Taking a casual break from her studies is Kate Rushforth. It is not often that these devoted students find time for socialization, but when they do. it ' s all smiles and well-deserved fun! OCAD Kiwanis Bowl Teams perform mind by Rosehe Vasquez % % A nd now, we have our re- turning champions from Saddleback High School competing for the ti- tle of number one team in the country. And over her, their newest challengers. The Kiwanis Bowl is a game of quick thinking and fast talking. The person who ultimately answers the ques- tion and wins a point for his team must rely on his hand reflexes. Before answering a mindboggling question, the competitor must press his buzzer before his opponents reach theirs. Mr. Bunch, advisor of the Kiwanis Bowl, spent a great deal of time drilling his stu- dents with facts and figures. I try to instill upon stu- dents a winning attitude to- wards academics; teaching games them to take pride in being intelligent, while at the same time having fun. The three OCAD teams: Freshman, Sophomore, and Jr. Sr., each consisting of two A, two B, and two C level students, prepare for an en- tire year, and are often given mock contests of skill to become accustomed to the pressure of the genuine competition. In the annual decathalon students compete in ten categories which include presenting a speech and re- ceiving an interview in which they are judged in poise and academic excellence. There is no way of foretell- ing precisely which ques- tions will be asked, and advi- sor, Mrs. Palmer, can only coach the students on an ar- ray of subjects which are likely to be explored during the competition, y ft Kiwanis Bowl — Row 1: L Nguyen.

Seeking the help of two year council member Marcella Cortez, Freshman Secretary Treasurer Neil Carter finds the help he needs. 9 During a council meeting. Judy Padilla. Sophomore Class Vice-Presi- dent, voices her opinion. The first period leadership class provided student leaders with the opportunity to help better the school. ExQcutivG Council Pulling together for success by Linda Yokoi rom the horse-drawn F carriage at home- coming halftime to the departure of ac- tivities director Mr. Attebery, the 1984-85 Executive Council led a successful year. Throughout the year, council members held meet- ings with hopes of making the year an exciting and in- teresting one. Some activi- ties included Homecoming spirit week, sponsoring a family in need at Christmas time, the blood drive, and the famous donkey basket- ball game. I think we ' re very ac- tive, Vivian Bodrosian, sophomore president, said. We tried new things like having voluntary voting, and our homecoming was great. The success, some felt. was due to the leadership un- der ASB President John Cook. John gave his best to council. Other council members at- tributed the success of the year to the ability of the group to work as one. Ex- ecutive Council had a lot of unity this year which helped us to be successful in our ac- tivities, Tina Alaniz, ASB Secretary, reflected. There were many hard times, but we seemed to pull together, especially when Mr. Attebery left. He taught us to be hard workers but have fun at the same time. Even after adjusting to a temporary activities direc- tor, Mr. Franklin, second se- mester, Executive Council continued and finished the year. Even though we lost our activities director during first semester, Bedrosian said, council pulled through it and we had a great year. y Executive Council — Row 1: M. Cortez. T. Alaniz. L. Yokoi. J.
