COU-PLEs fkupflsi n. 'l. anything joining two things together, bond, link, 2. a man or a women who are engaged, married, or partners in a dance, etc. -That is how Mr. Webster de- fines couples. -But this is how the Gunderson Grizzlies define couples: 1. falling in love, making-up, breaking-up, new couples: old couples, starting-up, finish- ing-up, walking hand and hand, talking hand and hand, oneness: twonessp 2. sharing, caring, fighting, helping, listening, understanding, cry- ing, laughing Well . . . where do you want to go? Oh, l don't know, there is a good movie playing at the centuries, let's go there! For a first date, many Gunderson students lc prefer a movie overall. A movie gives me a chance to get to know him. lt's a time for us two to talk, says Leslie Manzanilla. Oakridge 6 and Century Almaden are the theatres closest and most used by Gun- derson students. There are many alternatives for a guy and a girl on a date. Many of the students find parties as a good place. lt lets the couples be together and with their friends at the same time. Other big hits with couples are to go dancing on a Friday night, like to Moonlighting, or just to go shopping on a Sunday afternoon to the mall. - lt doesn't really matter to me where we go, as long as we have fun together. says Rico Rodriguez. That was a comment made by a lot D of students at Gunderson. But not just Gunder- son students feel that way. Alot ot c'ouples en- joy the companionship, the laughs, and the sharing with each other. Before anything, l think laughing has to come first. If you can laugh and have fun, it makes everything easier. says Shari Popkin. This is so very true. Can you imagine going on a date and not being able to laugh with your date? 1 Next to the couples is the singles scene. The ' usual singles go out into groups to movies, par- ties, or a night of just dancing. Many people 3 prefer being single. They enjoy the company of ' their friends overall. -Heather Culcasi Seniors Marc Bowen and Stephanie Davis catch a romantic moment at her grandmother s beach house at Rio Del Mar. i Junior Scott Chapman and Sophomore Lori Folla proved homeworkcan't be all that bad, when you have someone there you care about to help you -.,

- - w - - - t Imagine this! It was September 11, 1987, and the students had iust returned to school. Every- one was looking for the opportunity to become reacquainted, and the anticipation of catching up on all the latest news is in the air. Junior Gia Colosi mentioned, lt was great seeing every- one and how they had changed. Fotunately for everyone like Gia, the first dance of the year was here, and the student body has decid- ed to go generic!! Many of the Griz dressed up with the normal black and white, but others, such as Tara Thomas, Shonte Boykin, Sonia and Niecy Law, wanted to show their individ- uality. But why? We just wanted to be differ- ent than everybody else. They said. We wore shirts with chillin' 'n' fresh on the front and our nicknames on the back. These girls, like v v- - -- --- - , , Atop the bleachers, some Seniors could be seen leading the latest dance moves Oc I many other students, helped make their night fun by giving a little extra effort and showing their spirit. Boy, what a night it was! Tickets were sold for 52.00 each, and the dance was sponsored by the Leadership Class. Preparations were done early in the afternoon by many ASB and Class Officers, as well as the Supreme Court. Some of the creative coordinators included Shubhi Herlekar lASB Vice Presidentl and Ce- leste Brown lASB Presidentl. Tunes, sounds, and the hottest noise around filled the air. From 8-11 p.m., the D..l.'s played a variety of music. Everything from soul, to rap, to top 40 and to the ever popular love songs i70eZcame'z?4c6 ance were enioyed by all the happy couples. The young adults, better known as the upper class- men, wore shirts praising their classes as the best. With catch phrases such as Hello l'm a Senior and Eat Beans . For the most part, the dance was a success. Students were whopping and bopping all night. Even our new students, the Freshmen, had a blast. Sandy Chan energetically stated, The dance was hot. We partied on the bleach- ers all night. This all proved it was a hot night and the GRIZZLIES of Gunderson were dancing right!! -Elizabeth Taylor.
