Completely exhausted, Maria C ostanza, '88, crashes after the 10-mile trek, A steady stream of students hits the pavement to earn pledge money. A total of 554, 000 was collected. W f .T T HE. PILGRIMAGE alk-A-Thou ha it debut Llhhh, another days of school, groaned the average Salpointe student as he slowly awakened from deep sleep. But then something clicked in his mind. lt was Friday, November 7th, the Walk- A-Thon day! There was new energy in his morning activities as he wondered what the day would be like. Before we find out what the average Salpointe student thought of his day, let's look into where the idea came from. Why aren't we selling cheese? Mrs. Liz Bemis, who co-planned the walk with Sr. Kathy Rother. explained, People, especially juniors and seniors, got tired of selling cheese. lt was Fr. Leo McCarthy's idea, and then the Student Council OK'd it. And so we walked. The goal of the walk was to raise the same amount of money as the Cheese Drive had, but to keep the money in- stead of sending two-thirds back to the company. The 1986 goal was 556,800 559,000 was pledged, and 554,000 was collected. The administration planned Pm glad we could do something to help the school. to use the money towards building a new track, improving the financial aid program, and renovating the Senior Pa- tio. Reactions to the walk were varied. Ray Skaggs, '87, complained that he didn't like the way the money was spent. On the other hand, Erik Enri- quez, '90, felt that the Walk-A-Thon was a good idea, because so many peo- ple find it hard to sell things the way you would have to with cheese. Said KaraLynn Struble. '88, l'm glad we could do something to help the school. Armando Lopez, '89, agreed, but added that the real reason the walk was a success was that we had fun. And Jon Zaugra, '87, expressed a view common to many seniors when he commented, It was a great experience, but l'm glad l only have to do it once. As far as the Average Salpointe Stu- dent was concerned, being a part of the first Walk-A-Thon ever left him many memories he would never forget especially those of two aching feet!

C THE AGE OF 'DISCQVERY' , Yearbook: some students may consid- er it an easy blow-off class, smirking at the mention of its name. But year- book is far more than pizza, diet coke, and goofing off. Yearbook is challeng- ing because it combines so many ele- ments: writing, photography and de- sign, said Brenda Marshall, '87. Staff members' tasks were made more diffi- cult by the constant pressure of meet- ing deadlines, which often required after-school and weekend work. Most staffers would agree with Diane Robert- son, '88, when she said that there are so many things to do in Yearbook and such a small amount of time to do them in. David Giordano, '87, commented, Finishing a story on time is a sign of divine inspiration. Yearbook is a way of life. Yearbook production was complicat- ed by the change of leadership from the outgoing moderator, Sr. Kathy Rother, to the incoming Bro. Foss Farrar. Al- though the two moderators had differ- lose encounters ent management styles, the transition was eased by the continuity of student editorship, the hard work of staffers, and Bro. Foss' journalistic experience. With this year's historical Time Out theme, staffers also spent long hours poring over social studies texts looking for appropriate periods of histo- ry to use as headlines. The theme is intended to let the students reflect on their past and look into their future, stated Tony Albanese, '87. Bro. Foss Farrar added, We wanted it to instill a sense of history. Students are asked to take a moment to relax as they thumb through the yearbook and rediscover the recent past. ln a very real sense, we are all making history. The yearbook course description warns students that the class may re- quire outside work. Photo editor Kevin Ryan, '87, sums it up by his remark that, Yearbook is not just a class, it's a way of life. 0 Searching for a unique design, Chrissy Bli- charz, '88, and Brenda Marshall, '8Z discuss layout plans, Da ve Schnur, '8 7, ponders an approaching deadline, Anne Borowiec, '88, awaits another story printout. 30 EVENTS 8 ORGANIZATIONS
