Futuristic goals held by speakers Traditions of excellence were not broken by the year's speech team. From humerous interpretations to heated Lincoln-Douglas debates, the group maintained a demanding schedule of endless research, practice, and perfection. The Spartans ranked in the top four competing with 15 other schools. Throughout the year the 38 member team participated in over 20 competitions. They traveled to such places as Bakersfield, Cal State Fullerton, Cal Poly, and University of the Pacific. As the speech team continued to win trophies by the dozen, they kept a futuristic goal in mind. The young team consisted mainly of juniors and sophmores all with exceptional talent and potential.

The right stuff Besides the hundreds of new faces this year, the freshmen and the new students, there were other faces, those of the new teachers. With a shortage of teachers in the areas of science, art, English and drama, the race was on to find those with the right stuff for Davis.

Fortunately, several teachers were found that had the right stuff. Several moved to Modesto from such places as South Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio and Northern California, providing a variety of backgrounds and lifestyles to learn about. Those selected to instruct at Davis were: Brian Beard Cartj, Lynn Block CROPD, Linda Brayton CHome Ec.J, Steve Butler CScience and Mathl, Kim Dinnell CSciencelCoachJ, Kristine Haberling CEnglishJ, Raedine Lillie CROPD, Karen Lotko CEng.lDramaD, Barbara Quinn CEng.lBus. ECU, David Rancano Clforeign Lang.J, Debbie Svopa CPhys. Ed.J, Mike Wollman CEng.J and Debbie Herrmann CROPJ. When asked if he thought these teachers had what it takes, Dr. Tweedie smiled and said, Only time will tell... - Heather Hajek iii Do you suppose Brian Beard's artistic expression is exhibited by that bow tie?
