Imagine this: The year 1986 forgotten forever in the midst of the ages. No pictures, no words ... nothing. Time has carried away from our minds all our fond memories. Do you get the idea? Now imagine this: An old treasure chest containing the memories of the past; a nook where the yesterday is still alive and breathes. A magic book where the voices, images and moments that already belong to the ages are recorded. A few pages that resurrect the best of these ages. The magic of the press and the dark room have made possible such a miracle. Here we have tried to preserve for you the most significant moments of the year. “La creme de la creme” of our memories! Behind us now are the SATs, the semester exams and the stealing of others’ places in the parking area; we have also left behind us the pep rallies, Homecoming and so many happy moments that we have had here. Poor seniors — we have lost our privileges again and it will be a long time until we wear caps and gowns again! Now only the number ‘86 engraved in our class medals, class seals 2 Introduction and all the nooks of our memory will bring back to our minds one of the best times of our lives. Photographs, senior pictures — and good remembrances are the only things of this golden spring of our life that time will let us keep. We have carefully selected for you the best of the best; we have been working hard because we know how special the © year was for all of us, and because we want you to view these — pages as if you were reading the best part of your own biog- raphy. Juniors, sophomores, and freshmen, you are going to be the inheritors of this wonderful property, because you deserve the best! We want you to anticipate how great your senior year will be (time runs fast; you don't believe us? You will see!) We hope that your senior year will bring at least as much fun as it has to us, and that it will provide the same fond memories. Here finishes the boring speech and begins the best of the year: Enjoy it, because now it belongs to the ages... and also to you, of course! — Luis M. Cuesta Civis a

4 ACTIVITIES On Toga Day, Senior Keith Bocklet tries to so- cialize with an unwilling senior, Diane Taylor, during second lunch. Trying to keep up with each other, Scott Alexander and Charles Woodruff synchronize their watches. madgine this ... the alarm rings and you're rudely awakened — at the break of dawn. Glancing at the clock on your bedside table, you see it’s 6:15. You rise from your warm bed, stretch, and begin your moming routine. After breakfast, you grab your books and head out the door. You reach your bus stop and stand in the cold moming — air. You arrive at school and walk toward your friends. The bell — rings at 7:31 and you break away to go fo your first hour class. — The teacher walks in the room and starts the moming lesson. — books, and rush to catch the bus home. The bus comes to a shuddering halt and you hop off and begin the trek to your house. Inside, you begin your homework. After studying, you — get ready for dinner. After dinner, you head for the living room and sit down fo — watch a couple hours of television ... until you realize that — you're bored. The same old things just don’t hold any appeal | for you. What's there to do on a Friday night besides go to the — mall, catch a movie, or stay at home and watch the tube? There isn’t anything to do anymore. What's left? Sometimes we don’t realize how important activities are to most students. Activities give the students something to do be- — sides homework and television. They make school life less — tedious and bring the students together in a more social environment, forming memories to cary with us for the rest of our lives. How many times have you wanted to go to school just because there was some activity afterwards? So many activities take place after school, such as dances, hall decorating, and play rehearsals. Sometimes we forget to appreciate the variety of activities offered to us at school. Enjoy that variety ...
