A-12 MEE htt 1986—A LIMITED EDITION Sandy business center shifts toward west In 1986 Sandy's population totalled 3,910. In the recent past, it was possible to drive to the west side of Sandy and the only building standing was Janz Berryland. Today that area is dotted with -fast -food restaruants, a car wash, and a 'mini' shopping center. When Bowman's Thriftway made the move to the west end of town, many other businesses popped up to help -form Sandy Marketplace. Another grocery store, Safeway, moved into the space previously occupied by Janz. In turn, Janz moved to the east side o-f the town . An old landnark o-f the main section o-f town, Sandy Rexall, went out o-f business, and its space was occupied by a video store. Five years ago the main business area o-f Sandy was the center o-f town. By 1986, the business area seemed to be moving closer to Gresham. One reason was cited as being better locations on the west end o-f town because more traffic flowed through that area in both directions. With the advent of more businesses in Sandy, the overall bus i ness climate seems to have improved and Sandy's economy seems to have taken a jump up. People who used to shop in Gresham are finding themselves shopping closer to home because of the new convenience. More hous i ng developments have been established within the town in the last 5 years. The Industrial Park has brought in new businesses, thus bringing more jobs to the people of Sandy. With all of the incoming businesses and people, the once smal1 town has had to increase its traffic lights to help control the traffic flow. At the start of 1986, Sandy had 5 traffic 1ights. With the booming economy, the question that lurks in the background of many minds is, what will become of Sandy in the next 30 years? Mill San dy and Gresham become connected by more traffic 1ights and business? One can only shake one's head in wonder as the possibility does exist. 12

 feofk B-13 J Volume 54 MEE MA 1986-A LIMITED EDITION Section B Senioritis epidemic spreads at SUHS Sen i or i t i s...what is it? Every senior has gone through it. It i s a probi em wh i ch affects thinking. Sen ior i t i s is when 1 don't know is the answer to any of the following questions: What do you want to do with your 1i fe? Are you going to college? Where do you th i nk you will be in the next five years. Senioritis is a disease which includes many mixed emotions. Some seniors feel frightened when they think about being on their own. Others feel reli eved that they will finally be out of high school and into the ‘real worId. Regular doctors cannot cure senioritis, but there are people who can supply pal 1i at ive medicines. College representatives from Oregon' s colleges came to Sandy to inform both juniors and seniors about the opportunities available to them in the state. Students learned everything they could possibly want to know about the colleges that they were interested in. One brave senior even managed to ask that important questions, Uhat about coed dorms? In addi t i on, representatives were available at a meeting for students to find out about financial aid. It was a relief for some students who wanted 1 1, to attend college, but who thought they couldn't afford it. After this meeting, seniors filled out form after form trying to qualify for loans, grants and scholarships. Perhaps one of the most important aspects of senioritis is the price it costs. Seniors need some of that green stuff for everyth ino: senior pictures, caps and gowns, graduation announcements, new graduation clothes... And, yes, they even have to pay to apply to colleges that might not even accept them. And then there are those SAT tests...who ever heard of paying to take a test? Of course, senioritis presents many local symptoms too: Cramming for that economics exam, staying up until 4 am trying to finish that Civics project, making an appointment with Mr. Calhoun to be sure that even if you fa i 1 Popu1ar Fiction you have enough English credits to graduate, and double-checking your number of absences with every teacher to be assured of gett ing credi t. Yes, senioritis roan ifests itself within every senior in one way or another. But somehow, when that cap gets thrown into the air, and when ■Pomp and Circumstance plays for the last time, all of the symptoms seem to disappear forever. --------------------- II m Inside... THE MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF '86 WERE GIVEN A SURVEY WHICH ASKED THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS: WttVT IS YOUR BIGGEST PET PEEVE? W1 VT fWIhttL WOULD YOU USE TO DESCRIBE YOURSELF? IF YOU WERE ON A DESERTED ISLAND WHO WOULD YOU WANT TO BE STRANDED WITH YOU? HOW WOULD YOU CELEBRATE YOUR BIRTHDAY IF YOU COULD DO WHATEVER YOU WANTED? WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SAYING? SOME OF THE SENIORS' RESPONSES KWVE BEEN PRINTED THROUGHOUT THE SENIOR SECTION FOR YOUR AMUSEMENT, ENJOYMENT AND CONTEMPLATION. THE SYMPTOMS OF SENIORITIS begin to show in Mr. Welsh's 8th period College Credit English class. V 13
