This semester I have only five classes, but I'm going to get to take six next semester! It's a new rule they added - just like they've been adding new programs and classes to keep up with the changing times. It's kind of like the word Ilacademicsw being redefined . . . in Grandma's time they would have never encouraged public speaking or job pro- grams! I guess they want to thoroughly prepare us for the cruel world out there. Oh well, until tomorrow night . . . sweet dreams! GQ 29

November 19, 1983. Another Satur- day for the rest of the world, a day of exhausting examinations for the members of the California Academic Decathlon team. With the coaching of Mr. Tom Findlay and weeks of prepara- tion behind them, they competed against the intellects of high schools in the LA. district, in an often over looked aspect of life - Academics. Math, fine arts, essays, interviews, and several other subjects bombarded them, but they took the challenge of beating the best. December 7, 1983. Another Pearl Harbor memorial day for the rest of the world, a day of recognition for the CAD members. Entering the awards banquet at the Biltmore Hotel with a touch of nervous hope, they left with wide smiles and symbols of achievement . . . gold, silver, and bronze medals. Fine arts and math proved to be their best subjects - they proved to be our best subjects: the select six of the decathlon team. After all, it's quality, not quantity, that counts! lT'S QUALITY :l -i ,fl Spiffed up Coach Findlay beams with pride 1 while patiently waiting for the ceremonies to f begin. 30 GQ 5 . t ffl we 'gr-f. .m..,::A-.r.4w- A K K :V -K K., ,.,.-J' fill!
