Busy As B's Have you ever walked into school, happen to glance up at that big yellow sign announc- ing the weekly activities and say to yourself, ll efore, the ASB members were the same type of people . . . I wonder who would be so brave as to climb onto the roof and put up all those little green letters? Well, if that thought had ever oc- .- Catching Madame President Becky Parker as she comes out of her office. Becky was the student re- presentative on the Board of Education for 2 months. Busy at work, Debbie Medrass, Debbie Friedman and Julie Treger prepare the roster for the Homecoming vote. Medress and Treger are Delegates-at-Large and Friedman is Comm. of Publicity. Maria Rivera enjoys a brainstorming session in A.S.B. Maria is Commissioner of Race Human Relations cured to you, you won't have to wonder any longer, for that risky job was just one of many important tasks performed by the members of the ASB. These twenty representatives of the stu- dent body were busy all year organizing spirit weeks, dances, the canned food drive, Cam- pus Beautiful campaign, the Get Out and Vote contests, and much more. According to President Becky Parker, The ASB was different this year because it involved a wider variety of people from many different groups. Before, the ASB members were the same type of people, making it harder to meet all of the student needsf, A.S.B. advisor Joan Stewart echoed Becky's sentiment and added that the most important job of A.S.B. is to get students involved and try to make the high school years as fun and exciting as they can be! 268 Associations

Classic Tournament Students in suits and dresses filled the quad, talking to each other, reading from scripts, and having what appeared to be con- versations with lockers, trees and buildings. A visit from an insane asylum? No. Patrick Henry was holding it's annual Christmas Classic. The Christmas Classic was an invitational tournament which our school sponsored ev- ery year. Schools from as far away as Las Vegas are given a chance to compete with other Speech Team members in the areas of Debate, Dramatic Interpretation, Extempo- raneous speaking, Humorous Interpretation and other events. The most outstanding characteristic of this tournament was that it was set up and run nearly competely by the students who were active in Speech. Under Mr. Johnson's watchful eye, scores were tallied, winners were chosen, names were posted and awards were handed out. Sheri Bernstein and Amy Hill ran Extemporaneous Speaking, and had to make up topics and hand them out to the speakers. Both Hill and Bernstein competed in Extemp. at other competitions, Hill stated, The Christmas Classic gave us a chance to see who we would be competing against at ln pursuit of truth and justice, Speech Team mem- ber Jennifer Dill speaks out in favor of her beliefs. Jen- nifer debated Proposition ll, the Bottle Bill, in the Voter Turn-on Rally to be voted on in the November 2 elec- tion. The bill did not pass. the next tournament. We also had a chance to see what we look like when we compete. It was a blast. Andrea Weiss and Renee Schor, who ran ll tudents in suits and dresses filled the quad having conversations with lockers. Humorous Interpretation agreed that having competitors swarm around to see who had made it to finals was the most fun. i'There's a real sense of importance in knowing that you have the paper which says who will make it and who won't, before anyone else knows. Revealed one student from Coronado High: The Christmas Classic is almost guaranteed to provide tough competition. lt's one l never miss. Associations 2 7
