'E Sighing at the end of another day of skiing are Jenn Pennell, Katie Olivas and Anne Badger. +C.s. Scott Powell Photo Scott Powell spent his summer in New Zealand competing in wrestling. While there, he visited the Christ Church. Vacations always mean a combination of rest, relaxation and fun. Maybe for sen- ior citizens, but for us wild teenagers it's a combination of no sleep, excessive eating, just one great big party. The beginning of most of our vacations begin with a rush to the airport and a long wait in the terminal. Then finally Flight 621 to Maui, Hawaii. Your blood rushes to your head and the excitement is felt throughout the air. As you push to the front of the line the slim, statuesque flight attendance delicately rips your ticket. You find yourself running down the tur- max when you push down an elderly woman, as she tumbles toward the aircraft you race past her with high hopes of an interesting voyage. Finally you find a seat on the plane. Now you are on your way to your favorite vacation spot. After reach- ing your destination it seems like an hour before the luggage is unloaded. After col- lecting your bags, your vacation is offical- ly started. Unpacking is the only thing holding you back from getting in line at the chair lift or hitting the beach. Whether it be Winter, Summer, Spring or Fall Corona students always find a great place to spend their vacation. Popu- lar vacation spots are overseas, Mexico, California and Texas. K t Hn kPh.l Rocky Point and Mazatlan are wonderful places to visit during vacations. VA CA TION5 I7

World '87 A reflection of the past year brings back many memories hav- ing to do with the news around the world. Adults, unlike teenagers, wake up every morning to a cup of coffee and that day's edition of the daily news. Teenagers, however, wake up as late as possible and get in and out of the shower in ten minutes, towel dry their hair, throw on make up tif neededl and get to their first hour just in the nick to time. Many Corona students first became interested in the news on January 28, 1986 when the first tragedy of the year occured, eight seconds after the U.S. Challenger launched seven heros of our na- tion were killed. This caught our eyes because one of the seven was a high school teacher. Another in- teresting occurence during this year was Hands Across America. Americans came from all around to join hands in peace to help out fellow Americans in need. Terrorism runs rampant in the Middle East. Several Americans were kidnapped in 1986. The Voyager was the first plane to go around the world without stopping or refueling. The Chernobyl affair and the bombing of Lybia were also major events of the year. All these events and many more topped off the last year. -- orrr. If at ' Q4 EZ -.4 s ,,......1-.. wi.-rf. .1-, -- .. .- . V. .- T KB ,J -fl' - ' Sun Deviis bask in glory, to Tempe '87 On July 8, 1986 the Phoenix City Council approved a fifty year plan affecting all cities to curb wa- ter use by restricting certain areas of landscaping. Late in the sum- mer of '86 one of the largest drug busts occured in an Ahwatukwe apartment complex. The Phoenix police department reported that for the year ending 1986, the Phoenix metropolitain area had the highest crime rate ever. ln late 1986 a young boy was abducted from his Tempe home. While try- ing to save the child one of the officers lost his police dog in a rough fight. During the summer of 1986 the world's famous CON- CORDE jet landed at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport and could be toured. Tempe was the sight for the country's Fiesta Bowl, held an- nually in this sunny state. Pen State and Miami were both well- known throughout Tempe and each person had their own opin- ions about who would win. As it turned out, Penn State was trium- phant in the 1986 Fiesta Bowl. Arizona State University claimed it's fame when they won, their first appearance in the 1987 Rose Bowl. Yes, Tempe was quite the place in 1986 and it is sure to continue to be the spot in 1987. W. . 2 ,. -Cl is itz IV I3 J- . Wm! ,. fn i X Corona '87 The 1986-87 school year started out with an average rate of spirit, but once Spike Law- rence teamed up with Brian Austin, Jeff Gey- ser, John Slater and Greg Abbott they set school tradition and spirit on end. They began the Orange Crush Crew fO.C.C.l. The pur- pose of the O.C.C. was to get the entire student body involved in activities. Tailgate parties were attended by KZZP's Mike Elliot and Kent Voss. At least one thousand flyers were handed out each week. Food was sup- plied by Flakey Jakes and drinks by Crush and Jolt. Students were excited when notified that one of our classmates, Scott Woodford, was given a scholarship to A.S.U. After hav- ing back surgery his sophomore year, Wood- ford returned to the field only to play football better than ever. Annoying noises were all traced back to the construction of the new parking lot and the .science lab that is to be finished in the middle of '87. Limited parking is the reason for all the little stickers on the back of Corona stu- dents cars. This rule to have these stickers went into effect in February. Another new policy around our school this year was the attendance procedure. This rule has everyone going to class. The consequences faced for ditching class were steep. This year the stu- dent council sponsored United Way and the senior class helped the blood drive. Both city and school records were broken by these events. At Corona we stick together through thick and thin, maybe that's why this year was so great. NEWS I9 AX
