' 'f M .6? Vi Page 42. 1. Morro Bay is a place for living things of all types. A familiar sea gull, with an amputated foot, stays near the fish market for dinner. 2. The bay is a place for work as well as good clean fun. Wind surfing is increasing in popularity. 3. Steve Denham, the wild and crazy surfer, surfs in all kinds of weather, even during small craft warnings. Page 43. 1. New students are amazed at the rapid changes of weather. They are fascinated by Juan CabriIlo's ghost, the fog which wisps in around the rock and a few hours later vanishes. 2. This 7,000 pound anchor located in front of the Whale's Tail restaurant was dedicated in 1983 to the fishermen lost at sea. Several friends, T. Brown. C. Quinney, K. Wiggins, J. Tanner, J. Butler, S.

Juan's Ghost Haunts MBH orro Bay High School lies in the shadow of Morro Rock, the western most of a string of seven extinct volcanoes over twenty-one million years old. MBHS is the only school on the west coast with complete access to the beach. Nothing separates the campus from the ocean except the dunes which threaten to reclaim their hold on what was for years their domain. MBHS takes complete advantage of its location on the beach, including use for academic studies and sports as well as good clean fun. The bay, the rock, the south jetty, and the sandspit, encourage exploration and study and provide a huge natural laboratory as well as an excellent training course for athletic teams. Photo and art classes have unique opportuni- ties to use the beach as a studio. Dedicated surfers are out in the waves as much as two hours before 7:50am when the first period tardy bell rings. During lunch on nice and not so nice days one will inevitably find some of the same surfers checking out the swells. Not onlyidoes Atascadero State Beach attract students and faculty of MBHS, it has attracted Hollywood film crews on several occasions. The most remembered of these films is Personal Best , which made use of the beach as well as the campus. Despite occasional tidal wave warnings, and wind blown sand, the beach and the school seem to work together to provide a most exciting and unusual learning environment. , , 1 if 1 - ' .. 1 ' V 'lf' r 'W' .,,, f MW' V as r E M., K K . f X W am.. - V .

Students Unwind After Class hether their thing is working part-time, participating in athletics, pursuing a hobby, or just spending time at home, all students have a life outside of classes. How students spend their spare time is what makes their high school years the most memorable of their lives. The freedom of an open campus provides students with an opportunity to get a release from the school environment, at least for a few minutes. They make use of this extremely brief period of time to meet with friends, get some lunch and un- wind. lt never seems like it is quite long enough, but every little bit helps. Lunch consists of cafeteria food, a brown bag from home, or an off-campus run to the Nlbble Nook, Burger King, Rainbow's End or what ever stimulates their taste buds. The various curbs and sidewalks provide a convenient if somewhat uncomfortable place in the sun for dining. Fortu- nately, the weather rarely interferes with the outdoor con- sumption of lunch. Often the weather is so nice, students have a hard time making it back to class on time. Lunch isn't the only time students spend out of class. Once they leave school, they enter a different life. Students have many vocations and avocations which they pursue after school, including surfing, sailing, skiing, cruising San Luis, and bagging groceries at Wil- liams Brothers. Getting from here to there is also an important part of student life. Cars, motorcycles and scooters are the popular modes of travel. Believing their transportation to be an exten- sion of their personality or the image they wish to project, many students devote a great deal of time and money to their vehicle, whether it is a late model Porsche, a 1964 1X2 Mus- tang, a scooter, or a bike. lt is these extra curricular activities that provide the wonder- ful memories students keep of their high school years. What- ever pleasure the student takes, it is their out of school life that makes them unique. The variety of individuals and options help make Morro Bay High School the most on the coast. w! s-Wt, Q K 'hw 2 - 3 44 Student Life
