Ms. Saindon, along with many other teachers and administrators, spent many hours outside on the jogging paths and tracks, Fitness, competition, enjoyment, the mental high Ca good feeling about oneself and lifeb, were aii cited as explanations for dedication to running, Mr. Conroy, Ms. Ferguson, Ms. Owen, Ms, Soindon, and Dr. Cistone all trained together for o 26-mile marathon. Mr. Quirk was often seen before and after school, running the school track, and Ms. Duim-Quirk, a dedicated runner, kept up her fitness during pregnancy by fast walking during her free periods. Explained Bill Conroy, 'Even though l'm not out there to win the races, l enjoy the positive feeling l get from finishing them. In addition to running, some other energetic teachers bicycled for fun and fitness. Mr. Dole, Ms, Renault, Mr. Presttidge, and Mr. Pieck, along with several other teachers, made many long trips, some participated in races such as the Tecate-Ensenada, Ptosarita Beach, and other favorite Mexico races. But Mr. Prestridge admitted, l don't really race, l'm out there for the parties and the fun. X f if f f at 7 ff' Cy? A?

Cutbacks Cause Shortages ln Staff, Supplies This year Dana Hills was rocked by a series of cutbacks which were immediately noticeable in some areas. One of these was the loss of the last of the credentialed counselors, who were replaced by guidance technicians. Also obvious to most students was the absence of a trained iibrarian, also replaced by 'xiibraty technicians, similar to the guidance techs. But, as Dr. Flynn said, lt's not so much the cutbacks that hurt us, itlsjust not having enough money to keep things in repair. The lack of money forced the loss of a fuil time gardener, whose duties were taken over by a maintenance crew. The high energy demands cauldn't oe met, and the English department was forced to use San Clemente's old books. Even Dr. Flynn had to keep the cheap carpet in his office in a curbacls-affected year, 66. . .Academics Janene Marple CMath!ComputersD has taught at Dana Hills since it opened, loves getting to know all the new faces and personalities each year, plays bridge, gardens, knits, and travels in her freetime, ance a mathematician at MIT. in Aeroe- Iastic Structures Mark McCIeave CEngIishD finds that being organizedis the mast difficult part of teaching, whiie getting up in the morning is the easiest, surfs and plays golf and tennis, advises, Communicate with a positive ottif rude. 2.
