Top Five Percent . Hard work, desire, and dedication is what it takes to be in the Top Five Percent and Top Ten Percent. Students who are aca- demically qualified receive certificates, awards, and academic scholarship offers from a variety of colleges and universities. To be eligible for the Top Five Percent, students must have acquired at least a 3.8 overall grade point average during their four years in high school. To be in the Top Ten Percent, students must have attained at least a 3.59 overall average during four years in high school also. These students are very bright academi- cally, according to Mr. Oldenburg, an aca- demic counselor here at SHS. To attain the necessary grade point average, most of these students took advanced classes ' along with regular college prep classes, and did quite well in them. . , lf you are willing to study hard, do your best work possible, and then achieve the Top Five Percent - Top: Steve Kastner, Leif Swanson, Steve Sheldon, Scott Mederios, Doug Ervin, d . t .t . t Charles McLane, Bottom: Alison Klein, Patti Gerber, Kirk Gregor, Andy Milne, Judy Shupert.

Illlll Multi-Media Pro Long hours, challenging assignments, and rushed deadlines were ways of life for those students who were on the news pro- duction staff. The class consisted of ap- proximately twenty students who met one period each day. They were responsible for the writing, editing, and producing of the school's newspaper The Beaver and the KBVR T.V. news show. The Beaver is 52 years old and has the distinction of being the community of Scottsdale's first newspaper. ln those years it has achieved a fine reputation for its re- porting. The Beaver was put out once a month and distributed around the school. The entire class was involved in the writing of the news articles. They chose a topic, researched it, and wrote it according to the Beavers standards. The articles were ap- proved by the editor, Tracey Green, and typeset. The production editor, Gayle John- son, did the technical work, laid out the paper, and had it printed. Extra hours and a lot of time go into the production of the paper, stated Tracey Green, who hopes to start a career in Journalism. The KBVR news show is the only one of its kind in the district and has been in pro- duction for the last three years. The news was filmed on Thursday and aired every Friday during school. As a weekly student T.V. news show, it was written, edited, filmed, and directed by the students, pri- marily for the student body.
