But return- 1 1 Qj A Q(A ![)Y, XAri ing as a junior or senior was something en- tirely different. I know I ' m the top; there is no one to look up to; I ' m the one they look up to, said senior Karen Schertle. Seniors and juniors — they were the ones who set the standards for everything. When seniors got rowdy at games, danced at dances and joined clubs, everyone else followed, said Peggy Baker. After a long summer without the typical high school activities students were really fired up, seniors especially. We wanted to make the most of our last year. We took advantage of all the activities, said Scher- tle. Guided by tradition, seniors hoped to ave their mark; they wanted future classes to remember the class of ' 84 as hav- ing a personality of its own. We want to be remembered as the class of fun loving, con- troversial sophisticates, said senior class president Mike Jordan. — CS A newer addition to campiu (right) the Student Centre became a traditional hangout for sophomores juniors and seniors.

Alumns recall past traditions Traditions became memories when I came back as a teacher. The place was the same in many ways, as were some teachers, but I had changed. I had grown up and fulfilled a dream I ' d always had — to teach at my alma mater. I was welcomed here by former teachers and perhaps watched a lit- tle the first few years to see if the young- ster could measure up to the standards and uphold the traditions of Orange High School. At first it seemed strange being the au- thority in a class where I had once been the student. Memories were recalled like the time seiior Brees caught me checking a Spanish test answer with another student, (my first and last time) and the time Miss Stover sent home my one and only deficien- cy notice ever in high school, for scoring a C- on a hockey test. I also remember Mr. Slick coaching the quartette I was a mem- ber of, trying often in vain, to keep us on key. Strolling through the Outdoor The- ater, I remembered trying out and losing the election for Patty Panther, a position I dearly wanted . . . then being reminded of the loss when I had the daughter of the girl who won in my class. But the memories were also positive, like being chosen as the lead in the Senior Class Play (thanks in part to Miss Stover) and having deja vu when I was asked to perform in a faculty play. In all, I liked Orange High and I still do; for me it is my home the place I wanted to be and the place I wanted my own children to be. It ' s the sense of belonging, of being a family that I still feel here at Orange High. — Irene Matthews The home side of Fred Kelly Stadium (left) sunds empty after last night ' s crowd cheered on the football team in a tough game against Foothill.
