Another Part of Life Begins as Ambrosini, Shipe. Enea Retire Libby Ambrosini, Dorothy Shipe, and'Sara Enea resign- ed their positions before Christmas vacation leaving behind many memories of Pittsburg High School. Ambrosini began working here after graduating from Pitt. The staff honored her with a luncheon and presented her with a per- sonalized Royal typewriter, that she used for many years and gave her a necklace. Guests from the district honored her for the 40 years of dedicated service she gave to both the high school and district. When asked if students had changed, she replied, Kids are kids. Another hardworking member of the classified staff, Mrs. Dorothy Shipe, retired after 15 years in the Main Office. She worked as joanie Orlando the secretary to Mr. Barcenas and Mr. McAdam. All four of Shipe's children graduated from Pitt, including her daughter-in-law, Patricie Shipe, a teacher in the English Department. She said, I will miss my friends but not the work. Also it will be wonderful not getting up at 5:30 in the morning to go to work. Shipe added that after retirement, We are planning to travel and it will be so nice to be able to go on the off- season, while everyone else is in school. Another retiree, Sarah Enea, retired in September after working in the library for many years. She is enjoying her free time which she spends with her grandchildren and travel- ing with her husband. - Christine Douglas Dorothy Shipe 206 - f Vx Gale Golden Gwen Haase Lk L I Dave Hubbard Hattie Stingley Faculty 3 3 x 2 Margaret Gutierrez , Carol Hosmer I l I Marilyn Lombardo Sara lean Wood

According to a re- cent survey ,most students at PHS spent their extra cash on clothes. Today's trends included troop , adidas , gucci , guess , bongo , lotto , british knight , and many more. Junior Heidi Smith commented, Students spend a lot of money on clothes because we feel we never have enough! Besides, clothes aren't very cheap these days. Latrice Gamblin added. A lot of girls didn't wear dresses anymore -- a skirt maybe, but it had to be mini! With the mini skirts coming back into style, many com- plained on how short they would be. The administrators thought that it was indecent and in bad taste, but there were no complaints from the students. . . Easy Go Another thing students spent their money on was their hobbies. Most types of entertainment are expensive and usually need a lot of money, Terrance Kawakami said. Hobbies were important to many because it's what they did when they are bored or when everyone else wasn't around. Many people had hobbies like shopping, movies, friends, putting together models, skiing, etc. Whatever it was, hobbies were expensive, but fun for whomever liked them. Sports were another thing students spent their money on. lf it wasn't going to see the sport, it was buying the equipment to play the sport. I spent most of my money on tennis equipment because I love the sport and l have money to spend, Michael Estanol stated. Nevertheless, whatever we spent our money on, it was important to spend it wisely. 1987 Top Ten Movie Rentals 1 . Lethal Weapon 1 Records Dirty Dancing 2. Outrageous Fortune Soundtrack 3.
