CONTENTS I iMWTiifetHAlgMiKiliJISf Diversity It ' s a fact of life that everyone is different. S.R.H.S. students are no exception. How can one explain the differentiating factors that give our school its diverse appearance? While on the surface our differences are obvious through our styles, speech and actions, they go deeper than that. Spending seven hours a day with the same people for four years, one would come to expect that we know practi- cally everything about one another. The truth is, while we share many experiences with our fellow students, we actually know very little about each other. Looking through an old yearbook, can we truly see the real people behind the old photographs.- ' Do we really know these people. ' ' To completely recognize and understand our school ' s diversity, we must take a closer look at our most important aspect . . . ourselves. 1. . . . You put yer right foot out . . . And you shake it all about! Kirk Martin expresses his true dancing talent. hen I said I ' d eat my glasses if we made that shot ... I (as only kidding! -Vernon Philpot and Micheal Thomsett 3.

Working on his Porsche Q ' l-l Turbo is Eugene Burford. r« In Class San Rafael High doesn ' t look very differ- ent at first glance, but after taking a closer look people agree that our school is quite unique. - The drama class put aside their rivalry with Terra Linda High and staged the musical THE BELLS ARE RINGING as a joint ef- fort, with outside coach Greg Phillips. - Looking closer at our Industrial Arts depart- ment shows Mr. Costello, Auto Shop instruc- tor, driving a fully restored red 1947 Chevro- let Coupe. - In the main hall, the art classes kept an ever changing display of their most promising stu- dent ' s work for all to see.

Neat huh? -Jason Cheu The Senior Tree from where the Class of •  ]«■ ' ' 7 ruled. The cafeteria where they served food . These are both a part of the S.R.H.S. campus, but looking closer one discovers that it was nothing but the people that made our campus special. At lunch some people caught up on the latest gossip while stuffing thier lunches into their mouths. Others sat in the library cramming for the test that would either save or ruin their grade. Still others vegetated in the sun, allowing their minds to wander to the wonderful tunes of KSRH. These scenes were normal happenings of our campus. Surrounded by friends, we were sure that even though we were getting an F in Physics, campus life would steadily go on. And it did. THEME 7 f Vj. r.

In excel- lence there are many degrees. -CICERO The Social Side This year ' s Senior class was the epitome of the social butterfly . They were the conversation giants of the ' 80 ' s, especially during class. Setting the scene of what was cool and what was not, no Senior ever had to ask, Hey, what ' s going on tonight? They knew. Partying together, working together, they could always count on each other for the serious and the fun times. The Seniors were social and they were cool, but most of all they were friends.

' ' Yes, it ' s sad but true, this was the studious side of the class of ' 87. That ' s not to say this class has had a below average academic status, but quite the contrary. Despite these efforts of procrastination in all things academic, this year ' s Seniors continued to produce excellence. Hard work and dedication were not new to ' 87 ' s Seniors, it was obvious to everyone that this class would go far. Believe it or not for all the partying, soap opera watching and other endless amusements this class has something to be proud of, a promising future.

HOMECOMING WEEK AND RALLY 37 HOMECOMiriQ PARADE- Homecoming was an extravaganza to remem- ber with spirit engulfing tiie streets of San Ra- fael; red and white colored the vicinity of San Rafael High. Talented bulldogs romped and danced onto Miller Field where the parde judg- ing commenced. The crowd hummed with anticipation of the upcoming events. Children laughed, bulldogs barked, and Nando paced anxiously. The junior class sat ostentatiously confident of their victori- ous float. Michele J. Ruffino enthusiastically joined the cheerleaders in their vigorous efforts to spread spirit awareness. Then all eyes turned to the snack bar. There standing guiltily was Julie Smith, caught purchasing pom pons from a money raising cheerleader. Julie was quoted as saying, I want to be a cheerleader too. Just like that vivacious girl, Michele J. Ruffino. Toward the end of the parade the traditional alumni float came roling on in. The junior class lived up to their creative reputation by building another phenomenal float, depicting the Drake Pirates on a sinking ship. The judges collaborated and the general consen- sus was the Junior Class rips. Yes, they won. PICTURE TWO 1.

A Winning Combination Not quite as rich as Prince Charles and Prin- cess Di, but just as good. The Royal Couple of 1987 is the classiest yet, representing San Rafael with true dignity. But the red carpet treatment was hard won; a veritable battle of extra-curicu- lar activities and GPA ' S. Combining their forces, Debbie Bush and Bob Contini have participated in: student government, athletics, spiritleading, clubs and possess an incredible amount of brain power. The king and queen are just one symbol of pride for San Rafael High. ' We were both very surprised! says King Bob Contini and Queen Debbie Bush, smiling sweetly. THE ROYAL COURT 41 All Night Long 1. Mike Farias manages to keep the beat of the blues while he plays in the band Vagabondieren. As the year rolled around, so did the tradi- tional Red and White Cavalcade . The show was performed of December 4th and 5th and had a number of individual MCs; including Scott Winner, Dave Gershick, Miguel Esco- bedo, and, of course, Tom Truchan. This year ' s talent ws truly widespread, ranging from fast moving dance numbers, singers, humorous Monty Python skits, seri- ous musicians, and some not-so-serious musi- cians. One act that really got the audience into the show was Brynda C. Foster and some of her students. Victor Graham, Jeff Royle, John Scocca, and David Lange, along with Brynda C. Foster, sang and played a wonder- ful rendition of the Beatles ' Yellow Subma- rine . Victor Escobedo, a graduate from the class of ' 86, returned to help MC the show. Victor did his, now famous, Numbers for the lucky spectators. The first performance of the Cavalcade was a rough one, with the show lasting a good three and a half hours! Along with the individual acts that made up the Cavalcade, Tom Truchan, the show ' s organizer, man- aged to refine the show and speed up its production. Their hard work payed off with a superb second performance the following night. Each year the faculty has surprised audi- ences with original and extremely funny skits, and this year was no exception. The act was titled Ballet Bizarro and with good reason. Nando Llacuna displayed his true dancing ability along with his partner Sue Ann Joy. The thing that singled this couple out was that Mr. Llacuna wore the blue tu-tu, while Mrs. Joy presented herself in a mans style shirt with fake glasses and a fake nose. The overall outcome of the show was con- sidered a huge success, with the performers raising over $1400 for the SRHS Creative Arts Committee. Those who missed the show, missed a lot. PICTURE TWO 2.

This year ' s production of Inherit the Wind was one such show, with a full house every night. A fresh approach was used by the direc- tor in having certain members of the audi- ence play jury members. This proved to be a different way of keeping the audience involved with the action.

It was, of course a big success, not only for the students who attended it but for the ASB General Fund. Couples dressed up in their finest out- fits with several renting chauffeur driven limos. The dance was held in a lively deco- rated gym with silver and white balloons setting the scene. The students were enter- tained by the group X-Static.

' 46 WINTER FORMAL King Festival On Jan. 9,1987, students from all over Marin County joined together at the Civic Center to pay tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr. Students from SR, as part of the show, demonstrated what the messages of MLK meant to them. The audience was moved by a realistic monologue done by Tracy Fitt. Her portrayal of a black student in the South brought tears to the eyes of several people. The celebration ended with a walk around the lake to remember the original walk led by MLK. Let ' s not forget why we celebrate this great man ' s birthday. PICTLRE THREE 3.

With an overwhelming number of talent- ed students auditioning for the same parts, Greg Phillips found it hard to turn any one of them down. Being the Director of Youth Ac- tivities for the Marin Symphony Association and having several smash hits accredited to his name, the act of making the show a double- casted production was nothing Greg couldn ' t handle. The production staff had some new faces than from the previous years, with EUie Med- nick, their wonderful Choreographer and Bob Calonico, the Music Director for Terra Linda. Byron Jones, a retired teacher from San Rafael, came back once again to be the ' Voice Coach to the singers. He did an unforgettable job with all the students. With the majority of the lead characters be- ing played by different actors and actresses, each show was as individual as the next. No one could predict the shows ' outcome. All in all, the show was truly one to be remembered. The cast enjoyed its chance to get to know each other. New friendships were formed throughout the long, but fun rehears- als.

He leaves the comforts of his warm home at 6:20 in the morning, to drive across the bridge, and face a class that the students themselves are wonder- ing why they got up for such an early event. Orchestra is the class for people who want an early day, and are eager to play in a music class, but can ' t fit it into their schedule. Yawning and stretching, the class miraculously comes alive, filling the entire building with their moving tun- es,and no-one but themselves to enthrall and enjoy the classic melodies. Concert Band is the next class in line for the day, giving people a chance to play an instrument at a decent hour. Jazz Ensemble, (the real name of the class), is for the student who likes fast moving, and dancable tunes. Choir is the one and only class in the music department that doesn ' t require the person to play a musical instrument. 1. How long does he want me to hold this!.- - Betnardi, 2.

Exploring the bunkers on the Mann Headlands is a fun change from your usual movie weekend. These bunkers range from tall towers to houses and underground tunnels. Most are open to the public so you can freely poke around them. Some doors are metal covered, bolted, and reinforced. This is mainly to keep people out, but there is always some- one who will find a way in. If one just wants a quiet place to go, there is a beach below and grass all around. Rediscover- ing the bunkers can make a quiet and beautiful weekend hangout. PICTURE SIX WEEKEND LIFE 53 c R E A T I V I T Y PICTURE TWO PICTURE ONE 1. Sybil Chapman 2.

Although he didn ' t seem to know it, he brought warmth into the lives of many people with his off-beat sense of humor and his quick smile. Underneath all that, Adrian was deeply sensitive. There are some things that per- haps we will never know about him, but we will always have Adrian ' s music, the product of his inner emotions, to remind us of him. Adrian lived through his music.To his piano and guitar he told his secrets, and creating haunting and unforgettable melodies. Forever more, music will be more than just music to us. Forever more, the name Adrian will be more than just a name to us. It will be a word signifying all of the precious things that Adrian was. We must now dedicate ourselves to reaching out to others, to pushing away loneliness, so that no one need write sad songs. And each time we touch a soul, we will be letting Adrian know that he is not alone anymore. We are forever with him. PICTURE THREE 54 CREATIVITY PICTl ' RE ONE Dedicated to Joey Ciatti R.I. P.

They need a test pilot for the trial run and are offering an A to any student willing to go up. You really need that A because your mom has promised you that convertable rabbit that you want so badly. You reluctantly take the test that will qualify you to be on board the ship. After thinking about it you realize that you really don ' t want to go up. So during the day of the test you goof off and make patterns with your answers on the scan-tron sheet. The next day you casually stroll by the result sheet and find that you were chosen. While still in shock you are congratulated and asked, Who would you like to have go up with you. ' ' The trip will be three weeks long. Unfortunately your ship did not tly for the predetermined time span. You crash land on a deserted island. It is a seemingly island paradise, but you are stuck there. Thankfully you have your companion and neither of you were hurt. While looking over the island you find a dusty bottle which when rubbed frees a genie. You are granted three wishes. You automatically waste two on luxuries, a feast and a 1987 Ferrari. What will you third wish be? You ' ve been informed that your wish can only move you 50 ft. So now you ' ve been on this island for almost a year now. You have not much with you except for your companion and the products of your wishes. The island has provided you with food and will most probably continue to do so as long as you continue to live there. While sunbathing one day your companion notices a ship on the horizon. You thank God rush out to the launch sent out by the ship. You are greeted in Russian. You try to explain that you want to get back to America, they don ' t seem to understand. After a thoughtful moment you inform your companion that you have no idea where you are. If you ask the Russians to take you back with them, there is a possible chance of never reaching the States. Now the big question, do you go with the Russians or do you stay on the island. ' Mindy Buocristiani looks disgusted as she slowly turns around. SOPHOMORES SOMEWHERE ELSE Silvia Alas Sandra H.

One of my friends that I was working with was going away that year. I thought it must be fun to try something new, so I appUed for the next year. Because then I would be done with 2 years of business college. (The business college I went to was only for 2 years.) So it was a good time for me to do it. Everything was great. You Americans are a lot different from us Norwegian, you are a lot more loud than Norwegians. Most Norwegians are boring and shy. I live in a place called Stavanger with 200,000 people. My greatest hobby is skiing. In Norway I am a ski instructor. The place where my friends and I ski is an hour and a half of driving from my place. I hope I will be able to swim on the school team because I like swimming. -PAUL ALBERTSEN Coming to the United States was a good ex perience for me. Hopefully, I ' ve improved m English and learned a lot about this country, fc example about all the differences between Gei many and the U.S. Because of all these diffei ences I had some difficulties adjusting to a ne ' way of life during the first time, but it came ou quite well. Also, all the people, especially m classmates, were very nice and friendly, the helped me alot especially during the first coupl days and weeks. The thing I liked most at San Rafael High wa that there was so much more spirit than at m school at home. School in Germany is reall boring, you just go there to learn. Well, I er joyed the 4 months while I was here, and I hope can come back in the future. For the kids who didn ' t get to know me, I wa born in Germany and live there. My brother is 1 and my sister is 6. My hobbies are sailing, volley ball, tennis (but I ' m not very good at it) am building remote control planes and let them fl; -SVEN HOWEl 96 EXCHANGE STUDENTS The Experience Of a Lifetime San Rafael High School had welcomed me with open-arms, something that I never expect- ed. I was elated at how well the many different cultures could mix and relate. Although my aca- demic year here was less than challenging, I en- joyed many new experiences. Some of these experiences have given me new insights into American culture as one can never really learn about a differnt lifestyle before emersing themselves into it fully. San Rafael High School did a great job of welcoming us (the exchange students) into the system. -RAQUEL GONZALEZ When I came to California about four months ago, it was as if entering an entirely new world — I wouldn ' t have guessed how different the United States was from Europe. Everything was new and exciting e.g. I could have spent all day just watching people or the cars on the highway. San Rafael High School also was a new experience for me: I noticed a lot of differences in the attitudes teachers had to- wards their students and in what was expected from you as a student. As a result of the different school system, I feel that America high schools help you to get a positive attutude and let you feel that you can succeed in life, where as E uro- pean schools can be a very frusterating exper- ience. There were a lot of acitivities going on in American school and, to me, San Rafael High was more like a fun place than like an academic institution. Students and teachers here are a lot more spirited! I grew up in a small town in Northern Ger- many and there were hadly any foreigners— only Germans and a couple of Danes. 1 really enjoyed the international atmosphere at S.R.H.S. Thanks for giving me a good time. -ITA BRONNAMANN EXCHANGE STUDENTS 97 ' ' °« te-ir 8i(eMBi M .

VARSnr FOOTBALL 101 Hanging Tough From the opening game and through the trag- ic death of a truly outstanding friend and a great teammate, Joey Ciatti, the 1986 San Rafael Junior Varsity Bulldogs fought through a tough, emo- tionally draining season. The Dawgs pushed to finish the season at 4-4-1. Although the losses hurt, the team savored each win to its fullest. The Bulldogs received outstanding perfor- mances from many players. Quarterback Milt Hymes tried his best to improve his team. Run- ning back Aaron Lofrano fell just 22 short of 1000 yards rushing for the season. The offense was anchored by center Greg Bentley. The Bull- dog D was led by linebackers Mark Edwards and Rafael Sakellariou, and the opposing quar- terbacks were never treated kindly by defensive linemen Mario Cavagnola, Ted Kurkov, and Mark Paz. Place kicker Zack Nelson booted many a crucial kick for the Dawgs. Only T.A. Romo, Justin Johnston, Aaron Lo- frano, and Mark Paz received injuries during the season. All overcame and finished the season with gusto. All in all, 1986 was a year that most of us will not forget. We had fun, even on Mondays . . . -Todd Keffury and Ben Bauer. PR H HI. ONI, Back Row: K.

FRESHMEN FOOTBALL 103 Side Out Game Point For the Varsity Volleyball team, the first day of school also meant the beginning of practice. With practically every player returning from a season of Junior League Volleyball, the team looked strong and ready for their upcoming sea- son. Early on in their pre-season games, the team won the Finer Tournament that hosted several good teams. Their season started slow for the Lady Bulldogs with some close and contraversal matches. After breaking their losing streak, the team members worked together to prove that they were a team to be taken seriously. This year the team was finally able to say that they defeated the T. L. team. The game was close until Tracey Tipping, one of the teams captains, served eight straight points to shoot them to a victory. The Lady Bulldogs ended with a (12-4) record and in third place. In the first round of the playoffs, the team had to face their T.L. rivals. Though they tried their hardest, the girls couldn ' t pull off another victory over T.L. Krista Wuertz was named first team all- league, Tracey Tipping and Fontaine Segerquist were named second team all-league, and Rosie Tuatagaloa received honorable mention.

There was a lack of experience with only two returning players from last year ' s team, Paula March and Rachel Villa- senor. Exceptional talent was shown in Captain Paula March, Co-captain Stacy New- comer, and Co-captain Rachel Villasenor.

Senior Debbie LaFranchi ( 1 player) and Junior Alison Gourlay ( 4 player) captured the prestigious MCAL Doubles Title, ousting the Redwood Dynasty. They fought hard to win the pennant, but they were finally stopped in the semi-finals of the North Coast Section. Debbie, voted most valuable player, said. Although we lost, maintaining our deteriiiinatiuii in North Coast to defeat our tougher opponents and to stop Redwood was a moral victory in itself. The rest of the team helped San Rafael stay in MCALs. Rosanne Paul fought hard for every point. Barbara Fachini and Beth Barr dualed it out in doubles while Debbie Bush hung tough in singles. The team managed to remain a contender in MCALs throughout a tough season, taking pride in a tennis tradition which they helped build.

This fact was espe- cially impressive because the Bullfrogs were made up of Sophmores and Juniors. Leading the way were Adam Lupa, Dante Ricci, Scott Stewart, David Walther, and Brian Wilbur. Un- fortunately Brian hurt his arm mid-season but turned to coaching a specially formed J.V. team. Toward the end ot the se ason, the team faced it ' s hardest challenge when their coach. Bill Ranney, died of a sudden heart attack. One player said, During those few days, it was like we were a family. There was a feeling of sad- ness that can ' t be explained with words. The team held together and practiced under a new coach, Eric Beal, who many of the players al- ready knew from past acquaintance. The ex- asst. T.L. coach did an impressive job arriving so late in the season and guiding the Bullfrogs through the last few weeks. Overall, the quality of the Waterpolo team made for a commendable performance during the year, although circumstances dictated that their talent would not be reflected in their re- cord. The future looks bright for this San Ra- fael team, so remember to take time for a closer look at them next year. You won ' t be disap- pointed.

The Bulldog team, led by Captains Jody Lodge and Ricky Garner, played a hard-nosed, aggressive style of soccer. They stuck in there with all the competition, and never gave in when things looked grim. The team displayed a great deal of pride and determination while always keeping their Bulldog spirit alive. A good game with the strong Terra Linda team greatly boosted their morale and was a high point in their season. The Bulldog teams ability to utilize the talent of their coach and team members made it a worth- while season. They rallied at challenges from other league teams and put forth an effort that caused the opposing teams to want to rethink their gameplans. PICTIRE TWO 1. fsmg his skilled feet.

The ten new breeds had a lot of help from the nine experienced members of the team. Since there was such a large turnout of girls this year, the J. V. team was divided into two teams. The girls ' team, the polywogs, played during the regular J. V. games, sometimes against the boys ' teams, and occasionally against the more brutal girls ' teams of some schools. The only two experienced girls, Elise Olmsted and Tracy Moss, led the team at the beginning of the sea- son, but the other girls soon learned to play well. This year gave the girls ' team a lot of good, needed, experience for the future. The boys ' team, led by Brian Chatard and Pat O ' Donoghou, did well. This team, composed of sophomores and juniors, learned quite a bit about waterpolo and teamwork while enjoying themselves. This year provided them with the experience needed to play on a varsity team. 1. Exchange student Sven Hower skillfully defends the San Ra- fael goal, 2.

Our Girls Varsity was the jewel in the MCAL crown, winning the pennant by a large margin over Redwood our nearest competitior. Coming in first at the Redwood Empire Cham- pionship and 9th at North Coast (M.O.C.) was the sweetest icing that could ever top a cake. The frosh-Soph guys ignited hope for the future, finishing in 2nd place with a record of 6- 1. They are expected to rejuvenate the ailing Varsity Boys Team which finished the season 1-6. In spite of all the new found glory, the Bull- dog Team remained faithful to the precepts which gained it success. Workouts, for the most part, were done willingly (except on Mondays) . We knew they were our key to a chanpionship team. After each victory, the atti- tude was, Let ' s not get cocky — take one meet at a time. We were willing to do our best whether we got laurels or not. Thus the laurels were that much more gratifying. The most important factor, though, were the friendships formed. The long drives in The Van after meets singing air-blues with muddy waters brought us all together. The guarenteed formula of success was listening to 12 reruns of Roxanne before a meet. A weekly frisbee game never failed to lighten our hearts and heels. The sense of spirit and victory made this 1986 season very memorable. By Kathy Troyan W 4 -i ■ ' .. ' ' ' ' . -. r- PICTURE TWO 1.

CROSS COUm ' RY 115 MCAL CHAMPS First Title in 1 3 Years The Varsity won the MCAL Championship for the first time since 1974, exceeeding all expectations. The team took pride in their ability to win the close games. Coming through in the clutch, they won numerous games in the waining moments by less than five points. The team was a tightly knit crew that always seemed to gel when things were tough. This was a banner year for the basketball program. As proof, for the first time in seven years the pennant was hanging someplace other than Drake. In the initial tournament at Jefferson High, they won by beating three traditionally strong city teams. The San Francisco Examiner ranked the Bulldogs seventh in the Bary Area. After a rough spot in the middle of preseason play, the team peaked and won twelve straight during MCAL play. The team was 1 in MCAL and ranked 6 in the state for Division 2A Schools by Cal Hi-Sports . No other San Rafael basketball team has been so highly touted. The team ' s nucleus was stong with four returning lettermen; Bill Archer, leading scorer; Drew Miller, best defensive player; Andrew Fedeli, leading rebounder; and junior Bob Aldridge. Fresh faces up from the J.V. made the team one of the most balanced teams to play in the MCAL. Contibuting greatly to the team were; seniors; Angus McClure, John Fitt, Rob Doherty, Justin Rinefort, Bill Keene, and juniors; Joe Ford and Mike Mannion.

Through the years the team has gotten bigger and a lot better. With only two returning Varsity team members, the team consisted of mostly good but inexperienced wrestlers. New coach Larry Lack helped the team get that experience that was needed to have a winning season. He taught them that strength wasn ' t that impor- tant just as long as one had balance.

Other team members to keep an eye out for are Carlos Escobedo, Rafael Sakellar- iou, Ryan O ' Donnell, Greg Burgess, Mark Paz, Dave Moses, John Matocq, Dean Cle- ments, and Geoff ReviU.

My love for horses has grown since the age of 5. My father had told me of his past experiences with horses and he greatly influenced me to break into the horse world. I started at the bottom, working for lessons and a chance to ride. Gradually, as my experience grew, my parents felt that I would be responsible enough to handle a horse of my own. My first horse meant more to me than anything; he was my best friend and teacher. His name was Sugar Reed III and we competed together in western horse shows. Together we went as far as we could and. although I didn ' t want to, I finally had to sell him. My next horse was a complete surprise, he was the first horse I looked at and it was love at first sight. He was two years old when we bought him and I will always think of him as my little baby . I ' ve grown a lot and so has my horse. Wild Scorpion. I ' ve worked for a horse trainer for many years now and have gained the kind of experience you can ' t buy. I compete with Scor- pion in cutting (a competition where your horse is judged on how well he can keep one cow separated from the herd). My future hopes are to take the horse with me to college, but I haven ' t discussed that with my parents yet. No matter what happens, I will always cherish the memories horses have given me. Peter Brandelius works at his skateboarding techniques. My name is Lynetta Rae Simmons. I am an orange belt right now, and will prob- ably be a purple belt by the time the year- book comes out. I have mastered a series of techniques (defensive movements that enable you to free yourself from an at- tack), rolls, falls, blocks, punches, stances, and kicks. I have also learned two katas (pre-arranged imaginary fighting se- quences). I have only studied for a short period of time, but I like what I am doing and hope to be an instructor someday as part-time work. 126 OUT OF SCHOOL SPORTS Hi! I ' m Dian bbott.

I study ballet, tap, jazz, and mod- ern dance. I ' ve been dancing since I was three years old, but I didn ' t get into it seriously or fulltime until I was twelve. I ' ve done shows in: Carson City, Reno, Lake Tahoe, and Las Vegas, Ne- vada; on a Carribean cruise with June Ally- son and Andrea Mcardle (who was the original Annie ), and most recently with the Marin Ballet in both Nutcracker ' 85 and ' 86 , Celebration ' 86 and numerous Footlights productions. I also danced in last years Red and White Calvacade . I ' ve received various awards for danc- ing, from awards of excellence and achievement in school and summer work- shop awards to the achievement of hon- ors on a Royal Academy of Dance Exam. I also enjoy acting and singing and I plan to go to college and major in theatre arts drama. I ' d like to be on Broadway and perform on a cruise ship, and some- day III be extremely successful and filthy rich, hopefully soonl For now my main goals are to get better grades, continue dancing and just enjoy living in California.

Behind the Scenes Part of the enjoyment of football ames tor many people, was the enthu- siastic spiritleaders cheering to the crowd from the sidelines. The spiritleaders worked hard to boost the spirit and morale of the school, the audience, and most impor- tantly the team. The girls put in many hours of indi- vidual practice, as well as practicing together. All their effort and practice showed in the quality ot their perfor- mances. There were times when you saw the girls practicing until after the football team had finished their practice. They had a lot of dedication and pride in what they did, and it definitely showed in their work. Top Row -Jeanne Schweitzer. Middle i Spranger. Missing - Billie Bentavegna. ■ Shelly Robaids.

The spiritleaders were enjoy- ing themselves so much, and it showed. They spent hours of time practicing together after school, into the night, and on weekends. They gave up a lot of time and energy to do the best that they could for their p erformances. They put a lot of effort into bringing out the crowd ' s enthusiasm. Most importantly though, was their commitment to helping the team do their best. The team appreci- ated them and so did the crowd. This years basket- ball spiritleaders were the best that San Rafael had for years. As the Boys Basketball team moves towards another victory the Flag Girls cheer from the bleachers.

The Academic Decathlon is a team made up of six members who prepare themselves for almost a full year before they take the two tests that will test their academic strength. Our team, however, consisting of Oliver Ewald, Jody Lodge, Joy Schaber, Doug Fi- scher, Tracy Bagely, and Bonnie Johnson took up the challenge of studying three days in advance. With the lack of time that was given to the students their placement in the final standings wouldn ' t seem to be too high, but thanks to Bonnie they came in third place in the Super Quiz, which was a test on the Constitution of the United States. They were a dedicated team who put their all into the Decathlon and they all became good friends after the three day cram session. Though they all turned their minds around to answer the questions, Mr. Stevens helped them come out on top. Back Row: Doug Fischer, Mr. Gordon Stevens, Bonnie Johnson, Joy Shaber, Oliver Ewald.

The Constant Strive for Success Being a member of the California Scholarship Federation is something that every student works hard for and many accomplish that goal. Being a member in CSF is a constant strive, because every student can agree that it ' s hard to keep up those perfect grades. Members provided volunteer tutoring at lunch time for anyone who was seeking that extra edge. The members also provided tutoring after school for small fees. A banquet honoring high-achievers was held at the end of the year for the members of CSF. The culmination of club activities was the field trip in May -a welcome break! In all, being a member of CSF can be a very productive, rewarding, and fun experience, not to mention the scholarships one can receive!

The members went to French movies, a production of The Little Prince , raised money to buy Thanksgiving Dinners for St. Anth- ony ' s Dining Room, and sang songs at convalecsent hos- pitals for Christmas, Valentine ' s Day, and Easter. The members were always willing to give up some of their free time to help the people around them. The year ended with the traditional International Dinner, a pot-luck dinner with all three language clubs. All in all, it was a great year. PICTURE ONE Back row: Mme.

The annual Clean-a-thon was a fun success that cleaned the city as well as earning money for the club. The chocolate sales and the first Bowl-a-Thon also helped to unite these individ- uals into the closely knit Paris-Quebec Club of San Rafael High.

MARK HOL- LOMAN Close Up is a nation wide program for students to exper- ience the U.S. governmental system firsthand. Students from all over the U.S. come to Washington D.C. to discuss, and exchange ideas on local and international issues. The students see their government in action by attending seminars, workshops, and taking excursions to Capitol Hill, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, and many other govern- mental buildings. This led to the ignitement of political interest, also it makes people more aware of what their country is all about. We also saw the motley of people that make up Washington such as George Shultz, senators, everyday people, and even some of Washington ' s homeless. A diversity of people and cultures make-up the people who attend Close Up so it is a great chance to learn about different people and make good friends. PICTIRF. THREE 1.

This past year, for the Homecoming Parade, the Drama Club did scenes from the musical Peter Pan - by building a pirate ' s ship float, dressing up in costumes and performing with music and lights. We also sponsored the Halloween Costume Contest and produced An Evening of One-Act Plays, in which students took to the stage in performing comedy acts . Our fund raisers have included delivering Valentine ' s Day flowers, and selling refreshments at the musical and fall play.

MAL ' REEN MOCO AND BETS1 ' ROBERTS This has been the third year and by far the most successful of F.A.C.T.S. We started the year off with an outrageous tie- dve tailgaiting party which as a result produced our 1986-87 official t-shirts. This was a change from our famous sporty shirt, but it was only a sign of our members fun-loving and open-minded personalities. Of course the homecoming pa- rade was one of the highlights among our many tailgaiting adventures. The future of F.A.C.T.S. is looking bright. With many new and enthusiastic members we are hoping to branch out to other Marin Schools in the near future. S.R. Block Vs jocks want an association co call our own. - PRES. TONY .MARKWICK AM) ANGUS MCCI.IRE The San Rafael Block Letterman s CJub was an organi- zational entity of its own in the 1986-1987 school ear. Brought back to prominence after a five year layoff. Run- ning in rigid competition with the women of RaRavas. S.R. Block, with advisor Ed Cunningham, stood on its own. being one of the main sponsoring supporters of the spring turnabout and relating events. The pride of the club though was its non-biased nature. Adopting an open-door policy at meetings. S.R. Block welcomed the membership of any male letterman. whether he be a tennis player, swimmer, waterpolo player, or even a football player. It ' s this kind of non-discriminatory men- tality the club will strive to hold to ensure the organiza- tion ' s success. Top Row: Mark Holloman. Chet Sphar, Steve Pierre-Louis. Matt Warren.

Q. GOT IT? ' -EDI- TOR FONTAINE SEGERQUIST The day that I officially found out that I would be the Editor for this book I began to panic because my mind was a total blank. Every creative idea that I had went into last year ' s book. Luckily, when I returned from Yearbook West, a great camp for us yearbookers, I had the entire book in my mind. Jvly biggest task was trying to relay my ideas down to my little work- er bees . Slowly, from that great Herff Jones crossword puzzle to the constant instructions, the staff progressed. I can truly sympathize with them because I remember not understanding a single word that Mr. Mills had said last year. It ' s really hard to describe the feeling I got when I saw people really working hard to finish their pages. It showed me that they really wanted to have a great book. I could tell by the looks on their faces that they were pleased to see their work done because when the proofs came back they all kept saying to me, ' Hey, that came out great, ' or ' So that ' s what you meant, Fontaine. ' One thing, I can easily agree with last year ' s editor, is that I never want to hear my name said out loud again. I always enjoy helping someone out on his her layout, but not when five people all desperately needed my help at the same exact time. It got a bit hectic. Thinking back to all the long hours after school, even the couple of days over ' Winter ' Vacation, I don ' t see how we ever managed. I, personally, owe those special nighttime radio guys, and they know who they are, for constantly feeding me throughout the nights. How they ever managed to put up with all my scrounging around for food I ' ll never know, but I thank them! Everybody on the staff deserves a special thanks from me because if it wasn ' t for them I would have been in here an awfully long time, ANNE MCCARTHY : You always gave a help- ing hand when I needed one the most. Let ' s not ever have to spend another night checking over photos, even though some of them did look pretty funny! ELLIE BALDWIN : It took a lot out of us to make all your people understand that we liked the layouts our way. You ' ve opened my eyes to a lot of things, Ellie. Keep on the lookout for those fourteens, okay? Oh yeah, my name ' s Fon- taine, not Vontaine! SARAH HELLER : I hope you enjoy yourself here next year because I can ' t wait to see what ) ' 0u do to try to top me! I ' m only kidding. Who would have ever thought that little ol ' Sarah would be the next BIG CHEESE . Good Luck. MICHAEL RIETH : Can that be a good photo. ' Well, I guess you took that, right Mike. Honest- ly, without your help at organizing a fantastic photo staff I don ' t know where this book would have gone. I expect to see you shooting photos tor Sports Illus. real soon, maybe even the swim suit edition. MIYA CLARK : Where in the world did you come up with that Faculty section.- ' Even though I only got to see you once or twice a week in class, it was well worth the wait. I want your green dress when you get tired of it, okay. ' ANNETTE MILLS : Even though almost the whole class flaked out when it came to finding you some ads for your pages, you and Michaela did a great job at making them just as stylish as the rest of the book. The position of business manager was a difficult responsibility, and I thank you for taking it when I threw it at you! TIFFANY HORTON : Well, what more can I say, but who are you going to get to help you with your French next year during Yearbook when I graduate? Nice job, but don ' t think that now that I ' m gone you can start making your moves on Jim. I ' ll be watching you! ELISE OLMSTED : Besides wasting all that printing paper on Mr. Wonderful, I have noth- ing but good things to say to you. Oh, I forgot about all the times I had to drive you home, but that ' s okay. too. You put in a lot of your free time into finishing your layouts and that helped out so much. Please sign up next year, they ' re going to need you! LARISSA KOLOBOFF : When I needed some- one to take over the Student Life section you were there waiting with open arms. You put together a wonderful creativity section, and helped whenever I felt like giving up and throw- ing everything away. ' ' ' 2)( A ' Cf ra - 1 .

Seriously though, the paper made many techincal as well as journalistic innovations during the year, sticking to a strict code of ethics while still generating inter- esting copy. Volume 78 ot the Red and White was the foun- dation on which a new breed ot high school journalism will be built.

KSRH was an cxpericnct that I will always cherish. ' -PROGRAM DIRECTOR JODI PINCKNIi ' KSRH is a student-run. non-profit radio station. The stu- dents run the station through patrons and donations. This car KSRH was able to purchase a new transmitter which brought the signal from almost 10 watts to almost 1 ) watts. KSRH can now be heard in stereo! Aside from the technical side of the station, KSRH pro- vided its operators with a sense of family. Everyone helped each other with learning procedures, and the group as a whole was a social group tor those who enjoyed music from man ' different aspects.

A way to provide a series of experiences tor students to increase awareness and appreciation of music, drama, and art performed by their fellow students as well as professionals was their goal this year. The annual fundraiser was the Red and White Cavalcade which involved staff as well as student talent. Also this year many other special presentations by the Yoplait Mime, String Cortet and man other talented quests. 166 SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL CREATIVE ARTS COMMITTEE A.S.B Changes in this years A.S.B. com- pared to past cabinets have been phenomenal. It ' s been a delight to work with a group of individuals so dedicated to bettering what ' s al- ready been. - PRF.S. TONY MARKWICK The 1986-87 A.S.B. cabinet will go down in the almanac as the one who began to turn the tide in SRHS student government. This past year saw many changes occur in policy, goals, and actions within the A.S.B. and the results plainly speak for themselves. The spark for this revolution came in the presence of new principal and cabinet advisor Mr. Nando Llacuna. With Mr. I. lacuna ' s guidance and support, such unheard of events like a free, outdoor, tirst-week-ot-school dance was possible. Fur- ther innovations came later in the year with the A.S.B pur- chase of a sophisticated, $3,500 sound system, making it possible to accommodate our own school dances, and related events, as well as furnishing public address and music for home basketball games.

The year of 1986 not only come- morated our nation ' s 210th anniver- sary, it was also the year of Our Lady of Liberty ' s 100th birthday. The 30 million dollar celebration extravaganza came complete with 400 Elvis impersonators and a fire- works display large enough to sta- bilize that industry for years to come. The Statue of Liberty has long been a symbol of American free- dom to all those who approach our shores. The Statue, like any other 100 year old welcoming party, was showing some signs of wear. The Statue ' s restoration was a joint ef- fort between French and American engineers, costing well over 40 mil- lion dollars. — by Annette Mills and Michaela Cummings Year ' s Top Movie - Top Gun Cross Country Title One September day a few years back, three sophomores were warming up for their first cross- country practice. One wistfully broke the silence, could you imag- ine winning the pennant our senior year.- A distant dream at the time, since there hadn ' t even been a com- plete team for years. Anyway, the thought remained at the front of their heads during that practice, the next summer, and the next year. In November of 1986, Carolyn Hig- gins, Mary Mankin, and Kathy Troyan (now seniors) joined up with Carolina Allen (a sophomore) and Sandy Deasy (a junior) to walk all over the defending league cham- pions, and take the MCAL and North Coast Section champion- ships for the first time in history. The Brown Blue pennants that now grace the gym wall will forever remind us of the close ties that bound them and their coaches Jim Meyers and Ron Newstat. The hard work that they endured, and the glory that was worth all their wait- ing. — by Kathy Troyan and Caroli- na Allen T.V. ' s Couple 174 YEAR IN REVIEW State of the Nation Ronald Reagan would rather have forgotten the winter of 1986, but nobody would let him (though he seemed to forget just about ev- erything else). His presidencey hit the rocks in early December: the Democrats had just re-captured the Senate and the sordid details of the arms-for-hostages deal with Iran had come to light. Things began to heat up, and the former actor began to stumble on his lines. After a few staff shuffles, though, the Gipper was able to right his sinking ship of state. Outside of the Mid-East blun- der, one of the hottest news topics of the year was the much-publicized war on drugs. First Lady Nancy Reagan started her own program to combat this plague, but, despite the rhetoric, she couldn ' t quite con- vince her husband to help the cause with some Federal fundings. Also dominating the headlines was the finishing spread of AIDS into the heterosexual community and the paranoia that followed it. Like the drug problem, though, people saw fit to talk the subject to death, rath- er than concentrating on solving it. The year was full of stories like these, and how the present prob- lems are addressed will determine the course of the nation for years to come.— by Matt Coleman The 50th vs. Senior Ball On May 25, 1937, the construc- tion was completed on one of the greatest, and most beautiful, bridges in the world. Although we usually take the Golden Gate Bridge for granted, several men lost their lives building it, and millions of people come every year, from all over the world, to see it. Considered one of the seven man-made won- ders of the world, its 50th Anniver- sary was definitely a cause for cele- bration, except among the Seniors of San Rafael High. The bridge ' s anniversary celebration date con- flicted with that of the Senior Ball which was to be held in San Fran- sisco. The conflict instigated sever- al class meetings and votes inter- spersed with excessive complain- ing. The problem originated with the proposal to close the bridge from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for a celebra- tion that would go on during that time. The traffic would have been abominable and all restaurants and limos would have been reserved. After much deliberation on the sub- ject, the Seniors finally decided on moving the Ball to one of the op- tional days that was given to them by the Galleria. The new date was then April 24th, and things seemed to finally be over. It would seem that fate was truly against them when, only a few days after the final date switch, it was officially an- nounced that , in fact, the bridge would not be closed as originally thought. Overall, the Golden Gate ' s 50th anniversary was a celebration to look forward to, but it was not worth the troubles it caused con- cerning the Senior Ball. — by Anne McCarthy An Unforgettable Season For the first time since 1974 the Boy ' s Varsity Basketbal team ad- vanced beyond the MCAL playoffs. The hoopsters were surprisingly im- pressive in their North Coast Sec- tion appearance. They advanced easily through these playoffs with wins over Del Norte, the Humboldt League champion, Analy, the Son- oma County League champs, and the MCAL rival Drake. These three wins advanced the ' Dawgs into a title match-up with De Anza, ranked 2 in the state by Cal-Hi Sports. The Bulldog ' s pulled out a nine point win for the NCS Cham- pionship. Two San Rafael athletes recorded recognition for their play in the tournament, named all-tour- ney were Bill Archer and Andrew Fedeli. The team was then seeded sec- ond in the Northern California tournament, playing the first round game against Livingston. They pro- vided easy prey, and a 60-50 victory was the result. The semi-final match-up at the Arco Arena in Sac- ramento, Aptos Fiigh of Santa Cruz proved to be just a little too much for the Bulldog ' s smaller line up. Aptos pulled away during the final minute to refute San Rafael ' s chance at a Northern California Championship. Bill Archer was subsequently rewarded for his fine play with another All-Tournament award. The hoopsters season ended with a 27-8 record, more victories than any previous team in San Ra- fael ' s history, advancing farther than any prior team. — by Bill Ar- cher Hit Performers: Jennittr Losee, Mike Dcdcnan. Phaedra Bell in Iklls arc Ringing YEAR IN REVIEW 175 Tlie tragic deaths of ' Joe Ciattti. Bill Ranney. and Adrian Gutierrez during the school year were unexpected and will never be forgotten. An athe- letic scholarship fund was established in memory of Joe. The tree planted in the main courtyard outside the LA Building will stand in memory of Bill Ranney. Bill, You cared so much about your stu- dents. You were the needle in the hay- stack and will never he forgotten hy the ones you touched. I miss you, Bill! I ' m sorry I never showed you I could achieve in my studies. You pushed me so much, and now you ' re gone. Now I must do it myself, for there is no person that can take your place. Your memory ivill live within my heart and soul forever. I ' ll never forget the way we used to joke around in class and at practice. It will never he the same when I joke around with others. Rest in peace! — Gavin Moore M ' ,X ■Vh. MHaBMOBBLL:
