HEARD IT. QUESTIONING ANSWERS With well over 2000 hours of work, the staff and administra¬ tion underwent a self-study as one part of a complete evalua¬ tion of the school as recom¬ mended by the National Study of School Evaluation. The self evaluation usually requires a minimum of one year with the second step requiring an evalu¬ ation by a visiting committee. The total process developed by the National Study of School Evaluation is a means for rec¬ ognizing that schools which have obvious differences may be equally sound educationally. Schools are evaluated by their philosophy and objectives and the extent to which they are meeting these objectives. School personnel, adminis¬ tration, governing boards, par¬ ents, and students were all in¬ volved in the self-evaluation and no segment of the study was used alone; rather, all sec¬ tions were correlated to form a comprehensive instrument to initiate needed changes or im¬ provements. Mrs. Margaret Vernon takes notes as Principal James K. Hiatt dictates a letter. WHITE LIE COMPROMISES Sometimes you don’t want to tell a monstrous lie. You don’t want to get caught in a trap ei¬ ther, so you compromise and tell the legendary ‘‘white lie”. We have composed just a few of these ridiculous excuses. Sorry I’m late but . . . 1. We lost track of time. 2. We had a flat tire. 3. I didn’t want to be the first to leave. 4. I had to sober up. You wouldn’t want me to drive drunk would you? 5. We went parking and got stuck in the mud. 6. There were seven people in the house and the clock was only set for six. don’t have my homework be¬ cause . . . 1. I didn’t do it. 2. What homework? 3. The dog ate it. 4. I did it in invisible ink. 5. The power went off and I tried to do it by candlelight, but it caught on fire. 6. I laid my book on top of my car, and when I took off, lost it on the side of the road. I’m sorry I can’t go out, but. . 1. I’m dating someone else . . . in Eastern Siberia! 2. I have to wash my hair. Uh? Tomorrow? I have to dry it. 3. Me? ... go out with you? 4. I could get a rash from your pocket protector. 5. Because everyone has dif¬ ferent taste, you have none! 6. I prefer to date people of the opposite sex. SOUNDSHEETS Songs in the Attic II, included with the yearbook, was pro¬ duced by Eva-Tone Incorporat¬ ed, Clearwater, Florida. The soundsheet was manufactured from a master tape which was recorded and edited by the Ar¬ chive Staff. WHAT EVER HAPPENEDTO... From time to time everyone wonders what happened to a certain person or thing. During snow days with little else to do but ponder important issues, a list of topics fuels fires of won¬ derment. What ever happened to: hula hoops, silly putty, Petticoat Junction, Captain Kangaroo, hop scotch, bell bottom pants or the Flower Children of the Sixties? What ever happened to: Imelda Marco’s shoes, Sky King and Penny, Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, The Munsters, and Hopalong Cassady? What ever happened to: inex¬ pensive T-shirts, Tinker Toys, Howdy Dowdy, The Lone Rang¬ er, and Mr. Ed? What ever happened to: Tom Terrific and his dog, Mighty Manfred? What ever happened to: Jan and Dean, Bill Haley and the Comets, Chubby Checker, Paul Reviere and the Raiders, and Superman? The list goes on. During times of boredom, a wonder list could save sanity. VICTORY FOR STARS AND STRIPES The United States recap¬ tured the America’s Cup after losing it to Australia in 1983. “The Stars and Stripes team defeated the “Aussies” by 4 Consecutive victories in the best of seven.

COUGAR DEN: EXCLUSIVE “HANG-OUT” After the closing of Tex’s, stu¬ dents had nowhere to hang out . . . then came Cougar Den! The Cougar Den is a small place, modeled after a night club, that is only for PCHS stu¬ dents and their guests. While there, students can sit around and talk, eat, watch TV, play video games, or listen to music played by DJ, Benny Puckett. There is a variety of music rang¬ ing from Run DMC to Motley Crue, so everybody is bound to hear something they like while they are there. The Cougar Den also had the local rock group, ALEAX, play there on the grand opening in January. As every¬ one will probably agree, the Cougar Den is a convenient place to just hang out and so¬ cialize. DON’T YOU WISH . . . 1. The guy beside you did 2. You lived in Beverly Hills 3.

See how many of the year’s best mov¬ ies you went to see, and how many of the box-office hits you missed! Sammie Cassell and Benny Puckett have a casual conversation with a friend. The Cougar Den, on Main Street, provides a hangout for many teenagers; a place where they can sit back and relax. Movies to Remember Karate Kid II Top Gun Stand By Me About Last Night Friday the 13th, Part IV Cobra Rocky IV American Tail Poltergeist II Psycho III Nightmare on Elm Street II Raw Deal Star Trek IV Ferris Bueller’s Day Off Wisdom Nothing In Common Platoon Crocodile Dundee As for Quicksilver, it was gone in a flash. Wildcats was nothing to cheer about, and Heartburn was just that. Both Iron Eagle and Legal Eagles were shot down early in the season. Howard the Duck nev¬ er got off the ground. Laby¬ rinth remained a puzzle even after viewers saw it. And American Anthem drew no pa¬ triotic response. The movie Legend won’t be one, and Once Bitten took a serious bite. These hits and misses, of 1986 were the ones that we remembered the most and with good reason! WATCH OUT! Television gives us the chance to kick back and relax. Family shows, sit-coms, and soaps dominated the T.V. scene in 1986-1987.
