Students Make It to the Top by: Enriela Bautista There was no stopping these four bright seniors the past years as they left school with high grades and fond memories. Thomas Baker, Michael George, Bhanuben Patel and Jayne Plummer all had something in common in that they were all high achievers. During their four years they managed to achieve something that they could be proud of. Baker managed to earn all A's with the exception of Q B's. George received straight A's while Plummer had all A's and one B during her years. Patel received straight A's also. My goals are to attend DVC for Q years, transfer to Hayward State and major in criminal justice administration, Baker said. My goals are to graduate from a good college, get a good job and settle down with a family that is both happy and healthy somewhere on the West Coast, George replied. Plummer added, My future goals are to attend a four year university to pursue a career in mathematics. I plan to go to college for my Masters in Business Administration, get married and work while going to school for my Ph.D and make my life long dream of meeting Sylvester Stallone come true, Patel said. Although all four worked hard, they did find time to spend with their friends and actually relax a bit. Grades were important to them but like George said, Grades aren't all there is to life. These students remarked they received support from their parents which helped them achieve their goals of top grades. 1. Seniors Guenetta Stephens and Nikki Hughes ask questions about clubs. Clubs' Day was a very suc- cessful day as many students showed their interest. Q. As Chuck Robinson puts in input, Lus Ramos waits for the output. Computers are popular at school. 3. Amien Ab- uSafieh does some handy work on his car in auto shop. The class helps prepare students forajob. 4. While Lamonte Love raps in chemistry, Ron Polk diligently writes down the words as Love runs them off. 5. Marzel Price checks out some season stats from last year to see what is needed to be improved. 6. Sandra Valencia and Maria Bartolo laugh during a break in computer class. EELLLULLE

Creature Appears In Delta by: Colleen Parent As seniors familiarized themselves with the old routine of the school year, and rushed around to take their senior portraits on time, a drama was building in the delta. A strange creature, about the size of a bus, had apparently wandered away, under the Golden Gate bridge, and out into the delta. The eight year old humpback whale, or Humphrey as he was appropriately dubbed, started his Q3 day journey into the Delta on October 1 1 , 1 985. Apparently, he had taken a wrong turn somewhere while he was migrating down the Pacific Coast from his summer feeding areas in Alaska to the calving grounds along the Mexican coast, 1 Humphrey was first spotted beached on the Berkeley marina. He was freed from the beach, but then decided to head the wrong way up the San Joaquin river. During his trip, Humphrey was sighted several times, in Antioch and Pittsburg. Many spectators flocked to the downtown Marina in lieu of a glimpse of this 40 ton creature. 13 Nina Trias prepares to set the ball to Vicky McGill. Meanwhile Toni Blackman watches in sus- pense. QD Seniors Todd Leber and Dennis Cuya work in the Student Service Center. They're checking names prior to the Miss Pirateer election. 37 Derrick Bleck displays his dancing ability while doing the Oaktree. Fans are waiting for the Rooter bus to take them to the championship football game. Elillllilili
