SHIP AND SCHOOL SHARE NAME OF FLAMBOYAN T ADMIRAL The eerie red glow from the dimmed lights in the Combat information Center made the concentrating radar operator look ghoulish, as he peered at the screen of his SPS-49 air search radar. Multiple bogeys inbound heading 262 at 600 knots. The report was acknowledged and acted upon withint seconds. En- gage SM-I and commence firing. came the captain's order. Suddenly all lights flashed in the room as the computer-simulated attack was successfully repelled. This scenario and others, such as mock submarine attacks, surface engagements with hostile ships, and fire support for am- phibious landings are all part of the mission of the USS Dewey, a guided missile destroyer. The DeweyfDDG-451 is the second ship to bear the name of the admiral for whom our school was named. The first was a Farragut class World War II destroyer which Lorna Villamil. L,N. Secretary Perla Bernal, L.N. Secretary Charles Ailsworth, Science Fell' Angel- Philippine Culture served with distinction in decisive battles of the Second World War, such as the Battle of the Coral Sea, the Battle of Midway, and closer to home, the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Today's USS Dewey has a ship's complement of 26 officers and 378 enlisted men. Her motto The World's First and Finest was adopted because this ship was the first to be built from the keel up as a guided missile platform. Decorated with three Battle Efficiency ribbons, the National Defense Service Medal, the Vietnam Service Medal, and five Sea Service Ribbons, the USS Dewey carries the proud heritage of the name which first gained notoriety during the Battle of Manila Bay when Admiral George Dewey uttered the immortal words, You may fire when ready, Gridleyf' Raquel Dumaplin, Library Clerk Angelito Vitug, Supply Clerk , ' 'ZH Joanne Atwood, Media Spe- . - Elmer Beshearse, Computer cialist Science 77

ADMIN KEEPS SCHOOL AFLOAT I don't believe there's been a day yet that I've felt I'd completed everything that needed to be done. Someday I'll have a neat desk! said Ms. Piencikowski, assistant principal. A messy desk is not surprising, since Ms. Piencikowski and Mr. Ryskamp run a school that is compa- rable to a small business in the everyday world. They must keep up community relationsg evaluate, develop, and revise the curriculurng assure the school is in good repair, discipline students, and do numer- ous other pertinent tasks without which the school could not run. Before coming here Mr. Ryskamp took a years sabbatical which he used to begin his study for a doctorate in public relations. I love to visit classes, as that's where the 'action' is at in any schoolf' stated Mr. Ryskamp. Three years ago Ms. PT was a math teacher at Kadena High School in Okinawa. Her favorite part of being vice-principal is, helping students achieve their goals, improve fthemselvesj, and solve their problems? After completion of his doctorate, Mr. Ryskamp plans on staying a principal in the DODDS system - though not necessarily at GDHS. Ms. Piencikowski would like to gain experience at the elementary level. Together these two strive to make an education possible for the students of GDHS. The question, what would you miss most if you had to work at GDHS without the other? was posed to each. Mr. Ryskamp replied, HI would miss her willingness to get things done. Her smile and happy disposition make my job much easier. Ms. Pienci- kowski said, I would miss his humanistic and positive approach to all situations, and his trust in me. , Leo Antipolo, L.H.
