6 —V VITAL SIGNS The Beat Goes On

Page 9 text:

Alive Ihriviiy What proves how alive we are? People! And we've caught them working, playing, learning, competing, commenting and being just plain human. Bodies, 568 of them, provide the most obvious proof of vital signs. To find out how, just look at our student life section. It shows the pulse that keeps us beating. See how and where we work and play. Learn what's vital to our spirit, our enjoyment, our future and maintaining our equilibrium. We'll show you how the beat goes on. Need more proof of life? Test our muscle tone in our sports section. The critical factor is conditioning as both competitive and non-competitive athletes run, jump, stretch and cheer their way through another season. But how could we be vital without our backbone? So at the center of the system we have people. They've been caught posed and unposed, talking about everything from their soap op- era additions to marriage to what made '85 alive. Then it's mind over matter as we check for brainwaves. Our academic section shows operation under pres- sure. Science experiments, balancing the books and baking cookies all test our cerebral functions. Where would we be without our support systems? For us, these systems mean our advertisers. These vital donors help us tell the story of our student body. So what are you waiting for? Put your finger to our pulse and check out the vital signs. Led by senior captain Pat Hook, the Bobcats ■ break through the hoop before the final game of the season against Beaverton. Students, cheerleaders and parents gathered together to form a tunnel over fifty yards long, stretching from the gate out to mid- field. Anxious spectators watched as the Bobcats defeated the Beavers, 34-6, end ing the Bobcats best season in the school's history. Photo by Carrie Mieske. OPENING Theme Development V 5

Vulse TheBeaP Goes On What's more important to the life of the human body than the heartbeat? And what's more important to the life of the student body than its activities? Nothing! So what else could we label our student life section except Pulse. Inside it you'll find what makes the beat go on! As part of our Pulse, we've tried to capture all of the aspects of your life, from the clubs and organizations you joined to the clothes you chose to the Homecoming Honey candidates you voted for. And don't forget to check out our current events pages at the end of this section for special features that made '85 come alive. Because, after all, what's more vital than your likes, your interests, your Pulse! For the first time in over five years, a homecoming float graced the football field. The float, built by the homecoming committee, carried the queen candidates onto the field for the halftime ceremonies. However, getting off the float caused a few awkward moments for senior candidate and future queen, Denise Brown. Photo by Jeff Raymond. With three feet of snow on the ground on February 21, wishful thinkers donned their favorite summer wear for an indoor Beach Day. Seniors like Tim Rigling and Scott LeRoy participated in the Pride Week activities, but the senior class still lost out on the spirit award to the juniors. Photo by Kelly Moseler.
