,aft SHIPWRECKED. Subic Bay natives Mike Dennis, Chris Dillon, Angela Anth- ony, and James Slonsky stand together at GDHS. All have been in Subic since elementary school. CLASS REUNION 'flt seems like I've been here forever.l'- the typical complaint of the George Dewey student. Most of us spend three years here, away from the familiar school systems of the States. However, four seniors at George Dewey have spent most of their school years at Subic Bay. Angela Anthony, James Slonsky, Chris Dillon, and Mike Den- nis were all students in Miss Hayden's fifth grade class at Binicti- can Elementary. Angela arrived here in fifth grade, James in fourth, and Chris in first. Mike was born in Subic Bay and has lived here ever since. According to Mike, his lifestyle has its advantages and disadvantages: Well, itls bad when all of your friends leave, but it's good to see them return sometimesf, Yeah, Chris added, nLiz fAhlJ, Jerry fPearoj, and Mark fSanteroJ all use to live here. I use to tease Jerry on the bus because he had the biggest muscles in fourth gradef, All four plan to attend college after graduation from George Dewey. James wants to go to college here for two years, then go to the States to earn his degree. Both Chris and Mike, friends since first grade, are applying to San Dieto State University. Angela plans to go to college in the States and earn a degree in Veterinary Medicine, possibly through Army ROTC. She says that she would consider returning to the Philippines. James agrees, saying, 6'People put this place down, but it's not that bad. I'll probably visit the Philippines after I graduate. Chris displays a less positive attitude toward returning: It's time to get out. Most Dewey students consider their roots to be in the United States. For them, living in Subic Bay is a temporary adventure. For these four seniors, it is home.

GDHS TGDAY FUTURE PLANS What's next for the class of 1988? The majority of George Dewey's sen- iors plan to go back to the United States after graduation. Three quar- ters of the class plan to attend col- lege across the nation, from San Diego State to the University of New Hampshire. The leading career choices are jobs in the military, fol- lowed by careers in business or in medicine. Some of the more interest- ing plans for the future are: - to become an aeronautical engineer for NASA Gerry Pearoj - to become an audio engineer for CBS Studios fAron Schatzj - to become a wealthy foreign service officer fAnne Arponl In 1998 at our ten-year reunion, the class of '88 will be coming to Anaheim, California to relax at Dis- neyland. They will be flying in from naval stations across the globe, in three piece suits from Wall Street, and from emergency rooms in hospi- tals across the country. ew-ease gasses? aw W' Z ufrrzos C C3 0 Q o Q , rs 0 'Cl is .

Mr. Scales, a familiar face in the Far East, has been teach- ing at GDHS for three years. He follows in the footsteps of his father, a missionary who taught young Indians on an Oklahoma reser- vation. In fact, every member of his large family, seven sisters and four brothers, be- came teachers. Mr. Scales commented, lt was understood all along that all of us were going to become teachers. lt was built in. His teaching career has taken him across the globe, from Iceland, the land of frost and fire, to the steaming tropics of Sumatra, Indonesia. Of Law, English l2, Speech, Humanities, and Social Studies, Mr. Scales loves teaching Humanities the best: I love the broad area it covers, It stimulates students, and brings lit- erature and art together. lt all coheresf' ln his thirty-two years of teaching, Mr. Scales has practiced the primary virtues of a good teacher. Patience You need a lot of patience. A teacher must also have a real love for teaching, and must keep up with the times, to keep up our end ofthe education. Mr. Scales' ideal teaching situation would be a traveling classroom . . . to take a class- room of students 365 days a year to see the great works of art taught in Humanities. We could eat in cafeterias in Spain, and do home- work in hotel rooms in Italy. It's fun to watch him read and teachfi said Val Paraiso, one of Mr. Scales' senior English students. He makes us want to learn. When he reads, everybody gets into it. Everybody gets into the spirit of learning.
