in the sport of track.

Coleen Nagy tears around the track in a night meet, y Scrapes to the knee were a common experience for hurdlers. Jenny Bliss comes to the aid of a friend and teammate. No pain, no gain By HOLLY ROUB The gun went off. Arms could be seen flying in an upward motion as legs strode forward in rhythm. As the seemingly endless distance to the finish line became shorter, the pain and agony could be seen on each girls ' face. Sometimes there was defeat and sometimes victory, but for the girls track team pain was inevitable. The team’s coach, Keith Edison, could often be heard saying, No pain, no gain.” Girls Coach Kathy Hershfelt chimed in, “Work it or you’ll never improve.” What all this came down to was that each individual should run to their limit and then more. Senior Jenny Bliss related, “If a person starts a workout, runs until they ' re tired and stops, what have they gained? They haven’t progressed at all. A person should set realistic long range and daily goals for themselves. Each person should strive to meet these goals, and at the same time should have to work at accomplishing them.” Track was an individual sport as well as a team effort. Track is more of a self- propelling sport than a team effort — until meets,” said sophomore Kelly Huseby. Jenny joined in, When we’re on our way to meets, the team suddenly unifies. Each person runs individually, but has their own part in making the team win.” To most girls, running with their teammates gave them incentive to run faster. Sophomore Susan Chamberlin stated, “When I ' m running with people who run faster than me I run faster. My teammates and my coach have a lot to do with the way I run. If my coach is telling me I’m doing bad and I could do better, it gives me encouragement to run harder and improve.” Competitiveness also carried through to meets. Sophomore Colleen Nagy remembered, When I was running in meets I tried to move up as far as I could. Then I ' d put everything into it to keep the pace, but if I had more energy I’d push out in front.” T rack did not consist only of running. Girls hurdled, high jumped, long jumped, and threw the discus and shotput. Most girls were encouraged by other people to do these. These events, though sometimes forgotten, involved extra effort. Practices involved both running and training for perfection in their specific event. For any event in track, working yourself was a necessity. As the finish line was crossed and a victory was received, all the work seemed worth it. Nerves were always on edge before your own event.

Tornado tee-team drives toward success By MANUEL GERAKIOS Vv 7l m In every athletic field, the participating athletes feel competitive and determined to win. The members of our high school golf team didn’t feel differently. A lot of time, hard work, practice, and cool operation went into every stroke each player made. In contrast to losing four times this season (once to Pinellas Park, once to Seminole, and twice to Dunedin), the team won seventeen matches. Steve Hudson, a senior, was ranked the number one player on the team. Mike Touhey, a senior who has played golf for twelve years, declared that, “We were a very experienced team this year, which , Aiming for the flag, Mike Touhey uses his trusty t a - $ nine iron to land the ball a few feet away from the r?t3+ ' s pin. M _r« helped us a lot.” David Martin, another senior player, received a walk on scholarship to Western Carolina University through his golfing efforts. One of the pair of youngblood freshmen on the team, Robby Blackert, contemplated the upcoming season when he said, “Next year we’ll be a young team because there are six senior guys who are graduating and leaving us. The other freshmen alongside of Robby was Steve Hand. Vigilance, determination, and competitive spirit were the major building factors of the golf team. The driving force of this group of students is what enabled them to work together to earn a second place finish to a tough Dunedin squad. Hr IT A A flood tee shot means a good start on a hole.

Not being able to practice in the cafeteria, as they had previously done, was a problem that was overcome with the generous help of th e Athletic Booster Club. The squad was having to practice later at night than they wanted to, so the Boosters rented the Clearwater for Youth building. The team was ecstatic and eternally grateful for this assistance. The guys practiced every day from 2:00 to 4 : 00 . Clearwater filled all 13 weight divisions, but did have some holes in the upper divisions from time to time. ‘‘The wrestling team has been good for me, said Rik, the only senior on the team. When I am wrestling I try to tune in to Coach Mita. When I am not wrestling, or before my match, I look to the bench for advice, he continued. The season was somewhat disappointing, we lost some close matches, said Coach Mita, but two juniors, Shawn Young and Tyler Rice, showed promise for state.

Aiming for the head pin By JEFF MAUGEL Bowling is not just a game of fun, it is a game of concentration, talent, and coping with pressure. It also involves a little luck. This year ' s bowling team fought their way to a second place finish in the Upper Pinellas division, being edged out by the Tarpon Springs Spongers. The team practiced regularly every Tuesday afternoon at Hi-Lan Lanes for their matches, which were held at various lanes throughout the area. The boys ' captain, Ed Ray, had the teams highest average with a 1 78. “I have been bowling for a long time and I really enjoy it,” said Ed. The girls captain, Anna Wenglasz, led the lady Tornadoes with a 1 56 average. ”1 have been bowling ever since I was two years old. I come from a family of bowlers,” said Anna.

Football is for fool in ’ around By JEFF MAUGE Fooling around, making a pass, and initiating physical contact may sound like a hot date on a Friday night, but really it is part of a sand lot or a pick-up football game. Usually someone was chosen for the task of calling others to inform them of the upcoming game. Often these privileged” people resorted to begging others to play. The week passed, and the day of the big game finally came. A few of the gang arrived early to reserve the field and warm up the football. Before they knew it, people were swarming like bees, eager to play the game. A few stragglers entered the scene, and everyone was faced with the chore of picking teams. With all the minor technicalities squared away, the stage was set for the opening kickoff. The ball was booted into the air and the kicking team rushed downfield like a hoarde of hungry cannibals after a plump missionary. The pile was broken up, and people searched for the kickoff returner. Finally he was found, and the game was resumed. The teams marched up and down the field, their strength being drained in the process. Towards the end of the game, the athletes dropped like flies due to exhaustion. By this time the fierce instinct of the cannibals had been tamed, but that did not stop their game. Although the sandlot football player is out there for the competition, he is really there just for the fun of it. A ' a mad scramble for the loose ball, Todd Maugel, George Vrlcos, Andrew Billiris, Tom Loveland, and Mike Stonelake, all get charged for j roughing the football. 296 Out of School Football Jumping, leaping and flying through the air are all part of playing Frisbee.

For a Saturday afternoon picnic or in the parking lot during a free period at school, or at any other convenient moment, Frisbee conquered the drudgeries of having nothing to do. For those who craved relaxation, casual conversation carried along with the gliding of the spiral toy from hand to hand. For the more serious, competitions founded by the International Frisbee Association (IFA) satisfied urges to win. Whether being a Pick-Kwik cheapie costing a mere 89?! or a World Class Whammo priced as high as $6, Frisbees varied according to their intended use. A game with diversified choices for playing, Frisbee touched the familiarity of soccer and golf, continued in competition with solo and freestyle, and climaxed with the epitome of the game — Ultimate Frisbee. Growing from an amateur idea to a big business -from a leisurely game to a competitive sport — it proved to be less than taken lightly. Eric Compton, a “Frisbee freak,” thinks of Frisbee as not just a game you can pick up any minute. It takes hours and hours of practice if you want to be any good. The flight of the plastic disc comes to an end, bringing the anticipation of another throw.

Well, they’re all athletes, although many people might ask, Who the heck is Oscar Fabbiani?,’’ anyone who knows anything about soccer knows that Oscar Fabbiani is the forward for the Tampa Bay Rowdies. Unlike football players, soccer players are constantly in motion. Played in two rarely interrupted 45 minute halves, soccer is much more physically demanding than football. While football players find themselves buried by a myriad of protective equipment, soccer players use only the minimum amount of protective equipment. Soccer is continuing to gain momentum in the American scene, not only in high school, but everywhere. Senior Kevin Hornbuckle explained, Americans are just now beginning to notice soccer as a major sport. It’s getting bigger every year. Jn a few years soccer should be as big a spectator sport as football.” It sure seems that way, especially right here in the Tampa Bay area. With the acquisition of the world famous Rowdies, many residents were introduced to a new, exciting, strenuous, vigorous and all-around entertaining sport. League teams were formed for soccer fanatics as young as 5 years and as old as 55 years. Beginners and near professionals — everyone took part in what seemed to be a fad, but lasted too long to be termed as such. Of course a good share of people played soccer on their own, just for fun. I’ve been playing for about two years — not on a team either. I just like to get together with a bunch of friends to play a few times a week. It’s a lot of fun, and it ' s also good exercise,” stated Ricky Soehner.

This goes on over an undetermined amount of time with a never-ending number of fouls. But that’s okay, after all — it’s just for fun. Among all races and ages, basketball is a leading recreation. It usually started with young boys getting their first basketball goal at the age of 1 0, or whenever they could push the ball up high enough to make a basket. Then he got Dad out to give him some pointers — | and of course. Dad was an old pro.” s The young boy then moved on to a neighborhood game composed of some of his friends. After a couple of months, he was ready for the game up at the high school. After one glance at the basketball courts behind school, it became evident that basketball was an overwhelmingly popular sport. The courts were always full of people of all ages, shapes and sizes. Zone defense, man-to-man, it did not matter — just as long as the guy with the ball was covered. Hustle, 21, full court, half court — all are among many games played by the roundballers.” Full court is probably the most popular type, said John McEldowney.

It’s very hard not to.” Sailing is a sport increasing in popularity. It is a calm, peaceful activity which, besides being soothing, can be competitive.

The Rowdies provided us wiJh exciting North American Soccer League action. They have been in the Soccer Bowl three out of the five years of their existence. With the acquisition of Oscar Fabbiani last year, the Rowdies obtained the top scorer in the NASL. Fabbiani outscored Cosmos striker, Giorgio Chinaglia by a single point. He guided the Rowdies to the Soccer Bowl where they lost 2-1 to the Vancouver Whitecaps. The only sad part to the Rowdies season was the loss of team captain, Rodney Marsh. He retired leaving behind his crazy antics, unpredictable personality, and soccer talent. He will be missed immensely by the fans of Tampa Bay. Spring brings an abundance of major league baseball teams to the Bay area. Horse, dog, and automobile races are added to the agenda to round out the numerous spectator sporting events. The fabulous fans and athletes have developed Tampa into a great sporting area — and a city of champions. The clown prince of soccer, Rodney Marsh, retired from the Rowdies this year.

Important things such as dates, concerts and movies. Students were included in the increasing popularity of roller skating, bicycle riding and physical fitness. The numerous tennis and racquetball courts were well used, also. If night action was craved for, everyone knew the place — Clearwater Beach. Midnight movies offered early morning entertainment. No matter how the free time was spent, one thing was for certain, weekends offered a chance to break away and take it easy before rolling out of bed on Monday morning.

At night CHS students were out again, many for dating, some for cruising. Whatever the case, the night usually began or ended by a stop at McDonalds, just to “see who was there. If eating out was included in the plans, students usually chose Capogna’s or Godfathers. From there it was either to the movies or back out to the beach for a game of Frisbee or football. The Tampa Bay area’s choice of summer concerts included Journey, Yes, Ted Nugent, Greg Allman, and Kenny Rogers. Many students flocked to see their favorite artist despite the high ticket and T-shirt prices. Summer jobs were very much in the picture with the rising costs of gasoline. Inflation money was spent before it was made. Jobs ranged from the usual waitressing or gas pumping to the unusual such as being a camp counselor. As the final weeks of summer came, students saw the opening of another school year. Summer’s three months dissolved into one short week, and inevitably, those books went unread.

Rollin’ in around 7 a. m. . . . or thereabouts By JANINE EADDY Everybody rolled in around seven a.m. They came by the busloads as well as carloads. Some rode bicycles others walked. Some came on time, others were habitually late. For those who drove, the price of getting up later was paid for as students battled for parking spaces. Any open space was used to park cars. They lined up on Arcturas as well as Hercules. Forty-five more students found places to park as the school board’s huge parking lot was cut back. Even so more spaces could have been used. For a small fee of $2.50, students were issued a sticker allowing them to park in the school parking lots. Some decided that the sticker wasn’t worth the money, but they managed to park in the lots anyway, ignoring all “No Parking” signs and announcements. They also used the empty lot on Hercules — only to have their cars towed away. Each car found in the lot was personalized in some way or another. Dice, soccer balls, garter belts, and other various trinkets decorated rearview mirrors. Bumper stickers and license plates slogans ranged from, You toucha my car, I breaka you face,” to “Warning, I brake for animals.” Political statements such as “Let my people go and “America, Love it or Leave it. were also popular. Besides their intended use, the parking lot offered a kind of solace to students — a place to smoke a quick cigarette, listen to the radio, skip a class or even to catch up on lost sleep. When the empty lot off Hercules was declared a no-parking zone, many cars had to be towed away. For a mere $20 one could reclaim his car. Bumper stickers said everything and anything.

Guenther 322 98 ROCK It’s always rollin ’ at 98 ROCK By SUSAN HENDERSON and JOANNE FORD Free entertainment. Always waving in the air, it was not hard to find. Playing for the better part of the day, radio dominated television. Free entertainment — for most high school students came in the form of 98 ROCK. The popularity of rock rose over 96 ' s fever. The lack of competitive concern was apparent. “I could care less about disco one way or the other,” said Chris Taylor, a 98 ROCK jock. I don’t think it is going to take over the world.” Chris went on to say, “The best disco dancer isn’t going to become President of the United States. ... So much for disco. One hundred thousand watts blasted from 98 headquarters to a flock of avid listeners. As the beat of a popular song made its debut, the volume rose to an ear shattering level. Watching record sales and the telephone request lines, the jocks at 98 ROCK tried to decide what songs were the most popular. According to Chris, the staff attempted to stay away from overplaying a song. “Out of the input, we cut through and decide what songs are the most popular. We try to keep a minimum of 4 to 5 hours between hot hits,” Chris said. The phones ring constantly. “With the number of requests we get in one hour, we could make a four-hour show. We try to play them as soon as possible without being redundant.” TV is getting more and more commercial, Chris observes, explaining that radio has begun to capture the teenage audience. “WQXM Clearwater — St. Petersburg is 98 ROCK.” The home of the mini-concerts played the music that people wanted to hear. Chris summed up. “We’re rock and roll and we intend to stay that way. What more can you say?” Free entertainment. Not so hard to find, and within arm’s reach.

The Big Red defense demonstrates its technique. The long-time rivalry between Clearwater and Largo High School extended beyond the actual football game. The other rivalry, less physical but more audible, was the battle of the bands going on in the end zone and at half time. Greg Paulis gives half time all he’s got. JL After having one touchdown called back because of a penalty, Leonard Long, No. 22, triumphantly plants a touchdown in the end zone — much to the growing dismay of the Largo Packers. 324 Largo We play Largo tonight, but who really cares? By SUSAN HENDERSON It was a typical day. Buses disembarked comatose students and a handful of oversleepers arrived late requiring admits. All seemed normal. You would never have suspected that this was an out-of-the-ordinary day, talked about and looked forward to every year. This was the day we were to play our long time rivals, the recurrence of the Clearwater-Largo football game. But the rigamarole that had occurred in years past was far from comparable. Spirit buttons were nearly extinct, red and gray attire was but a mere coincidence and conversations referring to the happenings of the coming night were light. Destructive revenge on the eve of the game seemed mismatched to history. Streams of toilet paper hung sparcely and spray paint was only noticed if heard about through the grapevine. Security against the rival vandals was extreme. At the game a policeman was overheard commenting; “I didn’t even need to come. I could have stayed home and watched TV.” This is not the only trouble that arose for this magical affair. All spirit was at the nadir. Only a handful of followers expressed their support. One group formed calling themselves the “Rowdie Rooters,” but consisted of only a scarce few. Others in attendance were bothered less by the game and more with socialization. Alan Gryncewicz, a recent graduate expressed, “What happened? It seems like nobody cares.” Cheerleaders and Tornadoettes still did their part to psyche up players and regular ticket buyers. Posters were hung, paper pins were dispersed, and pastries were baked for each player on the team, but the fact was that the spirit of the events was at a lower level. Could this be attributed to single-sessions, our loss to Dunedin, or a ho-hum attitude? Who knows. But as cheerleader Karen Chamberlin said, I think that the students wer e concerned more with the adjusting to single-sessions than building up school spirit.” Okay. November 1 6, 1 979 we got our revenge over Largo but the feeling remained. Who cares? Although the rival Clearwater-Largo football game failed to be exciting, the music provided by the Clearwater Tornado Band and their spin-off The Bud Band was excellent.

Despite busy schedules, nagging mothers, and unsympathetic teachers, students usually found excuses to condone talking on the telephone, watching television, not doing Algebra II homework, and staying up until midnight, thus risking a nap during first period. Not only was homework put off and ignored on weekdays, but the process of studying was delayed even longer on weekends. Saturday and Sunday offered a two-day haven which was used to catch up on lost sleep, missed meals, and an occasional chore or piece of homework. More often than not, students were obsessed with having a good time — whether at a basketball game, or cracking jokes behind a teachers back. To prove this, just take a look at the things we did, and the places we went . . . just for fun.

Y 326 Just for Fun 328 Just for Fun Searching for entertainment . . . just for fun By JANINE EADDY Whether it be disco, rock-n-roll, jazz, or country, music played a major role in the life of CHS students. Even at 5:30 a.m. the first thing turned on, sometimes even before the light, was the radio. How could homework get done without the soothing tones of favorite tunes? Driving across town would have been unbearable without a radio, even an AM radio with one speaker was better than nothing. The Bay area concert facilities attracted many famous names. Jimmy Buffett, Kansas, and Journey played at the Bayfront Center. Avid concert-goers traveled to the Lakeland Civic Center to see Jethro T ull. Yes, Waylon Jennings, Molly Hatchet and the Outlaws. Not only were concerts expensive, they sometimes proved to be dangerous, as A The dismay of the Clearwater-Dunedin game is captured in the face of Christie Starr.

New wave music was introduced to the Bay area as the Knack and the Cars visited the Bayfront and the Lakeland Civic Center. New wave was met with mixed feelings. “I like it. The lyrics and the beat really get you going,” said Mindy McManus. On the other side of the coin Laurie Desjardin feels, “The lyrics and the beat are disgusting. The groups have no real musical ability. New innovations in records included picture and color disks, which many 330 Just for Fun Many sunny days were spent surfing and sailing off Clearwater Beach, y A Even at 7 a.m., Jerona Davenport has a smiling face. considered a rip-off. ‘‘They are pretty neat looking but the sound reproduction is inferior to standard records and price- wise, they are a rip-off,” said Rick Moore. Record prices soared as the price of petroleum rose. “I think that the prices should be standardized so people can afford them,” said Mark Calandro. To many, music was a personal thing. A way of expressing yourself. The instruments varied from guitars and pianos to tubas and clarinets. Music ability was put to use as groups of interested students formed bands and played at parties. Some students invested in quality stereo systems such as Kenwood, Pioneer and Marantz, while others with a limited budget made do with portable AM FM radios. Music — probably the most influential factor in student life. It mellowed us out, fired us up, made us remember that special dance, and emptied our pocket books. No matter what, it seemed to do something we just couldn’t do without.

To many, weekends were a time for dating, perhaps the most popular teenage pastime. In a town the size of Clearwater, however, there doesn’t seem to be many exciting places to go at first. “I go to the beach a lot because there is always something going on there, said Cindy Fuhrman. When the evening calls for dinner and dancing, Studio 1 9, Crawdaddy’s, Brewmaster ' s, and the Smuggler’s Inn were a few of the spots most frequented by CHS students. This year saw the decline in popularity of disco music. To keep up with the drastic change in public tastes many Bay Area discos were forced to change their music formats to include some rock-n- roll. Disco is okay to dance to, but you can’t really listen to it. It grates on your nerves, said Beth Hoey. More casual dating was done at parties, movies, or when funds were limited, at your date’s house. Lucky for Clearwater residents, there are many theatres in this area. Students continued to shell out $2.50 to $3.50 for a ticket to see movies such as When a Stranger Carwashes were a popular fund raising activity and often turned out to be a war of spraying water and soap suds.

Many CHS students were saddened when Charlie’s Beach Bar and the Weeping Willow Lounge were forced to close their doors. Others continued to cart their fake ID ' S and risk embarrassing moments and possible arrest as they frequented local bars and lounges. The introduction of roller and ice skating excited many CHS students. On any sunny day the Clearwater beaches were swamped by sun bathers and roller maniacs who rented skates from local shops.

When the 1 :30 bell rang many students left, leaving behind all school- related thoughts and turning to out-of- school clubs to help ease tension. Clubs are a good way of getting involved and getting to know people better, said Tracey Jones, a member of the social club called PAK. PAK is a girls only club, but we still have a lot of fun.” Some members looked f orward to learning something in a club. Being on a teen board teaches self-discipline. You have to be a flexible type of person that is able to accept last minute changes,” explains Suzanne Finstein, a member of Burdines Teen Board. Clubs like Police Explorers and medical explorers investigate the possible fields that are available in the future. A young men’s fraternal organization that is spread throughout the U.S. is known as DeMolay. Mike Mikuliza explained that DeMolay is a club that builds an individual ' s character. “The female counterpart of DeMolay is the Rainbow Girls. The two groups join together for fun, food, and Christian fellowship,” said Kevin Hayslett. Every club had fund-raising projects to gain recognition or to raise money for a community service. The Rainbow Girls had a Rock-a-Thon” to support a hospice. PAK sold candy that supported the group so they could put on the Silverbell dance. It was amazing that with homework, jobs, and daily chores, students still found time to spend on serving the community. By being part of an out of school club, they had something to do after 1 :30.

Out of School Clubs 337 TO® mil o o o A new decade , a time for new beginnings By JANINE EADDY At the stroke of midnight Father Time handed over his sceptor and crown to the New Decade. With them he handed all the problems and cares of the past decade. The conflict in Iran, the shortage of gasoline and incurable inflation. For a fleeting moment both looked eye to eye. Father Time’s watery old eyes looked info the New Decade’s starry-eyed expression, remembering the time when one had to manually dial a telephone. His young replacement gazing into the future anticipating cordless telephones and nine foot television screens. Not only was it a new year, but a history. Is this the year that Flash Gordon lived in? If so, where were our space jets, robots and computer run homes? Look around. The 1970s decade brought us the home computer, giant screen TV and gasohol. What changes were in store for us in the 1 980’s? Would we go to war? Would we find a cure for cancer? Would we turn to space for a new frontier? All these questions and more remained to be answered. In order to find out what the general opinions of Clearwater High were several students, in an unscientific random poll, were asked to give their opinions on inflation, war and other topics which the world will be facing in the next decafe® War is hell, and always will be By JANINE EADDY ‘‘Someone said it before me, ‘war is hell’ and if you don’t believe it just take a trip down to Bay Pines and see what war does. You won’t like what you see — you I -At also wouldn’t like what war does to society.” said Teacher Steve Gerakios. Will this decade bring another world war? To many, the chances of a world war were small. If there is to be a war it would be in the form of 90-day skirmishes, they said. In order to fight a war people will be needed. One way to get people to enlist would be to reinstate the draft. ‘‘I think that it would take a lot to get Congress to bring back the draft,” said Sen. Don Chamberlin. The draft, a controversial subject in the early 1 970s continued to be talked about and speculated over in 1 980. Only this decade there was a new question, will women be drafted? Opinions on this question varied immensely. ‘‘I think that if the draft is brought back that women will have to be drafted, but not for combat. If they want to fight that will have to be their decision,” said Sen. Chamberlin, voicing the general consensus. Others felt that women got a free ride during the last two wars and are just as qualified to fight as men. ‘‘Combat would too greatly reduce the number of young women necessary for the reproduction and continuance of the American race,” said Greg Paulus. Most students said that they would fight in a war to defend the United States. “There will be serious opposition if this country was used to defend some little country in the Middle East,” said Charles Barber. War. Nobody likes to think about it, never mind fight one. The most that can be done is to try to keep peace. “We may go to war, but Carter has done a good job at keeping peace,” said Karl Koch. 338 Into the ' 80s Wedding bells may ring less often By JANINE F.ADDY A white dress, flowers, organ music, and plenty of tears — marriage as we traditionally know it. By the end of this decade many students will be getting married. With the rising divorce rate, many students felt that living together would replace most marriages, but even s o, marriage will survive this decade and many more. “Marriage will prove to develop meaningful relationships and provide benefits for both partners unlike living together where misunderstandings are common, said Katherine Savige. John Hynds believes that marriage will survive because it is an institution set up by God and therefore can’t fail. The average American family, according to many, will only be able to support two or three children. Rising inflation will have raised the cost of living so much that, in all probability, teenagers won ' t be able to afford many of the things that their parents could, unless both of the partners work. This reality of needing to work opened a whole new field for women. “The future for women is bright,” said Greg Paulus. Both partners will definitely have to work, but what ' s wrong with that? If a wife can help her husband with financial needs — so much the better. A marriage is a partnership. It’s a team effort nowadays and will continue to be, said Jay Kelly. Showtime 1980, that’s entertainment By SUSAN McDANIEL Most people feel that the entertainment for the 80s will not be the lighthearted comedies that we became accustomed to in the 70s, but rather will reflect social issues of the day such as divorce, child abuse, drugs and ERA. Consumers who owned television recording devices waited for the day when movies were aired to watch in the privacy of their own homes. “With new satellite systems home movies will become more popular. People will do more college courses by cable TV, said Karen Desjardin. What forms of music will delight our ears during this decade? Will we dance to beeps and chirps or will rock and roll survive? Could big bands replace the rock stars of the 70s? Even before we greeted the 80s, changes in music became apparent. The tide rolled in and we were introduced to New Wave music. Groups such as The Police, The Knack, The Cars, and the Inmates were among the first to hit our shores. lyrics of disco with the uplifting beat of rock and roll, while adding its own unique use of electronics to create a fmiliar yet different sound. Every new decade has an effect on sports and its players. As women’s sports gained more publicity, many said that soon women would be competing with men in golf, swimming, basketball and other non- contact sports. Many attributed the major change to the effect ERA has had on society. ERA will not be passed under that name; however a different proposal may be drafted, said Theo New Wave combined the monotonous Karaphillis. New discoveries may abolish age-old illnesses By JANINE EADDY Putting aside ideas of cloned people and robots, students predicted a possible cure for cancer and a definite treatment for its early stages, as well as colds, arthritis, and muscular dystrophy. ‘‘By the end of the 80s, large businesses will be able to build space stations with the use of a vacuum,” said Doug Tucker. The next decade may see man walking on Mars, living on the moon, and vacationing at a resort revolving around the world. ‘‘Contact with another race could not be too distant in the future,” said Karl Koch. Could you imagine Mrs. Olsen selling ‘space grown coffee’? This Watching your paycheck By JANINE EADDY It never failed. A few days after you cashed your paycheck or received your allowance, your money mysteriously disappeared. So there you sat, trying to figure out where it all went. Gasoline, movies, lunch, albums, a new pair of Levi’s, car payments, car insurance and more. Suddenly you realized where your hard-earned money had disappeared to. As you sat there steaming, your grandparents began to reminisce about their teenage years when they could go to town, see a movie and buy a candy bar all for 25£. Inflation — a fact of our lives which we had to deal with constantly. In the 1 970s the value of the dollar rose and fell, as did the price of gold which reached a high of $800 per ounce in School: back to basics? By JANINE EADDY The drudgery of school. Everyday, five days a week. Up in the morning, home in the afternoon, and homework at night. Day in and day out, year in and year out — but wait! 1 980 was the start of a new decade with new techniques. But how will this affect schools? Many students felt that school would be essentially the same. “Education will fall victim to technological advancements that will be inherent for everyday life,” said Kevin Cournoyer. “I think that schools will be almost entirely automated, with little or no use for teachers,” said John Hynds. Some felt that in order to keep up with the advancements, schools would have to offer courses that trained students for their future roles in society. Others saw a return to the three r’s — reading, ’riting, and ' rithmetic. Sen. Don Chamberlin said, School has become a mere stepping block to college or a job. It has become less of a life experience and more strictly functional.” Many felt 1 I 1 340 Into the ’80s in E!§® o o o seemingly strange proposition was already in the making as scientists and technologists got ready to launch a multi-million dollar space program to get operating space shuttles and colonies in space. In less than one hundred years man has gone from flying in balloons to flying to the moon. Within the next ten years I’m sure colonies will be set up in space,” said John Hynds. Along with advances in the medical and science fields, the electronic aspect of all these renovations cannot be ignored. As small and large businesses turn to computers for greater accuracy and more efficient information, society will be affected in many ways. Along with becoming more accurate, there is a good possibility of the world becoming even more lazy and less personal. “Computers will demand more complex mental work, and less physical activity. More impersonal choices will be made,” said Katherine Savige. - John Hynds Karen Desjardins dwindle January. Conflicts in the middle east brought the price of gas to an unbelievable $1.26 per gallon. Food prices also rose as did the cost of living. Where did that leave the high school student? With a shortage of money of course. Parents tightened up allowances and the lending of the family car. Many began to consider movie and concert tickets a rip-off, but they continued to fork out the money anyway. Eating out became almost unbearable. McDonalds raised the price of their Quarter Pounder and the old pizza ranged anywhere from seven to eight dollars. Was there any end in sight? To those who were polled, this question was a big joke. Many saw people too greedy to control their spending, others felt that inflation could only be controlled through a recession. A few optimists predicted that people would buckle down and start saving “inflation can only go so far. It will reach a peak and then die a slow death.” said Jay Kelley. Others felt that inflation and public sentiment were ready for a war. This, they felt, was the only way out. • Doug Tucker that vocational schools would be as popular as colleges. With so many students taking advantage of the job work experience, CLEP tests, and early graduation, what would become of the All- American high school student? Less interest in school functions, such as Homecoming, Prom, etc. . . . said Karen Desjardin. But what is in store for CHS? We will be on triple sessions, with a student body of about 1 0,000 people, and portables will fill the parking lots, said Karen. Others felt that CHS would just be left alone, and eventually torn down. What about the students? The demands placed on students to perform well in school have vanished. Few students want to please their teachers, parents, or themselves. Most just want to “get by” with as little effort as possible,” said Sen. Chamberlin. It is hard to say what Clearwater High will be like in ten years because the character of a school really depends on the students who attend it,” said Mary Lane. Into the 80’s 341 When all else fails , get a job By SUSAN McDANIEL 342 Jobs Car payments, dates, clothes for that special date, movies, gasoline — a whirlwind of expenses for the average teenager to cope with. Borrowing from parents became a bit redundant and the need for a job became apparent. Soon parents were yelling, “If you want money, get a job!” So off you went. Many jobs were obtained at fast food chains such as Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Burger King, and Mandy’s. These jobs usually entailed everything from doing dishes to making and serving the food. A buck was a buck. The hours were straining and they sometimes overlapped with study hours, causing parents to question, “Why do you have to work so much?” Students wondered why their parents couldn’t make up their minds. Movie theatres also provided a great source of employment for many students. Working at a theatre took up most of the weekend since the weekends were the busiest time. Responsibilities ranging from selling tickets to cleaning restrooms were all part of the work. necessity. Freshmen however, found it hard to find jobs other than babysitting. Although some freshmen found employment at places like Capogna’s, Lisa Grant felt that “for a freshman there aren’t many opportunities. But then again, freshmen did not have the need for as much money. There is no doubt that jobs were a very large part of most students’ lives. Jamey Hodgson summed up the feeling of working by saying, “Although I had to give up a lot of time after school, come payday it was really worth it.” Fast Food joints.

Along with the money the job provided, came the added responsibility. That meant being prompt, and having to curb their social life to fit their work schedule. Working long hours and then having to go home and study was not an uncommon routine for working students. The advantages of working more than likely outweighed the disadvantages. Being financially independent was certainly an asset.

Dale Tindall works at Jack Storms Practice Range — collecting golfballs and washing them for the next day Golfer It’s a Sunday afternoon, you’ve got nothing to do, so you turn on the TV. Nothing on but old movies and golf . . . grown. When I was younger, I thought that golf was the most boring sport around, but now I realize just how challenging a game it can be,” said Ward Rodgers. Up until a while ago, golfing was just a way for Ward to wile away weekday afternoons, but a 24 karat gold putter has changed his mind. Ward was golfing in the Belleview Biltmore junior competition when he drove the 1 27-yard hole-in-one, that won him the putter. I remember saying, ' I hope it goes in the hole’ when I hit the ball. There were only four of us golfing in the competition so when we couldn’t find the ball I checked the hole, and there it was. I was shocked. Ward realizes that golfing i 80% concentration and that a hole-in-one is a feat some experienced golfers have yet to accomplish. I don’t want to turn professional, but I would like to be a good low-handicap golfer,” he said. Ward hopes to turn his interest in golfing into a scholarship to the University of Florida. More than a pastime By JANINE EADDY It was sometimes lonesome and discouraging, but also offered a great sense of accomplishment. It was individual competition in non-school activities. There was no high school glory, many school activities often had to be forfeited and grades suffered. The formula for a fanatic was a never-ending combination of dedication, work, money and most importantly — a deep love for the sport. The desire to excel and be the best was often the motivating force. Students invested their talents in many different hobbies. These hobbies often turned out to be much more than a mere pastime. To many, the money poured into lessons and equipment was considered a waste, but not to the people involved. Whatever competition was chosen, students continued to put all they could into individual hobbies. Ice skater She stands about five feet tall and weighs under 1 00 pounds, but that’s okay. When you are shorter, skating is easier. There is less of you to slow you down,” said sophomore Patti Hackbarth. Patti has been skating for three years. My friend and I started taking lessons just after the 1 976 Olympics, for the fun of it.” Since then Patti has gone on to win first place in two rink competitions at Centre Ice in Countryside Mall. Patti’s love for the ice comes quite unnaturally as Patti has never seen either ice or snow. She hopes to become a pro and teach ice skating, or else perform in an ice show. That goal may prove to be a long haul as Patti explained, Falling is part of learning how to ice skate. My legs are constantly black and blue.” Besides being a lot of hard work, ice skating gets to be pretty expensive. The expense of ice skating stops most potential skaters, Skates are $200 a pair. Patti also takes ballet and jazz to improve the dance aspect of her skating. When you are performing for judges it is important to show that you are having fun, which isn’t hard because you get caught up with your music and smiling just comes naturally.” Roller skaters Roller dancing is NOT roller disco. The two are very different,” said Linda DiPietrantonio. Although Linda admits that disco has had a large part in reviving roller dance, she insisted that they’re far from the same thing. Linda and her sister Kim have been roller skating for about three years. I started roller skating to help my 344 Talents Singer “Up, up with people, you meet them wherever you go,” is one strain from the theme song from the group Up with People. Working out of the University of Arizona, Up With People groups, consisting of young people, travel all over many countries. Their repertoire consists of various secular music, both old and new. After each performance, a few of the 1 00 members in that particular company conduct interviews with potential members. You don’t have to sing or dance during your interview, it is very informal,” said senior Brooks Goodgame. The tour begins in August with the training of the new members. “There will be a lot to do in that five week period. They teach you all your music. choreography, and divide you up into touring groups, said Brooks. After hours of preparatory classes, the groups are sent on their tours. They will tour for a total of one year, except for a ten day break at Christmas. Along with the stiff competition, and the high standards for acceptance, is a price of $4500 for membership, which covers traveling, food, and lodging expenses. Realizing the amount of time, money and preparation that he will be required to dedicate, Brooks voiced some doubt. “When I received my letter of acceptance, I was shocked and a little doubtful,” he said. Nevertheless, Brooks is looking forward to his turn to tour with the group. I like people and I like to travel — it should be a lot of fun.” Moviemaker You should be in the movies,” has been the compliment paid to some talented people. In Kevin Cournoyer’s case, he could reply: “I already am — I ' m making them.” Filmmaking was a hobby that grew into a passion and, eventually into a career goal,” Kevin said. Kevin is making preparations for his future. In doing so, he has made his name known for when he turns professional. Kevin has even given his hobby job a name, KJC Productions. Recently the quiet, soft-spoken senior has been very active in filming a documentary film for cable TV entitled Viewfinder. But that is not all. “I ' m filming a movie right now that will end up costing $5000.” That price may sound exorbitant, but with the price of movies nowadays, it is chicken feed.” Kevin explained, “It won ' t be paid for out of my pocket. There are local businessmen who contribute money and then deduct it. Kevin has entered and won many film festivals since he was ten years old, including WEDU-Channel 3 ' s and Conneticut Image. I want to be the youngest film maker, not just another movie maker,” Kevin declared. The difference? Kevin maintains that his movies will do more than just entertain — they will “reveal a deeper meaning.” £ Iw 1 weak back,” said Linda. “Kim started because she was jealous of me.” Although that may have been true, the two sisters soon went their separate ways. Kim explained, I like to be able to depend on myself, not a partner. That is why I skate figures instead of free dance. A lot of people think figure skating is boring, but I like it. Linda, who skates dance and free dance, voiced another opinion. “Skating with a partner is better because if you fall you can always blame it on him.” Since the days of $2.00 metal strap-on skates, roller skating has come a long way. The skates the girls have cost about $350. Roller skating has also benefited by the invention of polyurethane wheels. We each have two sets of wheels, one for wooden floors and one for asphalt rinks,” said Kim. In order to become as good as they would like to be, Kim and Linda pointed out several fears that had to be overcome. The biggest challenge was to overcome the fear of the judges and the crowds. When I first performed my figures I got so scared and mixed up that I just left the rink. Ever since then I have refused to skate figures, said Laura. Both sisters would like to turn pro and teach roller dance. To get there they are willing to put in an average of 23 hours of practice per week, sore muscles, and the ever-present sense of competition. Everybody has someone that they want to beat — someone who they want to beat so bad they can taste it, said Linda.

Just for the taking By DON NEUBAUM Every year’s senior class has had a few students who are more involved or more well-known on campus. These students are usually placed into the stereotype of a “brain or a “bookworm.” But this was not always the case. Many of our exceptions were footballers, basketballers, or some kind of “jock.” The middle- of-the-roaders dominated the ranks of the elite, but even a few who were considered freaks were there. No matter what type of person, if you were good enough, there was a place on the top for you — just for the taking. Honor Division Page 351 Staters play in the House By DON NEUBAUM The best way to learn about something you don’t understand is by experiencing it first hand. That is exactly the principle that Boys’ and Girls’ State was based upon. Hundreds of students from around the state were enlightened in the complicated process of state legislation. They sat in on meetings, attended workshops, and had the chance to pass bills just like real state representatives. During their stay in Tallahassee, the students were housed and fed on the FSU campus. The boys went at the expense of the American Legion, and the girls at the expense of the Ladies Auxiliary. Girls’ State took place the week before Boys’ State did. The four girls who represented us were Laura Cassels, Lisa Blyshak, Karen Chamberlin, and Stephanie Einhaus. Stephanie was elected House Speaker pro tempore, and Karen ' s bill to regulate gas prices on the turnpike was the first bill to pass during the session. Eleven Clearwater boys fought the heat of a July day on a sweltering bus ride to the state capital. “We stopped at a McDonald ' s in Crystal River and the bus wouldn’t start again because it was overheated. We sat in the sun for about an hour before we finally got going,’’ said Rick Moore. But once they got there, the excitement began. “They kept us going every day from 6 a. m. to 1 2 or 1 at night. But strangely enough, you didn’t feel tired, because you were so excited about the day’s event,” said Penn Dawson. Like most schools food, the FSU cafeteria was less than appetizing. We couldn’t figure out if what we were eating was watery meatloaf or stiff chocolate pudding, but the experience and knowledge gained made up for the food and long hours,” said Penn. “Boys’ State was just as much of a fun experience as a learning one. We learned the principles of state legislation and the workings of our American government,” said Brooks Goodgame. On the ride home, two guys had to sit on the luggage rack because the bus was so crowded,” said Rick Moore. But to pass the time Staters” rehashed memories and experiences of the past week and stored the knowledge gained for use in the future.

This seemed especially true with the German National Honor Society, but they tried to change that. “We tried to get more involvement by upgrading our activities and functions,” said Kathy Savige, president of the club. We also tried to improve our in-school reputation.” They did this several different ways. Before Homecoming, they decorated X- wing to raise school spirit. In order to raise funds, they took orders for candy canes. the week before Christmas break and delivered them the last day before the holidays. A doughnut sale was also planned for late in the year. The money they earned from the various sales was put in a special scholarship or student aid fund. The money was awarded to any German student who wished to continue his German studies. The club members got together several times during the year just to socialize and have a good time. A Christmas party, a post-semester exams party and an occasional trip to the Pizza Parlour were just a few of the activities. They also played soccer after school several days a week. All this in hopes of encouraging more students to be members. The main difference between German National Honor Society and the German Club is qualifications. A three semester German student must have a 3.8 in German and a 3.0 overall. “We are a more selective club, so our members are more honored and proud to be associated with us,” said Kathy. So as the year progressed, the German National Honor Society became more involved in school activities, trying to become the club no longer forgotten.

AThe best part of learning about another culture is testing the food. Angel Lafita, Karen Chamberlin, George Haber, and Rick Moore all have different opinions about Spanish cuisine. Language leads to cultural curiosity By SUSAN HENDERSON The accomplishment of being able to com municate with people of a different culture. Learning a different language — learning the ways of the people who speak it. The Spanish language has many surprising aspects, enticing to anyone who learned. For excelling students, there is an organization that exposes them to more in-depth instruction. The Spanish Honor Society develops linguistics and rewards fine accomplishments. Made up of third-year Spanish students, the society made arrangements for the housing of Argentinian exchange students. An active member of the society, George Haber, feels “the exchange program is a very good opportunity for Americans and Argentinians alike. It is a good experience.” Another adventure is the Florida Spanish convention where the students mix with other society members from the state. Besides educational projects, they have participated in other activities such as the Homecoming parade and the decoration of the halls. In the hall competition they ranked in the top five. As George put it, “We are starting to participate in activities in the school that we haven’t been in before.” The chance for new discoveries. Different cultures make the learning more appealing. The Spanish Honor Society expands knowledge by rewarding its members with the added factor of the honor society distinction. Spanish Honor Society.

I’m way behind in Math 5 and Chemistry II because of yearbook deadline.” Many such conversations went on between members of the National Honor Society, a club which recognized juniors with 3.7 grade point averages, and seniors with 3.5 averages. Contrary to popular belief, scholastic ability is not the only criterion for membership. Scholastic ability is only one of the four points members must meet. The other three are service to school, leadership, and character. Our National Honor Society Seniors; (Front Row) Celia Sunne, Allen Foley, Greg Paulus, Kathy Duhan, Pam Nelson, Tami Dangler.

We do not let any one overshadow the others,” explained sponsor Helen Wilcox. Sponsor Steele agreed. After new members were inducted during a candlelight ceremony in November, the membership rose to 80 students. Led by their faithful officers, the group planned many activities. In order to assist the school, members agreed to help out Principal Chuck Williams by handing out certificates to students who made the honor roll and dean’s list. The certificates were given out by the county. It was a big job, as over 50% of CHS students made the list. During Christmas vacation, members got together to go caroling. They met in the school parking lot, and organized a car pool. Jay Kelly handed out maps that led the way to four nursing homes. The caravan got under way.

One of the most distinguished honors is election to the Hall of Fame. The members for Hall of Fame were chosen from nominations by teachers who were then given a ballot with all 43 nominees names on it. Teachers considered grades, leadership, and effort in art, athletics, music, drama, journalism, clubs, student government, and other activities. The top 16 votegetters were declared members of the 1 980 CHS Hall of Fame. Celia Sunne Being an editor of a newspaper is a big job for anyone. When a good job was done, the entire staff was flooded with compliments, but if something went wrong the editor was the first person to go down under. When decisions had to be made the editor was alone in a rough sea, but Clearlight editor Celia Sunne was able to wade through it all. During her first two years of high school, Celia was on the swim team, but after her decision to devote her time to Clearlight, Celia chose to quit the team. This dedication to the paper is the reason why she was entrusted with the duties of editor. Many of her editorials in the Clearlight reflected her revolutionary side. She was the kind of person who would immediately take a stand on any issue — anytime, anywhere. The mention of a quarter pounder with cheese brought an instant reaction of explaining how terrible it was for you. She vows, “I’ll never put that junk in my body.” She was referring to any kind of meat. Because of her herbivorous way of life, many of her friends brought her any parsley that accumulated on their plates during lunch. So when she got into a disagreement about nutrition or a problem with Clearlight, Celia usually got her way, never once transmitting an S.O.S. 358 Hall of Fame n nrs Doug Soltis Grade point average was not the only way a student got a good reputation among students and teachers. Good athletes also received school wide acclaim. T his was made apparent by Doug Soltis. Not only was he widely known around school, but also among swimmers around the country. During the All-American Invitational held in Austin in January, Doug finished third, finishing behind Matt Rye — a 20 year old swimmer from UCLA and John Hencken — a 1 976 Olympic gold medalist. Doug, like John, has aspirations of winning a gold medal in the Olympics. His goal is to be the best swimmer in the world. As captain of our swimming team, he holds three state titles; the 100 meter breaststroke, the 200 meter individual relay, and he was a member of the state championship medley relay team. Along with these accomplishments, Doug was the owner of two state records; one in the breaststroke and the other in the individual elay. His time in the latter event was the sixth best in the country. This national recognition made him one of the most respected students on campus. Mike Hall Key Club has always been one of the more influential clubs on campus. Because of President Mike Hall’s enthusiasm and devotion to the club this year, they became an even stronger power. Mike was what one might call an all-round athlete. He played four years of football and was a member of the track team during his first three years of school. He also played basketball during his freshman and sophomore years. Mike even managed to find time to play on the baseball team during his last year of school. Mike, as well as other students in this Hall of Fame, was a representative at Boys ' State this past summer. But out of all his activities, Mike seemed to concentrate on Key Club, giving it all he had. Jeff Ledbetter Although many people excel in specific sports, some athletes have the ability to play more than one sport. Jeff Ledbetter is one of these mutiple gifted athletes. Although he was mainly known for his quarterback abilities, Jeff was also a fine basketball player. When injuries to key players hit the basketball team, Jeff played an extremely vital part in the Tornadoes’ game plan. Instead of just being a regular starter, Jeff became the team’s playmaker and leading scorer after Mike Brittain’s injury. Jeff was the team’s leading scorer and rebounder throughout most of the season. Jeff also added baseball to his list of m varsity sports. He pitched for the Tornadoes after the basketball season was over. From the first week of school all the way through April, Jeff Ledbetter’s feats were always in the sports section of the newspaper. Hall of Fame 359 Jeff Cleg horn Start talking about French, Spanish or any other foreign language and the subject of conjugation or noun gender always seemed to pop up. Even German was loaded with these dastardly duos.” Jeff Cleghorn was able to communicate extremely well in German. Jeff studied German all four years he was in high school. He was a two year member of the German Club and a two year member of the German National Honor Society. GNHS considered grades in German as well as academic standing in other classes. His overall grades were so good that he was also in the National Honor Society for two years. He was also a delegate to Boys’ State. But Jeff was probably best known for being a trumpet player in the marching band. Under the hot summer sun, Jeff practiced with the rest of the band nearly every afternoon, and put this practice to use on the football field during halftime. With all his German studies, it was surprising that his trumpet music never turned into a polka. Stephanie Einhaus It was always hard to pick a team’s most valuable player, especially when everybody worked equally hard in practice. The same idea goes into picking the Cheerleader of the Year. Ten dedicated girls — everyone of them deserving the honor. But through it all, Stephanie Einhaus seemed to shine above the rest. Stephanie was also active in the National Forensic League, where she served as secretary of the chapter. She also was one of the four girls who attended Girls’ State. She was elected Speaker pro tempore of the Hou se during the one week field trip. Keyettes was another of Stephanie’s activities. She was also instrumental in the planning of many of the activities she was involved in. V M Lisa Blyshak The audience was alive with the sound of applause at the end of the 1 979 spring musical. The Sound of Music. The applause grew into an uproar with the curtain call of the star, Lisa Blyshak. Best known for her role of Maria, Lisa continued to achieve success in a wide range of activities. Singing played a big part in her life and this was what brought her to the International Thespian Society. But this did not keep her from her involvement in Windsong.” She achieved honors by being elected Keyette president in her senior year. She also was on the sidelines at every football game, functioning as a Stat. girl. She could also be found in A- 2 during sixth period, diligently working on the Clearlight. The summer before her senior year, Lisa was one of Clearwater’s representatives at Girls’ State. In between all her activities, she still found time to excel in academics, which was proved by her membership in the National Honor Society. Obviously, Lisa’s life was very much alive with the sound of action.” k Ct 360 Hall of Fame Nn K. Miller K. Miller Robert Muldrow Like so many of the members of Hall of Fame, Robert Muldrow had the ability to devote much time to difficult activities. Robert was a member of the Chess Club during his first two years of school, and involved in the Math Club during his junior year. He was also an active member of the Key Club during his senior year. Robert was also one of our representatives at Boys’ State in Tallahassee. Yet another honor Robert received was his membership in the NHS, which came in his junior year and continued throughout the rest of his high school years. But during these last two years, Robert still found time for a sport. He was an active, valuable player on the baseball team for two years. All these activities kept him going, and he still found the time to excel in academics. Scott Forseth If there was anybody at this school who could possibly become President of the United States, Scott Forseth would have been the logical choice. Scott was extremely active in all levels of student government. During his las t three years of school, Scott served on the Student Council. He was treasurer in his junior year, and was elected president as a senior. He was a spokesman on the county Student Rights and Responsibilities Committee as a student representative at PTSA meetings. Scott was extremely fluent in the Spanish language. This fluency led him to membership on the Spanish National Honor Society in his last three years of high school. He was always there to show the Argentine exchange students around town during their stay in Clearwater. Scott, who was known to many as Scooter, was also a member of the National Honor Society. He also earned membership in the International Thespian Society for his backstage help at many of the school plays. If Scott ever runs for the U.S. presidency his diversified talents will certainly win him many votes. Penn Dawson The word art can be used to include many areas. If speaking, acting, writing and drawing are considered various forms of art, then Penn Dawson must be considered an artist. The multi-talented Penn is well-acquainted with all of the above fields. His “Men from S.C.U.M.” and “Igor of the U.S.S.R. were two of his cartoons that regularly appeared in the Clearlighi, along with other various drawings. Penn was also an active member of the debate club, National Forensic League, as well as the Key Club. He served as the Key Club vice- president and the emcee of the E-jello-cution.” But perhaps the activity he will be most remembered for was his appearance in the fall play, The Hounds of Baskerville. Penn played the part of the infallible inspector, Sherlock Holmes. Many people had talents that they did not use, but Penn channeled his talents in all directions, using them to his utmost ability. Hall of Fame 361 Tracy Burney Most football and basketball players had special names for everyone on the team. Lorenzo Collins was Hubba,” Kevin Gregorcyk was ‘‘Mole Man,” but to everyone, Tracy Burney was simply “Gut.” Tracy was active in the two biggest sports, basketball and football. He played football for the last three years of high school, and also played on the basketball team. He was manager for this team during his senior year. In his junior year, Tracy decided to run for a position on the junior class student council. With the slogan, ‘‘Put a little color in your student council,” he quickly became the vice-president. He also was a two-year member of the Key Club. His outgoing, explosive personality made him win many friends on campus who simply called him “Gut.” Lisa Beck Running played a big part of of Lisa Beck’s life. She wasn ' t running from anything, she was just moving along? Many offers from colleges flooded in her mail because of her successes in cross-country. These offers led her to the decision of going to a college she would receive a scholarship from, rather than struggle to pay for an education on her own. Lisa’s accomplishments on the cross-country team were quite amazing. She finished first in the conference, district and regional meets before placing third in the state meet. Even if the awards, the recognition, or the spirit of competition were not present, she would still run because of the personal satisfaction. When she wasn’t running, Lisa could be found working on the Clearlight. She enjoyed writing articles and doing page layouts and was leaning toward a career in journalism. Most of Lisa’s time was spent running, she was just striding dpwn the road toward a future that would hopefully help her move along. Kevin Grzegorczyk In football, offensive and defensive linemen were modern day gladiators. To be successful on the defensive line, one must have strength as well as size. Kevin Grzegorczyk certainly filled both of these requirements. Because of the football team’s emphasis on weight training during the summer, Kevin added much strength to his body. This strength came in handy when he tried to break into the backfield to pull down an opposing player. But strength can be measured mentally also. An excellent math student, Kevin was on the Math team during his sophomore and junior year. Math was not his only strong subject, as was proved by his membership in the National Honor Society during his senior year. Physically and mentally, Kevin did a great job of pulling his weight. 362 Hall of Fame Laura Cassels Being a member of the swim team was like having a partime job. Many after school hours were spent at Bobby Walker Pool, thus eliminating much free time. When Laura Cassels was at the pool though, she was not there to soak up rays, she was there to work out. Laura has been on the swim team for four years, and has many outstanding times recorded in the book. But the swimming team did not take up all of her time, as she was also involved in the Fellowship of Christian athletes during her junior and senior year. But sports was not the entire essence of her life either. Laura managed to have time to be a member of the very active Keyette Club during her final year. It would seem that all of this activity would be quite enough, but Laura was also given the honor of being inducted into the National Honor Society. This privilege also came during her senior year. Laura ' s activities ranged from athletics to academics, and yet she somehow managed to excel in them all. Karen Chamberlin Everybody had his or her own stereotype of the typical American cheerleader. Many of Karen Chamberlin’s accomplishments in her four years of high school were tailor made for this honor section, since she was a member of the Aqua Clara staff during her sophomore and junior year, and also a member of the Quill and Scroll honor society. Her fluency in Spanish made her vice-president of the Spanish Honor Society. Her interest in politics led her on a trip to Tallahassee for Girls ' State, and excellent grades in every subject made her a member of the National Honor Society. With honors like Karen had, one would not imagine she was a cheerleader, but she somehow managed to work all of these activities into her extremely busy schedule. Jeff Hall A first impression of a person is everlasting. One can immediately tell what kind of person they have just met by a quick conversation. The first impression of Jeff Hall was always a good one, and it proved to be accurate. Although he was extremely active in many projects and sports, Jeff was never one to flaunt his accomplishments. He was a soft- spoken guy who always stopped to talk to his many acquaintances . Most of his high school years were spent practicing and playing two sports. Basketball season started early in the year and ended in March. At this time he joined the baseball team, to which he devoted the rest of the year. But sports was not Jeff’s only activity. His respect from teachers earned him the opportunity to travel to Tallahassee for Boys ' State. Key Club members also showed their respect by electing him treasurer of the club. The talk of his accomplishments must have come from someone other than Jeff, because he wasn’t the kind to announce his achievements.

Albers. ► Gaining national prominence By DON NEUBAUM and SUSAN HENDERSON In a fairly good sized town, a visit from a personality is something that is definitely in the news. In a town such as Clearwater, in a school such as CHS, a visit was certainly something to talk about. Whether it was small town or a national exposure, CHS welcomed its visitors. With the many problems of the new single sessions, a number of articles were run in local newspapers. Early hours, the lunch program, and the problem of overcrowding brought many interested parents and School Board members to our malls. Gov. Bob Graham visited to inspect the many maintenance problems that plagued the school. But the visits from dignitaries were not all for problems. The television documentary program 20 20 taped interviews with the students in the Community Leadership Program. The students in the program had the opportunity to work side by side with professional people like lawyers and politicians. Few schools in the country had programs similar to the one here at CHS. Although she didn’t come to our school, Rosalyn Carter made a special appearance in Clearwater. She helped the Comprehensive Mental Health Service open up their office on Belcher Road. During her appearance, the Tornado Band entertained Mrs. Carter. As time passes, the area known as Clearwater will continue to grow, and with its growth, it will gain more and more national prominence. 20 20 director prepares the Community £ Leadership Program students for the interview % taping. ► d 364 Visitors Deserving credit for all the hard work By GLENN GUENTHER Throughout the year the ROTC cadets here have performed many tasks. Friday nights saw the Color Guard opened the football and basketball games. The Drill Team executed complicated maneuvers in the Christmas and Fun-Sun Parades, and just made an overall contribution to the school and society. Cadet Major John Hynds was this year’s company commander. During his four years in ROTC, John has participated in the Color Guard, Rifle Team, Physical Fitness Team and Drill Team. This year he was the Drill Team Commander. During the first seven weeks of school, John had to act as the Military Instructor until Lt. Colonel Ralph Moody found Sgt. Paul Currie to replace Sgt. Major Troy Hamm. What came from all of John’s dedication and hard work? He was presented by the Reserve Officers Association with the Outstanding Cadet Award and a $50 savings bond. “I ' ll probably go into the Georgia Military Academy after high school, on an Army scholarship, said John. Another person to receive an award was Cadet First Lieutenant John Labus, a senior. He received one of the Distinguished Military Training Awards sponsored by the Commandant of the Marine Corps. I’ve been working hard last year and this, but I didn’t expect an award. John acted as the physical fitness team commander. The two Johns were not the only rotzies to receive awards. Many others also received recognition. Cadet staff Sergeant Billy Nelson was awarded the Fleet Reserve Association Plaque for the Most Improved Cadet. All of the rotzies” deserved credit for their hard work. ACadet Major John Hynds, who was presented the Most Outstanding Cadet Award, displays the curriculum chart of all the hours spent in each area of study.

ROTC Awards 365 CHAMPS: By DON NEUBAUM Practice, training, struggling, straining — always trying to improve yourself. Never content being second best. Striving towards the top. Yet it seems few people appreciate your devotion and dedication. Sometimes you may ask yourself, “Why am I doing this” or What good will all this time do?” The long hours seem futile, unproductive. But you keep putting yourself through vigorous training sessions for one reason — to be working hard to better their best better than you already are. It takes a special kind of person to spend several hours a day, every day of the year on a certain skill or sport. When you put all those hours into action and finally succeeded, few were there to congratulate you. It seemed as if you were only competing for yourself. With a school as large as ours, many great athletic feats went unknown to the majority of the student body. Records were broken, championships were won, and qualifications were made — yet most went on, unnoticed. Doug Soltis “No strain, no pain, no gain.” That was the motto of All-American Doug Soltis and many other swimmers who strove for excellence. Doug trained five-six hours each day, six days a week to improve his times. He put enough effort into his practices to earn a spot in the Olympic trials for the 100-yard breaststroke. He qualified for the trials by covering the 100-yard in 57.35 seconds. Doug said, Dedication is the key to a swimmer’s success.” He was dedicated enough to put himself through a great deal of pain to improve and hopefully become, in his own words, “the world’s | best.” x s Lisa Beck They say that records were made to be broken, but it takes hard work and perfect conditions. The weather, your opponents, desire and general atmosphere all play a big part. The conditions were almost perfect for Lisa Beck at the State Cross Country Meet in DeLand. After finishing first in the conference, district and regional meets, Lisa had one more step to become the states best. She needed to be at her best on the day of the State Meet. Although she broke the school record with an 1 1:15, she placed third in the state, which was quite an achievement. “All the work you put into it equals the amount you get out of it,” Lisa concluded. 366 Awards Shawn Young In a sport that has been called “human chess,” Shawn Young was a master of the board. After competing in several preliminary tournaments, Shawn finished second in the AAU Junior National Olympics held in Lincoln, Nebraska. Currently, Shawn is 12-0 in high school competition and he has two goals in mind. First, I want to beat this guy in Tampa who has been State Champion three years in a row. Second, I hope to get a scholarship and do well in college. I’d also like to make it to the Olympic trials, and eventually be on the 1 984 Olympic team. Shawn has not gotten to the top by chance. Five years of hard work, practice and training gave him the moves to checkmate his opponents. Much time spent — not all in vain By DON NEUBAUM It started in the spring and continued until the jamboree in May. Then it started again under the hot August sun for two- a-days and was eventually cut down to one-a-days while school was in session. Yes, football players had to practice quite a bit. Many non-footballers felt all this time was a waste. But was it? Three footballers — Keith Lester, Jeff Ledbetter, and Joe Good — received full four-year scholarships. Keith and Jeff from Florida State, and Joe from the University of Florida. With the high cost of college, the time consumed by long practices seemed to pay off. Jeff Ledbetter, Joe Good and Keith Lester sign their scholarships as Coach John Nicely watches with pride. Keith Lester, the only player to be unanimously chosen to the All-District team, was the Tornadoes leading receiver. He was also the only player from Pinellas county to be named to the 4-A All-State team, where he was a second team choice. ‘‘Keith is possibly the best blocker to ever attend CHS. He’s an excellent major college prospect and could possibly be a professional football player, said varsity Coach John Nicely. Keith was a prime target of the All- District quarterback Jeff Ledbetter. ‘‘Jeff is probably one of the finest all-around athletes to ever attend CHS. I ' m looking forward to watching him play at Florida State,” said Coach Nicely. Snapping the ball to Jeff was another member of the All-District team, Joe Good. ‘‘Joe is a good all-around center. I feel he will have a fine career for the Gators,” said Coach Nicely. Nicely continued by saying, “As a group they are three of the finest prospects that any college coach could possibly want. These three put a lot of time and energy into practice, and it was time well spent. After all, their futures certainly look bright. 368 Football Scholarships A Keith Lester heads back to the huddle after another successful reception of a “long bomb.” This is one of the few times that Aqua Clara and Clearlight members of Quill and Scroll got together.

Members for the Quill and Scroll were chosen by academic average and journalistic contribution to the publications staffs. For the first time in many years, the Quill and Scroll had initiation for new members. One of the clubs goals was to raise money to buy items that the two staffs needed. The end-of-the-year picture sale was one way the Quill and Scroll traditionally raised money. Last year, many of the pictures were stolen, but this year, the group tightened up the security so no pictures could be ripped off.

Once the problem was realized, the real conflict started. Between class traffic flows along with a little more elbow room.y A year of renovations By SUSAN HENDERSON Transition is the difference in what things start out to be and how they wind up. In the beginning there were lockers in E and F mall. In the end, they were relocated. At the start, there was a shortage of parking places. At the end, the problem was somewhat solved. Some things started out as efficient arrangements but soon became part of the problem — and in 1979-80, the problem was too many people. The year wound up with many renovations relieving problems but changing the campus. In the fall, there were more classes than classrooms until a ghetto” of eight portables was created west of the P.A. building. Overcrowding also caused the bumping and bruising of travelers in the E and F mall. The obstacles of lockers emerging from the walls made the journey from one end to another virtually impossible without some sort of violent push or shove. With the relocation of lockers to A, B, C and D malls, the congestion was resolved. But the worst renovations of all were the forced touchup jobs. Destructive pranks done by vandals made the maintenance crew unhappy by the need for extended working hours. Under-the- breath comments could be heard mumbled from the mouths of unhappy workers. Plant operator George Polinski exclaimed, “Do you believe this? I could be home watching the Superbowl,” as he mended broken windows on Super Sunday.” The night before vandals had The sun and air of a beautiful day did not slip by the Aqua Clara staff.

Other destructive incidents included burning of lockers, a pig’s head and tombstone in the swimming pool, and excrement in the bookkeeper’s office. All in all, the transition wound up the year looking different from when it started. 374 Wind Up The power of the U.S. suffered with the loss of the Vietnam War while our dignity was offended by the realization that others were starving as we dieted. Such were the traumas of the satiated t seventies, not as bad as the Depression, but just as hard to digest. The only way to overcome them was to swallow, and nourish the new chances of the 80s. It seemed that everyone was fighting for a cause. Whether for political or personal reasons, they fought to the literal conclusion of death. Vietnam snatched the lives of 47, 1 92 fighting men. Terrorists haunted more than political figures but also everyday individuals. Newspaper millionaire’s daughter Patty Hearst became the most public captive in the world when the Simbionese Liberation Army abducted her from her safe niche in society. She only proved more mysterious as she succumbed to the idealogy of her kidnappers. ! Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics were stricken in a fight for attention from the Palestine Liberation Organization. Student demonstrators against the Vietnam War were shot by the National Guard at Kent State. The four who died were protesting for their personal beliefs and the question of blame for their deaths was debated until long after the end of the war. Technological progress ranged from the test-tube baby to Tampa Airport. Skylab mainly succeeded, but upset a nervous world with a fiery return. Still wherever there was progress, there was the flavor of competition. Starvation continued to be a problem for many destitute countries. In Thailand, Sa Kaew, a young Cambodian mother holds her baby in her arms as she waits in line outside one of the hospitals at a Cambodian refugee camp. Her small child was pronounced dead by the time she reached medical help.Y Getting away from dwindling on the past, making it through the clouded future, realizing for the 80’s . . .

Through the 70s, three men held power in the Oval Office: Richard M. Nixon from ' 69 to ' 74, Gerald R. Ford from ' 74 to ' 76 and Jimmy Carter from ’77 into the 80s — with a hope for a second term. With the start of the new decade, voters had yet another choice to make on who should head our country. The 70s were frequently known as the Me Generation.” That egotism was the source of many of our problems. Shortages ranged from oil, gas, meat and paper, to even money. Hoarders scrambled to be the first in line to get their share of each. Gas lines became common, as did rationing plans and “No Gas” signs. But wherever there were leaders, there were supporters who looked up to and pushed them along. Sports had their share of succeeders with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers losing at last the “losers label.” The Superbowl went once more to the Pittsburgh Steelers who rolled over the Los Angeles Rams.

The nuclear Welcome a new decade with hope and ope n arms By SUSAN HENDERSON Along with the sparklers and noise- makers came the anticipation of the new year. Celebrations from Times Square in New York to Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco, gave the 70s a wave goodbye and the 80s a welcome with extended open arms. But what was the reason behind all of the competition of celebrations? At a time when approximately 50 Americans were being held as hostages in an American Embassy in Iran, and when talk of reinstating the registration of 1 9 and 20 year olds for the draft began to arise — what was the reason for celebration? Certainly not the progression of civilization? Surely mankind seemed too far advanced to quarrel over equal rights. In the 70s however, equality for women became an issue, with the continuation of ERA. Abortion was declared legal by the Supreme Court in 1973, and John Spenkelink went to the Florida electric chair in punishment for taking the life of an innocent person.

Muhammed AN, homerun King Hank Aaron, Bjorn Borg, Chris Evert-Loyd, Nadia Comenci, Olga Korbut, seven gold medal winner Mark Spitz, and five gold medal winner Eric Heiden, all captured super titles. The future of the environment provided reasons for alarm with concern concentrating on aerosol sprays, aluminum cans, recycled paper, black lung disease in Kentucky coal mines, and the issue of nuclear power plants at Three Mile Island. Citizens gathered, displaying concern for their own communities and country. Congress’ Environmental Policy Act, passed in the 70s, gave communities an open invitation to challenge any development. With the end of the somewhat grim looking 70s came encouragement for the chance to make things better. With hope and open arms we welcomed a new decade, celebrating the opportunity to forget about our old endeavors and have another shot in the 80s. 378 Wind Up the people.
