About the coat of arms . . . After the editors decided to have a coat of arms on the cover, their research led them to find that CHS had no official coat of arms. A committee was formed to design a coat of arms that reflected all aspects of our school, and the result is on the cover. The lamps of knowledge stand for our academic curriculum, the lyre illustrates our fine arts and extra-curricular activities, the winged foot represents our sports program, and last, the tornado shows our school’s mascot and pride. About the theme . . . It seems as if more changes than ever occurred this year which affected CHS and its students. Some of the changes which involved the school directly were the new graduation requirements, the new shop and ad- ministration buildings, and the new game field. Other changes occurred in the community and only indirect- ly affected CHS, such as the new Clearwater Public Library and the additions to the Morton Plant Hospital. After noting all of the changes that occurred, it was obvious that our theme should reflect all of this, show- ing how, despite the changes, we were still the same unique CHS on the Inside.

Indeed, with the administration still operating out of Cl and Dl, it looked like the building would nev- er be ready for the stu- dents. But somehow, even with the major changes in the struc- ture, a brand new ad- ministration building, extensive remodeling of the home-ec and sci- ence wings, and despite the fact that the new shop building wasn’t finished until October, the 35 year old building was ready for the 2,251 students who showed up on August 26, and none of the rumors came true. Structural changes weren’t the only obsta- cles students had to overcome during the first few days. Not only were the freshmen lost as they walked through the halls, but the upper- classmen who walked into familiar rooms, found new teachers and classes in them.

Now the teachers can share books, AV equipment, and materials without much moving,” said English Department Chairman Mrs. Joyce Parker. In spite of all these changes, everyone quickly settled into the real business at hand; going to classes, joining sports teams and clubs, and socializ- ing with riends.

People were them- selves individuals. “A lot of people don’t al- ways agree with me, but I do what I want to do, not what everyone else is doing, and thinks I should do also,” stated Rima Nassar. Many unique things happened to people. For example, Scott McQuigg had a chance to meet with President Ronald Reagan, after waiting for many years. Also, Jodi Collins was named All-American Cheerleader, and had a chance to cheer in the Hula Bowl in Hawaii during Christmas vaca- tion. It looked like a year of confusion, but a compo- sure consisting eq ually of fun and seriousness was finally found. And, everyone began to fit into CHS on the Inside.

I went down to the beach instead and just cruised around for awhile. There was hardly anyone down there; I guess they were all at the concerts or something.” Students always had something to do with their time. Many people enjoyed going to Clear- water Beach at night as well as during the day. This allowed time to just relax and socialize with friends, playing video games, listening to the band at the Surf- side, or just sitting in one of the parking lots listening to the radio. Another activity which took up a lot of many students’ free time was jobs. With gas being over $1.00 a gal- lon, a movie costing $4.00, and a Whopper at Burger King costing $1.57, many students needed jobs for extra spending money for their free time. While some students could be found at just about every concert that came into the Bay Area, others were inter- ested in different activi- ties. Students who en- joyed boating or other water sports could be found at the Kahula Cup Competition. Homecoming week. October 21-25, also pro- vided students with ac- tivities. These included Tornado Tales on Thurs- day night, during which the Homecoming Queen, Michelle Da- Mattia, was announced. During Tornado Tales, professional comedian, Sinbad, also performed as a special guest. Fri- day night was the foot- ball game, which was followed by a video dance. These activities gave students things to do during their free time and helped them be- come part of CHS on the inside. V Student Life Division 7 by Carrie McLaren S enior week. Prom. Gradu- ation.

Our biggest tur- nout was when we were voting for either a band or a deejay.” The traditional Se- nior Week began on May 6 with sophistica- tion day. The class breakfast at the Countryside Country Club followed on Tues- day. On Thursday came the poolside social where the seniors ate lunch and signed year- books out by the pool. On Friday they spent 6th and 7th periods in the auditorium for the annual senior talent show. Doctor Octopus, a student band led by Phil Yureka, played their original number, “Jamaican Rhapsody.” After all final exams had been taken and the halls of Clearwater High were enveloped in silence, the class of 1985 gathered for the last time in Jack White stadium. While the stu- dents slowly made their way around the track, the band per- formed. The seniors had come to graduate. Class valedictorian Ke- vin Wilks and ’85 SGA president Arthur Ru- bin all spoke their final words of wisdom unto the eager class. Princi- pal Bill Williamson handed diplomas to the seniors who strode by alphabetically led by National Honor Society members. As the two and a half hour cere- mony drew to a close, principal Ed Evans spoke his final words to the class. A barage of red caps whirled into the air. The class em- braced one another. Many boarded busses for the 1st annual pro- ject graduation at Busch Gardens, desig- nated as an alternative to an alcohol-induced evening after gradu- ation. When the even- ing was finally over, one senior was heard saying habitually, “See you Monday, Julie,” be- fore realizing other- wise. Graduation was the pay-off for four years of hard work. The seniors wait anxiously for the end of the ceremony to board buses for Project Graduation in Busch Gar- dens. 8 End of ’85 One of (he biggest decisions the 1985 junior class faced was the decision to hire a deejay rather than have a live band perform at prom. Valer- ie Anderson and Steve Cass dance to the top 40 music the deejay provided. On June 6, the class of 1985 assembled in lack White Sta- dium to graduate. Through- out the ceremony, class vale- dictorian Kevin Wilks, salu- tatorian Mike Turner, and principal Mr. Bill Williamson spoke their words of wisdom and advice to the class.

While the un- prepared grew insane due to the swamp of spare time, most stu- dents took the time in stride and reaped the benefits of a fun and practical summer. BSome students sought part time jobs. Jobs consumed a great portion of summer .tiine and provided the financial benefits many students needed to get through the school year. “It helps keep gas in the car dur- ing the school year,” said junior Amy Gresh- am. “You don’t have time for a job when school is going on.” In addition, students’ paychecks frequently supplied the funds for school clothes, a first car, or savings for col- lege. Most jobs pro- vided students with the minimum wage of $3.35 per hour. Students also jour- neyed on vacations and trips during the sum- mer. CHS students from Calvary Baptist Church went with their youth group on a ten day choir tour to New York. The Trinity Presbyterian oy out h group members worked in Tennessee and South Carolina for a week in August on the Appalachian Ser- vice Project. There they mended ceilings, dug ditches, and built houses for the migrants in Appalachia. “Of course, we had a great time and met new peo- ple,” commented Trin- ity member taura Lar- son, “but the most im- portant thing I got out of the experience was that it really made me appreciate how fortu- nate I am.” Certain students at- tended academically oriented trips as well, such as the yearbook staff’s convention in Charlotte, North Caro- lina and Student Gov- ernment’s state compe- tition in Tallahassee. Seniors set off to visit potential college cam- puses to get a sense of the atmosphere. “It’s just like the brochures say,” said senior Mark Walkup. “You can’t get the real flavor of the school until you visit it. It also helps you deter- mine your strengths and accept your weak- nesses.” Other students chose to spend the summer absorbed in their hob- by. Surfers flocked to the shores. Cheer- leaders and band mem- bers attended camps for self improvement. Football team mem- bers worked to keep in shape and practice skills. Creative indi- viduals took the time to redecorate their bed- rooms or complete any number of tasks. Of course, sleeping and just plain relaxing played an important summer role, but mak- ing the most of the time was the key. After all, it wasn’t before long that August 26th rolled around and students were left wondering, “What happened to summer?” ummer chedules eeping busy chases away boredom blues Summer 1 1 Cheerleaders spent nearly every fall Friday night cheer- ing for the football games. Varsity cheerleader Susan Coleman talks to Peter Sloan during half-time. Police officers frequently patrol the beach area at night in order to deter teenage loi- tering. Ron Delnlly, Jonna Nicely, and Mandy Lickert socialize in front of the Holi- day Inn Surfside without conflict. During the fall, a group of upperclassmen plundered the airport in search for fun. Tony Simotes, Brad Long, John Marshall, Canon Cole- man, Danny Martucci, Konny Hayslotto, and Andy Burwell harrass a ticket clerk. 12 Nightlife by Carrie McLaren T he last place anyone wanted to be on a Fri- day afternoon was sit- ting behind a wooden desk listening to a slowly greying, knowl- edgeable adult carrying on endlessly about the importance of the mito- chondrion in the organ- ic world. But when the 2:34 bell finally rang, its music enticed the school-sick into a chal- lenge of a different sort: how to spend their evening. During their seasons, football and basketball games drew a huge crowd who came to re- lieve themselves from the stress of classroom silence and move the ground below with their roars. After games, the crowds tended towards the beach. Groups as- sembled in front of the Holiday Inn Surfside and north along Man- dalay Ave. to Crystal Palace to socialize and meet others. “It could be a lot better if there weren’t police officers around arresting ev- eryone,” observed Paul Lowes. Often times, stu- dents preferred to do something aside from the generic evening ac- tivities. During fall, a group of upperclass- men including Scott Flesch, John Marshall, Andy Burwell, Brad Long, Tony Simotes, Canon Coleman, and Danny Martucci jour- neyed to Tampa airport to greet incoming trav- elers, ride trams, and annoy ticket clerks. Paul Larson, an airport fanatic, has also found the site to be a place for amusement. “I love it when you go through the metal detector and the beeper goes off,” said Paul. “Everyone looks at you like you ' re a communist hijacker.” Those who preferred to spend their evening hours dancing often pa- tronized Skyfeathers, a local teen nightclub. The three room ware- house attracted mainly a new wave crowd who congregated primarily due to similar interests. Students who opted to dance but disliked the atmosphere at Sky- feathers were left with few outlets. Occasion- ally, dance bands per- formed nearby con- certs, but teens couldn’t depend on them as a regular activ- ity. As a result, they de- pended on school dances, parties, and their own innovations. “Some girlfriends and I were coming back across the causeway from the beach,” relat- ed Wendy Marich, when we decided that we HAD to dance. It was too late to go any- where so we pulled movies, and restau- rants, played an impor- tant part in nightlife for the students. Most agreed, however, that the most memorable times were spontane- As the sun goes down, the quest for fun begins into the Maas Brothers parking lot, blared the radio, and danced on the car through several songs.

And, after all, isn’t that the way it should have been? During football games, the crowds are famous for their rowdiness, particularly at the south end of the stadium. M You can see the E section all the way from the opposite end of the field, said one band auxiliary. T. Deifell Nightlife 13 As the night progresses, stu- dents often migrate to the beach.

Dur- ing summer, students flocked to the beaches led to the subconscious divisions of the beach into three separate re- gions: Way Up North Beach The area up north past Mandaly Towers S eparate | hores each regions provide individual atmospheres to maintain a healthy suntan and socialize. However, not all areas of the beach looked the same. The various crowds that patronized the beach eventually to Carlouel Yacht Club wasn’t exactly an abundance of activity. In between the handful of homeowners and se- nior citizens scattered along the area, a few 1 4 Beach student sunbathers could be found. These students preferred to avoid the crowds, noise, and small chil- dren feeding seagulls that came along with the more southern beaches. North Beach Traveling south to the Palm Pavillion area, one would en- counter North Beach. This area contained a great deal more people than the Way Up North Beach region; however, North Beach crowds consisted primarily of tourists and their chil- dren. Teens who fre- quented the area en- joyed the convenience of nearby concession stands and parking fa- cilities. North Beach was particularly beau- tiful at sunset after crowds departed leav- ing the shores practi- cally empty and ideal for early evening pic- nics. Skim-boarders preferred the scene for its low, flat water sur- face and made practice a ritual throughout summer. “It’s not too crowded, but there’s just about always enough people there that you’ll know some- one,” said Jody Carden. South Beach If loud music and loads of familiar faces tickled one’s fancy, chances are he’d in- habit South Beach. The strip of land in front of the Holiday Inn Surf- side down past Pier 60 not only attracted tour- ists from nearby hotels but also drew an im- mense high school crowd. During spring break, the area was crawling with college students. By far the most active region of the beach, balls from the paddle game, Ka- dima, whirled through the air, radios blared, and students socialized around the pier. “It’s a social event in itself,” said Jennifer Traum. In a strange sort of way, the regions of the beach reflected the personality or mood of the students that pa- tronized them. While the radically modest tended to head way up north, the socialites preferred the south beach. To prevent any monotony, many vis- ited different areas and spent a majority of their time walking the beach. Whichever re- gion one chose to soak up the sun in, he could be sure to enjoy one ol the most beautifu beaches in Florida.

Not all the evacuees chose shelters, howev- er. A few, including Theda Faklis and John Tender, chose the pro- tection of family and friends living on high lands. The Faklises, resi- dents of Island Estates, sat out the hurricane in the home of relatives on Keene Road. For Theda, the waiting was terrible. “It was very scary,” she commented. “I worried about my car and pet cat.” Not surprisingly, when news of Elena’s departure arrived, the Faklises made a hasty departure of their own to survey their proper- ty to see what damage Elena had done. Luck- ily, the only significant change was a blown out shutter. The Tenders, also residents of Island Es- tates, were not as fortu- nate, however. They spent their weekend with a friend of Mrs. Tender’s in Belleair. “It was interesting to leave the house to see how the police and ev- eryone were handling it,” said John. “Waiting was terrible. Every- body got on everybody else’s nerves. You saw the same people day after day.” But after three days in Belleair, the evacuation order was lifted and the Tenders went home. When they returned, according to John, their dock was gone, their boat was under water, their sailboat was smashed in half, their roof was damaged, gut- ters were destroyed, and their pool was filled with debris, lena ' s Fury irricane Elena leaves its mark on Clearwater wood, and magazines of unknown origin. Elena’s wind and rain tormented Pinel- las residents for three days. She destroyed many homes, boats, bridges, and caused many beaches to disap- pear. Certainly, for at least the few following years, the word “Elena” would evoke terror in the minds of Pinellas residents. Hurricane 1 7 G.

Freshmen, on he whole, were enthu- siastic about the ala arte lunch which fea- ured items such as milkshakes, “Dune- buggy burgers,” churros, soft pretzels, and “diet delights.” “They have a great selection,” said Wendy Broad, “I love the churros!” The opinions of those returning to school, on the other hand, differed. “It’s the same lunch they’ve always given us without the salad bar and a few novelty items thrown in to make us think we’re eating at a restaurant,” stated Wen- dy Marich. “The quality is as poor as it has always been and the prices are double.” “It costs me over three dollars to eat the school lunch,” said Chris Nico- las, captain of the varsity football team. The average price of the Surfside lunches ran approximately $1.50, a Although three cafeterias were available for students to eat in. empty spaco was ofton difficult to find.

It’s not fair that we should have to pay so much for the quality of the food served,” com- mented Sonia Lom- bardo. Despite complaints of the poor food quality, students made a mad dash to lunch. Perhaps the reason had some- thing to do with the eter- nal lines that allowed the unfortunate souls at their ends two minutes to down their edibles. Then, of course, there was always the chal- lenge to find an empty space after waiting in the lines. Many opted to eat outside in the courtyard or near the auditorium. Milkshakes, cookies, and pretzels were among the most popular “carry-out” items. As students continued to find humor in the school lunch program, the county maintained it’s attempt to please them. “At this rate, in ten years from now they’ll have an in-school cocktail lounge but it’ll cost ten dollars a day to eat school lunch,” said Paul Larsen. And, most likely, students will still be asking, “What’s gross- er than gross?” Lunch 19 I eeding ■ renzy e hungry enjoy leisure time at the Surfside S Weiss Clearlight staff members, in- cluding lip sync emcee Twyette Oberle, organized the entire event.

Ready For the World hit the stage with “Oh Shei- la, ” an act that won them third place. The fourth place winners, the B-52’s, drew the crowd to their feet to dance to their whimsi- cal “Private Idaho.” Wham, David Bowie, and Mick Jagger were also popular with the crowds. Even faculty members got in on the act with their Beach Boys tune, “Be True to Your School.” The largest group to take the stage walked away with second place. Introduced by the moth- er of syncers Bill and David Glass, the Jimmy Buffet and the Coral Reefer Band performed “Volcano, ” complete with a smoking volcano backdrop. “It’s a crowd pleaser,” said John Hoopes, “even for peo- ple who don’t like Buf- fet.” However, even Buffet fans weren’t surprised when, at the end of the evening, the first place winners were an- nounced.

During lunch, Chihiro converses with a few friends. As exchange students, Randi Moller and Bente Sol- berg-Johansen both had to cope with different school systems. When describing their school at home, they said, “There we have differ- ent schedules each day and it is much less tedious. w e d e n ? Isn’t that the place where they make watches and eat gourmet cheese? Or no, wait, maybe that’s Swit- zerland ...” For many students, places such as the Neth- erlands, Norway, Den- mark, Tunisia, Japan and Sweden were merely countries they could find on the globe. But for the five exchange stu- dents attending CHS, these countries were places to be called home. Sponsored by pro- grams such as Youth For Understanding (Y.F.U.) and American Inter-Cul- tural Student Exchange (A.I.S.E.), these students arrived in the United States shortly before the new school year started and stayed with volun- teer host families within the community. Although each came to America after having taken between 1 and 6 years of English, all the exchange students agreed that the language difference caused them L. Eaddy by Lynette Eaddy some trouble in the be- ginning. “At first I hated school because of the language difference. Gradually, though, it grew easier and easier to understand my teachers and by about the third month I wasn’t having much of a problem at all,” said Hauda Magh- raoui, a student from Tu- nisia who had taken four years of English. Apart from the new language, the students also stumbled upon oth- er major differences be- tween life at home and life in America. “At home, no one drives a car to school. You must be 18 to get a license, so everyone rides a bike in- stead. Having a car is just not as important in the Netherlands,” said Gido Kuijpers. Randi Moller also voiced this opinion by saying, “It is much harder to get around here than at home.” School itself also ran quite differently than some of the exchange students were used to. “In Japan, we have to go to school on Saturdays in addition to Monday thru Friday. We also have less homework than they give here and there aren’t as many big tests,” said Chihiro Oka from Tokyo, Japan. The weather, too, sur- prised some exchange students. “When I first got here I didn’t believe Johansen from Norway replied with, “Peanut butter jelly sand- wiches and plastic Christmas trees!” In an- swer to the same ques- tion Maghraoui replied, “1 thought it was very strange how many girls oreign Affairs cchange students view All American life that I’d be walking around in shorts in the middle of December!” said Niklas Thoren from Sweden. Some of the oddities that the students came across, however, were things natives merely took for granted. When asked what the strangest thing that they had en- countered was, both Randi Moller from Den- mark and Bente Solberg- consistently skip lunch and breakfast here; you just don’t see that as much at home! Though hundreds of miles away from their home and their families, all the exchange stu- dents agreed that their experiences here were exciting ones and that they would be some- what reluctant to go back home. In fact, a few had already decided that they would be back. L. Eaddy Exchange Students 23 Boys wore haircuts any- where from short to shoul- der-length bi-levels.

Was the school full of students just recovering from chemo-therapy treat- ments? Were the stu- dents suffering from some kind of a scalp- cancer epidemic?

To achieve their desired “individ- uality,” they shaved sec- tions of hair to the scalp, bleached, dyed bl ack, and styled hair in novel manners. By utilizing mousse and gels, these students often spiked their hair, making it stand out on ends. Mo- hawk (a shaved scalp with a stripe of hair run- ning down the middle) and other short styles were commonly worn in spiked styles. “I don’t consider myself a trendy,” said sophomore Kiri Plank. “My hair is a statement in itself.” During the fall, varsity football team members shaved their heads into crew cuts to evoke school spirit. A number of male students not in- volved with the football team shaved their heads for either fashionable or practical reasons. Bi-level cuts with two separate layers across the back were popular with both sexes. Often- times, the exterior layer was dyed blond to con- trast a brown undertone. Bangs were anywhere from non-existent to long and vision impair- ing. For girls, short styles were very much in vogue. Many sported bobbed cuts with their hair cut on all sides at an equal length with either short, long, or feathered bangs. Others wore boy- ish styles cut to the neck. Short, long, purple, or black, styles varied with the individual. “I’m used to sarcastic strangers asking where I got my hair,” related Plank. “I tell them the idea came from an unreachable mind. trageous to tame, hairstyles express individuality Hair Styles 25 n� F®a x by Carrie McLaren Whether working on D homework, watching iglycedes, cal- television, or chatting on cium sulfate, po- the phone, the irresista- lysorbate 80. ble desire for edibles ■ ickling I astebuds Not only a necessity, eating is a pastime Materials for a chem- istry lab?

These addictive foods went hand in hand with certain activities. Stu- dents habitually headed for the bag of chips when the phone rang or when a favorite television pro- gram began. Oftentimes teenagers made eating an activity in itself. With no inter- esting movies playing or parties planned on a weekend night, they headed to fast food places or restaurants, de- pending on how much money was available. “We’ve been known to stay quite a while after we’ve finished eating at restaurants,” said Rebec- ca Kert. “It’s nice to be able to just go someplace and talk.” Restaurants provided quality food and atmosphere fast food operations lacked. In addition, they al- lowed its student pa- trons to escape the ever- popular hamburger. A newcomer in the fast food scene, frozen yogurt became popular with anyone who would try it. Similar to soft serve ice cream, yogurt was 98 percent fat free and fewer in calories than most fast foods.

Others taught them- selves to be more dar- ing, by throwing open parties which often at- tracted over a hundred people and occasionally were visited by Clear- water police officers. “The last party I was at was too crowded,” re- lated sophomore David Glass. “By the time the police came, the house was practically demol- ished.” Students often took risks at school.

Ashtrays, salt and pep- per shakers, even the plastic bars that one used to separate his gro- ceries from others in line at the supermar- ket. . .nothing was safe. Other items that en- ticed students into acts of kleptomania in- cluded barricades, street signs, and lawn decorations such as plastic pink flamingoes or even fifteen pound cement frogs. Students would patrol low-popu- lated areas and mobile home parks for such ar- ticles, only to later de- posit the goods in a friend’s lawn. What these students didn’t realize, though, was the stiff penalty for street sign stealing. “I would never steal a street sign after I heard it was con- sidered grand larceny,” said junior Martha Gal- loway. “However, I have a fine collection of pink flamingoes.” To some students, trying to sneak into a bar quenched their thirst for adventure. With the drinking age raised to 21, the task be- came much more diffi- cult. Fake I.D. ' s were easily attained through magazine orders, but many bars only ac- cepted driver’s licenses as proof of identifica- tion. One anonymous senior was successful for three months using an I.D. she had found of a deceased young woman. Unfortunately her luck ran out whena bouncer at Jack’s Place knew the dead woman and threatened to call the police after confis- eating the I.D. The risks didn’t stop there. Students found that their own unique and spontaneous acts were the most thrilling. Whether road rallying on the Courtney Camp, bell Causeway, toilet papering the Belleair Police Department, or skinny dipping at 1:30 a.m. in the Bobby Walker Pool, students enjoyed their teenage years living on the edge C.

Another junior, who held similar views went on to say, “Some- times teachers give tests when they haven’t yet gone over the material. In cases like that I’d rather get some help from a friend than fail.” Pressure from home was also a reason for some students to cheat. Restrictions on going out, driving and spend- ing money were all com- mon reprimands for those who brought home unsatisfactory grades. “My parents would flip if I ever brought home bad grades — so sometimes I cheat to make sure that won’t happen,” said one freshman whose parents adamantly stressed the importance of good grades. A few students who sincerely felt the need to cheat often got very cre- ative in their methods of doing so. Some of the more unique ways in- cluded computer cheat sheets, scraping the paint off a pencil and then writing in answers, using hand signals to re- lay answers of multiple choice questions, and simply writing answers on a nearby folder or piece of paper. Sometimes, how- ever, these devices for cheating actually helped the student. “I have a class which I made a cheat sheet for every test. But I never ended up using it be- cause by the time I wrote all the answers out — I remembered them!” said one stu- dent. Of the 147 who admit- ted to cheating, however, less than half (31%) had ever been caught. A ma- jority of students felt this was true because either the teacher was too care- less to carefully proctor the test or the teacher could not be sure whether someone was actually cheating. “I think it is hard for a teacher to know for sure whether or not a student is cheating. Besides, stu- dents only cheat in classes where they know they can get away with it. You tend to think twice about it when you have a teacher looking over you, said one “During a random poll of 149 CHS stu- dents, close to 99% admitted to having cheated at least once . . sophomore who admit- ted to seeing a fair amount of cheating in some of her classes. How the student felt about a class or teacher and how much the teacher watched out for cheating seemed to have a major affect on whether or not people cheated in that class. “1 would never cheat in my Biology II Honors class, not because the material is a breeze or anything, but because Mrs. Wilcox is the type of teacher who would take it as a personal insult if she caught you. That kind ot respect is the best cure for cheating I know of,” commented one Bio. UH student. While the problem of cheating some- times appeared insur- mountable. the fact that it could be less- ened was made clear by the comments stu- dents made about careless proctoring and virtually “cheat free” classes. Con- cluded one senior. “1 don’t think cheating can ever be completely abol- ished.

Practi- Bcaiif y the worst thing to asy ,cio duringa test is to walk je th out the room. That’s just too much tempta- tion for a student,” said one teacher who be- lieved that cheating would slacken if stu- dents weren’t given such blatent opportunities to do so. Although the Honor Code was rarely used by high school teachers, some did use it with suc- cess. “I once gave a take home test and required students to sign their name at the bottom to testify that they received no help on it. Surpris- ingly, those tests were the lowest grades of the entire six weeks,” said one math teacher. Curbing cheating on homework assignments was also sought by teachers. This commit- ment resulted in teachers requiring students to show all their work, giving written assignments rather than multiple choice type ques- tions, and giving pop quizzes on the assign- ment. Although the school policy called for suspension for cheaters, many teach- ers preferred to han- dle cheating on their own level. This was true mainly because of the difficulty in positively identifying cheaters. “Often you might think someone is cheating but it is extremely hard to be sure. If this happens in one of my classes, I han- dle the problem by sepa- rating the student or giv- ing him a different test,” said one teacher who very rarely sent students to the office for suspen- sion. “To me a two-day sus- pension only makes the problem worse. When the student returns to class he is twice as far be- ll i n d and is more tempted to cheat again just to catch up. I would rather handle the prob- lem in the classroom than through the office,” said one teacher who had few problems with cheating in his classes. Like many students, teachers often felt that keeping open lines with students was the best way to curb cheating. Said one teacher who tried always to be avail- able to students, “Teach- ers should get involved with the students while they are working on as- signments, being sure to offer help when it’s needed. If a student knows and understands the material he is much less likely to cheat.” Yet despite teacher’s continued efforts to curb cheating, they were never 100% successful. “No matter what you do. someone is always going to cheat — you can only do your best to prevent it.” “I think cheating is a serious problem. I know that cheating occurs far more than I catch it, and it’s discouraging to me as a teacher.” Because of the sensitivity of this subject, all names have been withheld. The Poll from which much information was extracted was given randomly to 149 students from all grades.

A variety of events during Homecoming week sparked spirit for the Friday night game. In particular, the dress-up days throughout the week involved every member of the student body. SGA selected a committee headed by secretary Leslie Ron- deau to come up with a list of ideas for dress-up days. The list was then submitted to Principal Ed Evans to eliminate any suggestions he felt violated the dress code. While ideas such as pa- jama day, toga day, and shorts day were dis- missed, Evans selected five remaining choices for the designated dress- up days. “The people who didn’t dress-up during the week were actually the minority,” observed Martha Galloway. On Monday, Home- coming week began with the traditional so- phistication day. Tues- day followed with con- cert t-shirt day. On Wednesday, students sported clothing bearing the name of their favor- ite college. Thursday, the tackier the clothes, the better they were for clash day, and Friday was spirit day. “Clash day was the best,” com- mented Simone Hicks. “It was a chance for me to dress normally and not stand out.” By the end of the week, time for hall deco- rating rolled around.

Sinbad’s mono- logue ran over an hour and poked fun at cheer- leaders, band members, and cheating. “He’s hi- larious!” said sophomore Ann O’Conner. “He can really relate to us.” As always, club and organization skits re- mained an important part of Tornado Tales. Th e Headliners received first place for their dance routine, “Let’s Hear It for the Tornadoes.” Key Club managed to get ahead of Interact, their rivals and the usual win- ning club, placing sec- ond with their rendition of “Mister Rogers.” Inter- act also had an interest- ing skit acting out a song entitled, “The Home- coming Queen Has a Gun.” Two acts from the Tuesday night lip sync made return perfor- mances. The second place winners, Ready for the World, performed “Oh Sheila.” The teach- ers also got in on the act. Dressed as teenagers from the 1950’s, they performed their Beach Boys’ lip-sync, “Be True to Your School.” To cap off the evening, an old tradition was brought back. Rather than crowning the Queen during halftime at the Homecoming game, football team cap- tain Chris Nicholas placed the crown on Mi- chelle DiMattia’s head at the end of Tornado Tales. The other members of the Homecoming court were also introduced. The Homecoming Court finalists included fresh- man Sherry Glover, sophomores Michelle Witte and Sherry Weiss, Martin, Wendy Norman, and Deserie Valloreo. “We had a professional portrait of the queen tak- en and kept it in the front office,” said SGA president Tony Deifell. ew and Improved hanges in Tornado Tales make an exciting show juniors Debbie Roach, Jan Matthews, TWynetta Feazell, Susan Coleman, and Madre Barber, and seniors Jodi Collins, Kim Fry, Jamie Gelep, Tina “We tried our hardest not only to improve this year’s Tornado Tales but also to set standards for the event in the future.

The Northeast what? ' No one considered the Vikings a challenge for the football team rated number two in the state. On top of that, the Homecoming game was almost always a sure win. But at halftime, as the Homecoming court was presented and the score favored the Vi- kings, the immense crowds began to worry. When the fourth quarter was exhausted with the visitors winning 17 to 14, Tornado fans were left dumbfounded. While the crowd left the game somewhat dis- appointed the following annual dance lifted their spirits. SGA originally planned for the dance to be held the week before the game at the Kapok Tree Inn. “We wanted the dance to be more special,” said SGA Presi- dent Tony Deifell, “espe- cially for the underclass- men who didn’t get to at- tend either Prom or Silverbell.” When the administra- tion disapproved of the idea, SGA continued the tradition of holding the dance in the gym follow- ing the game. SGA did continue, however, to fulfill their goal to make the dance a unique one by obtaining equipment to provide video enter- tainment. Charlie Harris Pontiac, a strong sup- porter of school activi- ties, donated money to rent a huge video screen. The next step was to write MTV (Music Tele- vision) for rights to re- cord videos off the sta- tion to play at the dance and to call the entire event the “MTV Video Party.” MTV granted rights to play their vid- eos, but not to use their logo in naming the event. The end resut of SGA’s efforts was a tremen- dous success. The video screen, placed in the cor- ner of the gym, played videos of Top 40 songs including Howard Jones’ “Things Can Only Get Better,” Bryan Adams’ “Heaven,” and Sting’s “Set Them Free,” that lifted the spirits of the defeated Tornadoes. “It didn’t take much time at the dance to get over the loss,” said Jody Carden. “I just thought the whole thing was ironic.” “There seemed so much more effort put into Homecoming than in the past,” said SGA re- presentative Sonia Lom- bardo. “Everyone had so many ideas that, for one Filled the gym up until the very end at 12:30. When the student government dance com- mittee led by Elizabeth McArthur began the eternal task of cleaning o Generic Evening victory? It depends on your point of view reason or another, couldn’t be done.” Despite any problems encountered in its plan- ning, the Homecoming dance was an overall success. The crowds up, all members of SGA could relax. They had strived to make it a unique Homecoming and, indeed, they had succeeded. T. Dtfifeli Nicole Marolf is one of the many SGA members to fill balloons with helium for the game. Members stayed after school until 5:30 filling the balloons.

No one in their right mind could get excited about rising ev- ery morning at six a.m. for a seven-hour, un- paid workday. With hours of homework in addition to classwork, many students found themselves working at all hours into the night. They then approached school the following day sporting dark cir- cles underneath their eyes and had to strug- gle to maintain con- sciousness. To some, “Just one of those days,” seemed to happen all too often. Homework was incom- plete, notebooks were stolen, and lunch was spilt down that brand new wool sweater (dry clean only). It was enough to drive a per- son to an early grave. “The day of my birth- day, I suffered through an early morning den- tist appointment only to discover upon arriv- ing at school that the space shuttle had just exploded,” recalled Howie Gillespie. “To top it all off, my parents took me out to dinner where I was thorough- ly embarrassed by a swarm of waitresse | bombarding me witfl cake and balloons as if.

Every year, the Latin classes celebrate the Roman holiday Saturnalia by making cards and bringing in food. Taking a break from the festivities, Kristen Buescher talks about vacation plans with a friend. 44 Holidays KID by Carrie McLaren S tudents enjoyed them, teachers savored them, and Hallmark made a fortune off them. Whether it was Thanksgiving, Christ- mas, New Year’s, or Valentine’s Day, every- one loved holidays. Ar- riving on a Thursday night, Halloween brought students out of their study holes to ca- rouse local happenings. Many patronized near- by haunted houses es- tablished to raise mon- ey for various organiza- tions. The most popular, located in Loehmann’s Plaza, contributed funds for world hunger relief. “I went to the one in Loehmann’s Plaza,” said junior Beth Alex- ander. “I managed to get through it, but I didn’t think my friend would make it to the end the way she was hysterically scream- ing.” The Latin Club held a Halloween party at Chris Crandall’s house where members played games, snacked, and participated in a cos- tume judging contest. Sophomore David Glass won first place for the second year in a row dressed as Buck- wheat from the televi- sion series, “The Little Rascals”. Hundreds of Bay Area athletes gathered in the Jack White Stadi- um on Thanksgiving morning to compete in the annual Times Tur- key Trot. Cross country runners, track team members, and students who jogged noncompe- titively participated in the six-mile race spon- sored by the St. Peters- burg Times. “Coach Ewbank asked me to officiate this year,” said cross country runner Mark Walkup a reg ular competitor in the race. The least expected thing on the Friday be- fore winter break was Principal Ed Evan’s an- nouncement telling students and faculty members to evacuate the building. After all sixth period classes made their way to the stadium, the crowds were informed of an in- tended bomb threat. While members of the administration at- tempted to organize an impromptu pep rally, a group of students be- gan a spontaneous “rapping session” that kept the crowd enter- tained. “The last thing we wanted to do was sit there while some cheerleaders tried to act excited about the soccer team,” said Freshman Eddy Green. “We all just wanted to go home.” With the bomb threat relinquished, the swarms hurried out of the bleachers to begin the holiday season. The PKA-sponsored Silverbell Dance was held the following Tuesday night, Decem- ber 23, at the Rusty Pelican Restaurant. Upperclassmen and their dates enjoyed dinner and danced un- til midnight at the for- mal event. Both the Key Club and FCA threw parties to ring in the new year. The Key Club held its party at John Hoopes’ house while FCA met at Kristin Wickman’s for an all-night lock-in. For Valentine’s Day, the Key Club sold car- nations with personal messages for students to send to their friends. The club distributed the flowers during first period before eight hundred foreign lan- guage students left for SPIFFS, the annual folk festival in St. Peters- burg. Throughout the day, balloons and roses poured into the office for individual delivery. “It’s all so wonderfully sappy,” said Junior Jody Carden. Without a doubt, holidays added spark to the year. Students learned not only to en- joy them, but savor them too. easonal Relief S Holidays provide the needed break from schoolwork ir ; Mi 1 n u If Jjr SGA held a party for the class collecting the most cans for its Thanksgiving can food drive.

K. ft ' %uiur 7 J ♦ . 1 . 1 ' m - 46 Cliques J. ourch M.A. Bradley by Carrie McLaren I f birds of a feather formed a flock, then what were a group of similar people called? Whether it was a mutual hobby, inter- ests, a sense of humor, or complimentary per- sonalities that formed the tie that bound, stu- dents stuck together in cliques. In many cases, the members of cliques were easily identified. Anyone vaguely famil- iar with the various cliques could random- ly choose people walk- ing down the halls be- tween classes and place them with their faction. Of course, in order to be accurate, one had to know the following characteris- tics of the assorted main groups: Surfers These sun-worship- ers ranked high up on the popularity ladder and spent every extra- curricular hour possi- ble carousing the beach. Surfers nearly always had blond hair (or at least brown hair with artificial high- lights) and somehow maintained year-round suntans. An extro- verted and daring crew, they made sure to leave an impression every- where they visited. While interests ranged from selected punk rock to top 40 artists, all surfers shared a mutu- al love for the shores. To them, they could never be too loud, at- tend too many parties, or soak up too much sun. Intellects Nearly opposite the surfers, they spent as much (if not more) time on schoolwork as lei- sure time. However, this did not mean that every honor student with at least a 4.0 GPA was rendered a social vegetable. Students taking the same ad- vanced courses often got together in study groups and went out for dinner before hitting the books together. While taking Compo- sition 11 honors, Paul Maseman wrote an ode to teacher Frank Black entitled “Black Rap”. With the help of class- mate Bart Ahern, he later recorded his work imitating Black’s voice with background mu- sic. The two played the results for Black and distributed lyric sheets on his request. While the academi- cally accelerated boast- ed similar I.Q.’s and took the same courses, they could not be con- sidered as one clique but several separate cliques. Those in- volved in advanced courses usually hung around others who were in classes of the same degree. “I’d never pass up a chance to go out because of home- work,” said Sophomore Ann O’Conner. “My friends aren’t the type of people who live with their noses in their books either.” Athletes Ranging from soccer players to cheer- leaders, they shared one thing in common: a love for sports. Anyone involved in the varsity or junior varsity pro- gram stayed daily after school to practice dur- ing season and there- fore became well-ac- quainted with the oth- er team members. Sports jargon was com- mon among them and often alienated the un- athletic from conversa- tion. Although all ath- letic groups possessed a general reputation for popularity, the boys soccer team, the varsity football team, and the cheerleaders enjoyed the most ‘elite’ status. Punkers Music by artists such as Suicidal Tendencies, Black Flag, and the Im- portant Seasnakes, played an important part in typing groups together. Punk and pro- gressive rock fans were usually easily identi- fied by their bizarre hairstyles, assorted leather accessories and chains, and an occa- sional pierced nose. Be- neath the superficial, fashion-oriented side of the punk rock move- ment lay strong politi- cal beliefs. Although rare, the genuine punk attitude cared less about an individual’s appearance and cloth- ing and more adamant- ly opposed nuclear war. An underground punk rock magazine, “Not For Profit,’ evoked controversy with school adminis- tration for its harsh lan- guage. w ... as far as crude ideas and child- ish use of profanity, there’s a thing called freedom of speech and press,” said Senior Jay Titus. Although not all stu- dents could be placed into the preceding cate- gories, everyone looked for friends with common characteris- tics. While members of cliques seemed at times to have a stereo- typed personality, they were actually a group of separate and unique individuals.

A person can hardly even walk through the halls without being run over at least once.” “Yea, I know. I think we should in- stall a few traffic lights in the center hall, so people can get from one class to another without be- ing late.” Ridiculous as this may sound to a per- son who does not have to deal with this situation every day, students attend- ing Clearwater High School found this problem very real, and very annoying at times. Although there were disadvantages to having such a heavily populated school, students did not have to look far to locate the many advantages also to be found. Among these was the ad- vantage of having more people in- volved in clubs, sports teams, and other extra-curricu- lar activities. This was proven true, as approximately 200 people joined the In- teract Club. “This year, instead of hand-picking our members, we ac- cepted everyone who filled out an ap- plication and paid their dues. This al- lowed many differ- ent people with a va- riety of interests to get involved and “interact” with one another”, comment- ed club president, Jennifer Bialow. Finding the posi- tive side to a diffi- cult situation, be- came a strength of the student body as a whole. This fact became more evi- dent than ever be- fore as students learned to deal with the crowded condi- tions because they were part of CHS on the inside.

As under- classmen, we looked up to the seniors; now it ' s our turn to be looked up at. — Tasha Smith C ass o ' 86 hits their grand finale by Janet Coffee T he day that every student dreams of fi- nally came to 545 students. August 26, was the first day of school and those days of being called an “un- derclassman” were no long- er possible. “How do we make this year different from last year?” was the question that the senior class officers found themselves asking one another. The officers consisted of Allan Hagaman, president, Bill Hensley, vice- president, Allison Lea, sec- retary, and Dawn Meissner as treasurer. Some of the ac- tivities the seniors partici- pated in included a picnic, Homecoming hall decora- tions and the annual senior week, which all made for a memorable senior year. To raise money for the ac- tivities, the senior class sponsored a variety of differ- ent fund raisers. Hagaman said, “We raised as much money as possible in order to plan more activities than last year.” The major key to having a good year was how well the officers and sponsor, Mr. Geriakos, worked together. Dawn Meissner said, “We work well together, and we get along great with Mr. Ger- iakos”. Bill Hensley’s comment, “The year was worth it. This was the best senior class we’ve had” summed up the 1985-86 school year. Working together, senior class President A1 Hagaman, Vice-pres. Bill Hensley, Sec. Allison Lea and Tres.

The large horse drew back and snorted, rolling his eyes, but the figures approached re- lentlessly. Soon it was all over and the horse stood qui- etly in the corner, drowsy from the shot just given to him by the vet. For many, working with animals seemed a boring way to make a living, but to Maggie Steiner, it was a life long dream. Maggie interned during her senior year with Dr. Meade, a large animal vet located in Oldsmar. “I’m an animal lover, and ever since second grade I’ve wanted to be a vet,” said Steiner. During previous summers, Steiner interned for five weeks at an animal hospital which specialized in small animals. In a typical work day she held small ani- mals while shots were given and often monitered sick animals that were fed intra- vaneously or had a low weight. Once Steiner held a cat while it was put to sleep, yet she also points out, “This is only done if it’s neces- sary.” At the vet office, Steiner changed needles and held the animals so the vein was not missed. She also worked with the paper work done on each animal. When asked about her in- ternship, Steiner said, “Al- though I think it is much more interesting to work with smaller animals, I also enjoy working with the larg- er ones.” Steiner was always owned animals of all different types such as cats, rabbits, gerbils. guinea pigs, dogs, and even a duck at one time. Her favor- ite animals are horses, al- though she has never has a horse of her own. Maggie Steiner hoped to fulfill her dream of healing sick animals by making vet medicine her career. 60 Seniors Randall Blazer Derick Blunt Janie Borgra Venus Bosworth Nancy Bouchard Jenny Boyer Mari Anne Bradley Michael Brooks Dwayne Brown Gary Brown William Brown Tobbi Bryant Kathy Buechenhorst Rebecca Buehler Jennifer Burch ■■ eon : in “Al uch ork also ar s ned pes bils. ena vor- al- as a i to ling vet Burch Student in the morning, veterinary intern in the afternoon.

There were so many other things he could’ve been doing, instead of sitting in a class where he didn’t care what was happening. Many students like Joe, suffered from the frustration of having to take classes they didn’t need, because they al- ready had the number of credits needed to graduate. This year’s seniors had to have 24 credits in order to receive their diplomas. Nu- merous students already had the required number of credits and were very frus- trated sitting in a class, knowing they didn’t have to be there. “I feel it is a waste of time. You could use this time to work and make money for college,” stated Mike Stuer- man. There was some good to this regulation. Students took some beneficial classes they normally wouldn’t have taken if they hadn’t had the free time. “It’s a chance to take courses in other areas I’m in- terested in,” stated John Hoopes. Hoopes was able to take Advanced Reading and Advanced Placement Euro- pean History, which he prob- ably wouldn’t have other- wise taken. Some teachers were also frustrated with students be- cause they just sat in class, collecting dust, instead of caring about what they were doing. Other teachers didn’t let it bother them and thought positively about the regulation. “The state has set up the requirements, and I think that even if the students have the required credits to graduate, they can still bene- fit from the extra classes,” said Mrs. Mayer. The seniors did have a choice under certain cir- cumstances. If the students had the number of credits needed by the end of their senior year, they could grad- uate early, after the first se- mester was completed. Until this state require- ment is changed, students like Joe will go on sitting in classes they don’t need, not paying attention and day- dreaming . . . the beach . . . the mall . . . the job . . . the pillow . . .

The waves lapped jently against the sides of :he boat as the skipper stood silhouetted against the sun, his hair blown by the wind. “I like the sea because it’s so big and kind of mysteri- ous. You don’t have to worry about problems out there, and there’s no traffic,” said Royce Rarick, a senior who as sailed various vessels ince he was eight years old, and raced since he was nine. He represented the United States in the World Class Championship race to Ire- land in 1981. To qualify for it, he was in the top ten in his district, and in the top five out of all the districts in the U.S. After a series of qualify- ing races, the boats that scored the least amount of points were allowed to com- pete in the larger race. Rarick placed third out of fifty in the Kahlua Cup in 1984. The Kahlua was an overnight boat race, general- ly lasting from noon Satur- day to noon Sunday. He also won the Sears Cup in the Naval Academy in Annap- olis, one of the most presti- gious awards in the Yacht Racing Union, and he was the skipper of the boat. is a way of life for Royce Rarick “It was great winning the Sears Cup! I was so excited I could hardly believe it. I had really wanted to win it,” stated Rarick. During the school year, Rarick sailed usually on weekends and taught sailing after his employer set up the adult sailing classes. Over the summer, he taught sail- ing at the Clearwater Yacht Club and he worked for the Clearwater Olympic Com- mittee. “I make pretty good mon- ey. It’s a lot of fun and I’m outside. It beats working in McDonalds’s making ham- burgers,” Rarick said. His first boat was a pram. It looked like a bathtub and was eight feet long by four feet wide. Next, he used an International Optimist Din- gy and went to Hobie Cats, Lasers, 420’s and his favor- ite: J24’s. He has also sailed larger boats such as Morgan 27’s, J36’s, and Heritage One Tons. He’s also sailed and raced throughout the United States in such places as Wis- consin, Minnesota, Califor- nia, Louisiana, and the Northeast. Although he has won var- ious awards and fame, Royce Rarick still loves the sea for its mystery and great size.

I’m finally a senior.” said Sheryl Adams. Being a senior brought a certain amount of prestige along with special but limit- ed privileges. These privileges included the senior cafeteria exclu- sively for seniors. But eating in the senior cafeteria wasn’t the only ad- vantage afforded to seniors. Later in the year they held a talent show which was per- formed and viewed exclu- sively by seniors. In addition, a certain week of school was designated as Senior Week. During this particular week, seniors had such activities as a yearbook signing social, a barbecue, and sophistication day. However, these extras were not enough for many seniors. “I feel we whould be able to go off campus for lunch, because I think we are all responsible adults,” said Mandy Daniels. A few seniors would have liked to add the “best” lock- ers to their list of privileges. “I think seniors should get more lockers and the under- classmen should have to share,” said Cindy Flory. “I don’t think we should have to share with underclass- men,” agreed Sheryl Adams. Furthermore, Amy Santa Maria felt, “there should be a senior study hall where se- niors can go to study. A lot of seniors’ grades would im- prove if they had a clas where they would do noth ing but study.” When the bell rang oJ June 4, it announced the encl of high school for seniors] But although they tried, few] items were added to the list! of privileges, which, as the] year went by, simply go:] longer. “I’ve been waiting for this a long time, I ' m finally a senior.” — Sheryl Adams Stevon Fontaine Georgia Fotopoulos Kurt Fruhn Yolanda Franklin Tom Free Eric Freitag Eric Friodorich Kim Fry Folicia Gatewood Gary Gavin lamie Gelep Susan Gendron Lisa Genes Kelli Geoghegun Vicki Gialusis 66 Seniors Jeff Gibson Owen Gilliam Chris Giolis Michelle Goewey Ali Goldenfarb Todd Goldman Melanie Gonzales Donyell Good Mark Good Roslyn Gooden Staci Graham Denise Granier Michelle Grant Diana Greene Nina Gregory Seniors 67 The privilege of eating in the se- nior cafeteria is enjoyed by many seniors.

Many have de- fined it as the constant collisions between the University of Florida Ga- tors and the Florida State Seminoles. Some have even considered this to be the big- gest rivalry in Florida since the Civil War. Many students were heard arguing in the halls over his or her favorite state university. Although these arguments didn’t come down to bloodshed, they did come close. Leslie Rondeau said “The Gators are the best because Florida State used to be a girls school and they will always remain one.” While Jodi Collins did not show as much hatred to- wards the Gators, she did say “I’m not against the Ga- tors, but FSU does have the better school all around.” There were many reasons for these hatreds; some were just due to personal prefer- ence. I grew up with a moth- er and sister that attended FSU, and when my sister was there I visited often and I feel that I just fit in,” stated Karen Currey. Others loved these particular schools due to their outstanding athletics or academic curriculum. Many students felt that they would let this little ar- gument as to who’s the best be decided on the football field. However this year the rivalry appeared to have been much stronger due to the fact that both schools possessed football teams that were ranked in the top 10 . During homecoming week the Student Government As- sociation as one of their dress up days decided upon having a college day. The CHS students displayed their loyalty on Wednesday, October 23, College Day, which school was the best. But nobody could decide on a winner. Orange and Blue as well as Maroon and Gold were abundant throughout the halls. “The Gators are the best because Florida State used to be a girls school and they will always remain one.” —Leslie Rondeau £ CD GO Seniors 69 Going For It All Scott McQuigg sets high goals and reaches them by Jennifer Burch H e didn’t waste a minute. Scott McQuigg knew what he wanted out of life and was determined to get it. Having already accom- plished many small steps to- wards his future, by his se- nior yoar, McQuigg had al- ready started his career in broadcasting. “I started to gain interest in the broad- casting field in the 7th grade. There was a news show at my school called WJFK Ac- tion News that gave me my first taste,” said McQuigg. McQuigg worked for Vi- sion Cable in Clearwater for the past 5 years. “I really en- joy my job; the best part is sports announcing.” He an- nounced high school foot- ball and other sports throughout the season. “Vi- sion Cable has given me ex- perience, from running T.V. cameras and running master control to interviewing sports celebrities, one being Pete Rose. So I get to know a little about everything.” McQuigg put together a half-hour documentary that Nicklelodean agreed to buy. It was viewed in 25 million homes across the U.S., Can- ada and Puerto Rico. The documentary consisted of an interview with President Reagan and other interviews with such dignitaries as Speaker of the House Tip O’Neill, Vice President George Bush, Congressman Jack Kemp, Senator Paula Hawkins, Congressman Mike Bilirakis, Congress- man Bill Young, and White- house Correspondant Sam Donaldson, who was a per- sonal idol of McQuigg. Scott was also able to visit the White House in September. “Congressman Bilirakis in- troduced me to President Reagan in the Oval Office. We talked about sports an- nouncing and my wanting to meet him since I was in the 7th grade,” McQuigg said. “It was fun playing the big league while I was there.” On the personal side, Scott also has had a busy life. Dur- ing the summer of 1985 he vacationed in Europe with his family. He also went to Appalachia in Sneadville, Tennessee with his church to build houses for under- privileged families. “It was very worthwhile to me. It felt good to be helping some- one t hrough God, and know that it was going to make a difference.” In his free time Scott has been known for making a fun time out of almost every situation. “I just try to keep a positive attitude about ev- erything.” McQuigg is very close to his family. “They give me a lot of support when I really need it.” He was a diehard Eddy Grant fan. Other favorites include Huey Lewis “because he’s a good guy” and Bruce Spring- steen “because he’s Amer- ica.” Music was a big part of his life. Scott said that his family and God were the most im- portant things in his life. “1 try to learn by watching peo- ple and how they act. A per- son can learn a lot that way.” McQuigg said his ultimate goal was to be an anchorman on ABC World News Tonight and to help people anyway he can. Through everything he has done he said “I’ve gained so much responsibility, which I think will make some difference later.” As for advice to give to someone who is goal-orient- ed, McQuigg said “do every- thing you can and don’t be afraid to ask questions!” McQuigg added with a smile on his face, “Hey, don’t be surprised if I end up being a bum!” John Hoopes Christina Hopper Kimberly Horton Curtis Ingram lonnifer luckson Doug Jennings Glenn )onson Derron Johns lumie lohnson David tones 70 Seniors ; a Lg sr- of ly n- “I ‘f o- ir- r ite an hi ay ae ed ■y. 1 1 ke to lt- y- be tie be 5a One step in fulfilling his dream, Scott McQuigg on the phone in Con- gressman Bilirakis’ office listens carefully to a Nickelodean repre- sentative who agrees with Scott’s proposal involving the right to a show that Scott and other students will produce.

Right? Not ex- actly. This stereotype didn’t always apply to the top se- niors. Just look at Brian Mill- er, Liz Kurmas, Ali Golden- farb, Kenyon Potter, and Arianna Meyn and you can see that definitely was not true. Some of their free time after school was taken up by extracurricular activities. While they each belonged to NHS, some also involved themselves in other clubs. Ali, Liz, and Arianna all took part in the band and were ac- tive in it for at least two years. “I am treasurer of the Sci- ence Club and the president of the Spanish Honor Soci- ety,” said Brian. Kenyon was editor and secretary of the Science Club and president of the Chess Club. Homework took another large percent of their time. “During the week I some- times have up to five hours of homework,” stated Brian. Each of these students spent between three and five hours most nights on homework. Working various hours during the week Ali, Arianna, and Kenyon also fit jobs into their hectic sched- ules. “I work about 10-20 hours a week as a waitress, cashier, “During the week I some- times have up to five hours of homework.” — Brian Miller 72 Seniors Seniors 73 Patty Lavelle Mary Lea Alixandra LeCher Sander Lee Thomas Lee Robbin Leidall Darren Leroux David Levine Eric Lewis Lannie Lewison %% Another Merit Scholar semi-fina- list is Ali Goldenfarb. who compet- ed in the 31st annual Merit Scholar- ship competition.

Many seniors had a col- lege which they would pre- fer to attend. This was also true in the case of these five. While Ali and Brian had high hopes of being accepted into such as Princeton and Harvard, Liz and Arianna would rather remain in the state of Florida and go to the University of Florida. Ken- yon hoped to attend Purdue University or Georgia Tech. “When I finish high school, I would like to major in elec- tronic engineering,” stated Kenyon. Once again proving the stereotype of nerds untrue, they all agreed that on week- ends they liked to go out and have fun with their friends. 74 Seniors Doug Lyons Amy MacNutt Houda Maghraoui Becky Mangham Lee Manly Eli Marks Mark Marland John Marshall John Martin Tina Martin Daniel Martucci Cathy Mattingly Greg Mayer Rob McCormick Kimberly McCune CD Ph o Athough many intelligent people prefer to go to a variety of presti- gious colleges.

Seniors 75 Doing Without P.A.K. and Demolay function without school sponsorship P.A.K. by Nanci Whitehouse W hat does P.A.K. mean? For many students as well as teachers, and administra- tion this was a common question. P.A.K. stands for Phi Alpha Kappa. It was an all girl sorority. However, de- spite the membership of all Clearwater High juniors and seniors, the sorority was in no way affiliated with the school itself. “We are a self-organizing club. We are independent not only because sororities aren’t allowed in public schools, but because we really didn’t want to have to ask permission for every- thing we wanted to do,” ex- plained President Jackie Ar- nold. P.A.K. had numberous ac- tivities scheduled for their members. “We had planned a special dance late in No- vember with our Demolay brothers,” stated Nancy Phillips. P.A.K. also had car washes and various other fund raisers to reach the main goal, Silver Bell, of the sorority. “All the funds raised throughout the year were for the Christmas prom,” ex- plained Amy McNutt. Silver Bell was a Christmas prom for the Clearwater High stu- dents, but again was no way backed by the administra- tion. “If we went through the school to get Silver Bell, we would end up doing the things the school board wanted it to be,” stated vice president Dawn Meissner. Demolay D emolay was an orga- nization recognized for its leadership and character in young men. De- molay was sponsored by Howard Freeze chapter in Clearwater. Its members were mostly made up of Clearwater High students, but encouraged any young man to join. The club met each week and went through a series of prayers and other ‘secret’ events. “After the meetings we start socializing, and that’s when the fun starts,” said senior Brad Long. These meetings were held at the Masonic Lodge. Being backed by an older group helped the young men out in a lot of ways, expecial- ly those which a peer might not be able to help with. “We have a lot of brothers to help us out, but mostly we handle everything ok,” explained Andy Burwell. Handling everything was no problem for the boys’ chapter. They elected offi- cers and little sisters to help where it was needed. The little sisters were mainly for moral support. “After the guys get through with their meetings, they take us out for ice cream,” stated Madre Barber. “I became a sister in my 9th grade year and have been happy with it all along,” expressed Roxanne Wellman.

Joan and Jill Armstrong. They were inseparable yet very individual. With strong per- sonalities and twelve years of dancing experience be- hind them, they came a long way together. Both started dancing when they were six years old at the School of Ballet Repertory Dance Arts. Their dancing experience also included twelve years of jazz and tap, seven years of point, and six years of acrobatics. Jill and Joan have also received numerous awards throughout their dancing years. Two of them were entitled “Most Ambi- tious Dancer” in the years 1975 and 1979 at the School of Ballet Repertory Dance Ails. What did they get out of all of this? Pure enjoyment. “Dancing is like a part of us. It gives us the chance to ex- press ourselves in a different way,” stated Joan. “While Joan was away at boarding school, I got a chance to dance in a Pepsi commercial in 1981,” added Jill. “That was a great experience!” With their dance school, the twins have been to New York City three times. With the Senior Ballet Company, they studied ballet and jazz at Carnegie Hall. Joan did not plan a career in dancing, but Joan stated, “After high school I plan to go to an out-of-state four year college and study pre- med to eventually become a doctor.” Jill on the other hand stated, “I would love to become a Radio City Music Hall Rockette, but I’m not tall enough! I’m also very in- terested in broadcasting.” The twins have stuck to- gether through everything from tough auditions to ev- eryday problems. “We’re best buddies,” said Jill. “She’s not only a sister, but a best friend, too,” Joan added. The girls worked part-time ' at the Clearwater YMCA, where they were counselors. “We like working together l with kids because soon we ' will be separated when we venture our own ways in school”, stated Joan. “When | Joan was in boarding school, that was really the first time i we were separated. It’s going I to be hard when we are apart for college,” stated Jill. The twins added, “We are so thankful for the love and j support our parents have! given us through the years.

But this was no ordinary pla- toon or drill sergeant. These ranks were made up of girls in the Marine Junior ROTC unit, and their drill sergeant was Vicki Gialusis. Tradi- tionally this role was given to men. It is still a predomi- nately male world, but a few girls like Vicki still managed to excell. Vicki first got interested in ROTC through her brother. “My brother was in it so 1 de- cided to try it,“ said Vicki. She participated in ROTC for four years. Over these years she advanced to the rank of master sergeant and company commander. Mas- ter sergeant was a demand- ing job, and the biggest part of it was leading a platoon of 28 girls. “A platoon leader teaches the girls how to drill and corrects any mistakes, just like a mother, ” ex- plained Vicki. Any even larger job was leading both girls platoons. This was the responsibility of the com- pany commander. Vicki held this rank, the highest rank possible, for twelve weeks this year. The military played an important role in Vicki s life and she planned to continue to be active in it. Plans for the future in- cluded college. West Point was where Vicki planned to attend, if accepted. Her next choice was the University of South Florida. After college she planned to join the army and continue her military career. Vicki has shown that women can excell in a man’s world, even if that world was the rough, tough world of the Marine Corps ROTC. For Vicki and the other women, the Marine ad slo- gan “The few. The Proud.”, will always have a special meaning. 80 Seniors Nancy Rogers Rob Rohr Leslie Rondeau Todd Rosen Debbie Rosewater . . 4 « Aiming at an imaginary opponent, Vicki Gialusis prepares to fire her gun while lying on the ground.

Well, each of them at- tended Boys’ or Girls’ State. Obviously, if you spend a week during the summer on Florida State University’s campus with over 500 of the most outstanding high school students, you are bound to be in the company of future presidents, con- gressmen, senators, celebri- ties, and other high public figures. Kenny Hayslett, who was elected speaker of the House of Representatives, de- scribed Boys’ State as, “the best week in a young man’s life. You leave with a great sense of pride in your na- tion.” Nancy Nelzis, who at- tended Girls’ State which followed Boys’ State, said, “Girls’ State was a great ex- perience! I learned a lot about our government by running for and serving as a senator.” The week began quickly with intense enthusiam. Joy Taylor, who was one of twelve girls nominated for Girls’ Nation, recalled the beginning of Girls’ State, “The week went by so fast. Everything started the in- stant you checked into your room. Posters had to go up and speeches had to be writ- ten.” “Furthermore, when you arrive at Boy’s State yo u compete with 500 of the state’s most outgoing and prestigious young men for offices on the city, county, and state level,” commented John Hoopes, who was elect- ed to the House of Represen- tatives and appointed by Kenny Hayslett to be parlia- mentarian and chairman of the ways and means com- mittee. Throughout the week the young men and women were taught to build and develop their own state government by electing offices, forming party platforms, and passing bills. Those who were elect- ed to the House of Represen- tatives and the Senate went to the capital. Joy Taylor said, “The capital was the best part of it all! For the last two days we spent our time either in the House or the Senate chambers debating on bills. We actually sat in the congressmen’s or sena- tor’s chairs. It was a really neat feeling!” With a tired body and some dirty clothes, they left with a memory of a once in a life time experience. They left with more knowledge of government, increased pride in their nation, and most of all with new and strong friendships. Nancy Nelis said, “I made so many new friends that I became real close to.” Joy Taylor said one of the best parts of Girl’s State “was all the friends I met there. They were all am- bitious and willing to get in- volved, and were all filled with fantastic personalities.” John Hoopes felt that “be- ing chosen for Boy’s State has to be one of the greatest achievements in a young man’s high school career. A person chosen for Boys’State is one of the best in his high school and is the type of per- son who lives life to the ful- lest.” Governor Bob Graham, who spoke at Boys’ State, said that “I am proud that our state has such talented young men and women who are willing to dedicate the time and effort to learn about the working of Flor- ida’s government.” C 3 £-h o • rH PJ CD C 3 Donna Silva Anthony Simotes John Smith Lance Smith Regina Smith Sandra Smith Sheila Smith Stacey Smith Tasha Smith Kim Snowdon Seniors 83 LoKrenchie Stonom Miko Stuerman Lynn St urn bo rs Lisa Suarez Patricia Sudduth In Style Past favorites stay with the students M usic, restaurants, television, and fashion have con- stantly boon changing over the years.

Other upperclassmen like John Hoopes and Tom Mott go together every Friday night to cheer on the football team. “We like to hold up signs, scream obscenities, and start cheers during the games,” said Mott. Partying was definitely the main answer given when seniors were asked how they had fun. “Every Friday or Saturday night somebody’s having a party, and that’s where you’ll find me,” said one se- nior. Other ways seniors spent their free time included a wide range of hobbies. Tony Simotes said, “I like skate- boarding, hydrosliding and indoor soccer.” Greg West and Bo Rushing stated they enjoyed, “Karate, water ski- ing and just doing things to have fun.” “We like to hold up signs, scream obscenities, and start cheers during the game.” — Tom Mott Seniors 89 The building for the A.

The president this year was Gary Cuddeback. A newcomer (having held no previous class offices), his job was to make “sure things ran smoothly” and to orga- nize “board and general meetings” he said. Next, Amy Wilks held the role of vice president. “I take over when the president isn’t available,” she said. Be- ing an officer is natural to Amy, having served as fresh- man and sophomore class treasurer. Then there was Tammy Giroux. The role as class sec- retary meant that “I had to take notes and minutes at every meeting,” she said. Tammy also is an exper- ienced officer, having served as class secretary in both her freshman and sophomore years. Finally, Tim Owen held his own as class treasurer. His responsibility was “to keep a record of the finances of the junior class.

But making that dream come true was another thing. Sev- eral CHS students have al- ready stared on their way to- wards that dream. Kane Blanford, Mat Bennett. Doug Free, and Kirk Bennett make up the band “Viano”. The band, with Kane and Matt on electric guitar and Kirk on bass, play mostly heavy met- al. They play songs from groups like Ratt and Van He- len. They also have started to write their own songs. “Viano” was formed four months ago by Kane and Matt. The name “Viano” was taken from the name of an- other CHS student. Rich Viano. Rich is a drummer that Kane used to “jam” with. Kane liked the sound of the name and chose it for the band. Kane first got interested in the guitar in 6th grade. He started to take private les- sons from Brad Carlton, a private drum teacher, and has been playing now for 5 years. Second semester of last year Kane joined the school jazz band. He became a valuable member of the band. Last summer, Kane vaca- tioned in Aruba, an island in the Carribean Sea, and had a chance to earn some money with his talents. Everyday Kane would play, by the pool, with another guitar player and a singer. Tt was more fun than money,” Kane said. Matt also got his start in 6th grade when he started on the saxophone. He decided he wanted to play rock so he switched to the guitar. He has played guitar for a year and a half. He has also writ- ten some of his own songs. Like everybody el se, the band has had a dream, the dream of going to California. They practiced two times a week for three hours to reach this goal. The support of their family has also helped them. Making their dream come true was something “Viano” worked towards. They were already on their way, and headed for it. Practice makes perfect, as the old saying goes. Kane Blanford spends many hours practicing songs from groups like Van Halen and Ratt that are played by the band. . 4 , Hard work and talent are com- bined in the band Viano.

Jobs can have positive and negative points by Nanci Whitehouse W endy and Debbie were the best of friends. Debbie had been waiting for months for John Doe to ask her out. Then during school Wendy came running up to Debbie. Wendy: Debbie guess what! You will never believe it. Debbie: What? What? Wendy: I just talked to John and he is going to ask you to go to the movies Saturday! Debbie: This Saturday! Are you serious — I can not be- lieve it, oh my God! Wendy: I’m so happy for you Debbie. After school the same day the phone rings. Debbie an- swered and hears the bad news. She has been called in to work Saturday night. The only thought going through her mind was John . . . John . . . Was the job really worth it? Debbie seriously began to doubt. Like Debbie, many juniors had jobs. “I really get tired of asking my mom for money every time I turn around, so I decided to get a job. Now 1 can spend it on anything I want” explained Roxanne Wellman. Money for gas, clothes, the movies, games, and school were the main money quenchers for those stu- dents in school. Although many juniors did work, some didn’t have the time. Whether it was be- cause of grades, sports, or clubs, jobs weren’t a weekly or daily event. “I used to work but it got in the way, and my grades went down, and 1 wanted to play soccer” confessed junior Jeff Love. Then there were those who compromised. Tim Hamil- ton took on an easy part-time job at a tennis court for some extra cash. But he didn’t let it take up too much time. The jobs varied with each person. “I work at Benetton’s in Clearwater mall and 1 love it. The money is good and the clothes are really neat,” stated Tammy Hopen. Then there were those who had not so great jobs, but needed the money. Sean McGover worked at the famous Ca- pogna’s Dugout doing dishes and busing tables. ‘‘It’s not the greatest job, but it’s easy and I get all I want to eat half price.” Reasons for the jobs varied from one person to another, but it mainly came down to money, an essential need to any teen in school. Juniors 103 uniors Lending a Hand nurse in training by Janet Coffee W hat is a candy- striper? A person dedicated to help- ing others without pay. They also assist the nurses and doctors. Many people called them crazy, or weird be- cause they volunteered their time, but they weren’t. Jennifer Martucci volun- teered her time at Morton Plant Hospital as a candy- striper. She started candy- striping in January of 1984, and stayed with it. Jennifer had approximately 450 hours. Her sis er-in-law, who was a nurse, told her about it. Jennifer said, “I found it interesting to work with people of many differ- ent ages and backgrounds, I also made many new friends.” Jennifer usually worked on pediatrics. “Kids are very interesting people. You can learn a lot about yourself by watching them,” said Jenni- fer. Her duties included making beds, changing wa- ter pitchers, rocking babies, and keeping kids occupied, and she delivered meal trays. She also ran many er- rands for the nurses. Jennifer was thinking about becoming a nurse. “Candystriping gave me an idea of how a hospital really works. I found it helpful to decide my career,” replied Jennifer. Keeping kids happy is very impor- tant. Jennifer Martucci must help entertain the kids on the pediatrics floor.

Herff-Jones manufactured the rings this year instead of Balour. Many students pre- ferred the change in jewel- ers. feeling that there was a wider selection of better rings. 1 think the rings look bet- ter this year,” said Gustavo Borrego, who paid $310.00 for a gold ring and his blue birthstone. Most students bought rings in the color of their birthstone with a tor- nado insignia on its side; band members also had the band insignia on the other side. Prices ranged generally from $107 to $310, with gold or silver bands. There was a wide selection of different colors. Rich Viano, who bought his with the band insignia on it commented, “I bought it to remember band, school, and my friends.” Some students bought rings from jewelers to avoid the lines at school, for better quality, or to find one they really liked. Most students preferred to buy theirs at school because it was more convenient or traditional. Julie Kenton paid $250 for her ring and bought it at Lawton’s Jewelers, “Because it was the prettiest one I could find.” She went on to say, “I’d rather have one that I liked than pay less for one I didn’t.” “I wanted to buy it from school because I thought it would be more traditional,” said Frank Conyers. Although getting a class ring took a lot of money and time, the students felt it was worth it in the end.

Privileged juniors receive cars by Guy Niemann I t’s your sixteenth birth- day. You wake up, run outside, and on the driveway there is a sleek, red sports car with a big red bow on it. That is every stu- dent’s dream, and even a re- ality for some. Many juniors had differ- ent means of transportation ranging from mopeds to vans. Some students re- ceived cars for their birth- day because of a transporta- tion problem within the family. “I was getting good grades, and my dad was tired of driving me around,’ said Raquel Barret. However, for some the car was a necessity in order to get to school and back. Stu- dents who lived in Belleair were rezoned to Largo, but after the protest of many parents, it was decided that the students could attend Clearwater if they provided their own transportation. Taft Flittner said, “I have to driv because I live in Bel- leair.” To many students, cars were mainly needed for get- ting to and from work. Al- though most students lived within walking distance or close to work, some people had to go out of the city for their employment. “1 work in St. Petersburg and it would be a pain if I didn’t have a car to get back and forth, stated Scott Voshall. One important factor for many who wanted a car, was for entertainment purposes on Friday and Saturday nights. To many, most of the weekend was spent inside the car driving to parties, movies or cruising the beach. Most parents weren’t al- ways willing to give up the car for their son or daughter and their carload of friends. Not only did students want a car, but a nice car to drive around in and even to im- press friends with was even better. Whether driving a Volks- wagen bug or rabbit, Fire- bird, Mustang, Jeep or even a motorcycle, juniors always needed some sort of trans- portation. It was just a neces- sity for fun. Kerem Esin, who drives a Volkswagen given to him by his parents said, “I really needed a car because I was always bor- rowing my parents car to go out in on the weekends. Fi- nally, my parents realized how badly I needed a car so they gave me their bug.” Most students had the dream of that surprise sports car in the driveway, but there was only a small per- centage of CHS students that had this dream come true. For those students that don’t have their own cars: keep dreaming! Many juniors had the problem of not being able to own a car. But some, like Taft Flittner, were lucky enough to own one. 108 juniors Having a friend who drove was a definite plus to a friendship. An- drew Hecker debated whether or not to give his friends a lift home. 2 I really needed a car be- cause I was always bor- rowing my parents car to go out on weekends.

One of the nations fin- est liberal arts colleges.” — Davidson College. Y es, as if Trigonom- etry and Physics were not enough to leave the mind totally bog- gled and confused, many ju- niors were faced with the beginning of yet another ma- jor decision — “where in the world do 1 want to go to col- lege?” With the choices ranging from spending two years at I.C., to traveling hundreds of miles to attend schools such as Brown University, few college bound juniors knew where they would end up after graduation. “The more I looked at colleges the bet- ter they all seemed — and that made the choice even more complicated than be- fore!” said John St.Clair. For many, one way to nar- row down the number of col- lege options was to buy a col- lege guidebook for $13.95 and read everything possible on every school. Yet, this somewhat expensive way out succeeded only in giving the reader a brief over-view of what each school was all about. Undoubtedly, for the student ruly obsessed with finding that “prefect” col- lege, guide-books still left a long way to go. Another, somewhat more popular way to get acquaint- ed with colleges was to visit with representatives who came to the guidance office from schools around the country to talk to students. “Even though most of what the representatives said was already in the brochures they gave out, it was still fun to talk with them and to get out of class,” said Kristen Beuscher. College night at the St. Pete Junior College in Octo- ber also gave students a prime opportunity to gather information concerning var- ious schools. With over 100 schools in attendance, stu- dents could literally pick up piles of brochures and pam- phlets, all of which boasted a certain school as “a college for you.” “I came home from college night with enough reading material to last me for the next five years. And then even more started pouring in from schools I had filled out information cards with. I’ll have my col- lege degree before I read it all!” concluded Elizabeth Voulieris.

Despite this somewhat confusing amount to college type, some students were ac- tually able to obtain some faint idea of where they wanted to spend four addi- tional years of schooling. If a junior did happen to be blessed with this stroke of good fortune, he was ready for the next big step in col- lege choosing-visiting the campus. Looked upon as a chance to spend a weekend of “au- thentic college life”, campus visiting frequently took place during spring break or other extended holidays. These visits, which colleges assured were “the only way to truly know if a college is for you” not only gave stu- dents a real view of college. “I got to go to a football game at Duke University and it showed me how much spirit the school had, and how much fun they had, too,” said Elizabeth McArthur. So even though some ju- niors saw graduation as far away, many others sub- merged themselves into the task of finding that one school that would make their college years some- thing to remember. And, at some point in time, admidst all that college confusion surrounding them, these students actually found a school, even though it meant reading every piece of col- lege mail that came their way. luniors RAY’S COMPUTER CENTER 1540 US 19 South 535-1414 Congratulations Class of 1986 William L.

This year’s sophomore class officers, President Eri- ka Spraymen, Vice President Shelly Gooch, Secretary Sherry Weiss, and Treasurer Todd Warner, tried to make a good name for this class. They planned a combined carnation sale, and a Valen- tine dance. “We hoped to have a class trip, or picnic. We (the class officers) tried to bring out the spirit that we know everyone has,” said Sprayman. She really felt strongly that they would get a lot accomplished. “I really had fun, dedi- cated hard workers as co-of- ficers, and we will accom- plish what we want,” said Sprayman. They tried to do activities that were original, not things that past officers had done. “I tried my best to make this class the best there ever was,” concluded Sprayman. “I tried my best to make this year the best there ever was.” — Erika Sprayman 2 c= Sophomores 117 Sophomores Amy Burke Wos Burnham Sylvia Burt Tracy Busch I.atworula Butler Brooks Byrd Kolley Canill Chris Calleja Caroline Campbell Krin Campbell Jeff Carney Cathy Caron Heidi Carothors Sunni Carr Dawn Carroll Fred Casper James Cate Amy Charles Kay Charles Peter Chen Desmond Chong Tara Christenson Willie Christian Peggy Churchill Marisol Cifuontes Chad Clark Kelly Clark Stacey Clark Christine Coachman Russell Coots Janet Coffee Desiree Colombo Debra Costanzo Traci Coyle Gemma Crabba Ifcyloj 1 i aw ford Christina Creegan Scott Crouch John Crow n Sond ra Crum Putt Putt A new form of transportation solves problems by Flip Coleman urv h mv gosh, my I I mom. I ' m so embarrassed! If you found yourself say- ing this, you certainly wer- en’t alone. Many kids were known to become extremely embarrassed when their parents arrived to pick them up either after school or after some other social event. “My parents are great and all but they’re still pret- ty embarrassing,” stated Gary Cuddeback. Many teens not yet old enough to drive, in order to save themselves this embar- rassment, began to look for alternative forms of trans- portation to and from school and to parties and games. Many kids decided mopeds were the solution to their problems. “They’re light and quick and very easy to handle, according to Mike Zuem. Other reasons for having a moped included their low price, incredible gas mile- age, and the fact that you didn’t have to be sixteen in order to own one. In fact, all one needed in order to ride a moped was to understand the rules of the road suffi- ciently to pass the restricted driver’s test and get a re- stricted license, and of course your parents approv- al. Although moped riders were given more respect than bicycle riders on the road it still wasn’t much. Mopeds were often seen get- ting run off the road by peo- ple who didn’t think that mopeds belonged on such major traffic arteries as U.S 19 and Gulf to Bay Boule- vard. “Mopeds are great, but people shouldn’t be able to ride them on three and four lane roads, stated Paul Mill- er. Whether or not they were suited for travel on major roads and highways, they were still the best way for those under sixteen to get around without having to beg for rides from friends and parents. a s 1 1 8 Sophomores Lisa Craig jerry Culpepper Carrie Cunningham Todd Curci Melissa Davis Tammara Davis TYicia Davis Angela DeFonzo Steven Dean jennifer Delcippo Gabriella Delia Debra Deluca Denise Demps Wendy Denhart Desiree Dennis Kimberly Dewald Paul Dombrosky Don Donatello judy Doo Antnony Doria Michele Doria Andrew Doscher Brian Dotolo Gerry Douyard Kevin Downey Paul Droubie Brian Drutman Frank Drysdale Michelle Drysdale Laurence Ducharme David Duhan Kimberly Duller Daniel Dunlap Brian Dunn Keith Dunn J.P.

A Sense of Accomplishment Chris Sanchez is proud of her accomplishments by Taylor Crawford “I feel proud of my accomplish- ments. M Were these the words of George Washington, Albert Einstein, or William Shake- speare? No, these were the words of Chris Sanchez. Chris had been showing horses for about five years and has won a variety of awards. Among her more important awards were the 1983 State Championship and the 1985 Reserve State Championship. “I became interested in showing horses when my fa- ther bought me a horse. I started going to horse shows with my neighbor and I just sort of jumped into it, said Chris. M I have thirteen horses, but Prissy is my fa- vorite, and she is the one I show the most.” Chris’s parents owned a ranch in Brooksville. There Chris spent her weekends practicing. Although showing horses was most important to her, Chris also made good grades and was a member of the school band. “I enjoy swimming, going to the mall and watching movies,’ stated Chris. Even though Chris’s suc- cess in showing horses may not have given her a memo- rable name such as George Washington, Albert Ein- stein, or William Shake- speare, it provided her with a sense of accomplishment. Chris Sanchez rides her horse smoothly. Her horses have placed as high as 5th in the nation.

Driver Education was not a required course for obtaining a license. Howev- er, there were a number of advantages to taking this educational, yet fun course. Mr. Roger Trembly, Driver Education instructor, ex- plained, “The number one advantage of taking this course is that it teaches stu- dents how to drive through everyday driving situations. Some insurance companies also offer a rate reduction.” On the driving range or out on the road, students learned, practiced, and were tested on driving skills that will probably be used for the rest of their lives. Sophomores made up the majority of these classes mainly because they were at the age when driving had just been introduced to them. Tony Valbuena said, “I’ve never driven before, so I really learn a lot in here.” Also, sophomores preferred taking Driver Education be- fore they turned 16 , when that dreaded operator’s li- cense test was usually taken. Driver Education allowed sophomores to practice and perfect their skills so the test didn’t seem so nerve-rack- ing. Driver Education was the most popular elective course at Clearwater High. The rea- son students took this course varied. Scott Perkins ex- plained, “I’m taking Driver Education because of the ba- sic skills and knowledge I learn.” Along with the knowledge learned and the reduction offered by car in- surance companies, stu- dents also enjoyed the new cars they were allowed to drive. These brand new cars were supplied to CHS by Charlie Harris Pontiac and Lokey Oldsmobile. All in all, Driver Educa- tion gave a student a great, educational way to learn how to drive. )ov Harlan Marcia Harris Anri I Hartle Elizabeth Hartung Deborah Haslangar Mark Hatch Michael Hatmakar Amy Hawethorna Robert Havas lamas Hearn Brad Henderson Dawn I lerrington Michael Harsh Matt Hess Dionne Hicks Willie Hill Kimberly Hills Robe Hofstettar Rebecca Holm Robert Holm Matt Home Robert Hoos losaph Hope Andrea Hopter Brian Horn Deborah Hombeck lason Hombeck Mott Howe Steven Hoyt Stephanie Hubbard Darby Hulsey Anne Humphries Melissa Hunt Sulficia Hunter lisa Hutchison Lavell lackson lohn lakobsen Charles larmeson Thn lanser Robert lefferson 122 Sophomores On March 17 Erin Kennedy re- ceived her driver’s license, after taking driver’s education first se- mester.

This conduct code lists all the rules and regulations for the Pinellas County students and each was given their own special copy. Even though all received copies, many students failed to comprehend the serious- ness of the consequences for such infractions as skipping, smoking, talking, tardies and didn’t feel they received proper punishment for their action. “It’s kind of ridiculous that people get detentions for not covering books and other minor stuff like that. I mean why not show some discipline for offenses that deserve it?” asked Amy Wilkes who herself received a weeks worth of detention for failing to cover her math book. One of the most common violations of the conduct code was talking. Many stu- dents received detentions and for continued disobedi- ence, referrals and trips to the time-out room. “I hate detentions as much as the next person but I can see why they get mad about talking. It must be really an- noying to hear people chat- ting away while they’re try- ing to teach,” said Julie Case. Although quite a few stu- dents were suspended for fighting and tobacco use, many were saved from being suspended out of school by being referred to the time out room where according to Mrs. Sane, “We try to respect students and to understand why they’re being pun- ished.” The P.A.S.S. (Positive Al- ternative to Student Suspen- sions) program is used and according to statistics sus- pensions in the target high schools suspensions were reduced by an average of 6%. That is indeed effective in determining student sus- pensions. An anonymous student stated that she thought, “It’s really nice to have a place where you know you can go to cool off instead of being suspended or given detention.” While many students are sent to either the time out room or given suspensions by and for the most common form of discipline as the de- tention is usually given as a deterrent to talking or being tardy to class.

Well, when the Clearwater Niads, a local synchronized swimming team, think of swimming, they think of a type of ballet performed in the water. Some of the swimmers on the team included Nicole Eggleston. Kristi Garcia. Ju- lie Lambdin. Karen Y’ureka. and Lisa Hutchison. The team practiced after school, three times a w-eek at the Morningside swimming pool. “It takes up a lot of your free time, but it’s worth it,” said Lisa Hutchison. Since their routine was done under water, they used special underwater speakers so they could hear the music at all times. Although most of their performance was done in the water, the swimmers also performed out of the water. “We usually start our routines out of the water and work our way into it, stated Kristi Garcia. Some of these swimmers have hopes of continuing their swimming in the fu- ture. “When I get older I would like to get a job as a Weeki Watchee mermaid if I have the time,” said Nicole Eggleston who has been swimming for over a year and a half. Now when you think of swimming you won’t just think of getting wet, but you’ll also think of the Clearwater Niads swim team. Showing signs of vigor.

What do you ' do? Head directly to the mall yith mom’s credit card in and, or just drag mom along Hth you? The quickest way to get hid of those old clothes was to buy new ones. Most stu- lldents shopped in either BClearwater, Countryside or the Outlet malls. Smaller v:areas such as Loehmann’s [(Plaza and Countryside Plaza vere also used. Some of the more frequently shopped stores were Burdines, Ivey’s, Gayfers and Jacobsons. When students were asked what their favorite stores were, females often mentioned The Limited, Foxmoor, Colony and Body Shop, while Chess King and Casual Man were among males’ favorites. “It really depends on what each store has at the time and what I’m looking for,” commented Jamie Hatchett. Many students are caught in a bind because of the high cost of clothing this year. As Laura Larsen said, “I go wherever there are sales!” “Things are so expensive these days. You really have to watch what you try on, be- cause if you like it, and it’s $ 80 , it presents a problem!” stated Nikki Marolf. Some also shopped with friends of the opposite sex. Nicole Eggleston found it frustrating. “You almost have to drag guys in! They’re the worst shoppers in the world! Everything they pick out doesn’t even match.” Daren Lam enjoyed shop- ping with the girls. “I don’t mind, as long as they don’t take six hours to buy a dress.” Clayton Dudjack commented about shopping with his girlfriend, Peggy Churchill, “I just sit out on a bench and eat ice cream and wait for her to come out with something so I can tell her if I like it or not.” Perhaps the clothes of the future will be identical and people won’t have to worry about the latest fad and matching outfits. But then again, maybe the urge to run out to the closest mall to up- date one’s wardrobe will for- ever exist.

Some thought studying was unneeded by Taylor Crawford ((TAT hy should I % % study? I’m W W only in tenth grade. I have two more years ahead of me.” Have these words ever reached the tip of your tongue? Well, if so you better think twice. Many freshmen and soph- omores believed that study- ing was a waste of time and that the grades they made now weren’t going to ac- count for anything in the fu- ture. But this was not true. Most colleges looked at your total four year grade point average as a whole, and not just your GPA during your junior and senior years. ”1 study because I want to maintain a high grade point average so that I will be ac- cepted into a good college,” stated Bill McGuirk. This was the most common rea- son that teenagers studied. Though there was basical- ly only one reason for study- ing, there were a numerous amount of ways of accom- plishing this. Andy Baron explained, “I usually sit in front of the T.V. on my couch with a glass in my hand and study when the commercials come on.” ‘‘I like to keep my stereo at a low tone while I’m doing my homework,” said David Smart. Although some teens can concentrate through a small amount of noise, others like it to be completely silent. ‘‘I like it to be quiet when I study. It is easy to concen- trate that way,” stated Brian Dotolo. Some people also have trouble with their studies. “I really have to work hard to keep my grades up,” stated Dotolo. Most students will agree that by doing your home- work and studying it is quite easy to make good grades. “It’s hard to keep my grades up, but I do by doing my homework,” said Craig Goldenfarb. Now when you lie down your pencil and ask yourself, “Why should I study,” you’ll know that it is all for the bet- ter. 4 kimborlv Tuppor Morrell Tumor Tina Turpack Tracy Turpin Cl ilia Tuttlo Sloven Twardokus Laura Twining Michael Twining Anthony Valbuona Andrew Vallianalos Barbara Vargus Michelle Visalli Melissa Vi iun Coorgo Voltsis Paula Vricos Brian Wade Kli .aboth Waite Holly Waldniann fulie Walk up Marv Waller Michael Wallingford Svlvia Walls korri Ward Todd Warner Vernon Washington Michelle Wassman kim Waters Marni Watson Richard Weeks 130 Sophomores — During 5th period, Brian Dotolo an- swers questions for Mr. Ewbank’s World History class.

One way in which David Reina, Kara Hendry, Nancy Baker and Kim Berfield chose to take part in school was to run and be elected as the four officers to lead the freshman class. Reasons for running for of- fice were almost as diverse as the people who were elected to fill them. Presi- dent David Reina explained his reasons by saying. “I just wanted to make it a great year for the freshman class.” Vice president Kara Hendry summed up her reasons with, “1 ran because 1 really wanted to be a part of the freshman class’ leadership.” Running for office did, however, bring about one unforeseen disadvantage. Running for a freshman class office made it really ob- vious that I was a freshman — so I just had to get over the embarrassment and be proud of the fact.” said trea- surer Kim Berfield. But, being a class officer also carried with it many ad- vantages as well. Being a leader of the freshman class taught me exactly how things work at CHS and how to go about getting things done,” said secretary Nancy Baker. After being elected, the of- ficers began making plans for the upcoming year. Freshman class dues of $.50 were collected in December as an effort to enhance the budget. “The new ruling which made candy sales il- legal made it a lot harder to think of profitable fund rais- ers,” said David Reina. To get around this, a car wash was planned and the money from it was used for a dance to be held during second semes- ter. Though only their first year at CHS, the freshman class officers strove to make the year one for their class- mates to remember. 1 d4 Freshmen Carrie Bass Mark Bateman David Bates Dena Baxter Sharon Beafore Erik Becker Reginia Bell Stephanie Boll Marcy Benken Scott Bennett Kimberly Berfield Janie Berryman Steven Beuelhymer Robert Bews Shari Biafore Jeff Billings Bambi Binkley Hylah Birenbaum Sara Blakely I ' abian Blakley Andy Blauvelt Sherill Blunt Peggy Bogaess Robert Boling Micheal Bonner Ginger Bonncv Darien Booploe Lisa Borsje Tammy Bouchard Raymond Bourg Linda Bowers TWka Boykin Freshmen 135 |.

The answer to this question is any high school schedule. The different forms of punishment that schedules underwent was unending. The main culprit of these schedule crimes were the freshmen. The first and most popular form of abuse that the schedule faced was be- ing yelled at. “I was mad at my schedule when I got it because I got all the mean teachers,” said Dave Reina. Another favorite way to damage schedules was by ripping them to pieces. “I ripped my schedule up and threw it away after I memorized it because I didn’t need it any more,” said Sean Hayes. More creative students found enjoyment by bury- ing, burning, or puncturing their schedules. “I ate my schedule be- cause my friend bet me that I wouldn’t,” said an unidenti- fied student. A student who accidental- ly lost his schedule before he had memorized it hurt him- self more than he did his schedule. “Students who lost their schedule had to go to the office and get a new copy,” said guidance coun- selor Mrs. Price. Sometimes students had to wait in line or find the right person in or- der to get their new sched- ule. Most students found it embarrassing coming into class late and explaining that they had lost their schedule. Getting a schedule changed was difficult, especially for freshmen. “Freshmen don’t have many electives or choices of classes, and some of the classes are filled be- fore freshmen can sign up for them,” explained Mrs. Price. Even though almost every schedule was lost or de- stroyed before the semester was over, their memories lived on bringing thousands of students to the correct classes every day.

You build your own ramp, of course. And build his own is just what Chuck Dyer did. When the last skateboard ramp in town closed in June, Chuck decided to build his own. I like to skate so I built one,” he said, “plus I knew some of the other guys would help”. With about seven other guys, Chuck undertook the weeklong project a week be- fore school started in August 1985. However, most of the work was done by a guy from Tampa named Dave Richardson. “Dave sketched the design of the ramp and directed the overall project. The project cost approxi- mately $ 1200 , with the mon- ey coming from, “my mom, me, and some of the other guys,” said Dyer. After the completion of the ramp, Chuck opened up his ramp to everyone. Most- ly friends like Scott McKee, a freshmen, Brent Lowes, a junior, Tony Simotes, and people with personal invita- tions skate in Chuck’s yard. “I appreciate Chuck’s mother for letting us build it,” said Scott McKee, a regu- lar skater. “It keeps us off the street, (without it, we’d) be getting into trouble and do- ing drugs.” Chuck didn’t charge any- one to use his ramp. But if there was any repair to be done, he would ask for dona- tions from the skate- boarders. For example, within the first 3 months, Chuck added 4 more feet of floor bottom to enlarge the ramp to its dimensions of: IOV 2 ft. high, 2 ft. vertical, 12 ft. fly, and 8 V 2 foot transition. — Or half of the backyard. Chuck’s parents did not oppose the building of the ramp. However, his father’s rosebushes had to be moved and his mother felt relief when the skaters were gone. His neighbors didn’t really mind either. When accidents like a skate-board flying through, and breaking a window or landing on a roof occurred, the skater took care of it; therefore they pre- sented no unsolvable prob- lems. Now that Chuck’s built his ramp, there’s one place to skateboard. But if you have the time and money, you can always build your own.

Gotcha! I bet those of you who saw the word “procrastination,” without even looking at the definition, felt a bit guilty in- side. I know you probably did because I, too, am an avid participant in this all- American habit. Shoot, I didn’t even have to look the word procrastination up! Speaking of putting off, this story is a prime exam- ple! I had a month to write it, and when did the pen hit the paper? Naturally the day be- fore deadline. I think most of you students could have re- lated to my situation. Hey, do the words term paper make you a bit queasy? You know that assignment you get at the beginning of the six J i S ' weeks that seems to form it- self the night, or should I say morning, before it’s due? Every person I asked con- cerning what they procrasti- nate most about all replied, “homework”. Now I know all of you could relate to that in some way or another. Andy Burwell told me that his biggest “put off” was ask- ing girls out. “Now that’s some major procrastinating action,” he said. When I asked Scott Flesch he said, “I don’t know, I’ll get back to you on it”. Mrs. Byron, a typing teacher at CHS, even said, “I have to give my students their assignments at the be- ginning of the period and say their due at the end just so they’ll do it!”. Greg Hoone said, “I usual- ly procrastinate about get- ting to first period”. When I asked Cannon Co- 13 $ i A (if A V i- 1 leman about it he said, “I try to procrastinate about an- swering questions like this!”. How many of you forgot to buy a yearbook the week they were on sale? Well, don’t feel alone because 1, too, kept saying, “I’ll do it to- morrow.” Hey girls how about that diet you’ve been putting off, or how about cleaning out your purses? You never know, their could be some money at the bot- tom, so get to it. Oh, and guys, I wonder if she’s free next Saturday night? You’ll never know until you ask. Lee Manly procrastinates about, “going to the dentist, I hate pain!” he said. When I asked Tony Deifell for a last minute quote, he simply said, “Ask me later”. Tony Simotes looked at me and said, “procrastination, what’s that?” Jamie Hahn Michelle Hair Greg Hale Chip Hall Gwvn Hamel Tangi Hammons Andrew Hanson Ronald Harmon 1 m l Melissa Harper Thomas Harris Vicki Harrison Eric Hartwig Deidre Hatchett Sean Hayes Jason Heffron Heather Hegh Mary Heil Jefferv Henderson Kara Hendrv Ron Henkef Lloyd Hensley Shelley Herrin Stephanie Hess Lance Hidalgo Freshmen 141 Kim Hi Id Daniel Hillman James Hite Michael Hodge Marty Hoffman Sean Hole aciward Holeman Matt Holmes Brian Holm(]iiist Mark Holmstrom Kenny Hopkins Bridget Hardesty Duane Horman Christina Horton Justin Howard Jennifer Howloy L.

This is Webster’s definition. Maybe this accounts for part of the pressures put on ninth graders. Freshmen had difficulty getting into, and staying in clubs. A lot of the time when there’s a freshman and a senior going out for a posi- tion in a club, the senior will get it. said Elizabeth Pirro. Some people will agree that this is the way it’s supposed to be. hut it was hard for a freshman to get involved when they were always competing with upperclass- men who didn’t want them around. Another big problem was transportation. Since most freshmen didn’t drive, they either had to find a friend who could drive, or get their parents to take them, which sometimes proved embar- rassing. “1 had problems get- ting around to the games be- cause none of my close friends drove.” said Chris- tine Nichols. Seniors and other older students were another pres- sure freshmen had to face. “We get picked on. Upper- classmen think they’re bet- ter than us. said freshman class president Dave Reina. Kenny Hopkins commented, “The first week was bad. but it’s okay now”. Meeting older students was difficult for the freshman. “Getting to know people outside of the freshman class is a prob- lem,” said Tanel Esin. Another factor that made the freshman year tough was the homework. Not much homework was given in the middle schools so it was a big change coming to high school. “A lot of my classes are really hard,” replied Kenny Hopkins. Some of the freshman had it easier than others. Chad Parmesian said, “It hasn’t been as hard for me as most freshman because I had a popular brother who kind of paved the way for me.” This years freshman had a lot of pressure, but at least they have one thing to look forward to, picking on next year’s freshmen. . 142 Freshmen !

What did fresh- man Shannon Robbins col- lect? Hippopotamuses. A hippopotamus is a heavy bodied, short legged animal that resembles a pig. They are found only in Afri- ca and can weigh over four tons. Robbins had been collect- ing hippos for more than five years; “I started collecting hippos when I was in third grade,” explained Robbins. She collected hippos of ev- ery size, color, and origin, and bought new ones every chance she got. “I don’t know how many 1 have right now. I think I’ve got between 100 and 150,” commented Robbins. There was a simple reason why she started accumulat- ing hippoptamuses. “All my sisters had collections and I felt left out, so I just started collecting hippos,” said Rob- bins. Shannon got her hippos from friends, parents, craft fairs, stores in the mall and up the east coast. They ranged in cost from one dol- lar, up to fifty dollars. “My favorite one is one that my mother bought me at a craft fair in North Caroli- na,” explained Robbins.

Though they may not have been as large as other students, they did have some things going for them. For one thing, short people were able to get through the halls between classes better than anyone. If there was a hole in the crowd, small peo- ple passed through it while others waited for the people ahead of them to move on. “You get through the halls faster cause people don’t see you, you just hit them and run,” said Ali Meissner. P Another area that small c students took advantage of 1 occurred when class discus- sions took place. If a short person didn’t want to be called on he was usually un- seen by the teacher. “When the teacher starts asking questions about something I don’t know, I just duck down and hope she doesn’t notice me,” said one freshman. In some sports like basket- ball, the lack of height was a disadvantage, but in most athletic events lack of size didn’t matter, and in some cases it even helped. One example was junior Brian Dixon, the leading rusher on the football team who was only 5 foot 4 inches tall. Freshmen track and cross- country runner Steve Gallo- way said, “If I was any taller I probably wouldn’t run as fast.” Of course there were dis- advantages in being short. Some shorter students had a tough time seeing the black- board over larger students who sat in front of them. Another problem was car- rying books home. Everyone hates carrying books, but shorter people, though sometimes just as strong as bigger students, had to strug- gle when carrying more than 2 books. “I use a book bag because it’s too hard to carry books under your arm,” said Paul Concillio. Besides a few other incon- veniences, short freshmen didn’t report any problems adjusting to C.H.S.

These are all just a small part of what is needed to be successful in gymnas- tics. For Susan Alfieri, a 4 foot 11 inch tall freshmen, the hard work and long hours that she put into the sport have paid off. Susan, who dedicated five years to become the best possible, stated that, “It all started when my friends and I joined a recreation class”. Since that first class she moved up through the ranks to become a two time nation- al champion. These national competitions took her to California and also to Ft. Lauderdale. While at her second national meet she placed second in the vault and eleventh all-around. A great deal of hard work went into gaining such pres- tigious awards. “I practiced at La Fleurs Gymnastics club in Largo on Monday, Tues- day, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday for 3 V 2 to 4 hours a day,” explained Alfieri. Her practices consisted of stretching, drilling on her routines, and a great deal of intense conditioning. With her rigorous training schedule Susan found very little time to be by herself and with her friends. “It’s very time consum- ing,” stated Susan. Although gymnastics had it’s disadvantages, it did pre- sent her with some valuable training for the future. “It helps me a lot with my self discipline, and it also helps me in other sports.” When she was asked what her favorite part of gymnas- tics was she simply replied that, “I like the traveling and meeting new people”. c CD s C 3 CD f-H Freshmen 151 C.

That’s exactly what this year’s adminis- tration had to contend with because of merit money and a generous man. Luckily, the administration worked to- gether as a team and figured it all out. “We were fortunate to have such cooperation among the administration. A problem was not just one person’s problem, but every- one’s problem to solve,’’ stat- ed head administrator Ed Evans. The reason the adminis- 1 54 Faculty tration ran so smoothly was the newly revised adminis- trative team plan. The major change was the title of dean became obsolete and was re- ferred to as Assistant Princi- pal. This and other changes were all revisions made by the administration itself. They did so because the county school board decided it would be best if the school’s administration de- vised their own plan. After- ward, they would submit the plan to the school superin- tendent to be accepted or re- jected. Ours was accepted, along with all of its changes. G. Niemann Assistant Principals Mr. )ohn Nicely and Mr. Tom Reid patrol the CHS perimeter on the “deanmo- bile, M looking for students thinking of going “out to lunch”. One of the many jobs for assistant principal Mr. Ed Baldwin, driving “deanmobiles looking for students breaking school rules. This years administrative team consisted of: Ed Evans, Principal; Ed Baldwin, Doro- thy Cheatham, John Nicely, Debbie Ramker, and Tom Reid, Assistant Principal; Elaine Jablonski, Registrar; Harold Raddick, Activities Dir.; Roberta Keim, Book- keeper; and Betty Clyburn, Principal’s Secretary. Together they were able to consider the money prob- lems and solve them. First, there was $91,210 in merit money that had to be spent in worthwhile ways. This was largely the responsibil- ity of the bookkeeper and her assistant. Then Mr. Rich- ard Ott named Clearwater High the sole heir to his $600,000 fortune in his will, which was to be used for scholarships. The money sat in a bank collecting interest until the requirements for the scholarships were decid-l ed. “There is a possibility of I full four year scholarships to | be awarded,” explained Ev- ans. In the end the administra- tion handled it all in stride. Too much money is never enough though, is it? X mm i n If.

As you enter the room all talking ceases, and everyone stops what they are doing to see who the new person is. Then the whispering begins, “Who’s that?” . . . “What’s he doing here?” . . . “Where did he come from?”. Awkwardly you walk across the room, open your grade book and begin calling roll. You are “the new kid in school”, but you are “in charge”. Although the problems as- sociated with attending a new school differed be- tween teachers and stu- dents, the essential feeling remained the same; excited but yet nervous. “On the first day I was really excited about school. I was so anx- ious about all the new stu- dents I was going to have,” stated chorus teacher Miss Rebecca Huffman. Having performed professionally at such places as Opryland, Miss Huffman was very qualified for the job. For some, working at CHS was their first real teaching experience. These teachers had to cope not only with a new surrounding, but also with the anxiety that came with a first job. For most. though, after a few days, ev- erything settled down, and their teaching c areer offi- cially began. Miss Kelly Ho- ban, a starting drama teach- er, even found time to help direct some of the school plays. “My favorite part of teaching is working individ- ually with my students,” stated Miss Hoban. Some, on the other hand, had taught before. “Before coming here to Clearwater, I taught about 3Y2 years in South Dakota,” stated Mrs. Joanne Roby. But even with past experience, becoming accustomed to a large school proved difficult. The administration also acquired new members. Mr. Tom Reed gained the posi- tion of Asst. Principal. Pre- viously a science teacher, he commented about his work by simply saying, “I love it! Two new counselors, Mrs. Barbara Cambell-Ewert and Mr. Dick Lane, were also added to the staff. Their re- sponsibilities included counseling students on per- sonal and academic prob- lems, arranging schedules, and giving general advice. Other new teachers to CHS included Mrs. Majorie Ciaccio, speech therapy; Mr Rudy Coffin, health and PE. Mrs. Deborah Griffith- Stone, home ec.; Mr. Ear! Schreiner, small engines and Mr. Leroy Smith, print- 156 Faculty X l r Vi mg. Surviving through being mobbed in the halls, over 100 new faces to meet, and even the first day jitters, each of these new teachers agreed that their jobs were worth spending a few hours being the “new kids’ a school. “My favorite part of teaching is working in- dividually with my stu- dents.” — Ms. Kelly Ho ban An 10 af i si mm , This year the school acquired many new teachers. Coach Rudy Coffin was among those chosen to become part of the staff. During fifth period gym class he gives instruc- tions on the proper method of serv- ing a tennis ball.

She is missed by every- one who knew her. Faculty 157 tridents ' Friend Officer Brooks fits in very well by Dana Daniels “H e is a very pro- fessional per- son who knows his job. He molded and fit into the school like he has been here for years”, said Mr. Nicely. Officer Brooks was an added resource to the school environment. His reason for being brought here was to give lectures about the laws in Florida and to teach reali- ty and what it truly means. “Most students haven’t real- ly been shown reality,” said Officer Brooks. “I don’t mean to be gross or any- thing, but I do think the stu- dents need to see the reality of problems.” Students tend to have a negative view of the police. Officer Brooks’ job was to help students re- alize that the police are hu- man, too, and all they were doing was their job; they weren’t picking on kids or anyone. “Officer Brooks broke the barrier between the students and the law en- forcement,” said Mr. Ed Bal- dwin. As a result of being brought here, his main job was to aid the Asst. Princi- pals. He helps the Asst. Prin- cipals enforce the school rules. He also did light coun- seling and directed the stu- dents to the right people when further help was need- ed. In addition to all his oth- er jobs, he worked directly under Mr. Baldwin. Officer Brooks and Mr. Baldwin let each other know where they were and what they did or where they were going. If any problem occurred for Officer Brooks, he let Mr. Baldwin know first. Some people say there couldn’t be a better person for the job than Officer Brooks. He has been here for two years and has achieved a lot in that time. Mark Weaver said, “He is a fine re- source, and he should be ap- preciated”. Officer Brooks reached out to the students to let them know he was there for them and was their friend as well. “He was a great guy, and he’s always been around for me”, said Greg Billings.

The big things, the little things, the colorful things, the things you take for granted. Now imagine how these things would look through a wall of waxpaper. This is how Mr. Royal, a physics teacher, sees life — as though he was looking through waxpaper. Al- though he is not totally blind, he is legally blind. To read, he must use reading glasses or magnifying glasses that are M more powerful than anything you can find in Eckerds.” Born July 19, 1939, he grew up in a small, 25-acre farm in Pulaski. Virginia. As his father was a diabetic, his mother ran routine urine su- gar tests on her children. At around age eleven he found out he had diabetes and a year later he started using insulin. After graduating from Pu- laski High School, he went to Bridgewater College in Vir- ginia. While there he met Bonnie Quesenberry, whom he married in 1960 between his sophomore and junior years in college. During his years in col- lege, he paid little attention to his diet and took large amounts of insulin. In the spring of 1968, while he was attending graduate school, the retina in his left eye broke and his eye started bleeding. His doctors be- lieved there was a direct connection between the large insulin intake and his loss of vision. The summer of 1968, he went to John Hopkins Hospi- tal in Baltimore. They ran tests and said there was nothing they could do. That fall, after finishing graduate school, he moved to Florida to teach physics at Clearwater High School. Then, on September 18, 1968, 3 weeks after school started, his right eye blurred during his fifth period class. “That was a little bit of a shock,” he recalled. “I made arrangements to be absent the next day.” He has had several oper- ational on his eyes. In 1981 he had the lens of his left eye welded to the back of the eye with laser in preparation for an operation to relieve the pressure in his left eye in December or 1984. Then, in February, 1985, he had yet another type of laser treat- ment performed on his left eye. These operations im- proved the sight in his eyes but not tremendously. Life for Mr. Royal is as nor- mal and active as his disabil- ity allows. He has 2 sons and one daughter. He enjoys camping and working with a group of boys called the Roy- al Rangers, an organization founded in the Assembly of God, and takes them scout- ing in the summer. His blindness makes hinj dependent on others fo: rides. For example, he rided with Mr. Phillips to school Other than this, though, Til pretty independent,” hd said. His voice betrayed no sig: of bitterness as he said, ’ learned to trust the Lord fo what sight I have.” His sight doesn’t affect th way he teaches.

That about covers it for some teachers. They come to school in the morning, just before the tar- dy hell rings and they leave one step behind their stu- dents at 2:34, not to be seen again until the next morn- ing. This wasn’t true, though, for all teachers. Many spent a great amount of their free time giving free tutoring sessions while oth- ers sponsored clubs and coached sports teams. A common sight in the English office after school, before school, and even dur- ing lunch periods was to see frantic students waiting to talk with an English teacher. “Mrs. Parker was my sopho- more comp, teacher, and I learned a great deal in her class. Now whenever I’m stuck on a writing assign- ment, I know I can go to her and she will always find the time to help,” stated junior Lee Ann Brown. Another way teachers got involved in the school was by sponsoring clubs. If it hadn’t been for those reli- able teachers who helped or- ganize meetings, raise mon- ey, and take the rap when the club officers failed, many of the activities through the year would have been non-existent. One of the most tedious clubs to organize and run were the publications. “Many people called them clubs, but the publications were actually more of a sec- ond job.” said Tuyet Oberle. Mrs. Judy Cannaday and Mrs. Shirley Moravec, could both be seen in their rooms helping students meet their deadlines almost any day of the week. Mr. and Mrs. Way were the sponsors behind many of the school’s activities, such as homecoming. “The main reason I am so involved in the school i s because it’s a family tradition. My father taught here, my husband teaches here and my daugh- ter goes here. We just enjoy going to school activities,” said Mrs. Dottie Way. Finally, a third way many teachers got involved in the school was by coaching. While many of the coaches were P.E. teachers, some such as the soccer coach, Mr. Jim Campas, were academic teachers. Coaches were a very big part of any high school athlete’s life. “Miss Leonard, our cheerleading I ' M coach, was more than just a I coach to us. She helped us make the most of our cheer- leading talents, but at the same time she was like a mother and friend to us. We all knew that we could go to her with any problem and she would find time for us, said senior cheerleader Kim Fry. Many teachers were in- volved in the school this] year, whether by coaching, sponsoring a club, or just spending time with a stu- dent. Senior Jamie Borgra summed it up by saying, M I think it’s great that teachers spent their free time with | students. That makes the students and teachers grow closer, and raises school spirit which in turn makes I us have a feeling of unity.” fc Mm. |ano Malatosta — 1 p- ing t Mm.

Mr. Gerakios has lived in this area since he was 10 years old. He has done graduate work at sev- eral colleges including Kent State. University of Florida. and the University of South Florida. Before coming to teach at CHS, Gerakios held quite a few different jobs. He worked at U.S. Steel, sponge boats and the ship yards building boats. Gerakios has taught for 27 years — all of them at CHS. He enjoyed teaching CPS and Psycholo- gy the most. He felt that CHS had “the greatest student body of all schools. His one complaint was the general appearance of the school. He felt that it could have been improved by better land- scaping. Actively involved in school, teaching was not just a job for Gerakios. being the senior class sponsor was al- most a nine to five job in it- self. For almost 20 years he has helped seniors prepare for graduation and all the ac- tivities that accompany it. Located at the corner of Gulf-to-bay and Hercules, the war memorial was just one of Gerakios’s projects. He was also responsible for the erection of the funny looking stone thing in the front of the school. That “stone thing happened to be a time capsule full of CHS memorabilia. Gerakios got the bricks with which it was built from the old CHS building on Greenwood. He also, with the help of his son, landscaped C wing and var- ious other wings.

It sounds like a real killer course to take.” “No, I haven’t. I’ll ask my counselor about it tomorrow when I ask her about the new print shop class.” The few days that schedule changes took place during the begin- ning of the year was probably one of the most hectic times the counselors faced this whole year. When stu- dents found out from their friends about the new courses that were being offered, the coun- selors’ offices were overrun with students who wished to ex- change classes. They ig- nored ‘the voice’ that came on over the inter- com each morning that stated, “Do not request a oices schedule change unless you are scheduled to take a class in which you have previously re- ceived credit ...” One of the newly add- ed classes was the Cre- ative Photography class taught by Mrs. Chrien. There was only one pe- riod of this class each semester, so the number of students permitted to take this class was limit- ed. Another of the new classes was the print class taught by Mr. Le- roy Smith. During this class, Mr. Smith taught his students to use the printing machines for practical applications. The new courses that were added to the cur- riculum aided students in becoming a bigger part of CHS on the In- side. Science courses are a breeze for some, but for others, they take con- centration and many hours of studying. Learning how to use a mi- croscope properly is one of the first required assignments of each year of Biology.

How to Get $91,000 The Merit Money was earned by the students and is now going to be spent to better educate them By Dana Daniels Last year, every school was given an option for either School of Dis- tinction or Merit School. Schools could try for one or both. The qualification for School of Distinction were teachers earning points by doing community work and by earning college hours. The qualifications for Merit School was simply based on the students. Students were random- ly picked from a com- puter to take a test, and in P.E. they were also tested on their physical education. Our school did both. Results came back in September, and, as it turned out, we didn’t score high enough in the School of Distinc- tion. But we did score the highest in the Merit School. Our school re- ceived $91,210.00, more money than any other school in the county. Not many schools put in to it, but as Principal Ed Evans said, “This was a one time thing so we went for it. Our school had nothing to lose, only to gain.” The greatest thing about the Merit School was that the students of CHS won that money for the school. Last year a few students were called out of class to go to the pods and take a test. And then, all of a sudden, in gym classes, they went from regu- larly scheduled soccer to a physical fitness program. This strange change could not be figured out by many students. Then at the beginning of a new school year 1985-86 in September it was fig- ured out. They had all been tested for the Merit School money. The outcome was that our school tested the highest and won the most money, and the students did it all. Now that we got all this money, what were we to do with it? $91,210.00 was a lot of money and all of it had to be spent by Decem- ber, or we would lose it. Things had to be planned out carefully and wisely. First an outline was given to Mr. Evans by the school board, then a committee was picked. The committee consisted of Mr. Evans, Mrs. Nancy Chrien, Mrs. Helen Wilcox, Mr. Mike Way, Mr. Gus Haynes, Mrs. Dot Cheatham, Mr. Ed Bald- win, Mr. John Nicely, Mrs. Hendry, Mrs. Fur- ney, Mrs. Rosalie Da- vies, and Mr. Rod Bohn. This was the budget committee that was picked just for the Mer- it Money. There were four categories that the money was to be spent in. The categories were: 1. computer hard- and soft-ware, 2. library and A. V. materi- als, 3. instructional ma- terials, and 4. support services clerical (and or) computer. Each category received $22,802.50. Teachers put in requests for what they needed in their departments. Any teacher that put in a re- quest got their money. After all the money was allocated, all de- partments had their money orders in and typed to Mr. Evans. Then Mr. Evans took the money proposal over to Mr. Hugh Kriever, an assistant superintendent at the School Board. After Mr. Kriever finalized ev- erything in November, everything was sent off by December. The money was finally go- ing to be used by Janu- ary. Merit Money 169 Growing Up Like students, the English department grows up to the world of computers by Cynthia Henry Remember the days when the most difficult thing you learned in English classes was how to spell cat? Or how about when you learned about nouns and verbs in middle school? Then you hit high school! If you were a freshman, probably the most difficult thing you encountered was writ- ing a decent paragraph; for sophomores, it was writing an essay; for ju- niors, it was writing a re- search paper; for seniors who took English classes, taking essay tests. Many students growled, griped, and muttered curse words under their breaths when forced to do these things. Few realized that the teachers, like the students themselves, were only doing what they had been told. The county told the teachers what to teach. “I think they make us write too many essays,” said Michele Kachinski. To help the students with their work, the English department, with a share of the merit money granted to the school, bought approxi- mately 13 new Apple He computers to open up a computer lab in F-9 for their composition classes. The computers were in addition to the five computers the Eng- lish department had re- ceived from the REACH organization the pre- vious year. Some students appre- ciated the computers in F-9. “They’re rather effi- cient in saving time and energy, a godsend for the hand I write with,” said Tim Owens. Other stu- dents were not so appre- ciative, however. “It de- stroys the art of cal- ligraphy,” said Mike Sunnucks. They also bought new literature books for the advanced ninth and tenth grade classes, and one of the regular twelfth grade class. Despite these new renovations to make learning easier, many students still thought English was a little too difficult for theii liking. “English ap- pears to be easy, but it’s not.” Calligraphy was just one of the many projects of- fered in Mrs. Distler’s Hu- manities class introduced as a new elective this year. Laney Lewison, Stacy Graham and Jackie Helphenstine take the ini- tiative to learn the art of early English writing style. J.

H English 171 Spending Spree The math department receives over $10,000 of merit money to help better educate students by Cynthia Henry When Mr. Evans an- nounced that Clear- water High School had been endowed with one of the largest Merit grants to a high school by state, most students’ reaction was, so? However, the minds of the math teachers raced ahead and they rubbed their hands together as they thought of all the things they needed for their classrooms. Eventually, the math department received over $10,000 from the Merit Money granted to the school. With the money, they updated their equip- ment and added new in- struments. To meet stan- dards in the Advanced Placement Computer Science and computer math classes, the depart- ment spent over $7,000 on computer equipment and software. They pur- chased a new. large color screen with interface for $500. They also spent $600 for a VCR and color monitor. With the re- maining money, the de- partment subscribed to math and computer pro- fessional journals and purchased instruments like calculators, protrac- tors, and compass rulers. In addition to the com- puter and classroom equipment, many of the math classes also re- ceived new books — the Algebra 1 and 2 and the Trigonometry classes. Furthermore, the math department insti- tuted a new class — Probability and Statistics — while they dropped General Math 3. But even though the math department made changes to enhance a student’s education, they were not always ap- preciated. “I think math is a four letter word,” said Jennifer Kaplan. Pro- Algebra is a math class that provides a basis for Alge- bra 1 and II. It includes the study of variables and word problems. In Mrs. Brock’s class. Lance Hidalgo and Vicki Harrison discuss the right way to set up a word problem. It was not unusual for Mr. l.auronti to call students up to the board to work on new problems. Having enough problems on her own with this new type of problem, Stephanie Bell tries to avoid comments from the class and she goes on to figure this out on her own. 1 2 Math , . A pilot program, developed by the University of Chicago, in Algebra I was implement- ed by Mrs. Doliboa. “The motto of the program, ‘Math is not a spectator sport, ’ en- courages students to get in- volved,” said Mrs. Doliboa. Melanie Gonzales works on some problems for the new J. Burch As Patrick McManaman picks the turnips that his Ecology class grew from seeds, Ginger Boney and Ann Lee stand by to help.

Future World Our technological world requires an understanding of science by MariAnn Bradley Squeals of horror filled the room. Knives flashed as they cut into the . . . frog? Yes, a frog, because this is a sci- ence class and they are participating in the dis- section of a frog. Science was one of the few classes that provided hands-on ex- perience for the stu- dents. It was a class tak- en by some only be- cause they were required to have 3 sci- ence credits to gradu- ate. Others, though, truly enjoyed the op- 2 portunities it allowed f them. Labs and demon- •fstrations provided a break from the regular schoolwork. “We had one lab where we bent glass tubing, ” said Grant McKeel. Field trips, although they were rare, pro- vided a chance for field study. This was espe- cially true of the Ma- rine Biology class. “We took several trips so that we could collect fish for our tank,” said Erin Attkinson. “We also went to the Marine Science Center and Sea World.” Maybe the most use- ful science of all was Earth Science. “You learn about map-read- ing and star forma- tions,” said Greg Brad- ley. In Earth Science they studied the planet Earth. Other sciences were used as preparation for a career. “I’m planning on majoring in engi- neering,” said Eric Vin- cent. “Physics is the ba- sis for engineering.” Some students chose not to take science at all. “I didn’t take sci- ence because I already have my three credits,” said Sandy Smith. Oth- er students enjoyed sci- ence so much they chose to take two sci- ence classes. “1 took Physiology Anatomy and Biology 2H be- cause I enjoy science,” said Cindy Flory. The Physiology Anatomy class studied the hu- man body. They fo- cused primarily on the structure and functions of the body. Science students will never forget the smell of formaldehyde or the Bunsen burners that didn’t light. They will use the knowledge they acquired in sci- ence for the rest of their lives. To live in this world you need science. “You need to take science because this is a technological world and you need to have an understanding of it,” said Mrs. Helen Wilcox. Science 175 The Past In order to better understand the present, we must go back to the past by Kelli Ruggie The Hundred Years’ war, the American Po- litical System, the Great Stock Market Crash, and Foreign Policies were but a few of the subjects that were studied in many history classes. As Kelvin Jackson, a sophomore, stated, “History to me is learn- ing about the past.” This was how many students defined histo- ry. However, this defi- nition only just touched the surface. Not only did history In Amnrican Govnrnmcnl Honors taught by Mrs. Scott, studonts arn exposed to many aspects of overyday Itfe. Here David Reina and Matt Colo spend a few mo- ments during their free timo looking over a USA Tbday nowspapor that the class re- ceives once a week. D. Daniel deal with the past, it also dealt with pres- ent day activities. With the new credit changes over the past couple years, many changes were made in the history depart- ment. This year’s senior class was the last class to take C.P.S. for gradu- ation. This new ordi- nance stated that the upcoming class would now have to take eco- nomics instead. In addition to the ba- sic American govern- ment, world history and American history, such courses as psy- chology, and law stud- ies were also offered under the heading of history. These courses could have been taken as an elective, but not as a substitute for re- quired history courses. The brief study of var- ious different emotions and the different func- tions of the brain were just a few of the topics that were covered in psychology. The basic laws and how to inter- pret them was a gener- alized description of law studies. Many students, even if they didn’t enjoy his- tory, usually liked one of the courses better than another. “I liked Ameri- can history because I have a great pride in my country,” stated Mandy Daniels. Marcia Harris stated that she enjoyed world history because, “I enjoy learning about the history of other coun- tries. I feel that every- thing that has happened to them has led to our country’s formation of government and our freedom.” However, many who are now se- niors feel that C.P.S. is the best. “C.P.S. is a lot of fun because Mr. Ger- akios teaches very well, and the stu- dents in my class are funny,” stated Shery Adams. So even if history wasn’t your favorite subject, many kept in mind that if it weren’t for those in the past, our life may have been one of to- tal despair and ter ror. Many teachers have attempted teach us that we to study history learn about our past and that we learn from our mistakes, 176 History History In order to learn about the law, it took more than just reading about it. TYisha Per- menter realized this and took a law class so that her ques- tions could be explained. Coach Tsacrios starts his AP History class with a reading assignment. Chapter Twen- ty-Three, Business Pioneers and Growth of American His- tory. After the reading assign- ment is finished, he has a class discussion on the chap- ter. As the semester draws to a close, Chester Robinson takes a few moments during World History class in order to properly organize his note- book into the waste paper basket. As we all know, missing a day of school is more of a set back than an advancement. In Mr. Gerakios’ second peri- od C.P.S. class. Houda Magh- raoui copies notes given on the day she was absent.

He catches up to you and , . . and . . . pulls your flag. You’ve missed your big chance to score a touchdown. That is a typical day in P.E. Students were re- quired to have two cred- its of physical education to graduate. “Even though 1 only needed two years, l took all four; it gave me a chance to forget school and have some fun,” stated senior Nanci Whitehouse. In ninth grade students were required to take personal fitness and teams sports. According to the county curricu- lum, basketball, softball, football, track and field and volleyball would be the sports played in “team sports”. Personal fitness, on the other hand, included mostly classroom work. The next year of P.E. included a semester of individual sports. Some felt it was better to take their class the first two years of high school. That they would have an extra elective in their junior and senior years. Others felt differently, though. Tracy Bradley explained. “I’m taking P.E. in my junior year be- cause they require two credits of P.E. and since I didn’t take it in 9th, l have to take it now.” Students have mixed feelings about P.E. Mike LaManna stated. “P.E. is a great learning experi- ence. There is no other class where you could think, relax and learn about sports. 1 believe P.E. is an all purpose, fun class.” But, on the other side Nikki Marolf said, “It’s stupid because those that usually take part in the sports were usually the ones who need the exercise the least. They make us take the class because they think we don’t get any exercise outside of school, and that’s not true.” Students were graded mostly on participation and tests. After having two credits of P.E., one could sign up for weight lifting. P.E. also helped people get in shape if they were involved in after-school sports. “P.E. provides me with the extra time to practice for track,” stat- ed Kevin Kennedy. All in all, students looked to P.E. with a mixed feeling of both enthusiasm and dismay. 178 P.E. Health P.E., Health — i Each year CPR saves many lives.

No Passport Required Students get a taste of any foreign country without leaving the U.S. by Mari Ann Bradley “No se pone las manos en la puerta, por favor.” (Keep your hands away from the door, please.) “Viens ici s’il vous plait.” (Come here please.) All around you, peo- ple rattle on in their own language. They laugh and share jokes you can’t understand. This is the time when you wish you had taken a foreign language in school. Foreign languages are not just spoken in for- eign countries anymore. Many Spanish people live in the United States, especially Florida. “I might go down to Miami to school and Spanish is useful down there.” said Lee Warner. Being able to com- municate with people in their own language was the main goal of the foreign language department. Another reason many students took a foreign language was college entrance re- quirements. Many col- leges now require two years of a foreign lan- guage as an entrance requirement. “I took a foreign language be- cause it was required to get into college,” said Steve Plant. Future medical stu- dents also benefit from a foreign language. “I took Latin because I want to be a doctor,” explained Kim Horton. A foreign language could help not only with communication with patients but also in understanding medical vocabulary. All foreign languages help in discovering and learning about new cultures. “A foreign language makes one more appreciative of a culture that is different from his own,” stated Spanish teacher Mr. Barry Wright. Communication has become an important part of everyday life. A foreign language class allows you to expand your abilities to com- municate. Studying a language and a culture different than yours can give you a better appreciation and un- derstanding of your own. “The subject mat- ter is useful in later life. It also increases your vocabulary.” said Ali Goldenfarb. Foreign Language 181 lo type on a computer takes patience and many errors to learn how to type with accu- racy.

Business Living Dreams Knowing more about the business world can make your dreams come true by Amanda Nunziato Think of owning a luxurious fifty foot yacht, a posh mansion in Beverly Hills, your very own airline! But how can you own all the finer things in life meant only for the elite? Through money of course! But how can you get it? A good knowledge of business and how to use it. “I think business education is a practical course that trains stu- dents for vocations if they are not interested in four years of col- lege,” stated Mrs. Stew- art, a business educa- tion teacher. The business educa- tion department start- ed a new four year pro- gram of study. It con- sisted of several sequences of study in which the student studied different types of business education courses necessary for his intended vocation. Afterwards he went to college and continued with his program. The department re- ceived many new com- puters and terminals. For instance, Typing 1 received thirty-one TRS-80 computers to type on using the word processing program SCRIPSIT. Data pro- cessing was to receive a new Tandy 6000 Mul- tiuser system with six terminals. “As yet, date process- ing still needs comput- er stations. We’re hop- ing to find some money somewhere to bring the number of stations up to at least twelve,” stat- ed Mrs. Sweeney, head of the business educa- tion department. Ranging from future goals to just enjoying the class, the students had a variety of reasons for taking the courses. “I’m taking Typing 3 because I want to be a secretary of some sort and typing is required for it,” stated sopho- more Betty Griffith. “Because everyone is using computers, I want to use them too,” stated senior Lisa Lam- bert about word pro- cessing. “I like typing.” stated sophomore Jennifer Johnson of Typing 3. The most popular courses were data pro- cessing, the five levels of typing, business math, business law and business manage- ment — which was rap- idly becoming more popular, especially with the guys. Doug Schiller said, “I took Business Law I and II because I want to be a lawyer.” A good business mind and knowledge can improve living and make dreams come true.

Guidance Department offers new services to students The Guidance Depart- ment offered many stu- dent services, only a few of which were known or used by the majority of the student body. The more popular services included those offered by the Occupa- tional Placement Spe- cialist, the Peer Facili- tators, and the Guid- ance Counselors. The Occupational Specialist, Mr. Napier, was a link between the school and the busi- ness community. He helped students six- teen and older find jobs in almost any field. Also, Mr. Napier used special computers to help students find out which careers they were best suited for. Furthermore, he of- fered alternate choices like P.V.T.I. and night school to high school dropouts. In addition, he organized such events as career day and career shadowing. The Peer Facilitators counseled students on personal problems, gave new students tours around the school, assisted the guidance counselors, and tutored students with their school work. The Guidance Coun- selors offered a multi- tude of student ser- vices, including assist- ing students in choosing or changing classes, counseling stu- dents individually on personal problems, and setting up group semi- nars for each grade lev- el. The counselors also referred students to special counselors like the TIPS counselor, who dealt wiht areas of sexuality; the school social worker, who dealt with students having personality, achievement and or attendance problems; the Itinerant Hearing Resource Teacher, who helped students with hearing problems; and the attendance special- ist, who dealt with stu- dents with problem at- tendance. Other student ser- vices included the School Resource Offi- cer, Officer Brooks, who spoke to classes on law enforcement, con- ducted criminal inves- tigation on violations of the law on School Board property, etc. The Activities Director, Mr. Reddick, organized all the sports games. Student Services 185 A Taste of Life The Vocational arts department gives a taste of what students could do with their futures 186 Vocational Arts What is school really for? Some think of it as just a stage between ba- byhood and real life. Others may think of it as a step to their ultimate goal, college. For some, though, high school is where they learn the skills they will use to support thomsolves lat- er in life. Most of these people can be found in the practical arts build- ing or the home eco- nomics section of B wing. Classes, like woods, metals and gas engines gave the students a chance to learn a skill that would be useful to them after school. Ca- reer decisions can be difficult to make, but classes such as archi- tecture, drafting and printing let the student experience first-hand what those jobs would really be like. “I’m very interested in architec- ture and I’d like to fol- low up in college with a degree,” said Dave Harmsen. While metals and woods appealed mostly to guys, girls were more likely to sign up for child care, sewing or foods. “In foods we make everything from salads to cheeseburger pie. We also make fun- nel cakes, coffee and tea,” said Laura Davis. Child care was an es- pecially popular class. It offered a chance to work directly with children for two peri- ods a day, four days a week in the Tornado Child Care Nursery. For some students, school was a waste of time. Other students used their time wisely by enrolling in voca- tional arts classes. For these students, school was a chance to get a head start on their fu- tures. D.

We have our first Interact meeting today after school, and I’m not even sure who our sponsor is yet! Well, I guess I’ll find out when I get there.” “Oh yeah? Well at least you have a spon- sor! The Latin Club is still looking for one. And, have you ever tried to break in a new Student Government sponsor?!” Conversations such as this were heard all throughout the halls, at lunches, and even in the classrooms during the first few weeks of school. Confusion arose as to who the new club sponsors and officers would be. Along with the changes in sponsors and officers, many other changes also occurred. One obvious change came in the way these clubs would be run. Each new club presi- dent had his own ideas of how his club should operate. Another change came in the goals and objec- tives of these clubs. “I want the band to stick together even after marching season is over. Our main goal is to be- come a better band, and 1 think we have become one of the finest bands in the state of Florida,” said co-drum major Wendy Kachinski. Joining as many clubs as possible helped stu- dents show that they were a part of CHS on the Inside.

Coleman Old Traditions Die Hard Despite changes, Key Club upholds its standards by Robin Castle T radition. Fireworks on the fourth of July, Evergreens at Christ- mas, cotton candy at the fair, and Key Club at CHS. As one of the oldest organizations, Key Club has become known not only for their many service projects, but also for their reliability. Not only did the club have to face the dwindling number of members, as did almost all clubs, but also a change in leadership. Kelli Geoghegan took the office of president in mid-November. Despite these hardships, the club kept up the tradition of fol- lowing their motto, “Man hours for mankind.” With approximately 55 members, the club faithfully did many service projects. During the Christmas holi- days, the club helped the Po- lice Explorers wrap gifts for underprivileged children in a project called Christmas Cheer. They also helped sort cans for the Salvation Army canned food drive and in the Salvation Army Toy Store. Other community service projects included parking cars for the Kiwanis Sun- coast Bowl and participation in Sparkling Clearwater Day. “We received many letters and commendations for our service projects,” said Kelli Goeghegan. Not only did Key Club do community projects, but they also held a car wash in November and a carnation sale for Valentine’s Day. The carnations that weren’t sold were given to a local nursing home. The money raised was used to help pay the way of members going to the con- vention held in Orlando in April. Zone rallies were also held in October and March. Also, the money raised was used for the club to purchase an ad in the yearbook. Amazingly enough, the club found time for fun activities also. For Tornado Tales, the club did a “Mister Rogers” skit with member Bill Glass as Mister Rogers. In Novem- ber a scavenger hunt was held, and a New Year’s party was held at John Hoope’s house. “After the work is done, it’s easy to have fun with your co-workers,” stat- ed David Glass. Despite the problems, Key Club kept up the tradition of being every active in com- munity projects and still finding time to have fun. s B ' S Many fun activities were held to balance out the many service pro- jects. Dave Haemsen and John Sin- clair enjoy a huge chocolate chip cookie at an informal party. With the money raised from the carnation sale and car wash, the Key Club bought an ad in the year- book. In February, pictures were taken of the club while in the bot- tom of the pool. Key Club 197 People Helping People Two clubs contribute aid to others Medical Explorers by Robin Castle uck!” “Wow!” . . . “Awesome!” . . . “Gross!” . . . “Look at that!” These were a few of the comments that were heard when students were shown human organs at the Medical Explorers meeting that dealt with pathology. Medical Explorers, a 20 year-old organization, had about thirty active Clear- water High School members. “I became interested in Medical Explorers about three years ago when Tom Warren became president. That was when the club be- came very popular and got most of its present mem- bers,” said Ali Goldenfarb, the club’s vice-president of administration. The club dues were five dollars. Most of the money went to the Medical Explor- er Association of the Boy Scouts. What money was left over went into the treasury. The club also held car wash- es and a big garage sale at Kurt Frahn’s house in March. The money that was raised was used for a trip at the end of the year. The trip was planned as a one-day cruise in which the club paid for half of each mem- ber’s fare. At the first meeting , the club received a tour of Mor- ton Plant Hospital where meetings were held every other Thursday night at 7:00. “The meetings were always interesting. There was al- ways something interesting to see and hear about,” said member Kelli Ruggie. Mrs. Cindy Andrie, the school sponsor, and Joan Thomson, the Morton Plant R. Castle After Dr. Schaffer explained basi- cally what went on in the pathlo- logy ward of Morton Plant, the occa- sional autopsies and the testing of cancer, members were allowed to look around. Beth Plisko and George Chambers did a little ex- ploring of their own. Many members got a chance to touch what at one time was part of a living human being. Ladonna Jack- son touches thelung while Lyn Va- lenti and Rachel Mayer look on in amazement. Advisor, worked to make Medical Explorers a memo- rable experience. The meet- ings each dealt with a differ- ent area of the hospital. Some of these areas includ- ed pathlogy, neurology, psy- chiatry, and surgery. Vice- President Kim Horton stat- ed, “I’m not sure if I want to go into the medical field or not, but this club has given me experience that will help me no matter what field I choose.” This was a club in which students not only met new friends, but also gained life- time experience. Usherettes Robin Castle I hey weren’t the bas- ketball or football players. They wer- en’t the sports announcers. They weren’t the half-time entertainment. But what by Rob i T they were were the usher- ettes, and they had a very important role at every bas- ketball and football game. The usherettes were the smiling girls that answered such questions as “What sec- tion is this?” “Where is the bathroom?” and so on. Un- der the leadership of Mrs. Espey, the usherettes were a group of students who assist- ed at various school func- tions by ushering, being guides, and giving out infor- mation. Their two main functions were to seat peo- ple with reserved tickets at football games and to assist at basketball games. Mi- chelle Arguin summed up her feelings about usher- ettes by saying, “I like usher- ettes because I can help my school and people at the same time.” R. Castle 198 Medical Explorers R.

Deifell Usherettes 199 — Service With a Smile Interact finds satisfaction in serving others by Robin Castle W here could some- one have gone, if they had wanted to be in Tornado Tales, paint a house, clean up Clear- water, or even fly a kite? In- teract, of course! The Interact Club had ap- proximately 100 members that met every other week in the library to plan exciting activities. The Interact Club, sponsored by the Rotary Club, was under the leader- ship of Mr. Ken Shoup, their sponsor. “Mr. Shoup was al- ways there to help us. He wasn’t just one of those peo- ple who helped out just so that the club would be in ex- istence,” said Nanci White- house. The major goal of the club was service. This was evi- dent when the club painted the house of an elderly lady who lived alone. They also participated in Sparkling Clearwater Day. Further- more, at Christmas time the club took presents to the sick at Mortan Plant hospital. Under the direction of the officers, the club also did many fun activities. Some of these activities included Tornado Tales. The club per- formed the skit, “The Home- coming Queen’s Got a Gun,” taken off and MTV Video. They went to a convention in the spring at Daytona Beach. On top of these, they also flew kites at Clearwater Beach for the world’s record. The school as well as the Governor supported the pro- ject. “The Interact Club was a place where we could come and have fun while helping others. We’re all so close, it’s like a big family,” agreed members Karen Valentin and Nina Scott. As a result of their numerous activities and service projects, Interact proved to be enlightening and helpful to the school and the community. Sabrina Sweeney stated, ' “I was proud to be in a club that helped so many people so much.” During Homecoming Week, the ever so popular event of Tornado Tales was one of many memories.

French and Spanish clubs live it up Spanish Honor Society by Cynthia Henry “Hola! Que tal?” “Bien, y tu?” “Muy bien, gracias.” I f the above conversation is completely unfamiliar to you, then you were obviously not one of the stu- dents who took a class in Spanish this year and you were definitely not one of the select students in the Spanish Honor Society. To qualify for the Spanish Honor Society, students had to have four consecutive se- mester grades of B’s or bet- ter. The eligible students paid a $3.00 fee for a certifi- cate and a patch which they received on November 13, 1985, the night of the induc- tion ceremony. Approxi- mately thirty new members joined the thirty old mem- bers this year. The sponsors, Mrs. Mabel Gill and Mr. Barry Wright, along with the officers, Brian Miller, President; Lara Fink- lea, Auxiliary President; Lori Valenti, Vice-President; Bernadette Leyden, Secre- tary; and Christine Roy, Treasurer, tried to plan in- teresting activities for the members to vote on when they held their once-a- month meetings. The activities included field trips to the Tampa The- ater to see a Spanish festival, the Salvador Dali Museum and Epcot Center, a picnic, a banquet and a Christmas party. The students joined the club for various reasons. Membership in the Society “Sounds good when apply- ing to colleges,” said Alice Lee. Sophia Dixon joined, “Because I like taking Span- ish and hope to go to Spain to learn to speak Spanish flu- ently.” Judy Doo joined to, “Get a better insight on cul- ture than you could in nor- mal classes.” “The older members also felt the club had improved over the previous year. Last year it was a waste of time to be at the meetings because we didn’t do anything. But this year the Spanish Honor Society has improved,” said Debbie McMahon. French by Laura Larson A s they say in France, “Vive!” In other words, “Live it up!” That’s exactly what the French Club did. The officers of French Club were Francia Kousath- anos, President; Betty Val- liantos, Vice-President; Val- erie Anderson, Secretary; Elizabeth Voulieris, Treasur- er; and Caroline Schmitz, Historian. Mrs. Brenda Nelms had the honor of sponsoring the club. About fifty-five members actively participated in the club. “Mrs. Nelms was a plea- sure to work with,” stated Kousathanos. Some of the activities this year included a picnic, a Halloween party, ice skating, and Congress, a state con- vention. Members who at- tended the convention com- peted in plays, dictation, spelling, and other areas. “Once we got organized, everybody had a great time. We enjoyed each other’s company and got to know each other better,” com- mented Voulieris. The French Club celebrat- ed the end of the year with a banquet. Money for the ban- quet was raised during a Christmas sale in which members sold posters, mir- rors, and other items. “We had a better variety of activities this year, which helped to make the year more fun and memorable,” added Anderson. A strong club is based on strong leaders. French club officers Fran- cia Kousathanas, Valerie Anderson and Caroline Schmitz run an after- school meeting efficiently. Let The Good Times Roll German and Latin clubs celebrate the year German by Chris Laursen W hen someone thinks of the Ger- man club, the first thing that comes to mind is gummy bears. How- ever this year that wasn’t true because of the ordi- nance against selling food at school. The German club members wern’t allowed to sell the famous gummy bears that can still be seen on some ceilings and win- dows, but the missing gummy bear funds didn’t stop the club from having a good time. The 45-member club held various activities including picnics, a Christmas party, a trip to Busch Gardens and an end of the year celebration. “At the trip to Busch Gar- dens, my friends and I had a great time,” said Tracy Ley. This year’s officers were President Paul Larsen, Vice- President Eric Freita g, Sec- retary Sandye Smith, and Treasurer Kim Gitchell. Bobby Ahern commented about the club, “We had a great time this year and the officers did a good job.” Latin by Julie Walkup “V olvant bonus tempores. ” (Latin for “Let the good times roll”) That’s exactly what the Latin Club did this year even with a couple of setbacks. “We didn’t really have a sponsor at the beginning of the year,” stated Chris Cran- dall, but by the beginning of second semester, Mrs. Kelly Hoban became the new sponsor. “We then planned more events for the rest of the year.” Also, the club had a decrease in the number of members which decreased the interest. “We tried to plan fun ac- tivities and we had car washes to raise money for State,” said Scott Voshall, Treasurer. Amy Wilks and Chris Crandall were con- suls, Tommy Hobin Secre- tary, and Julie Walkup and Nikki Mardf were the Histo- rians. The Latin members participated in Districts and State Competition. Lee Lil- lard said, “It was so fun. We got a chance to meet new people and get to know ev- eryone better.” “This year was fun, but hopefully we’ll be able to have more parties and ac- tivities next year,” stated Scott Voshall.

They were responsible for the subjects during the com- petition. These subjects in- cluded math, science, litera- ture, humanities, and gener- al knowledge. “Every competition allowed us to match our intelligence and knowledge against the top students from other schools,” said Brian Miller. Science Club by Kirk Laursen Y he CHS Science Club made its debut this year under the spon- sorship of Mr. Chuck Jones, a science teacher, and under the leadership of President Chris Middlebrook and Vice-President Robert Pot- ter. Jones explained, “The purpose of the club is to get together with students who want to enjoy science.” In all, about twenty students from various grades and with various types of scienti- fic interests became mem- bers. One objective of the club was to have each member design and build a science project. Then the best pro- jects were chosen to repre- sent the school in the 1986 Science Fair. One project studied how magnetic fields affect the growth of plants. Another was designed to measure the electrical input from stars and another pro- ject simulated celestial me- chanics (the motions of plan- ets) on a computer. Many members also par- ticipated in field trips which dealt primarily with astron- omy. The club members went to the Bishop panetar- ium and SPJC Science Cen- ter. One more endeavor of the Science Club was the par- ticipation in the county sci- ence competition on Febru- ary 21. In this contest, four Science Club members re- presented CHS and compet- ed with schools from all over the county. Although the contest did not require par- ticipants to be members of a science club, Jones felt that the club members were some of the best science stu- dents at CHS and therefore should represent the school.

Academic Team by Alescia Fleming and Julie Michael T he A-Team has ar- rived, but they left Mr. T. behind. In pre- vious years Honor Roll and Dean’s List students had spent most of their after- school hours home studying. Now these students were given a chance to become a part of a school team. The team is better known as the A-Team. This year the team consisted of six mem- bers who were top students and who competed in four competitions. “The competitions were held like Sale of the Cen- tury,” said Tim Owen. Each team sat around a circular table with a buzzer in the center. The reader read the s question to the four teams. | The first team that hit the button answered the ques- tion. If the question was an- swered correctly, the team received one point. If the an- swer was incorrect, the points were subtracted from their score. Each person on the team was Science Club 207 Joining a club often allows you to make new friends. During a meet- ing FCA members, Anne Thomas, Brooke Follett, and Karen Currey talk about school.

He talks to the group about various things. FCA is not only open to athletes; it welcomes others, too. Jimmy Harri- son takes time to talk with Cliff Moore, the advisor. Just for Thought FCA and Chess think in the right direction F.C.A. by Amanda Nunziato T he students talked animatedly among themselves, their eyes lit with interest and en- thusiasm. They paused to listen to a single, intense speaker who brought up in- teresting questions and to- pics and then discussed the topic. “We talk about how Jesus works in your life and can help you and we talk about what kids want to talk about. We then see what the Bible says about it,” stated Jan Jen- drynski. The Fellowship of Chris- tian Athletes met on Mon- day nights at Kristen Wick- man’s house. They enjoyed an hour or two of being with friends and discussing topics of interest. The members would raise questions and see how the Bible applied to the situation. Stated Karen Currey, “It opens people up. It’s one time of the week where you can come and forget your c problems and focus on the topic. It’s a really special time.” Over Christmas vacation, they had a New Year’s Eve party that lasted all night long. Over sixty people came to it. They had a barbecue and a ' scavenger hunt that took them throughout Bel- leair. “On the scavenger hunt list we had things like Rolls Royce Keys, dogs, and Christmas trees. It was real- ly fun and some people actu- ally got the keys,” stated Anne Thomas. For later in the year, the club planned on having a bonfire in Kristen Wick- man’s backyard. Also, they planned a camping trip on February 21 for a weekend, wilderness experience. “I like it because it’s time to be with my friends, and I learn new things that I will use in life,” stated Kristen Wickman, FCA secretary. Through fellowship, un- derstanding, and caring, the FCA members gave and learned valuable informa- tion that many would use in the years to come. Chess by Chelsea Matthews On Wednesdays 18 dedi- cated Chess Club members meet in D-l after school for an hour and half of chess playing. In these meetings they would play against each oth- er thinking up new strate- gies to bet their opponent and advance up the ladder. This ladder determined their rank. If a player won, he advanced up the ladder, and if he lost he went down the ladder. “Last year we held two tournaments. One in the spring and one in the fall. At these tournaments we competed wit h other schools in Pinellas County and had a lot of fun,” said Brian Miller, one of the school’s best players. This year they had a hard time finding schools with active chess clubs, but plans were made to compete with other schools in the spring. The officers were Presi- dent Mike Sunnucks, Vice President Robert Potter, Sec- retary Paul Maseman, and Treasurer Brian Miller. “I would advise anyone who wants to learn about chess to join the chess club because it is a lot of fun,” said Tim Owen. As the chess club contin- ued to search for that one school who had a chess club, they continued to learn more strategies, so when that school came along that would be able to say check- mate. Chess takes a lot of hard work and concentration. Kisyuk Kim finds that out in a tough match against Mr. Chancy. A simultaneous chess match is when one person plays several peo- ple at the same time. The defeated Mike Sunnucks was defeated by George Giannakoulias. They both were defeated by Mr. Carswell. 210 DECA DCT and DECA Students were re- quired to work 24 hours per week to get out after fourth period.

DEC A and Diversified Co- operative Training (DCT) were programs in which a student went to school half the day and reported to work in the afternoon. “Students join DCT to learn a trade while in high school and at the same time receive high school credit for participat- ing in their chosen trade,” said Mr. John Roberts, DCT Coordinator. In addition to taking a class period for these pro- grams, each member was automatically enrolled in their perspective club. Both clubs took part in various ac- tivities. There were break- fasts, banquets and competi- tions. Fundraisers, although, were a bit of a problem due to the change in the school board policy regarding can- dy sales at school. “Since we haven’t been able to sell can- dy this year, our budget has been drastically cut,” com- mented Chris Kirchoff, DECA Treasurer. As for the class period, both As soon as a student enrolled in DECA or DCT, they automatically became members of their prospec- tive clubs.

First-semester members left school after fifth period at 12:15 and were required to work 15 hours a week. Second semester, if they had all the required courses out of the way, they were al- lowed to leave after fourth period. This change also re- quired a minimum of 24 hours per week on the job. “I like getting out earlier, hut sometimes it’s hard to get that many hours in a week,” replied Krystal Prater, a se- nior member. There was a definite dis- advantage to being in DECA or DCT The members rarely had time to participate in any extra-curricular activi- ties. Most of the members were at work at 2:35 when school got out; and that was the time that club meetings usually took place. They did have club activities that par- tially made up for what they missed. “I really enjoyed the breakfast we had at the Bank Restaurant, commented Jodi Stephens. Overall, DECA and DCT provided a way for students to gain experience in a field of their choice therefore making them even more pre- pared to advance in the working world. DCT 211 6TOER Career Oriented FBLA provides business opportunities by Tuyet Oberle F BLA, otherwise known as Future Business Leaders of America, is a club which helps to prepare students who wish to become busi- ness leaders or involved in various other related skills. FBLA was one of 12 chap- ters which won the National Gold Seal Award. Chapters were judged on their activi- ties during the school year for this award. CBE, or Communicative Business Education, gave club members a chance to experience the business world first hand. In honor of the employees who gave these future busi- ness people help and advice, a banquet was given. “I became interested in a business career and FBLA offered me an opportunity to experience the business world before I would actual- ly enter it,” said Senior Bren- da Allen. The club sponsors were Mrs. Parra Byron and Mrs. Clegg Miller. Part of their job was to organize guest speak- ers and other activities that would help educate the club members on the business world. Dana Daniels commented, “One of the best things about CBE is that Mrs. Miller is al- ways there to give support and reassurance when need- ed.” CBE-FBLA Chapter I has existed as long as CHS has. Not only does this club aid students in deciding upon a business career, but it also helps to develop a person’s self-confidence and charac- ter. These are qualities that | are necessary for anyonej who is interested in becom- ing a part of the business p world. “FBLA helps me to devel- op not only business skills, but also helps to promote my personal responsibilities as well as civic responsibil- ities,” summed up Allen.

Deifell T he philosophy of the Marine JROTC at Clearwater remains constant; “Better Your Best!” Whether it is on the field, ri- fle range, athletic field, or the classroom, that is the name of the game. The suc- cessful cadet competes with him or herself to beat their last score. Then comes the exhilaration of achieve- ment, one of the greatest sat- isfactions a person can enjoy. As an individual or team effort, this is the essence of a successful program. As a unit, Clearwater has earned the Secretary of the Navy Honor School Award for three consecutive years. The award has been in existence for three years. The activities of the unit were numerous including some 55 color guard perfor- mances, three parades, three major competitions. 12 rifle matches, and furnishing two runners in the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington, D.C. ROTC also did commu- nity service such as provid- ing drill presentations at Bay Pines Veterans Hospital and five local nursing homes, Plum Elementary School, the Sparkling Clearwater Clean-up effort, the Thanks- giving and Christmas canned food collection, the “Toys for Tots” drive, and furnishing 40 cadets to man a runners’ aid station for the Marine Corps marathon. For something different than the usual high school course offering, the unit traveled to Quantico, Virgin- ia for orientation training at the Marine Corps Develop- ment and Educational Com- mand. The cadets saw first hand what is required of a young man or woman at Of- ficer Candidate School, Ba- sic School, and the Embassy Guard School. Markman- ship, training, demolitions observation, and flights in a CH-46, helicopter froih the Presidential Squadron rounded out t he experience. When it came to sightsee- ing, the “ROTZIE’s” visited the Washington Monument, the Jefferson Memorial, the Vietnam Memorial, the Tomb of the Unknown Sol- diers at Arlington Cemetery, Lee’s mansion, Mt. Vernon, the Smithsonian’s American History, Natural History, and Aerospace Museums, the Marine Corps Aviation Mu- seum, and the Fredericks- burg Battlefield. There were many rewards to being in ROTC, but they had to be earned. “ROTC is just like anything else; you get what you put into it! It can either be just a club, or it can lead to many lifelong re- wards,” summed up Ken- drick Allen. • For three consecutive years, the unit has earned the Secretary of the Navy Honor School Award. Before every game, ROTC students can be seen presenting the colors. ROTC 215 Many things are discussed and planned at S.G.A. meetings which are held on Tuesdays. Tricia Foster writes down some upcoming events. The president has many duties, such as conducting meetings, and announcing various messages at as- semblies. Tony Deifell, the leader of S.G.A. hosts Tornado Tales, an an- nual homecoming event. During November, S.G.A. held a canned food drive. Over 7,000 cans were brought in by students.

President Tony Deifell as he quieted the eager voices of the Stu- dent Government Associ- ation (S.G.A.) members. About 20 students regu- larly attended meetings on Tuesday afternoons and ac- tively participated in plan- ning and carrying out the various S.G.A. activities throughout the year. The 1985-86 officers were Student Government wanted to break the traditions set by previous years. They changed the format of Tornado Tales by holding it in the gym. Sinbad, a comedian, also came to lunches the day of the perfor- mance. He joked around with stu- dents such as Kelly McQuigg and Kerry Griffin. Tony Deifell, president; Cheryl Barcenas, vice-presi- dent; Leslie Rondeau, secre- tary; Matt Merryman, trea- surer; Bridget Bagley, corre- sponding secretary; and Scott McQuigg, publicity chairman. They operated undes the leadership of Mr. and Mrs. Way, the S.G.A. ad- visors. “Mr. and Mrs. Way did a great job with handling us and our ideas. We were not your typical S.G.A., and some of our ideas were off the wall!”, stated McQuigg. Having a comedian appear- ance and a rock concert were definitely not common high school events. The annual Homecoming events were the major pro- ject of S.G.A. Many months of planning and making ar- rangements were involved. “This year we wanted to change Tornado Tales and set a new tradition for CHS,” commented Leslie Rondeau. Setting a new tradition was exactly what they did. Comedian Sinbad flew in from California just in time for Tornado Tales and thrilled the anxiously await- ing crowd. Tornado Tales was held in the gym, and the queen, Michelle DiMathia was announced that night. A video-dance party in the gym followed the Home- coming game. All of these ideas were new. “Overall, I think that Homecoming was more suc- cessful than previous years,” said Barcenas. Another major event sponsored by S.G.A. was the Thanksgiving canned food drive. The project brought in more than 7,000 cans, three times more than last year. S.G.A. sponsored a catered breakfast for the two classes with the most cans. “We were very pleased with the enthusiasm during the drive,” commented Deifell. SGA also sponsored Homecoming, a prom fash- ion show, a spring concert at Ruth Eckerd Hall, a memori- al for Sid Perkins, and par- ticipated in preparations for Project Graduation. Deifell and McQuigg agreed that the goal of S.G.A. was to make the year the best it could be. “We wanted to be original, creative, and better than ever before.” said Deifell. “It was great working with Scott, Tony, Cheryl, Matt, and the rest o f the kids in S.G.A. We all worked really well together, helping each other out.” concluded Ron- deau. S.G.A. 217 D. Levine 219 Aqua Clara Two and a half year veteran staff members Carrie McLaren and Lyn- ette Eaddy look over pictures from the staff photographers. The pic- tures were used in the new photo- journalism section of the yearbook. This year a new position on staff was established. Kelli Ruggie, the staff’s first copy editor, was respon- sible for making sure all stories were written and were free of er- rors. A Year Long Job Yearbook staffers chronicle the events of the year and create a book of memories by Karen Clemow I t all started on May 29, 1985. The 1984-1985 yearbooks had been handed out the previous day, and the time had come to get started all over again. The thoughts of deadlines, work- shops, birthday parties, workdays, and pub bowls ran through the Aqua Clara staff members’ minds. Positions were decided upon and new staff members named. After much time and consideration, the positions of Editor-in-Chief and Man- aging Editor were decided upon and named as Karen Clemow and Lynette Eaddy, respectively. While most high school students reveled in their summertime freedom, going on vacations, relaxing at the beach, or spending time with friends, the members of the staff spent time learning new yearbook techniques, selling ads, and getting to (“Cont.”) J. Burch A Year Long Job (cont.) know the other members of the staff. “Have you seem my Key Club Story?!” “I can’t find my ad layout!” “Do you have a grease pencil I can borrow I don’t have time to find an- other one right now!” Fren- zied statements such as these could be heard in abundance around deadline dates. It seemed that people, especially section editors, became transformed at these certain times. Those who generally seemed normal, care-free, and happy, sud- denly became intense, wor- ried people who others auto- matically avoided. But, as the deadline pages were mailed to the publisher, these people once again be- came their original fun-lov- ing selves. “During deadlines you see a side of people you never knew existed,” commented Robin Castle and Lynette Eaddy, “but you have to re- member that everyone is un- der a lot of pressure and they don’t really mean anything they say.” On May 16-19, four mem- bers of the staff, including last year’s editor, Peggy Bou- lay, attended the annual Florida Scholastic Press As- sociation workshop in Or- lando, Florida. Many staff members met again on July 28 to travel by bus to the University of North Carolina, Charlotte, to attend the annual Delmar workshop and to take a tour of the Delmar Printing Plant. The Delmar Printing Com- pany organizes this work- shop each year to bring staffs up to date on the latest trends in yearbooks around the country. “I got to know people a lot better which helped me to work with the group and have fun at the same time. It was a time to have fun with people without a lot of pres- sure,” said Julie Walkup. Birthdays were another excuse to give the staff a legitimate break from all the work involved in creating the yearbook. Another way to break the monotony of work during class time was the official ‘workday’. On these designated workdays, many staff members stayed after school, generally more hours than required, having a lot of fun while getting the work done that was needed. Through it all, the mem- bers of the Aqua Clara staff worked together to produce not only another award- winning yearbook, but also a group of friends which became almost like a family.

And we even threaten to quit. But through the pres- sure of deadlines and endless hours of work, Clearlight somehow seems to sneak into your heart becoming a part of your life — a part that is difficult to let go. For years, Clearlight has been respected as one of the best high school newspapers in the nation, winning awards left and right. But the task of maintaining such a reputation is a difficult one. We like to call ourselves “professionals”, but we’re always learning and striving to improve. Any staffer will tell you about the hectic deadlines. They write, re-write, focus, develop, straighten, crop, type, organize, scream, ar- gue, sweep, glue, interview, x-acto, laugh and cry. It’s all in a day’s work. But one of the most depressing thoughts is that as soon as we finish one deadline, it starts all over again! The majority of the work- ing hours are spent in a tiny room in E-Mail called the “Pub” (publication room). The room, originally a rest- room, is painted blue and stocked with second-hand art tables. During deadline most of the staff works, cooks, eats and sleeps in this hole in the wall — we call it home. When we’re not in the Pub or out on the streets of Clear- water selling ads, we can be found doing what we know best — covering the news. This year, Clearlight staffers have met President Reagan, covered the death of Sid Per- kins, and expressed views on Not For Profit, a local un- derground newspaper. The red letter year also included Clearlight’s first-ever 20 page issue, award-winning advertisements from Coke and Charlie Harris, and ma- jor changes in layout and de- (Cont.) 222 Clearlight D.

Journalists are unsung heros by trade, and Clear- light staffers have come to accept the fact that they get little praise for their work. Readers never say, “That’s a beautifully designed issue!”; it is always, “Hey, stupid, there’s a type-o on page five!” We often ask ourselves in the midst of a deadline, “Is it all worth it?” It may not seem worth the time and ef- fort at the moment, but when the issue is finished, and we sit down and take a look at the product of sleep- less nights, panicked hours, and times of tears, the over! whelming feeling of pride is | incredible. Sometimes we’ve hatelPI each other, and sometime we’ve been the best oP friends. But one thing is cei ' tain . . . these are times will never forget.

After all, the world needs more starving actors, right? Dangerous Corner and The Clumsy Custard Horror Show were the two plays performed this year. Miss Hoban, while substituting for Mrs. Papas, produced Dangerous Corner. She had played Olwen in her high school production of the play and was therefore very qualified to give assistance. “The teacher is terrific! She is not only a director, but a friend,” stated J.J. Borland who played Miss Mockridge. Mrs. Papas produced the comedy The Clumsy Custard Horror Show. She also taught such classes as Introduction to Drama, Drama I, II, III, and IV. “I think that whether or not a person wants to act for a career, drama is a great course to take,” said Jennifer Brown. It’s held a spring awards ceremony and initiation of new members. The eighteen member society also attend- ed many competitions and performances during the year. To prepare for a perfor- mance, many tried to be- come the character. “Dire ctly before going on stage, I pace back and forth and recite my lines to my- self. Pacing burns up extra energy and reciting lines keeps my mind off the per- formance which always makes a performer ner- vous,” said J.J. Borland. “We all got along like a family and learned from each other’s mistakes,” stat- ed Charles Beckman of the cast of Dangerous Corner.

At the Pinellas Square Mall com- petition, the squad performs “Turn Around”, without Jodi Collins, who had recently been hurt. Sticking Together Misfortunes come, but bring closeness by: Robin Castle T he big moment had come at last! The competition looked tough, but the squad had practiced all week for this. Just as the girls all ran out and were ready to show their stuff, tragedy struck. Senior Wendy Norman fell, tearing ligaments in both knees, which required sur- gery on one of them. This was how the varsity cheerleading squad started their year. Despite their mis- fortune, the team came in second in the camp competi- tion, which included 20 squads. The camp was held for four days in August at Pinellas Park High School, from 8am. to 4pm. They learned to work together do- ing dances, cheers, chants, stunts, and pyramids. One varsity cheerleader said, “All of us became so close because we worked together so hard.” To obtain the ability to do precise cheers and balanced pyramids, a lot of practice was required. During sum- mer, they practiced three to five days a week for three to four hours a day. Then dur- ing football season, practice was held three days a week, and during basketball sea- son, two days, both lasting one to two hours. One of the main ingredi- ents of cheerleading is hav- ing school spirit. Not only are they required to put in hours of practice, but they were also faithful spirit sis- ters to the basketball and football players. They made candy bags for them, and also signs to promote the up- coming games. Despite the many misfor- tunate injuries, the squad learned to depend on each other, becoming very close. Kim Fry, the captain, summed it up by saying, ‘Tve been cheering since 6th grade and this is the closest squad I’ve ever been in- volved with. We’re more than just fellow team mem- bers, we’re all close friends!” 228 Cheerleading Back row: Kim Fry, Jan Matthews, lane Leon- ard — sponsor, Wendy Norman, Debbie Roach, Kelli McQuigg, Jodi Collins.

Right On Key Choral Department strives to be different by Cassie Flory C hurch Choir, your Sixth Grade Chorus Class, and the Choral Department at CHS are all basically the same, right? All singing groups are alike, right? Well, not really. All three of these groups sing, but that is where the simi- larities end. Unlike most groups of singers, the Choral Depart- ment has elected officers; president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer, and public relations manager. These people were picked by popular vote of the stu- dents because of their ability to lead others. Part of their function included setting an example for others to follow. The Choral Department was composed of five groups: Windsong, Headlin- ers, Concert Choir, Women’s Choir, and Freshman Choir. Windsong, an ensemble, was made up of eighteen students (nine girls, nine guys). They sang a wide vari- ety of types of songs. If it was anything from modern pop to broadway to Madrical music, they sang it. Headliners, like Wind- song, was an ensemble. These seventeen girls, rang- ing from tenth to twelfth grade, not only sang but also danced their way into the hearts of many throughout Clearwater. Dance steps were choreographed to such songs as “Blues in the Night” and “Let’s Hear It for the) Boy.” This year one of the larg- est divisions of the Depart- ment was Concert Choir. A| larger number of guys thanl ever before participated in this group. The rise in the! number of male singers led! to an increase in the variety! of songs the group sang. Approximately forty-five young ladies make up the i Women’s Choir. They per- formed such songs as “This Little Babe” and “There 232 Chorus Freshman Choir — Front Row: Nayibe Fewrnandez, Sherry Jones, Kim Mosher, Lisa Way, Kim Berfield, Tammy Kusick, Lori Gilliam, Melissa Mets, Theresa Bruce, Angie Risley, Michelle Lab- lance, Alicia McCune, Mrs. Huffman.

The last division of the Choral Department was the Freshman Choir. It was formed by over sixty stu- dents. “It’s terrific that there was such an interest in Freshman Choir this year. We had loads of fun and also learned a great deal from Mrs. Huffman,” stated Freshman Laurie Gillian. Throughout the year many performances were (cont.) held in which almost all per- formed. The Candlelight Processional at Walt Disney World provided one such time. For the past few years CHS has participated in it. “I think it’s good experience for us to sing with so many people from different schools,” stated Charles Bee- man. The Christmas Concert, as well as the Pop Concert (held in the spring), gave them a chance to perform. The Christmas Concert, held at St. Petersburg Junior College, featured songs such as “Hallelujah”. The Pop Concert was also a big suc- cess. It was held for three nights straight at the school. “Every night the turnout was incredible!” commented one singer. Although everytime they sang they were flawless, per- fection didn’t come easy. Be- fore every performance, many hours of practice oc- curred both before and after school. “Mrs. Huffman pushes us to do our best. We all try to strive for a perfect performance,” commented Nikki Marolf. Mrs. Huffman headed the Choral Department this year. Only recently graduat- ed from college, she has per- formed in over seven states and at such famous places as Opryland. This experience has made her a very able chorus teacher. “She can coach us better than a teacher that had no real performing experience. She’s given all of us a lot of help,” stated Tricia Foster. Priscilla Bagley summed it up saying, “We’re not just another chorus. We’re a close knit group. Each sec- tion complements the other. When we perform, we give it our all.” Before performing for Paul B. Ste- vens School for the retarded, Dulce Lohen, Stacey Graham and Kristi Garcia practice the dance steps to “Let’s Hear It for the Boy’’. The Headliners perform for business luncheons, in malls, and various other places. “It’s so neat to sing for all different kinds of people. Their reactions is always the same — they smile,” said Kristi Garcia. W indsong travels around perform- ing at various places.

There was the marching band, jazz band, wind ensemble, fine ensemble, concert band, percussion class, and the auxiliary units; the Torna- doettes, majorettes, and the flags. “I spend the time in pur- suit of excellence. I want to be good. It’s very rewarding when it all finally ‘clicks,’ and we can communicate with the audience,” stated Mr. Gerry T. Kelsey. M.

In this last year, the band planned a spring concert in May at Ruth Eckerd Hall. Tag Days, their biggest mon- ey makers, were November 1, 2, and 3. During Tag Days, band members dressed in their uniforms and collected donations by standing at store-fronts around the Clearwater area. The band also marched in two parades, the Clearwater Christmas Parade on De- cember 14th, and the Clear- water Fun-n-Sun Parade in min-March, which they co- sponsored with Country- side. The parade had a com- petition, but because they were a co-sponsor, the band was not able to compete. Giving a new appearance to the auxilary, the major- ettes received new gloves and uniforms, and the flag section acquired three new types of flags. “It takes a lot more dedica- tion to be on the squad than ever before,” commented co-captain Leslie Rondeau.

One of the biggest changes, though, was their new style of leadership on the field. Now there was one male and one female drum major.

Something for Everyone School offers a variety of clubs by Amanda Nunziato T he 2:34 bell signaled the end of the school day. Many students made a mad dash for their lockers, threw their books in and grabbed whatever they needed. But instead of head- ing home, they veered to- ward the rooms in which their club meetings were held. Which room the stu- dent went to depended on the student’s motivation. And the wide variety of clubs offered almost all stu- dents a chance to participate in some type of afterschool activity. For those students who were oriented towards plan- ning activities for the entire student body there was the Student Government Asso- ciation. SGA planned such memorable events as Home- coming, including Tornado Tales which starred the comedian Sinbad and a rock concert in March. Or if the students just wanted to plan events for their class, they could participate in their class meetings. Clubs and organizations (cont.) T. Diefell Something (cont.) like the language clubs, the National Honor Society, and the Spanish Honor Society provided mental stimulation for those students motivated by a desire to increase their knowledge. In addition, other clubs such as Interact and Key Club gave students a chance to improve their community through various activities. The Interact club planned such community activities as painting an old lady’s house in Largo. They also collaborated with the Key Club in Sparkling Clear- water Day, a day on which the members traveled through Clearwater picking up trash off the streets. In ad- dition, the Key Club played their role in the community with such activities as a canned food drive, a Walk- for-Mankind walk-a-thon, and Christmas caroling. Many clubs and organiza- tions held fund raising ac- tivities to finance their var- ious projects. The cheer- leaders sold Tornado t- shirts; Interact sold school visors; and the Key Club sold carnations. However, not all organiza- tions were strictly extra- curricular. The three publi- cation staffs, Clearlight, Fathoms, and Aqua Clara, not only spent many hours after school, the members also met daily as a class to produce their award win- ning works. Thus, no matter what a student’s motivations, he or she was sure to find a club to suit their needs. The Spanish Honor Society served as an organization for students ex- celling in Spanish as a language and culture.

The teams and their management under- went many changes throughout the year. For example, the girls’ softball team got a new assistant coach. Also, the boys’ varsity basketball team got a new head coach. After 17 years of coaching the team, Coach Jack Wil- son resigned at the end of last year. This posi- tion was taken over by Coach Rudy Coffin. Coach Coffin was the J.V. boys’ basketball as- sistant coach until three years ago when he quit to take the head coach position at Tallahassee Lincoln. “Coach Wilson left a good nucleus to carry on the tradition he established. The team has good senior leader- ship to carry the team as the Beat Goes On,” stat- ed Coach Coffin, refer- ring to the team’s motto. The varsity football team also had a major obstacle to overcome. As the result of a serious accident which oc- curred on November 3 in Perry, Florida, three year starter Sidney Per- kins passed away. Three others who were in- volved in the accident, Chris Nicholas, Dennis O’Connor, and Alan Ha- gaman were out of play until the end of the sea- son.

Sound like a dream? It was a typical summer day for many who enjoyed skiing or other wa- ter sports. Water sports were one of the many ways students found to make a nice day even nicer. When the sun was out and the gulf waters were just right, many could participate in a variety of water sports practically year round. Whether it was surf- ing, skimboarding, wind- surfing, or even scuba div- ing, they could all be found in the gulf waters of Clear- water Beach. “Water skiing is a great way to spend an afternoon with your friends. Sometimes my friends and I will go out and have such a good time we won’t even re- alize how late it is. We could 252 Out-of-School Sports probably ski the whole weekend away,” stated Amy Voras. One sport, hydrosliding, became very popular among many students. It wasn’t quite as difficult to stay on a hydroslide so even those who did not get a chance to ski often could still have a chance at success. Exploring the dark depths of the sea aroused many peo- ple’s curiosity and elaborate equipment helped students to find out what exactly lives under the water. Senior Tom Tague took up scuba diving over the summer and went out about twice every month. “I always wanted to scuba dive because it is so beautiful under the water and it’s great to see all of the creatures and marine life that lives there,” stated Ta- gue. Not everybody played sports at the beach in the wa- ter, however. A recent new game became popular on the beach itself. It was playing paddle ball, and it didn’t have to be warm out to play it. One could enjoy playing even in the winter. “It’s an easy, active sport which any- one can play, and it can make a day at the beach even nicer,” said Jennifer Bialow. With such a variety of wa- ter sports anyone could par- ticipate in them. Not only did students enjoy them in the water, but on the boat as well. A hobby, sport or just a way to have fun with friends, the gulf became a good way to spend a day. For whatever sport one enjoyed, the beaches were the popu- lar place to go for a good time.

Brave knights in shin- ing armor shooting flaming arrows over castle walls. These were the mental pic- tures that came to most peo- ple’s minds when they heard the word archery. Archery has been around since the beginning of time, but it is very much a sport today. Freshman Mark Mason has been involved in archery for about five or six years. He first got interested in arch- ery while watching his dad and brother shoot. “There wasn’t any other sport I was good in so I tried archery,” Mark explained. In olden times archery was used in defense. It was also used as a means of gath- ering food. Archery has be- come mainly a recreational sport, though. It has also be- come a competitive sport. Mark has competed in sever- al league and state tourna- ments. His long hard hours of work and practice paid off in the awards and plaques that he won. Mark also com- peted in the Florida Sun- shine Games. The games in- cluded competitions in ev- erything from archery to fencing. Mark brought home two gold medals from the games. Mark had other interests besides archery. Mark Once used for defense or hunting food, now archery is enjoyed by many. Freshman Mark Mason has practiced archery for about six years and even competes in tourna- ments. played the trumpet in the marching band and the con- cert band. Both the trumpet and archery took a lot of practice to be good at them. Although band did take a lot of his time, Mark still found time to perfect his archery. Mark practiced mostly on Friday and Sunday. He shot mostly in his backyard and at The Archery Shop. The Archery Shop was a 30 yard indoor range on 125th Ave. N. in Largo. They offered instructions and sponsored Mark’s league. Mark prac- ticed up to an hour a day. “After a while your muscles get tired,” stated Mark. Archery wasn’t as simple as it used to be. It was not just a bow and arrow any- more. For starters there were several kinds of bows to choose from — the com- pound, recurve, longbow and crossbow were the main ones. Arrows weren’t always made of wood either. Fiberg- lass, wood, and aluminum were all soon used. There were also several accesso- ries that could be purchased.

Not only did people bike for enjoyment, but many people liked to compete in races.

Sound like a peaceful vaca- tion away from school? Well, it was reality for the members of the boy’s cross country team. The team started the hours of long distance running at the beginning of the summer and continued up until the end of the season. Running between five-six- and a half miles a day, sprinting, and weightlifting helped to pre- pare the team for their victo- ries. “Running really relaxes me and makes me forget about all my worries. Not only that, it makes me feel good inside. Whether we win or lose, I still have a feeling of accomplishment,” said Chris Laursen. Not only did each race con- sist of running three miles, but running three miles over fields, mud, and even water.

Sweat poured down her face as the scorching sun beat down on her head. You could almost see the heat waves rolling off the pave- ment. This was no ordinary runner. She was a member of the girls’ cross-country team. Every day after school they ran more miles than most of us walk. “Run and Bear It” was their motto this year and that’s exactly what they did. Through rain and cold they ran, but their worst enemy was the heat. Because of the heat most of their practices were held from 5:30-7:00 p.m. when it was cooler. These practices consisted of speed work and running 5-6 miles. Coached by Mrs. Kathy Biddle, the team prac- ticed every day after school from August to November, when their season ended. This year the team con- sisted mostly of sophomores and juniors. “We have a young team,” said captain Lourdes Alcoz. “We only have three seniors we are losing.” Even though the team was young, they had a good season. “Over all we ended up good,” said Alcoz. “I ran because running keeps you in shape and it gives you something to strive for,” said Debbie Rosewater. Running is ex- cellent exercise but also hard work. Making the effort is the most important part. “Anybody can go out and run. Just going out and trying is what really counts,” said Alcoz. The girls’ cross country team lived up to their motto — “Run and Bear It,” as they ran through a season filled with extreme heat and injur- ies. They carried that motto with them as they competed in the cross country season 266 Girls Cross Country , • --’ Hric y £ ( 9 , ' ' y 1 , At Clearwater Central Catholic :i gh School, Freshman Susie vV i n to r m e ir . s t ml i e s t h e I’i n a 1 ?• ’ Raids ' of her rfiile Ta c ce and ■ .[Teceivj ■PA “Mrs. Biddle is really deeply into winning, and she tries her best for the team’s suc- cess.

Since Coach Paul came to Clearwater the boys’ team held an undefeated fif- teen year record along with being ranked fourth in the state. The girls only lost one meet and improved their state ranking moving into the top ten. Some of the stars of the team were James Berry, who won the fifty free-style at state. Also, Amy Mudano succeeded in placing third in the one hundred back and sixth in the two hundred I.M. Donna Casey, a fresh- man, made it as far as the finals. The girls’ free style relay finished third. The divers, Kelli Ruggie, Karla Newdick, and Jimmy Murray, all made it to state and all three were returning from last year. The hard work, long hours, and dedication paid off in the end. Be it just to drop your time by a second, to just make it to state or even win an event, it was all worth it. For some, just to finish a workout was an ac- complishment and to go that extra mile and finish the season was a victory in itself. Marcia Harris summed it up when she said, “I wouldn’t give it up for the world be- cause when I hear everyone cheering for me and my lungs are burning, I know that I have to give it my all for them.” 270 Swimming and Diving G.

An- other year, another winning season, and another volley- ball team with much poten- tial. The volleyball team end- ed an outstanding season with a final record of 24-4 and with a lot of admiration from their school. Practicing Monday through Saturday, the hard work of the Lady Tornadoes made every win possible which amounted to a title of conference and re- gional champions. However, with an unfortunate loss to Brandon at the Sectional tournament, the team did not make it to state. “At the beginning of the season we had enough potential to win state. Welt, we did the best we could by going farther than we ever have in my four years of playing and I am proud to say that if we could go to state right now, we would win,” said Jamie Gelep. Some major contributions to the team’s yearly success was the enjoyment of each and every game and the friendship and unity of ev- eryone on the team. “I feel that it helps our game a lot knowing that we all are so close on the team,” said Beth Alexander. Working together as a real team and making every win possible was what each and every member contributed to throughout the season.

Even though golf was not a fan following sport, the golf team was one of the many footholds in a long tradition of winning, and winning they knew well. The golf team had proved once again their determination and pride. Practicing two to two-and-a-half hours a day at Clearwater Country Club, the team worked hard on perfect- ing their game. The team as a whole was strong and with great depth, with the outstand- ing players like Lee Manly, Scott Voshall, Tim Kelly, and Tim Hamilton. The team finished the season with a final record of 11-15 and ended up eighth in the confer- ence. Not only did the team as a whole play well, but also helped clear the way in making decisions for the future of one senior, captain Lee Manly. Lee started playing when he was thirteen years old and planned to pursue it in college. “I feel I have found something I really like,” said Manly. With crimson and grey pumping through their veins, and determination in their eyes, they proceeded to show their dominance and pride at a rapid rate down the road of success. 274 Golf eifell While golfing, obstacles such as sand traps are very hard to over- come.

Ranked fourth in the state class 4A poll throughout the season, the Tornadoes drove their abilities down the court every game, ending with a final record of 24 to 7. In every game, the team’s “hot-shot guard” Rick Nick- erson racked up the points. Scoring up to thirty-three points in a game, like the victory over the Pinellas Park Patriots, lead offense weapon Nickerson always came through as the shooter. However, injuries took their toll as Nickerson broke his foot at the game against Gibbs, in the fourth quarter. This kept him out of the game against Dixie Hollins, resulting in a loss which looked like a lost chance at the Pinellas County Confer- ence title. “It was the worst thing that ever happened to me. The worst part was when I had to sit and watch the game and not experience the thrill of victory or the ag- ony of defeat. Basketball is so much a part of me it hurts when I can’t play,” said Nick- erson. The name of the game for Clearwater was team ball. In the district final game cont.

Each player performed these skills well resulting in an equally balanced team. Though Rick Nickerson suf- fered from a broken foot, the team actually benefited from his absence. “Three players: Sean Mears, Gary F Wintermeir and Mark Prophet, learned to play well in pressure situations and could be relied on when needed after Rick’s return,” said Coach Coffin, the team’s new coach who re- placed Jack Wilson. There was always some- thing about the team. Every team wanted to defeat the Tornadoes and gave more than their all to do it too.

We don’t have one in- dividual standout. We meshed very well as a team.” This showed up very well in their performance. Another factor in this year’s successful season was the team’s attitude. “I be- lieve that the team has a su- per attitude all around which greatly reflects on our 13-2 record,” said Baby. The team’s success was a surprise to many due to their lack of height which greatly affected their ability to con- trol the boards. The team overcame the weakness, however, by playing very ag- gressively in defense, result- ing in an abundant supply of turnovers and scoring chances. “This team has played together better than any other team I have coached in my four years,’ said Baby. Together as a team, the J.V. Boys managed to overcome their weaknesses to finish the season with one of the best records ever. Boys J.V. Basketball 281 “Coach Baby is an all around nice guy.

She’s very close to all of us and with the help of Coach Parks, the two make a great team.” — Kerry Griffin W hat a Team Lady Tornadoes make first-ever trip to state by Nina Scott T here is a difference JL between being close and actually making it. If there is any doubt, just ask any one of the girl Varsity basketball players. For years the team has ended with a successful season, but never quite at the top. But this year was different. Instead of ending with an “almost ’ they ended the year at the top — in the state Champi- onship Tournament. The Class 4A Tornadoes were led by forward Gracine Wright, who was selected to the all-tournament team. However, other strong per- formances came from guard Barbara Twichell, forward Iva LaPread, and center Can- dy Freeman. Through team- work and effort, the girls managed to pull through many victories and improve each and every game. Limit- ing their turnovers showed the Tornadoes that the sky was the limit. One game against Gibbs really proved the sky was the limit. Captain Gracine Wright made a forty-seven foot jump shot at the buzzer, ending the game with a score of 59-57. That “Immaculate shot” resulted in giving the team a holiday tournament Championship. “I was so happy when I saw the ball go through the hoop. That shot gave the team a lot of inspi- ration. Teamwork is what our team is all about, and if it wasn’t for that, I would have never made the shot,” said Wright. Unfortunately, the Lady Tornadoes had their share of misfortunes and they had to forfeit six of their games. Be- cause of a paperwork error, the games played between December ninth and Janu- ary ninth had been played with an ineligible player, Amy James, who had moved out of the school’s zone. Therefore, instead of finish- ing tied for second in the PCC, the Tornadoes tied for ninth. Fighting hard every game came natural to the team. With the makings of a state playoff team, the Tornadoes knew the sky was the limit. Girls Varsity Basketball 283 F.

The team which consisted of freshmen and sopho- mores had an outstanding season. Coached for the fourth consecutive year by Coach Bill Broome, it proved once again to be better than 284 Girls J.V. Basketball ever. “It’s the best J.V. Team in my four years,” said Coach Broome. Like many sports, the suc- cess was not only held in their individual abilities, but in how they put these qualities together. “They ran very well and complement- ed each other,” said Broome. While this key factor was evident to the coach it was also seen by sophomore Amy McQuown. She said, ‘‘We all worked together well and got along great, and I think that was an important factor.” Along with unity, a lot of hard practice and of course a little pain went along with making this team good. With usually an hour and a half practice, the team strived to get the most out of it as possi- ble. As Captain Amy McQuown stated, “All the hard work paid off because in return I think we had a great season and we had fun.” Putting another shot in the net, Erika Golden puts another shot in during a Tornado victory against the Countryside Cougars. “Coach Broome is a really good friend and coach to all of us.

Practices began in late Oc- tober and lasted throughout the season even during win- ter vacation. Practices were held in the stadium and on the practice fields behind the pool, lasting from 3:00- 5:00. Each practice consisted of ball handling skills, small- sided games, and physical training. “The practices were structured so you got out of them what you put in,” said Scott Briscoe.

The hard fought game re- sulted in a tie, 2-2. keepers also underwent vi- gorous training, not only in goalkeeping skills, but in field skills as well. “My chest trapping and all around skills really im- proved this season,” Goal- keeper Bobby Schlegal said. The team entered a pre- season tournament at the be- ginning of December. They advanced to the finals by soundly defeating Country- side and Tarpon Springs but lost to Seminole in the finals, 1-0. Junior Midfielder Jeff Love, also a captain and cen- ter of the team’s offense, was named offensive MVP of the tournament. Around the middle of De- cember the team entered the toughest part of its season. “We had to play eight games in two weeks, and it was a real test for the team espe- cially for the defense,” said David Barnett. The Tornadoes lost in the second round of the district tournament to Seminole 2-1 ending the season with an overall record of 12-4-4.

Her teammate recov- ers the ball, handling it with all the right moves as she passes up a defender and shoots it through their goal. Though the team had a good season, injuries took their toll. “In the beginning of the year we played a better game. Then, injuries oc- curred and we fell apart. At the very end of the season, however, we began to play up to our abilities,” said Mi- chelle Witte. In spite of the many injur- ies, the team still spent many hours practicing to im- prove their game. They prac- ticed five days a week for an hour-and-a-half, working on things such as ball control, passing, shots on goal, and scrimmaging. The team’s Coach Marci Cagwin was well-liked and respected by all the players. “She does a good job and ev- eryone seems to like her, said Jennifer Kurgas.

Next year the Clearwater wrestling team is expected to be a powerhouse in the county. “Since we only had two seniors this year, next year we should be great,” ex- plained wrestler for four years, Todd Kuhn. Though the matches were won as a team, when each man wrestled it was only him and his opponent. Many team members thrived on this individual competition. “You are on the wrestling team, but no one can help you when you are on the mat. When you are there ev- erything that happens comes from you,” said Mark Phelps. “I like the individual com- petition with someone my own size because they have no more advantages than do,” replied Todd Kuhn. Each different person hat their own ways of getting psyched for a match. “I like to jump rope before a match because it gets me ready to go,” said Todd Kuhn. “Though wrestling seems only physical there is a great psychological buildup be- fore every match.” 292 Wrestling Defeating his opponent, a Boca Ciega Pirate, in the match, captain Mike Zollo holds this opponent dur- ing the victorious wrestle.

Prac- tices were held each day from 3:00 to 5:30. “Some days were so cold we would end up wearing sweats over our running tights, but by the end of practice we would be in shorts again because we would be so hot from our workouts,” explained senior Kristen Sivla. The girls’ practices con- sisted of an 880 warm up, stretches, and one or two miles around the school. Then the real practice be- gan. “When track first start- ed, everyone was so tired at the end of the warm ups it was really hard to concen- trate on running the two hours of practice left,” said Debbie Rosewater. The girls track team was made up this year of about 50 girls. “We have a lot of fa- miliar faces again this year, but we have quite a few new talented girls,” explained Coach Skiratko. “Our year was successful; the girls overcame a lot of tough obstacles — but isn’t that what being a “Lady Tor- nado” is all about — working and achieving the ultimate,” said Head Coach Kathy Bid- dle. Achieving the ultimate was in fact what the “Lady Tornadoes” did. Throughout the season, the ranks were high and the long hours of practices and hard work really paid off. “The team was like a family — we all helped each other as if we were like sisters. There were many of times I wish I could have just quit but because of the cheering around the track I kept running wanting to win for them — the team,” commented junior Chrissy Muller.

Hurdlers, sprint- ers, long-distance runners, and field event participants worked hard during prac- tices to perfect their skills. Mr. Jim Ewbank served his second year as head of the team. “Mr. Ewbank had the team set up really well,” commented Brad Long. “Coach Ewbank did a good job in encouraging us to do our best,” added Nick Ara- kas. “Our goal was to finish in the top four in conference, and to qualify as many kids as possible in the state meets,” commented Coach Ewbank. The guys were dedicated and worked well together as a team. Yet Track was not only hard work, but fun too. “I enjoyed track because I like to keep in shape and run competitively.

Coach Steve Sotir said, “We work on basic fun- damentals, cut-offs and re- lays, plus we do a lot of bat- ting practice. “The long practices seemed to pay off well for the Tornadoes.

The move must look exactly the same as his pitching wind-up until the last moment when the pitcher throws to first base. Doug Wetherill makes the play a success with a clean tag, and the runner’s out. “ — Coach Sotir did a great job of show- ing us how to play better as a team and it really im- proved our perfor- mance. ” — Allen Jetton T Dm Ml practice, Practice Work pays off in diamonds by Nina Scott A s she stepped up to bat, she could feel her stomach tighten. The Torna- does vyere down 7-4 in the last inning of the game. The bases were loaded, and she was the last to bat. Her sweaty hands gripped the bat as she concentrated on the pitcher. The ball was pitched, and she felt herself swinging towards it. She hit it with all her strength, send- ing it high over the left field- er’s head to the fence. Run- ning with all her speed, she quickly passed first base, second base, and then third base. She saw the left fielder throw the ball to home, how- ever, missing the catcher. She ran into home, scoring one more run for the Torna- does, and ending the game with a score of 8-7. Wrapping up the girls soft- ball season with a final rec- ord of 16 to 9, the hard fought season proved a good one. With two hours of prac- tice every day there wasn’t a game during the week, and every Saturday, the Lady Tornadoes gave it their all throughout their season. “The practices were hard, but we have a main theory that fun comes first and the hard work is just part of hav- ing fun. When you are play- ing the game, however, all the practice time put in dur- ing the week makes it all worthwhile,” said Joy Tay- lor. Returning from the out- standing 1985 season, with a final record of 16-5, were Tess Nelson Jamie Gelep, Joy Taylor, Laurie McGinn, Ton- dee Murray, Wendy Cooper, Tricia Davis, Amy Evans, Leslie Jensen, Kary Meno- lascino, and Charlotte Ul- rich.

Leading the Tornadoes to their victories was fourth- year coach, Jamey Baby. Practicing game situation drills such as ground balls and many others, Baby also got the girls on the right foot to winning, but also showed the team how important it was to have a good time as well. Not only did the individ- ual talents of each player stand out, but the team as one also. Giving it their all in a pursuit of victory, the Lady Tornadoes proved that team work was the key to a win- ning season. The Lady Tor- nadoes, together or individ- ually, proved that the thrill of victory was part of their daily life. Softball requires quick thinking and heads-up play.

Strangely enough, though, it wasn’t the long hours of study or the loss of sleep or even the hated math classes which students first recalled about the year. Rather it was the unexpected bomb scare which got them out 50 minutes early for the winter holidays, or the day they hit the beach instead of classes, and got away with it. Like other years, the year was made special by the events which shaped it. And what better way to capture it than by the pictures and words of the people who lived l _ _ - - T.

With a total cost of about $25,000, the memorial was paid for by public and pri- vate donations as well as through various fund raisers held within the school. In addition to the original funding, a War Memorial Fund was also established, to which each senior class since 1969 has donated mon- ey. These funds were used for upkeep as well as for im- provements such as a new flagpole and light which were put up when the me- morial was moved to its pre- sent location. With all research done through the US War Depart- ment, the memorial bears the names of the 34 WW II and 12 Vietnam casualties who were Clearwater High Students. Officially dedicated in 1976, the war memorial was a poignant reminder to all. I Presently standing at the corner of 1 jHercules and Gulf to Bay Ave., the war memorial was moved during ! instruction with as little damage I is possible done to it’s original ap- | iarance. A flagpole and light were ! ilso added to the memorial.

In addi- tion to private use, however, the field was also used by PE classes and school athletic teams. During a short “ribbon- cutting” ceremony in Au- gust, the game field was offi- cially donated to the school. Attending the ceremony were representatives from Morton Plant Hospital, REACH, SGA, the commu- nity and the CHS Cross Country team, who ran through the course during a short expedition.

During a short “ribbon cutting” ceremony for the game field, a re- presentative from Morton Plant spoke a few words about their do- nation. E xercise! Exercise! Ex- ercise! Fitness! Fitness! Fitness! Undoubtedly, the 80’s were to be remem- bered as the decade that Americans were obsessed with “getting fit”. And as this obsession grew, the demand for means of achieving it grew also. At the beginning of the school year, a now fa- cility was added to Clear- water High which offered help to those who strove to become part of the “thin and trim” generation. A donation by Morton Plant Hospital through the REACH program, the Clear- water High Game Field was constructed at the corner of the practice field right next to the tennis courts.

PAK also sponsored car washes and made various donations around the community. 334 Community APPA LPHA F or many, the love of ani- mals has been growing since they were children. In fact, there are few grownups today who can deny wanting a pony or puppy at least once in their lives. But how many of these kids actually grew up to make animals their life? Ralph Heath, founder of the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary, was one of the few who did. Founded in 1971, the Sea- bird Sanctuary focused on the rescue, repair, recuper- ation and release of injured birds. Though the Sanctuary treated mostly seabirds, it would also care for pigeons, owls, birds of prey, and even sea turtles. The only animals the Sanctuary would not ac- cept for treatment were those that were pets. On an average day, the Sanctuary accepted between 12 and 20 injured birds. Al- most all of the birds’ injuries could be traced either di- rectly or indirectly to one source — contact with man. Gunshot, fishing lines and hooks, firecrackers wrapped in bread and plain careless- ness were the biggest rea- sons why so many birds were brought to the Sanctu- ary. But for those who did care about the future of Florida’s seabirds, the Seabird Sanc- tuary was an excellent place to witness the efforts of those whose work was pure- ly, “for the birds.” Injured birds of all breeds find aid and refuge at the nationally known Suncoast eabird Sanctuary For visitors, 5 o’clock feeding time always gave quite a show of enter- tainment. Squacks filled the air as impatient and hungry birds playful- ly attacked the buckets full of fish which volunteer workers distribut- ed. Though meant for the injured and sick, many healthy birds also pa- tronized the sanctuary. A white crane paces the sheds of the Sanctu- ary in search of a free handout. L.

Despite the fact that for millions of people Coke was the only real choice in soft drinks, the Coca-Cola Co. did something almost un- heard of in April of ’85. After using the same formula for 99 years, the makers of Coke decided that the drink need- ed a little updating — a new taste under the new name New Coke. The reformulating of Coca-Cola, however, was Despite manufacturers’ effort to improve the taste of Coca-Cola, Consumers found that it was still the beloved 99 year old formula that was really it.” not met with the enthusiasm that promoters had hoped. Almost immediately after plans for the change were re- leased, consumers began to demand back the older, less sweet taste of Old Coke. Within weeks after New Coke began to flood the mar- ket, the company heeded public demand and brought back the old formula under the name Classic Coke. Ac- cording to the magazine Ad- vertising Age, sales of Clas- sic Coke skyrocketed and soon outsold the reformulat- ed Coke by 9 to 1. So which Coke is really it? It’s all up to you.

S ince the introduction of broadcasting, the public has been swamped with a countless number of adver- tising gimmicks. Occasion- ally though, an advertiser will come up with a jingle or slogan which will never fade. Such standards as Coca Cola’s “Coke is It”, Mc- Donalds’ “We do it all for you” and Wendy’s “Where’s the Beef?” are just a few ex- amples. In retaliation to the com- petitors success, Burger King introduced their new adver- tising plan of, “Aren’t you hungry, HERB?” Part of a massive advertising cam- paign by Burger King, soon all fast food patrons know of Herb and his story. Herb? you might ask. Who’s Herb? It’s simple. Herb was merely the one person alive who had never tasted Burger King’s infamous Whopper sandwich. In promotion of their food, Burger King blared Herb’s story over every TV and ra- dio and plastered his name across all their restaurants. Burger King was not the only one to benefit from the cre- ation of Herb, however. Soon, restaurants and stores everywhere used him as their own with advertise- ments such as “Herb eats here” and “Herb gets his hair cut here.” So who was Herb and where did he really eat? No one really knows — but I bet it wasn’t McDonalds.

The feeling of tenseness that so many students felt quickly diminished and the fun began. As usual, the student body took a bad situation, the bomb threat, and turned it into an opportunity to have some fun, a pep rally. Not only did students have these special abili- ties, but teachers and other faculty members possessed them also.

Personal achieve- ment among the stu- dents was a big part of the pride of the student body. James Berry was a prime example of this. During the year Berry qualified for the Junior Nationals and the Hun- dred Free and has a goal set for himself to qualify for the 1988 Olympics. Scott McQuigg met with President Ronald Reagan twice during the school year along with many other people of high positions in our state and national gov- ernment. The band program also demonstrated achievement by accept- ing and promoting change. For the first time in the band’s histo- ry, two drum majors led the band on the field, and one of them hap- pened to be Wendy Ka- shinski. Wendy was the first female to ever serve as drum major to the band.

Closing 367 nes Students faced various trials throughout the year, such as trying to find a date for the first annual video dance par- ty after the Homecoming game, or finding time to cram for the extra seventh period exam. Along with these trials came many things to be proud of such as going to games to watch our teams swamp their oppo- nents, or getting involved with clubs and other activi- ties. Through all of these situa- tions, Clearwater High School still remained ‘the team to beat’, and the ‘school to surpass’ in the hearts and minds of other schools in the area. Students remained proud of the fact that they were a part of CHS on the Inside. As the result of four years of high school, Steve Craig begins to prepare for graduation by getting his cap and gown pictures taken at Bryn-Alan. 368 Closing 1986 AQUA CLARA STAFF Editor-in-Chief Karen Clemow Assistant Editor Lynette Eaddy Copy Editor Kelli Ruggie Student Life Editor Carrie McLaren Organizations Editors Robin Castle Karen Valentin Sports Editor Nina Scott Advertising Editors Brooke Follett Kelli Geoghegan Guy Niemann Academics Editor Dana Daniels Seniors Editor Nanci Whitehouse Juniors Editor Janet Coffee Sophomores Editor Taylor Crawford Freshmen Editor Chris Laursen Faculty Editor Cassie Flory Index Business Managers Christine Hill Todd Curci Photojournalism Editor Lynette Eaddy Photographers Tony Deifell MariAnne Bradley Jennifer Burch Skip Cline Vance Paulett Staffers Valerie Wickersham Flip Coleman Bill Glass David Glass Cynthia Henry Chelsea Matthews Amanda Nunziato Julie Walkup Gary Cuddeback Alescia Fleming Sheri Geoghegan Laura Larson Julie Michael Jennifer Nelis Advisor Judy Cannaday
