Chris Romeo swimming his fifth lap, breaststroke, in the 200 Individual medley. Susie Bilyeu cheers him on. Jennifer McDonald hosts the ever-popular McDonald's Birthday Party. Stephanie Elliott and Valerie D'Asto practice twirling with the marching band at summer rehersal. Ah . . . summer. To some it means kicking back, soaking up the long- awaited sun, or getting a job to earn a little extra money. To a few it means travel, visiting friends and relatives, or simply exploring a new culture. A lucky few visited places such as Chile, Fiji, Norway, and Australia. Some people spent their summer dedicated to a sport or at- tending camps to limber up their skills before school starts. Chris Ro- meo, EHS competitive swimmer, talks about a summer of swimming. Competitive swimming-the single most important thing in my life for seven months a year. At six feet, six inches tall, most people presume I play basketball . . . and maybe I should, but to me, swimming is far more exciting. I guess swimming is a kind of individual team sport. That is, no crowd cheers when I do well, but on the other hand, there aren’t five or fifty guys on my case when I don’t. Swimming gives me an incredible sense of satisfaction, not only when I win high point at championships, see a wall full of ribbons and medals in my room, or know that the Nevada State Record in breaststroke is just a couple of seconds away, but also after a 7000 yard workout when Im so exhaust- ed that 1 can’t even stand up. It is kind of a way of life; one which satisfies me greatly, and one which I love. That is what swimming means to me, and why I love the sport of competitive swimming. ( Student Celebration 9

Try a little harder to get it open, Willie! Willie Ames painting the senior block, Sat- urday September 6, 1986. Being a senior ... We sit in a new place in the gym. With a senior priv, we can leave school without asking permission. Susan Capelli says, There is more freedom around campus and the teachers trust you more and give you more responsi- bility. We paint the block, drive in the parade, play dead bug in the assembly, order graduation an- nouncements, and basically just have our way around school. Doug Sceirine observes that, Everybody moves out of your way when you walk down the hall. You can roll along and stick freshmen in lock- ers.” Whatever we do, excitement and expectation go along with the responsibility and fun of taking our places on the top rung of the EHS ladder.
