SOPHOMORE, JULIE DA VIS, and friends, gather at the snack bar during lunch. by Carla Anderson Photos by Scott Reynolds At the beginning of 1983, Scottsdale High School was closed by the school board decision of 3-2. The decision left 1100 students out of a school. Stu- dents were allowed to choose any school they wished to attend. A quar- ter of the Scottsdale population made the move to Coronado. Aside from adjusting to a new school, students had to make new friends, learn their way around a new school, and totally adjust to a new way of life. ' Adjusting to a new school was made a little easier for the Scottsdale stu- dents because they were all given the same chance to participate in school activities. In activities that had an election or tryouts in the spring, before school, Scottsdale students were in- vited totake part so that they would be involved in their new school's activi- ties. Some students commented that all of Coronado accepted them openly. They were invited to join clubs, sports, and anything else that went on around campus. Students said that all the Coronado students were friendly and it wasn't like two separate schools, ev- eryone fit in together. Senior, Rich Gorman, commented, I was upset that Scottsdale closed, but I was looking forward to coming to Coro- nado this year. Also, being in football made making new friends much easi- er. il SITTING ON A BENCH, Debbie Fuller and John Mineo recap memories of Scottsdale High. 5. 10 Scottsdale High Students

,gmc THE SENIOR CLASS gets rowdie during first pep assembly. by Tina Amodio Photos by Chuck Ross Rowdie is the best way to describe Coronado's pep assemblies. lt is a time to get totally burly, stated Student Body Vice President Sam Mok. Pep assemblies are held on days only when there are home games. They are intended to promote school spirit and raise morale in hopes that the team will win that night. The main features of the pep assem- blies were the cheerleaders and the Donettes along with the band perform- ing popular songs. Skits were also per- formed by various classes and clubs during the 45 minute interval. Towards the end of the assembly a spirit competition is held to determine the rowdiest class. Also included is the 12 Pep Assemblies Varsity football team, the teachers and the band. This year a huge football was awarded as a prize to the winning group. The pep assemblies that we are having are good, but l wish we could have more in other seasons, replied Student Council advisor Juana Freder- ick.
