N ot just for little kids B00 After October 31, 1986, we could officially say that Halloween was no longer a holiday just for little kids. SJND students enthusiastically participated in the cos- tume and pumpkin carving contests and the Halloween Dance that ended the night. Many characters, unusual, literary, religious and scary, could be seen on campus and at the dances. Instead of students and teachers, we had gypsies, flappers, convicts, Sherlock Holmes and a refugee from the 60’s. Senior Ruelvis Alonga fulfilled a religious calling by becoming a pope for the night; and Sophs Brenda Ca- vanaugh and Joan Ouittman were farmers. All were able to kick up their heels that night, moving to the beat of Dynamic Sounds. As 10:20 chimed, the spell was broken; everyone’s pumpkin turned into a carriage and all drove away! Juniors Kristin Yorba, Maggie Doyle, and La Coby Phillips take a break from the laser lights and pounding beat in the gym. aN OF Official campus flower child Mr. Philip Gravem wishes us all a psyche- delic Halloween.

F acing the facts Studying at a desk without a television or a radio on, studying in the dining room under a parent’s watchful eye or at the library in silence are ways and places students should study. However, with busy social and work schedules, many SJND students have to study where and when they can. And they have found themselves in some very unusual study situations. Sophomore Lisa Johnson said, “I did homework once sitting on the roof of my house, sunbathing at the same time.” “Sitting on the hood of my car while waiting for a friend,” Senior Janell Brown remembers as the most unusual place she studied this year. Junor Michele Spane remembers, “I had to study alge- bra in the car on the way to Lake Tahoe once. My dad said I better know it by the time we got there!” “T studied while listening to the radio, hanging out my window watching the guys go by,” said Freshman Michelle Thomas. With many students working at night and on weekends, homework often has to be fit in at odd moments. Senior Philip Cruce explained, “I’ve often done homework while at work at Croll’s Pizza.” And Senior Quaker Winget said, “When I’m pushed I did my homework in break room at Safeway,” Holidays may not be the ideal time to study, but for some Pilots it was necessary. “I wrote a composition for English on a plane going to New York,” said Senior Percival Mo- lina. And Senior Todd Mosley said his most unusual study spot was... “the library”! Wherever they were and whatever the occasion, SJND students knew how to use their time well. They may not have chosen the most ideal ways and places to study, but they did study! Junior Todd Rabbach relaxes in the bath tub while studying for a test.
