California. Volume 98 The ones to W A T C H What is a true identity. ' How can a person express and establish his her own identi- ty. ' The possibilities to this question are endless. One of the most common ways to identity someone ' s identity is by their style of dress. The jocks and jockettes were often seen in their casual sweatsuits, while the preppies walked around with turned up collars and topsiders on their feet. Aside from the jocks and the preppies, the new wavers and the mods were seen throughout the hallways of San Rafael High School. With their speical haircuts and clothes they cer- tainly made a unique crowd. It was very hard to go around school with- out seeing at least twenty skateboards. Skateboarding became a very popular sport during the past year. This year was a time for students to ex- press themselves in new and different ways. It ' s been a year we ' ll never forget. 1.

Introduction 3 Alders Uea i u-V l Utx a C7 .c::, u iA..£ t: uiea.r 4 Introduction The Ones To W A T  H Throughout the year the students accom- pHshed many difficult goals by working together. From the classroom to the play- ing field, the students have learned to combine their ideas and come out with a good end product. In the classroom students were found helping each other on projects or even daily homework. The teachers were al- ways willing to help and work with stu- dents who needed extra assistance. Athletics played a big part in teamwork. Players supported each other in times ot defeat and parried with each other in times ot victory. Another aspect of working together was spirit. The students were involved with school spirit. The songleaders, cheer lead- ers, flag girls, baton twirlers, and mascots spent endless hours practicing and per- fecting their techniques to inspire the crowd at the football games. Clubs spent many lunch periods and nu- merous hours after school discussing and planning future activities. Club members learned to cooperate and work etticientlv while still havinc fun. The Ones To ]V A T  H While at school we see each other having fun in many ways. Some people talk with friends or maybe joke about their teach- ers. Others participate in sports and club activities. There are rallies and spirit days. At break time you can find people playing hackysack or hanging out by their cars. During lunch time some people play vid- eo games across the street at Pinky ' s or buy a frozen yogurt at Rafael Yogurt. Not all fun is found at school. After school and on weekends visiting depart- ment stores becomes a popular sport for the fashion conscious student and be- comes a way to spend tree time. Some people put on parties, go to concerts, or sail on the bay. On warm days you can find students at the nearby beach cooling off or just relaxing and catching some rays. , Every San Rafaelite has their own individ- ual way of having fun. This is one of the reasons that it is interesting and exciting to be part of San Rafael High, 1. Wade Fisher getting carried away by Michele Prunty and Michele Sanbrailo. 2. Molly McGuire has a ball on beach day. 3. Monica Thicde and Alexia Pilos pool together. 4. Cathy Palka enjoying the local haute cuisine. ml ' A I ' 1. Ian Stoba plays all night long. 2.

Friendships Friends were the ones who were always there and accepted you for what you were. They were there for times of celebration. Thes e were the people you chose to spend your time with. Special bonds were created during the school year. For some these were old ties, for others, new ones. Whichever they were, these bonds were never broken. As everyone agreed, friends were something everyone needed and nobody could have done with- out. Bailis-Bernt 11 11 Hugging Mark Alders is his special friend Shana Bagley. KIRSTEN A.

Easing Up In the last year of High School many seniors took a long desired break from studying and took more of an interest in other things. With all their competency tests, SATs, and ACTs behind them, they could lessen what has been a rough workload the past three years. Seniors usually filled their schedules with non-academic classes, although they sometimes still found themselves cramming for finals. Seniors were the masterminds of procrastination, always finding a reason to do it some other time . This is not to say that all seniors put things off, but when for the first time in four years, a person could actually afford to do so, they did. Putting homework aside.

Hall-Hoh From Vaurnets to Ray Bans, whatever the name was, everyone had a pair. Sunglasses were worn at all times of the day, including before school, break, lunch, and after school. The purpose of these glasses was not only to keep unwanted rays of sunlight out. but to establish one ' s personal- ity. Ray Bans were worn mostly by freshmen and sophomores to suit their mod style of dress. Vaurnets, as usual, dominated the entire campus as the most worn type of sunglasses. They were worn by all the classes. There were some stu- dents who did not Craze at all ihe Shadze Most brands of sunglasses came in ' variety of colors ranging from black to red. Styles varied from cat-eyes to glasses that folded up to size of one lense. One factor that kept this a hard fashion to stay with was the price. Depending on the style, Vaurnets ran from $50-$100. The cost of Ray Bans was about $45. This craze of sunglasses comes and goes. SHEILA HOLLERN JODI HUBBLE BETH HUNSTOCK DAVE J.

San Rafael High School completed another very successful year in 1986, overcoming obstacles that it had faced for years. In 1888 when the school opened, there was but one building with a graduating class of five. Today the number of graduates has risen to over 200, and the school has expanded to several buildings. One of the toughest battles San Rafael High faced in the past four years was the consolidation of San Rafael High School and Terra Linda High School. Just recently in 1984, this problem was temporarily solved. Because neither school was closed, the school will be around for its 100 year anniversary in 1988. 1 Ross-Sarrafan 21 27 Senioritis enior year came a lot faster than one could guess. The last year at school differs for each person. For some it was the final chance to till college applications and decide which way their lives would go. For others, it was a year of relaxing and enjoying the lite of a senior. Just like all the other classes, seniors were labeled. But the label they received was more like an attitude, a way of life, that developed to an extregie from September to June. This label, the attitude of seniors, could be described as SENIORITIS . This could be noticed in seniors as early as the first day of school. They were the ones who said, Hey, it ' s only the first day of school! We don ' t do anything anyway, so let ' s go to the beach! And they did it. This was senior year. The ability to be chronically late to classes only down the hall from each other. The best excuse one could give was I don ' t know! . The inability to rise in the morning without a strong cup ot Mrs. Olsen ' s favorite was common. Early day senior classes could always be found by the aroma of coffee coming from the classroom. Seniors were also plagued by excessive relaxation. This could strike at any time. In the middle of a test in Government or English, an over- whelming desire to just put one ' s head down and sleep struck. This may have happened in the earlier three years, but the difference was that the idea didn ' t seem so off the wall and they did it. Another aspect of senioritis was the lack of solid classes on their schedules. A senior ' s schedule resembled a camp activity sheet more than a list of classes, two T.A. classes, an office aid class, and a psychology class where everyone Om ' d out all period. Senior year as a whole crept up on us a lot faster than we expected, but left us with memories that will last us a lifetime. KAREN A.

No guts no glory. Individuality San Rafael High School has always seen many different types of people, styles, and attitudes. There were the basic jocks , mods , new wavers , personal styles and even a few prep- pies scattered here and there. People held their own attitudes and view points along with their styles. These many sided students were openly accepted at S.R.H.S.. It has always been a school of diversity, in personalities, styles, or otherwise.

After three years of jog-a- thons, car washes and candy sales, one would think the enthusiasm would decrease , said Co- President Mark Mynhier. That wasn ' t the case with the class of ' 86. This year ' s senior class raised enough money to have a junior prom and still have a successful senior ball. Associated Student Body President Robert Read described the ASB as a group of diverse, yet hard-working people. We had a lot of fun and we also accomplished a lot. Senior Class Representitive Erica Avon summed it up by saying, We ' te looking forward to the future that awaits us, but we will always remember our four years at San Rafael High. Holding the position of a senior officer gave one the chance to talk to his classmates individually about class activities. The officers created an enjoyable year that would be memorable tor everyone. Q; Where do you want to be one year from now?

There was no way to classify those who walked through the halls of S.R.H.S.. Each person fit into his own niche by way of dress, hair- style, likes in music, sports, I.Q., or income. One way to identify all who attended S.R. was by classes. The Junior class was fairly easy to rec- ognize. They were the ones who had grown in size and mind. They were far more intellectually mature and capable of taking on responsibility. They were the ones who were starting to take a closer look at their futures. They were the seniors of tomorrow. They were the class of 1987. As for sophomores, the previous years ' freshmen, they were very conservative and a much closer class. They were the ones awaiting the keys to the car. They also realized that in order to accom- plish their goals, they couldn ' t always save schoolwork for the last moment. The Centennial Class of 1988 looked toward a bright future. The freshmen ' s year was filled with ex- citing and sometimes frightening and new experiences. Starting a new school and meeting new people wasn ' t always easy. No matter what any upper class- men said, everyone went through freshmen year once, maybe twice.

This is a time when students really have to put all of their efforts and time into their schoolwork. By that time many of the juniors have matured a lot from their sophomore year. They realize that they only have one more year to go before they are off to college. Recognizing the new responsibilities that are ahead for them, the juniors set high goals in order to accomplish the needed skills for the future. -.

The seniors, as always, received SEN- lORITIS. The freshmen were lost in the GAR- BAGE. The juniors were faced with one more year and then . . . graduation caps. Among all this confusion, what happened to the sopho- mores.- ' They were no longer labeled with fresh- menitis, but the immenence of graduation was not upon them. So what were they? Skate- boarders.- ' , which was what many people saw, but not a fair representation of the class. As ninth graders, they were frightened, terrorized by up- perclassmen and rarely spoken to. The glory of juniorhood (pre-senior) seemed years away. So where were they in the scheme of things? Not wild or scared, or on the loose, but they were in a period of transition. This year was the year peo- ple tried to find out who they were, who their friends were, and maybe what they would do with their lives. By the time almost two years were complete, one no longer had to stop and think, was this the right period? The area and combination of the hall and P.E. locks were finally locked in their memories. The classes in the school no longer seemed like a metropolis dropped in their laps. Frienldy hellos were exchanged in the halls be- tween casual, everyday acquaintances, and may- be even a nice teacher or two. The area once scoped on during break was down pat and lunchtime activities were on a regular pattern. The second year brought with it comfort, search- ing, hopefuUness and maybe, even a place in the overall scheme of things. Among wild, loose, and scared, could they have been finally on their wa y ?

It seemed that a program was developed to make those darling dears regret that they ever stepped foot on S.R.H.S. soil. A new program was developed to make the freshmen more physically fit. Besides imprinting their running shoes on the track of the Miller Field, they also had a splash in the S.R. swim- ming pool. Whether they were running or swim- ming laps, the whistle would soon blow. With a sigh of relief they raced to their locker room and to their next class. This new program seemed to work; they all hated it.

The rush to the shower. the rush to school, and the rush to the first I lass. However the student chose to get to school they always, or at least most of the time, made it before the tardy bell. Throughout the week students ran into all lorts of obstacles to overcome. Whether it was homework or a test in all their classes on one day. There was always one thing tiiat helped the students tough out the week, that was Friday. Friday meant the beginning of the weekend. The weekend meant Fun! Fun meant The school always had some sort of activ- ity planned whether it was a rally, or a game, a dance, the Cavalcade, or the spring musical. Students always came out in full spirit to see their school perform. cV d)f y c r he - 1 .3 eciX ' .Th, Story cU c o U hoAx b?oi fofaL r e- 7 ' u.W+- i your jpU s fhr So r 2 Student Life Student Life 73 HOMECOMING The Week Reviewed Homecoming week was a time of excitment, anticipation, and school spirit.

All names have been changed for the protection ot those in- volved. - The Place; San Rafael High - The Time: Fourth period English Class A student has just been injured and now has to face the . . . ATTENDANCE ZONE . . . (music- ).From the student ' s point of view: It all started in my fourth period English class ... I had let a friend borrow a pencil so he could do the assignment. We were supposed to write on American heroes. I wrote it on the Brady Bunch. Five minutes before the period would be over, my friend said ' Hey Dude! ' I looked over and he threw me the pencil. I raised my hand as if to catch it. The next thing I saw was blood and a pencil embedded into my hand standing perpen- dicular. I asked to be excused. I walked down the newly cleaned hallway leav- ing a trail of blood. I finally reached the doors of the A.D. building. I opened the door leaving smeared blood stains as I struggled to the . . . Attendance Office. So there I was clawing my my way to the . . . Attendance Office. I could barely walk, I threw my body over the half door and called for Mrs. Horton. ' Mrs. Horton, I ' m dying! Can I go home. ' ' Mrs. Horton looked at me. I was white as a sheet and blood was everywhere. I must have lost at least two pints of blood. (The pencil was still standing, but I wasn ' t.) I was lying on the ground. Mrs. Horton spoke those dreaded words.. ' Well I can ' t let you leave until a parent or guardian can give permission for you to leave campus. ' In a weak voice I asked, ' Can I use the phone. ' ' Sure, ' she said with a smile and handed me the phone. The first thing I did was call my mom ' s office. My fingers shook as I dialed her numbei with the pencil in my way. The phone rang twice before a voice answered, ' Hello, Suicide Preven- tion Center, please Hold. ' I ' m dying and they put me on hold, I couldn ' t believe it! After a few minutes the voice came on again. ' Hello, Can I help youi ' ' Yes is, my (mother ' s name) there. ' ' ' I asked, ' Urn, no she isn ' t. She doesn ' t work to- day, ' The voice said. Oh Thank You. Well my life was just great! So then I called home, hoping Mom would be there. I let the phone ring seven times, no answer. I called my Dad, who was out to lunch. I wasn ' t going to call my grandparents, they would probably have pan- icked. I thought a while. There was no one i could call; I was alone in this world; I was still bleeding and the pencil was still standing. I prob- ably had graphite poisoning, but they didn ' t care That phone was my last hope and ... in the middle of my deep depression Mrs. Horton in- terrupted my thoughts . . . ' If you want I can give you a pass back to class, and how about a ban- daid for your hand? ' I looked at the ceiling and looked at Mrs. Horton who was smiling. I took the pass and the bandaid and hoped tomorrow would be a better day. As I headed back to class I heard Three bells ringing which usually meant they needed the janitor for something ...

During this occa- sion students and teachers combine their talents to produce a show. This year it lasted approxi- matley two hours. The performers put on a vari- ety of different acts. They ranged from The Hillbillies to classical music and everything in between. Even teachers had spirit which made the audience cheer. As usual Tom Truchan organized the whole thing and did a very good job. They made about $400 to $500. Victor Escobedo, Mike Earias and Tom Truchan were the Masters of Ceremony. They enchanted the audience with their funny jokes, and in the end Victor finally learned to count. All in all it was a learning experience which provided enter- tainment for all. 1.

They presented scenes from ROMEO AND JULIET, THE TAMING OF THE SHREW and they gave the audience a taste of Shakespeare with a modern interpretation of rhythm and dress in A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM.

This was the scene of the 1985 Winter Formal Dance. The annual December dance was held in the gym as usual, accompa- nied by a D.J. and a professional photographer. The dance was open to all classes which made it a special event because it was unlike that of the Senior Ball and Junior Prom. This past year the gym was lightly decorated with silver stars and balloons. The atmosphere was festive and every- one had a good time. All in all, the Winter Formal of 1985 was a huge success that left eveyone with fond memories of an exciting night. 1. Everyone dances the night away at the 1985 Wintei Fo: 2. Isn ' t he a fox.

It was obviously the 1988 Centennial Air Band contest. The night started with an outstanding performance by the student teachers. This was enough to satisfy the crowd, but it was only the beginning. RUN TFC took us Back to Cali, and followed up with Star Treking- which were very funnny well done skits. THREE JERKS AND A SQUIRT, followed with I Want Candy ,and the Super Bowl Shuffle, were a big hit Friday. MALICIOUS ANKLEBITERS ' gave everyone a run for their money with Soul Man, and Brickhouse. This all girl team was very organized, very creative aand well put together. The question for this night was CAN YOU DIG IT? This band did a Bad-Celebration mix, and then came out with a mix for all tastes. WET PAINT did a song against drugs, White Lines, and If You Want My Body. Some of the best dancing was dsplayed in this well rehearsed act. RUN TFC took 3rd, MALICIOUS ANKLEBITERS recieved second, and CAN YOU DIG IT? conquered first place. This was the best Air- Band ever. Ted Harding, co-host with Scott Stewart said. And everyone surely agreed. Slmliin ' iheir stuff are Three Jerks and a Squirt starring Tiffany Horton, Samantha Moulin, Kristin DcQoux, and Angel Ilasse.

AIR-BAND 3 Creativity 99 Spring Turnabout Dance The first annual Spring Turnabout was held this year on April 16th. Due to the success of the formal the Junior class is now one small step closer to a spectacular senior ball. The uniqueness of this formal is that the girls were expected to invite, and pay for, the guys. The idea was not an original , but it was a first to San Ra- fael High. It was a typical evening with forgotten corsages, late limos, run nylons, and people late for dinner reservations. Eventually whether plans ran smoothly or not, everyone made it to the dance. The decorated gym, filled with balloons, set a perfect scene for the assortment of music played by the D.J. The majority of the people burned off their dinner calories by dancing the night away. The bathroom were always busy with a hurried hustle and bustle of guys and girls primping themselves for their pictures, and the flowery back- ground gave a feeling of springtime. 1 1 W i i ' 1h }■ 1 1 ■,w E 1 1 1 h —V.

CENTENNIAL WEEKEND ' Creativity 99 VARSITY BASEBALL Tlic 1988 Viirsity Baseball Team, coached by Mike Bru- Mti, Jimmy McCarthy, and manager Keith Fraiscr began the season wiih great hopes of an M.C.A.L. championship. Playing in a league with a very tight race in every game we had our opptirtunitics, but the Bulldogs were plagued with bad luck, A lack orhitting,bad luck, and the loss of two key players proved lo be enough to keep the Bulldogs out of the playoffs. With an extremely well balanced line-up, the team had no superstars, each player had equal importance to the ballclub as a ii ilii- Aaron Lofrano had an outstanding season behind the piafe Brian Wurz continued to make the play a 3rd. Sophomore Scotl Sellers and Shane Grcvin balanced the middle of the infield. Junior Greg Livengood anchored 1st base, while Pat B. Roberto Castillo, Joe Ford, Andy Capdarest and Brian ChalUird did the work in the outfield. Other key players include Sean Lehman and Grey Trucx. The pitching duties were split up fairly evenly between Dirk Fuller, Milt Hy mas and Roben Castillo. While Dino Montcrelloand Gavin poore plalooned as designated hitler.

The team has won the NorlH Coast Section (NCS) Champship in lq981 and 1983. ;J Overall, the team has a record of 201 wins and 45 losses, The credit for this outstanding record and listdi acheivements goes to the dedicated players, who have worked hard over the years, and Joe Casu ' onovo, who helped start the league program and has been the only San Rafael Coach since the program begun as a MCAL sport in 1978. Since then the MCAL sofiball program has developed into a sU ' ong league. In past years no oone has matched up to SR ' s team su ength.

Although thcJuniorDawgS were plagued with injuries and untimely deparUares from ihe team, the girls managed to keep within the top three compctitiors. The success of the Dawgs is given in part to the Skilled coaching of Sue Anderon and assistants Stephanie Kirby and Steve Anderson. When it came right down to that split second decision of what to do, Sue ' s constant drilling came through in the minds of the players; and the situation usually turned out in favor of the Dawgs. The season consisted of long and hard practices, challenging umpires, rained out games, and most of all smashing victories for the Dawgs.

SammyHo is tlie only senior on the ; team. The rest of the team is comprised ;: mostly of sophomores andjuniors with a i few freshmen. During the pre-season matches : the team looked as if it wasge ing up for : a gcx)d season. Then with the loss of key !: player Alex Bolotsky due to injury, the ;; team was badly weakened. The team started the season off : with a surprising upset victory against ;: Novato. Since llie team has played quite : inconsistently being unable to win the five individual matches necessary for a team win. Although the team ' s record doesn ' t appear to be great, the tennis team had many close matches which could have gone cither way. The tennis team is looking forward to a promising season next year, only losing one player. Next year ' s team will be more experienced and headed by a handful of veterans.

DAVID ROBERTS Creativity 101 The Ones To W A ' T C H What are sports all about? MARK MYH- NEIR, senior and a top athlete, says, Even though sports are competetive, you still are able to have fun. That ' s the im- portant thing, having fun. Though the athletes at San Rafael take their sports seriously, they like to have fun while they ' re out there on the football field, the basketball court, or in the pool. All-around athlete ROSANNE PAUL says, If you don ' t have dedication and determination, you won ' t achieve your goals. Water polo player and swimmer CHRIS HANZLIK says, It takes a lot of dedication and work. Besides playing and practicing in school sports, a lot of athletes work out else- where. Captain of the volleyball team JTI- LIE WESTHOLDER said, I play as much volleyball as possible. It goes way beyond school participation. The pressure of winning gets the player ' s adrenalin flowing which makes them want to win. All-around athlete ELLIE BAL- DWIN states, I love pressure!!! Being up on the mound with bases loaded, up by one, with a full count ... my mind ' s on one thing only; to strike her out! What would all of these athletes be doing if they didn ' t have these athletics in which to participate. All-around athlete CHAR- ENE FRANKLIN said, I would prob- ably spend a good portion of my free time watching cartoons. Playing a sport gives me something to do and a sense of ac- complishment. Sports are not all fun and games. It takes a lot of time and effort on behalf of the players and coaches. It ' s more than just competing, as All-Leaguer JON BAKER puts it, It ' s the best learning experience I have ever encountered in my school years. N r n ' . .

These leaders not anly impressed their parents with their athletic abilities, but they were respected and looked up :o by their teammates. They inspired the under- :lass players with their intensity, determination, sride and most ot all. their positive attitudes. some ot the members of this elite group were : (ON BAKER -First team all league offensive tight end and the Eric Wheeler big play award. jARY JACOBS -First team all league defensive line backer, team ' s most out- standing player award and the Doctor Cook outstanding de- fensive player award. OHN MANNION -All league honorable men- tion quarterback and the M.V.P. award. NGUS McCLURE -Second team all league tackle and the Rusty Ghi- lotti outstanding offen- sive lineman award. MARK M ' NHIER -First team all league offen- sive running back and the Scott Duncan most inspira- tional player award. MIKE PERRI -Second team all league defensive tackle. The 1985 varsity football season was an exciting one for the Bulldog team. We played a scrappy, team-oriented brand of football that earned the respect of our opponents. We finished the sea- son with a 6-4 record that included thrilling vic- tories and dissappointing defeats. Throughout the season, we became a close-knit family of players and coaches. Through the year we played one-hundred percent effort, pride, determination and for this we held our heads high!

Varsity Football 105 Surprising Season This year, our J.V. football team had more than its share of problems during the 1985 season, but it was apparent that we came together as a team in the end. We won our last two games with authority and finished the season with a league record of 4-3. It was an admirable job by Coach Ross Bracken, who throughout most of the sea- son was without aid during practice. On game days, he was assisted by Coaches A.J. Wilson and Ron Patrick. Before the season started, the mutual feeling of the team was that we had the talent to sweep the league. Conflicting attitudes and too many individual players prevented us from achieving our goal. However, we did learn the importance of playing together as a team, and we will bounce back to championship caliber football next year. 21- Dave Brant 13 Bill Dietz DOGS OPPOSITION 28 TAMALPAIS 7 TERRA LINDA 28 9 MARIN CATHOLIC 6 SAN MARIN 14 14 REDWOOD 33 18 NOVATO 32 DRAKE L Dave Brant (21) giving 100 percent to get those six points for the Bulldogs. 2.

Jason Blomquist, one of the two captains said, We played well and it was an action packed season, He also said, The high point of the season was our victory over the Marin Catholic Wildcats, The Bulldogs were really up for that game and they played error free football. The freshman team was led by Quarterback Roger Sweeny, who was a great asset to the team. He was a good scrambler and had the strength to break tackles. The two other leaders of the team were the Captains, Jason Blomquist and Joey Ciatti. They brought the team ' s morale up and inspired the team to really want to play football. DOG.

Wild flower shorts made the Bulldogs stand out above the rest. This unique look inspired every- one on the team. Mixed feelings came from the crowd and from players and coaches of the other teams, but that didn ' t stop the BuUdogettes. Although the team was young, they had a lot of experience. A majority of the players had played the previous nine months in USVBA. With only five returning seniors and two returning juniors from last year ' s team, the happy Bulldogs man- aged to make it to the MCAL playoffs. The night of the playoffs was also the night that the MCAL All-League players were announced. The Lady Bulldogs had five players that were honored. Making first team were players Julie Westholder and Krista Wuertz; Second-team players were Tracy Tipping and honorable men- tion was Mia Bernt and Fontaine Segerquist. The team captain, Julie Westholder, said I think the team will dominate MCAL next year. I wish them the best of luck. They are young, but very experienced. The Lady Bulldogs had an MCAL record of 9-5. Their overall record was 14-8. They took fourth place in MCAL. ousc 4.

SPIKES INTO ACTION The season started out with close wins and losses, but the players were enthusiastic. TheJ.V. Volleyball team had many returning and exper- ienced players along with many new and rising players. Returning from last year were Maria Siatos, Rosie Tuatagaloa, Vicki Kelpsh, Lisa Bandettini, Jenny Peacock, Elise Youmans, and Sara Anderson. With these players and coach Bob Hess, the team was able to put together a skillful lineup. The first year players quickly learned the needed skills of volleyball and per- formed them well. Kerry Barthel, Paula March, and Young Won Kang, who were surprising newcomers, showed their quick skill and ability to play the game. With the leading first string players blocking shots and spiking effectively, the team was a challenge to any competitor. They showed their determination by fighting for every point until the game came to its conclusion. Just by watch- ing them, they proved to be a very coordinated team. Though they didn ' t finish the season with a per- fect record, the players were pleased with their performances. S.R.

We, with our sweaty, red faces and gasping breath, have run up the rolling hills of Mt. Ta- malpais; and through the cold waters at Stinson Beach. We have stumbled thru poison oak and tricky paths at China Camp. We were lost, angry and confused at the screwed up course in the Navoto hills. We are the worshippers of Dr. Ben (Bengay) and worn, smelly shoes. As we survived these terrors, we became a team of runners and friends. When we competed, depression and fatigue could set in quickly if there was no one there to keep their spirits up, said Coach Jim Meyers. Together we have learned to control and con- quer these feelings. We turned to each other and we won.

Cross Country 117 VARSITY BASKETBALL The Bulldog ' s Varsity Basketball Team enjoyed one of the most successful season in its history. Led by unanimous First-team All-League pick, Jon Baker, the team finished the campaign with a 21-6 mark. The 21 victories are of note because this year ' s ballclub was the first San Rafael team to win 20 games or more. Along side Baker, who ended the year as the league ' s second-leading scorer, the Bulldogs also placed three other players on the all-league team. Junior guard Bill Archer, who was second in the league in free throw shooting and second on the team in scoring, and senior point guard Bob Archer were named to the Second-Team, while power forward Ken Shepherd, a valuable inside player for the Bulldogs, received Honerable Mention. But the Bulldogs talent didn ' t stop there, as they had the deepest and most talented bench in the MCAL. ' Without this bench strength, the Bull- dogs obviosly wouldn ' t have had a successful season, the help at guard came from senior John Mannion, senior Don Dugdale, junior Drew Miller and sophomore Bob Aldridge, while up front the depth was provided by seniors Robert Read, Wes Sitchler, Mark Lakeman and the young Andrew Fido Fedeli, a junior who was struck down late in the season by a tragic arm injury. Crowd favorite Pedro ripol, a transfer student from Spain, provided physiological help through MENTALIZING. The Bulldogs, who finished second in the league with an 11-3 record did many things that San Rafael teams had not done in a while. First of all, they won their first pre-season tournament on 20 years (the Antioch Tournament). We also beat Drake! Halting the Pirate ' s home winning streak after nine yaers. Out of nine years, San Rafael had only beaten Drake once until this year. Though the year did end on a down note, the unforgettable play-off loss to Tam, the Bulldog ' s hard work and success will not be forgotten soon. The hard work and smarts of Coach Bret Tovani will always bring good results. Without his influence the team would probably not have enjoyed the success it did. -ROBERT ARCHER 1.

Frosh Basketball 121 The Lady Bulldogs had a late start this season with only five pre-season games. Other teams went into the season with approximately twelve games. A change of coaching took place which set the Bulldogs behind. Mike Diaz, a varsity coach veteran, took over the coaching job for the team. This was the first time that Diaz coached a girls team. We had a slow start, but towards the end of the season I saw a lot of improvement, said Diaz. The Lady Bulldogs were also a young team. The team consisted of only two seniors, eight juniors, and two sophomores. Returning players were Charene Franklin, Julie Westholder, EUie Bal- dwin, Debbie LaFranchi and Carolina Katz. San Rafael had two second team all-league players this season, Charene Franklin and Debbie La- Franchi. Next year ' s team looks very promising, with only two players leaving. The team will have the talent and the experience of playing well together. There will be a good chance for a playoff spot for the Lady Bulldogs, next season. Good Luck!

The freshmen girls basketball team ' s preseason games were rather slow, but fortunately that only made us more competitive and much more ag- gressive during the actual season. The team worked hard and put a lot of effort and time into their games. The other teams started taking us more seriously. During mid-season we began to really stir up some action giving us a total of 5 game wins. Head coach Bruce McFhael, and assistant Coach John Campeaw gave us a lot of support which added to the overall performance of our team. After our first game the San Rafael J.V. Girls Basketball team knew they were in for a very long season. We made it through our 14 games with quite a record. Once we even, miraculously, made it to overtime!! We all remember that excit- ing game, with all those shouts from the bench like No it ' s the other basket!! and Get in their FACE! We had a great season! Coach Mills, that wonderful man, made fantastic last second strategies and helped us to keep our famous team spirit up. To prove my point I must add that after all, we only lost halt our games in our gym ... the other half we lost away! Much thanks to Coach Mills!! Paula March, Susy Wiser, Rachael Villasenor, and the other 14 members will be returning next year. Tracy Fitt, a starting linebacker, said We The TEAM had fun playing as well as learning; we learned to play as a team and not just for ourselves!! Girls ' Frosh and J.V. Basketball 125 The San Rafael wrestling team finished the sea- son at 4-1, losing only to San Marin by a close margin. Joe Paz, Tony Buoncristiani, Alex Que- zada, Dave Gordon, Louis Nave, Tak Horiuchi all made it to the North Coast Section. Tak Horiuchi and Dave Gordon both took MCAL Championships. The discipline and technique of head coach, Gary LaPore, and assistant coach, Jeff Baldwin, gave the team an extra edge. The star girls not only kept stats, but they also kept the wrestlers on their toes. Wrestling has taken a dramatic turnaround from mediocre to a top contender in the MCAL. Next year ' s team has a promising future with talents such as: Tak Horiuchi, Joe Ciatti, Mike Delgado, Greg Burgess, Adam Hurley, Luis Master of Disaster Quezada, Carlos The King of Sting Escobedo, Rafael The Sak Sakellariou, Leon- ard Super Soph Howard, and Lone Senior Bobby BC Contini. A quote that should be running through the mind of a wrestler is: You must have the hear, the mind, and the guts to be a S.R. wrestler. For months these men would go through harsh prac- tice and long matches. You must respect your opponent, but you mustn ' t fear them. say Mike Fennel.

An outstanding athlete is not only a excellent athlete, but he is one that can lead and bring a team together with his effort and actions. A lot of hard work and dedication came from these players. They put in many hours afters- chool and a lot of effort and determination. Being an outstanding athlete went beyond athle- tic ability. Leadership and support from their fans and other players helped these athletes reach their goals. They were not only an inspiration to their teammates, but they were and inspiration to all who saw them. All these outstanding athletes whould be recog- nized for their outstanding ability. Whether it was football or golf, each put in just as much work as the other.

They helped us learn and excel in many different ways. Those who deserve the most credit are the administrators, counselors, teachers, aides, secretaries, clerks, and janitors. Dr. Collins, Mr. Rideout and Mr. Riesen kept academia under control. Aides helped teachers and students. Secretaries and clerks kept the school organized and lo- cated students to give them the lunches left at home. Teachers benefitted our lives by teaching us important skills and how to learn, think and grow. Our janitors de- served credit for picking up alter irrespon- sible litterers and keeping the campus spotless. With the aid of all these special people, a new breed of students was produced. These students were the conquerers of | academics. They excelled in inter- and outer- school activities. CSF members showed their skills in academics through outstanding grades and tutoring other stu- dents. Both music students and academic decathalon members spent much of their time afterschool studying, practicing, and mastering. One special section in this divi- sion recognizes those students who were spectacular. With all these incredible people a promis- ing future is assured. 50 Academics r Academics 131 I know I ' m a hyper person — this is decat Hnated! i 132 Administration Alice Martin Attendance Clerk Dean Coman Library Clerk Irene Anderson Secretary ' Helen Cunningham Secretary Nancy Prather Data Processing Clerk Charles Freeman Librarian Ethel Barclay Secretary Jan Heglund Secretary Secretaries and Clerks H wj jr 1 A W S gj l J Vera Hum Librar) ' Clerk Marie Bradley Secretar) ' Secretaries-Clerks 133 L to R are Bill Pearson.

They don ' t eat. They never leave the campus. All they do on weekends is correct papers. They have no feelings. FACT: None of the above is true about teachers. As one may believe any of the above myths, it must finally be exposed that teachers really are humans. One may think that behind the pair of glasses or inside the pair of shoes that calls role from the front of the room is a machine. This machine may give bad grades, send students to the office, or just hand out homework at an unconquering rate. Well, sorry to spoil any hypothesis, that machine-like mass is really a human. This human really does eat, goes to the restroom, and even has a family and friends! Surprised. ' ' Although some teachers seem formal, strict, and unemotional while others are more open, laugh, and are more relaxed, they are all capable of having a good time. No matter what personality they wear at school, teachers have various ways of enjoying life like other humas do. They may go bike riding, run or jog, go out to a movie or dinner, meet a fellow teacher at a football or basketball game, or spend time with their family. It has been discovered that teachers are just as human as everyone else. They even have feelings. Students may be schocked in disbelief about this study. It is proven that teachers take their jobs seriously and therefore act just like any other working person at another job. As in any career, some are more serious than others and each teacher has his or her own way of working. Behind what you may think are the glowing red eyes, the fire-breathing nostrils, and the lips that always seem to produce the words 1000 pages due tomorrow is really a caring person with real emotions. Students must realize that teachers go grocery shopping, laugh at Eddie Murphy jokes, cry at sad movies, or love someone, like a husband, or something like ice cream. Out of all the teachers tested in this nation-wide study, 100% were proven to be constructed of living human flesh and have emotions. (This statistic includes the .00012% error factor involved.) Students should respect their teachers ' seriousness and remember that when some teachers were teenagers, they have done ever crazier things than students do today.

WHEN IN DOUBT, ANSWER d Before the six competitors, one alternate, and coach assembled in the Novato High School cafeteria on the morning of Saturday, November 16, 1985, much preparation, research, and time had been involved. Seniors Andreas Schultz and Ian Stoba (team captain) represented the Honors party, Chris Hanzlik and Dascha Inciarte were the Scholastic delegates, Shana Bagley and John Mertz were the representatives for the varsity team, and junior Joel Cummings as alternative for varsity. They studied tests from last year ' s decathalon, researched for hours, wrote and memorized speeches on this year ' s topic of im- migration, read and discussed Alan Paton ' s mov- ing novel CRY THE BELOVED COUNTRY, and reviewed text books and magazines to aid the further understanding of the areas on which they were to be tested. After a quick history lesson on world geography and WW I through WW II with Mr. Byer, biology review with Mrs. Stevens, chemistry and physics with Mr. Stevens, and many late night cram sessions, the decath- letes were seemingly ready to compete in the 1985 Marin County Academic Decathalon. A medley of good lucks echoed throughout the halls as nicely-dressed competitors from Marin Catholic, North Bay Secondary, Novato, Redwood, San Marin, Drake, Terra Linda, and San Rafael proceeded to their designated testing rooms clutching their Decathalon folders. The participants ' pencils and pen scribbled and erased nervously as they were completing their first of ten tests. They were given forty minutes to successfully write a thousand point essay on three topic quotes on immigration. Then throughout the next six hours tests of academic strength, designed not to be finished, on math- ematics, science, social studies, economics, lan- guage and literature, and fine arts were given and speeches and interviews were performed. Participants and friends gathered in the gym to complete the 1985 USAD Super Quiz, composed of questions about immigration history and laws. As the minutes ticked by, Redwood developed a substantial lead with Marin Catholic in second, and Terra Linda and San Rafael tied for third. All of a sudden, San Rafael began scoring fives. San Rafael and Redwood ' s scores were double checked. It was a 41 to 41 tie! Chris Hanzlik and a Redwood competitor battled it out with pencils and brains to answer the five point sudden death question. An inch of worry ran through San Rafael ' s minds, Chris had only scored two out often points during the event, but encourag- ing cheers, a bit of luck, and a few smart brain cells triggered him to choose the answer to What was the purpose of the Contract Labor Law of 1864? with d. to pay an immigrant passage to the U.S. for a contract wage . The tension increased as the final moment arrived, San Rafael-correct, Redwood-incorrect. Both Coach Stevens and Joel made Olympic-record breaking leaps from the stands and the San Ra- fael team, as well as a few new friends, mobbed Chris with congratulatory hugs and screams of joy. 142 Academic Decathalon C. 5 .

' s students who had a 7:15 A.M. orchestra class. It was one of the largest and best band groups at our school. Spirit Band received perhaps the most publicity of all the music departments because it was the most visa- ble band. The band prepped up many sports events with music that got the crowd moving. Jazz Ensemble played for the fourth annual Big Band Dance this year featuring music from the 30 ' s and 40 ' s, and on Sunday, March 2nd., the ensemble played in the Carnelian Room in San Fransisco, which was a great honor for us. Concert Band woke many people in the morning, espe- cially those in the surrounding neighborhood. It was not the largest music dept., but it was one of the most enjoyable. Choir started off a little apprehensively because the students wondered if Mr. Johnson would be able to successfully lead the choir in place of Mr. Jones (who retired last year). Their doubts were soon put to rest; He took the students to Los Angeles and performed with them in numerous concerts during the holiday season. 1. Yuri Weber playing chopsticks in E minor. 2.

They helped the Quebec Club and Close-Up make their dreams of visiting Quebec and Washington, D.C. come true. Of course other clubs always seemed to have some master ploy up their sleeves. The Computer Club tricked us into buying their lollipops which fizzed in the middle. Their sale turned out to be suc- cessful. The Ra-Ravas made a gracious effort to help the food bank during Christ- mas vacation, and the Ski Club planned a skiing adventure. There was also a new organization called S.A.D.D. (Students Against Drunk Driving) who sent out a message to all students not to Drink and Drive. Let ' s not forget the media! KSRH, the radio station, brought music over the air- waves. The Red c White newspaper up- dated the students on what was happening at school. And, of course, the Searchlight which brings this yearbook to you!! An important lesson that came out of joining a club was that friendships were made and people were brought closer to- gether and were able to work together as a team. Clubs and Organizations gave the students an opportunity to involve their time, effort, energy, and themselves in an activity which they could enjoy and feel a part of a team. 148 Clubs and Organizations Clubs and Organizations 149 Bottom Row; Julie Landeker, Ann Brown, Lisa Nave.

The Quebec Experience For the sixth year, the Quebec Club offered S.R.H.S. students a chance to participate in a meaningful, cultural exchange. Twenty-five of our students spent twelve days in a small town in the Canadian Province of Quebec. This gave the students a chance to experience a different lan- guage and a different culture. This exchange was much more than a tourist trip or a guided tour through parts of Canada; it was a unique exper- ience. To raise the needed funds, the students took part in a number of fundraising activities. A couple of these included washing cars and taking inven- tory at Macy ' s. Yes, it was work but in spite of it all, and because of it all, we loved it. Quebec was a great opportu- nity but better yet it was a very educational experience for everyone. We would like to give a special thanks to Mme Goff-Tuttle for putting in all the time she did. -% 1. Mme. Goff-Tuttle finds time to talk to the Mayor of Quebec, Jean Pelletier, 2.

Apart from weekly meetings, the German Club ex- ploits German restaurants throughout the county together with the TL-German Club. We also tried our talent in gardening, and dream of one day getting enough money for a ski trip. The German Club was also the club that thought of the great well-loved idea of carnations on Valentine ' s Day. Still to go, we will be having a hopefully successful picnic on Angel Island, again to- gether with the TL-German Club, and we hope to attend the International Dinner host- ed bv the French Club.

French Club The French Club was an organization ot new ideas and good friends. The club ' s homecom- ing float, which was a giant escargot (or snail) with some of the members dancing around with chefs suits on, won the Club ' s Float Competition at the Homecoming Parade. At the Holiday Faire, the group raffled off cokes. The main highlight ot the year was the host- ing of the international dinner, a pot luck dinner held every year, together with all the other foreign language clubs. We have done many things with the help of Mme. Goff-Tuttle and the energy deriving from new friendships. We all hope that next year the club will have new members and more and more ideas. tottom Row: Mike Peters. Caroline Katz.Jill Mariani, Gina Shore, Lisa Ross. Top Ro..-: Kerie Logan. Neomi Strong.

Many of our fundraisers were for the banquet we had at the end of the year. Basically we enjoyed having a good time. This year was especially important because we brought the school together by rais- ing money for the Mexican Earthquake Relief Fund to help the people of Mexico City.

The club met weekly meetings were held in LA 214 to discuss and expand the horizons in the world of Chess. The game of chess is an old one originating during the medieval times. The interest in the game has survived and grown through the cen- turies. Since the game is mostly an intellectual one and not requiring much money, no fun- draisers were needed or held. The members sup- plied what was needed, as far as playing pieces and boards were concerned. This seemed to be the only prerequisite for membership besides an interest in the old and everlasting game of chess. Top: P. Vilksnor, M. Dav.s, M. Slouber. C. Brown, E. Reed, S. Holbert, B.

Membership in the club was not restricted to only people who knew about com- puters. KFRC radio station had held a contest which enabled the winner to receive new Apple Computers. S.R.H.S. won the contest and is now the owner of the new Apple Computers. These computers were used by the members of design useful programs and computer games which were open for use by anyone. The Computer Club may have been small in membership, but the few people who belonged definitely made the most of their resources and expanded their horizons in the growing world of Computers.

Their purpose is to prevent students from drinking and driving and to find an alternative way of getting home, such as: caUing a parent, or have a friend stay sober. Hopefully soon there will be a TEEN - SADD Hotline which will be in operation. S.A.D.D. hopes to gain more members to make their pro- gram more productive. Ra-Ravas Ra-Ravas, are group of students usually girls primarily concerned with making the communi- ty in which we live better. They are a service organization that aids community through ser- vice projects. This year we have aided the S.R.

The Drama Club serves to support our school ' s dra- matic and musical productions as well as to in- crease the awareness, among the student body, of the performing arts and their great benefits. In order to accomplish these things and to attend local p roductions of plays and musicals, our- selves, the Drama Club has found it necessary to raise funds. This year we sold both pocket calen- dars that we had printed with a San Rafael High School Bulldog ' s emblem and singing telegrams at the Holiday Faire. By the end of this year, we hope to be a registered troupe with the Thespian Society, a national dramatic arts organization.

Little did I know that my assumption was accurate. Those yearbookers took to those layouts, like ants to a picnic. Soon terms such as; copy, pica, cropping, column width, and white space all seemed to blend into their everyday jargon. It was simply beautiful. An Editor ' s dream. Then suddenly I woke up and had to come to grips with facing reality. Although I never held a machine gun to any of the staffs heads during a deadline ... I seriously could have. Then again, I wouldn ' t want to confuse them, they probably wouldn ' t know which deadline I was referring to. For that matter neither would I. It always seemed as if we had an ongoing deadline, and there was no end in sight. This year our theme was ' The Ones To Watch ' and I think you will understand why as you turn the pages of the 1986 Searchlight. We changed the course of yearbook history! We broke traditions, explored new fields, followed patterns from the past, threw it all together and Voila ... a quality book appeared. Some of the changes that occured you might have already noticed. For one the book is bigger in size and there are fewer number of pages. Where did those pages go. ' ' In the supplement. Time unravels many surprises and one is that we discovered a supplement from as far back as 1966. As you turn the pages you might have stumbled over the Table of Contents, one which has not been in the yearbook for quite a while. When we sent in our color section (Theme and STAFF EDITORS EDITOR IN CHIEF-Robin COPY EDITOR-Liz THEME EDITOR-Fontaine SENIOR EDITOR-Sta UNDERCLASS EDITOR-Amy BUS. MANAGER-Chris ART EDITOR-David M.

Seniors) late, of course, we were surprised to hear that the yearbook company, Herff Jones, was so impressed with those first pages that they wanted to print 50 extra books as example books around the country. This made us want to live up to that reputation and make the rest as good as those first few pages. In the Senior Section we put quotes under the pictures and in each section we wanted to add something special. We used the computer program, a system of which only an elite 5% nationally use. This program helped tremendously. I would like to thank the following for their outstanding work this year. These people put in a tremendous amount of overtime and they deserve a free yearbook and more credit than I could ever give them: SHANA BAGLEY: To someone who entered the class with no knowledge of the makings of a yearbook. Considering with what you had to work with, I give you a standing ovation. CHRIS BATTLE: Well Mr. Business Manager , even though you always came in late from going out to get something to eat, you did a mahvalous job, dahling. JIM GILLEPSIE: Our happen ' n yearbook representative, Thank you for giving us support throughout the year. DAVE MAGLIOCCO: You can call this book the Dave Magliocco Yearbook . After all you filled all our white space with your artwork! Too bad we don ' t get free yearbooks. The cover looks great! Thanks for all your hard work and having to listen to everyones ideas. AMY MCGRATH: Not too bad for a beginner. Thanks for helping me in times of trouble and for all the overtime you put in. ANASTASIA MEDRANO: Who went way beyond the call of duty. What would I have done without your ability to fill in copy blocks. Thank you for staying with me and the others on those late nights during deadlines. MR. MILLS: Well It looks like it ' s coming together. We did it! Thank you for helping me in times of decisions and handling deadlines. Best of luck next year. MICHAEL RIETH: Our very own computer whiz. What would we have done with out your expertise. Oh, about those mistakes that YOU made and I found, well I won ' t be there next year to catch them. Thank you, you made life a lot easier this year . . . well, most of the time. FONTAINE SEGERQUIST: The only person I know who takes an interest in computer layouts! I don ' t like them, remember. Good luck next year - Ha Ha. PHOTOGRAPHERS: To Victor Escobedo, Dave Giudice, and Ed Rudolph: We need pictures! must be imprinted in your heads by now. Well, even though we hasseled you with all our problems, you always came through. Thank you. To the rest of the staff: I would thank everyone personally, but obviously I can ' t. I enjoyed working with you, even though I got tired of hearing my name. It has been fun, but lets not do it again unless it ' s under different circumstances. To all of you: You all sow a very promising future in the world of yearbook making - good luck to those of you who plan to stay on next year.- This year we set goals to make this year ' s yearbook the best, and although we had out ups and downs, we made it. It has been an experience. I have one more thing to say, and then I ' ll go ... I never want to live through another deadline AGAIN.- ' Uoor teUforshuio ' SEARCHLIGHT STAFF 1 59 KSRH Rocks Marin Rafael was tJfie out of only a few of the (?ountty to have a student-operated radio station.

Somehow we managed to finish this incredible project of putting a yearbook together. For seven months we sorted through endless pictures and went to almost every business in town to find ads. When total frustration and senioritis set in (a deadly combination) we resorted to the class commonly known around here as Sun Tanning 1-2. Robin, the infamous editor, would complain constantly, but this yearbook would have never gotten out on time if it wasn ' t for her hard work and dedication. George Mills would get all excited and get into these little work kicks, especially on the final deadline. Then the big man himself would pay us a visit and for one hour or so would take on the whole yearbook himself We ' re talking about the one and only Jim Gillespie. There are some other people who deserve credit also: Lara Pack, Kristine Wingenbach, and Christine Pappas. Without these three helping me with ads, I would have been up a creek. It ' s amazing how easy old men will buy an ad when persuaded by three beautiful girls. Other thanks go to Sta Medrano, Amy McGrath, Charene Franklin, Victor Escobedo, Mia Bernt, EUie Baldwin, Julie Westholder, Erika Masak, and the computer man himself Mike (the wannabe genius) Reith.
