He voluntarily assumed rhe position os sponsor of rhe SPECTRUM, o posirion ridden wirh responsibilities and hard work He proved his comperence by keeping order where chaos would have been, and worked closely wirh all members ro improve every facer of our yearbook. Few people could hove raken on such o rask while also sponsoring rhe school newspaper and rhe Debate Club Yer he mastered ir's complexities and succeeded in creating a yearbook from many divergenr ideas From rhe class of 1984, and especially from rhe SPECTRUM staff, we heartily give you rhante. Throughout our three years in Sun Volley, rhere hove been many changes in adminisrrorion. The only man present from our naive sophomore days ro our enlightened senior days is Mr. Kennerh Dolyard He could be seen or pep rallies, class meetings, and assemblies announcing rhe speakers, keeping rhe peace and cleaning up rhe organizarional mess rhor arises in such situations. Alrhough Mr. Dolyard may nor always convey ir ro rhe srudenr body, his actions ore morivar ed by his concern for us and our inreresrs For rhese reasons, rhe doss of 1984 owes him a warm rhank you. Caroline Fedeno, our guidance counselor, deserves much credit and appreciation from our senior doss She overcame much difficulty by successfully raking over rhe helm for Mr Diehl, who counseled us in our sophmore and junior years Alrhough she did nor know our nomes, personalities, or life goals in September of 1983, she quickly familiarized herself wirh rhe srudenr body and did much ro sreer us in rhe direction of our dreams From SAT preparations ro rhe college admissions information, she rruly did o spectacular job. She deserves sincere rhanlss from rhe class of 1984 J

Our sophomore yeor was also made memorable by everything happening outside of Sun Volley or rhe rime On rhe inrernorionol scene, Prince Charles ond Lody Di were married, ond El Solvo dor become o hot issue. On rhe narionol scene, rhe U S. sent o shuttle into space, rhe baseball players went on srrike, ev eryone ployed PocMon ond Rubies cubes were sold by rhe millions.
