all Children's Christmas Party Spreads Cheer The 1986 Children's Christmas Party, put on by senior class, was a great success! I thought it was great just seeing the expression on their faces when they got their gifts. That's what it's all about, said Chad Schlenker, senior. Children who came over from the Glendale Child Development Center were met by approximately sixty senior bud- dies. The children and their buddies enjoyed a skit put on by the drama department, Santa, cartoons, given to all the children. lt gave you a special feeling inside to know you made someone else's Christmas, said Amy Bratt, senior. Other activities were put on to celebrate the holiday season. During lunch, students broke pinatas and had pictures with Santa fTim Russellj. Many teachers became involved in the door decoration competiton and the canned food drive raised over 1500 cans for the needy.

X All in the Stars I loved it, it was the most awesome movie I have ever seen, said Scott Davis, senior, about the smash hit movie Top Gun. ' Movies, T.V. shows, groups and other events help to keep us up in the latest things throughout the year. While Tom Cruise and Top Gun were number one at the box office and with many students at Cortez, prime time television saw its top with the ever popular Cosby Show. Another T.V. favorite being the series Moonlighting. Moonlighting is a great show, Cybil Shepard is a great ac- tress, commented Shiela Rowe, senior. A big surprise to many this year was the split of David Lee Roth from Van Halen. Some were disappointed by the breakup while others thought it was for the best. I like David Lee Roth by himself, but I don't like the new Van Halen, ex- pressed Brian Sawicki, junior. Other groups that did well this year were the Monkees, Inxs, janet jackson, and The Cure, just to name a few. Royal weddings, state elections, and the revivals of old groups were just a few of the current events that happened throughout the year. Most seemed to keep up with the events and enjoyed the excitement they gave. 25
