April Starting Early Sophomores Darrin 5amuels and Charles Downey constantly have foot- ball on the brain. Charles Downey and Darrin Samuels are sophomores rhar found our hrrd work really does pay off. To make the varsity football team, one must go through off-season training, have good grades, show ex- cellent skills and have a great attitude. I had to work harder on the weights and other skills in order to get stronger and quicker, Charles explained. They received support from their parents, the com- munity, and other students. The upperclassmen on the team support ,me, and I support them. It works both ways in a team relationship, said Charles. The coaches made sure I was listening at all times in order to learn the different rules and techniques, said Darrin. Senior Dill Hill, varsity football player, added, If the coaches think they are strong and have good skill they must be talented. The sophomores on the team showed great skill, we support them as well as the other members. They said that there were many memorable and ex- citing experiences on varsity football. When you ' re a sophomore and you score your first touchdown, it is a feeling that ' s undescribable, said Charles. Doth Charles and Darrin hope to play football in college. I would like to go to the University of Hawaii, said Darrin. Classes 85

Beginning in eighth grade, sophomore Jerry Conwell bought o Texas Instrument computer, just to see how it worked. The computer fascinated him enough to start trading new games. But after acquiring several hundred games, this become boring, Jerry soid. Next he starred making BASIC programs to serve useful purposes and rake only a few days to produce. Jerry soid, I threw together a little program to help me study for my English vocabular y test. If was very simple, but it made studying easy and quick. Jerry ' s older brother, Jim, was the primary influence who encouraged him to work with computers. Other things were trading software. I met many people trading as far away os Los Angeles and New York, said Jerry. Although Jerry does not trade much anymore, he still talks to his friends across the United States. Jerry has sold one of his computer programs to his brother ' s company, Phoenix Red Software. Jerry said, It was simple but it contained a lot of information and there was a demand for it. For Jerry, his computer is nor an obsession but a hobby. He does not plan on making it a professional career. Writing complex professional programs is a long, frustrating and tedious job and the slightest little error con totally ruin a program, Jerry soid. Classes 87
