He has been an integral part of several North- east teams, as a wrestler, Steve was cap- tain and made the All-County and All- Conference teams. He also found time to be the captain of the cross country team and a member of the track team. Steve said he needed sports as a way to escape the other pressures of school. His activities at school didn't end on the playing field. He was active in the Spanish Club, the Spanish Honor Socie- ty, and the National Honor Society. Steve commented that he participated in these clubs because he enjoyed being involved with many clubs and different people. He exercised his leadership ability by presiding over the Science and Engineering Club. Steve's ac- ceptance to the Air Force Academy will take him to Colorado Springs, Colorado, but he will have many memories of Northeast to take with him. All of our wrestling matches are outstanding memories with me, and my Chemistry II and Physics I classes definitely provid- ed some nice memories. cr-HafsEN1oRs 203

Football and wrestling coupled with a heavy schedule and involvement in In- teract kept Tom busy. His studying paid off, as he was consistently on the honor roll.

Being chairperson of the tree sale was a lot of hard work, but we had fun and did something for Northeast at the same time, commented Tom. One of his outstanding memories was guarding the Christmas trees for Interact. In addition to his involvement with school and sports, Tom found time to participate in other activities. He was an Eagle Scout, the Sunshine Ambassador for the city of St. Petersburg, and a win- ner in the 1981-1982 Rotary Club essay contest. ,ffl

They must not be, for if they were, it would be doubtful that Northeast would have the highest county enrollment in these classes. Advanced Placement English, taught by Mr. Rick Coffman, and Ad- vanced Placement History, taught by Mr. Fred Dorsett and Ms. Denise Hart, were offered. Benefits of these courses were three- fold: first, since they were honors courses, grades earned carried an extra honors' point. Secondly, they were helpful in applying for colleges. It shows academic excellence on the part Intent on finishing their assignment, Lowella Esperanza, Tammy Randall, Leslie Kizzee, Lechi Vo, Kathe Richert, and Sharon Clark work quickly in their A.P. English class. From taking this course, students had more realistic expectations of what awaited them in college. 204 SENIORS!Ha-He of the person who takes one or both of these classes, Mr. Coffman com- mented. Third, the courses were designed to prepare students for a nationwide advanced placement test. These tests were graded on a scale of one to five points, five the highest possi- ble grade. Depending how high the score, it was possible to be exempt from freshman English or history at most ma- jor colleges and universities. These ex- emptions might translate into financial aid. Organizing his thoughts in A.P. history is Steve Ivory. Students had their first chance at writing a research essay for that class when they wrote on the American Revolution. l
