Tahoma High Maple Valley, WA KI-AH-YU 1981-82 VOL. 34 Editor: Kathy Morris Advisor: D’Ann Tedford Publisher: Herff Jones THE PLAYERS Every life’s a pantomime An act done with some meaning The life is yours, the mime is you The act is what you’re being Done in colors, black and white Sometimes shades of grey Like shadows cast upon the earth It's our lives day by day Images on colorless faces Are many, just look and see A smile, a frown, an empty stare; Expressions of you and me We smile at times of happiness When something good is done We smile at a pleasant thought Or when we re having fun We frown when grave mistakes are made And when there’s hurt inside We frown when angry thoughts appear Or when something good has died What can you say about the empty stare Is it the thought of something free? A mind that’s thinking so far away Of a vision we can’t see? The black and white, they represent Our days, both good and bad The shades of grey inbetween Are the days we’ve usually had Your life; it’s just a pantomime So live it with some meaning Take the ups. the downs, the inbetweens And like what you are being. — Margo George ’82 “The Pleyere” 2 “The Players” 6 Dedicated to. . Donald Graham . .. for keeping Tahoma publications afloat when they were left stranded. When yearbook and newspaper courses were dropped from the curriculum and given a co-curricular status, Don Graham, with his calm sense of humor, offered his services to advise the two publications after school thereby expressing his opinion of the value of the media and the opportunity it offers for free expression of student thought. Also, when yearbook funds were depleted he found ways to raise the money so the students could continue creating a book of memories. From the time the new high school opened in the 1974-75 school year, Graham, remembering his advising skills from the junior high level, took on the task of advising both publications. This edition of the KI-AH-YU is the first in many years on which Graham has not spent long hours in the darkroom. Utfitaiai The senior class of 1982 is a refreshing blend of courteousness along with positive enthusiasm, which has been illustrated in the classrooms, hallways and at assemblies,” — W. Pringle, adviser. Senior class officers: 1—Brian King, president. 2—Patti King, secretary. 3—Tim Heikell, treasurer. 4—Julie Sandhei, vice-president.

Now we have Vocal Jazz, A Cappella, or Concert Choir. It seems like we’ve always been players on one stage or another. In the fourth grade the playground was our stage as we were the players of games like hopscotch, tether ball, four square, and soak ‘em. Now we find our stage to be the football field or the basketball court. Who could ever forget in the eighth grade when Dennis McCarthy scored two points for the other team?! When money became a problem we had bike-a-thons and beef-n’-bucks. Later on to more sophisticated things like car washes and dances! We could always count on David “Wheels” Wheeler for a good 90 mile ride. With the changing of grades and schools came a change of scenery. We went from two recesses to a ten-minute break, from playground teachers to Larry Weyrick, security patrol. Even our forms of discipline changed. Where there were once 126’s to be copied for junior high teacher, Mr. Marangon, there are now in-house suspension and detention slips to sign for Mr. Weyrick. The ice cream socials were always fun along with the spelling bees, rocket building, and learning how to square dance in the sixth grade. Who ever thought that our Tahoma band would play in the Kingdome! But we did get an early start with our tamb-orine, recorders, and ukalalees. We even had an early start with Camp Casey leading to our Senior parties, and field days leading to senior skips (with an accompanying two days detention). Well we started off at the High School on the right foot. Tracy Hall was our president and under his guidance we won the pep jug and battled through Blauman. Sophomore class president Jolene Griffin kept us together so that our junior year with Caren Riffle was filled with excitement. Now with Brian King as our fearless leader we prepare for the final step. Graduation time will fly and some memories will fade but the class of ‘82 will always be number 1 for us!! -T.

The freshmen followed in second place, third place went to juniors and sophomores came in fourth. Winners in the competitive categories were: Hall Decora tions-freshmen; Dressing Up-sophomores; Floats -juniors; Noontime Activities and Signs-seniors. Crazy days brought creative outfits starting with Western Day, the Friday before Spirit Week. New days added to the fun included a Tourist Day and Hippie Day. Other days for dressing up were T-shirt Day, Halloween Day and the traditional Blue-and-Gold Day. For the fourth year, an alumni reception before the game welcomed alumni from 1923 to 1981. Trina Tucker was in charge. Thanks to Brenda Garvin, overall homecoming chairperson, the week was a definite success. —C.

The organization adopted the poinsettia as their club flower and sold them during the Christmas season. Monies raised went toward Mexican dinners, Spanish-style dancing and, of course, fiestas. Promoting ski weekend trips to the Berghaus, Herbsfest parties, bike journeys around Washington, and the annual trip to Leavenworth dominated German Club’s agenda. One of the club’s goals was to regenerate a once-active exchange program. Erika Seidel was advisor. -K. Morris Barenreiter (Bear rider) was German Club's name.

Acting becomes a child’s play A step forward was made by Tahoma’s Drama Department in their production of “Story Theater.” “I really think the audience knew what we were doing and we didn’t have to worry about props,” stated Lynn Howland, cast member, in reference to doing a show in pantomime. The fall play included ten children’s stories, all without props, leaving much to the audience imagination. Cast members practiced diligently for two and a half months to bring the show together for its November 20 and 21 performances. “Story Theater,” although written mainly for children, was adapted to make it entertaining to all ages according to drama coach, Richard Young. During intermission, cast members took children from the audience and danced to Sesame Street music. After the first evening’s performance, Principal Jack Schuster presented the cast and director with flowers for a “professionally executed production.” -M.

Applicants must also include references proving their responsibility and their grade point averages. New members are then initiated at a special dinner where each one hears a biographical sketch about themselves and a little introduction by a member of Honor Society.

New activities were added to the traditional Birthday “Kiss” and Guardian Angel programs: during Spirit Week this group organized Dress-up Days as well as lunchtime activities; at Christmastime they helped FBLA wrap presents at Fairwood Plaza; and they helped sell concessions at home sporting events. Formal tolo, as planned by PAB, dominated Valentine’s Day. Spring activities included a club member “SpringFling” and a First-ever “teacher appreciation ice-cream feed”. -M.

PAB DECA 74 TJSF« Take the long route home! Lfgh! Driver’s Ed. This comment seems to be echoed by those who experience this after-school class. It was not all that bad-after all, what other class allows students to drive home with friends, to laugh at all their class mistakes, and to skip class when you pass a test. Both classroom and driving portions are cheerfully taught right after school by Dan Tollefson, Tony Jovanovich and Marion Morse, all of whom help students reach a point where they can get their licenses at age sixteen, instead of waiting for age eighteen. There was quite a bit of homework involved with driver’s education but friends seemed eager to help out. Driving seemed to be the favorite part anticipated by most students except for the fact that it took much longer than usual to get home those nights. Driver’s Education class lasts one quarter. -M.

Hawley, librarian. 1—Student library aides. 2—Rosalyn Hooper, assistant librarian. 3—Nettie Belle man, assistant librarian. 4—Barbara Hawley, the new librarian, finds students interesting to work with. She likes to deal with each person as an individual because of every person’s special needs and interests. Hawley, with the help of Webster, defines a library as a “collection of materials kept for convenient use, study or enjoyment.” Changes she is making in the THS library are based on giving the library an “open” feeling. The library, in the past few years, has been referred to as the Instructional Materials Center (IMC) because of the multitude of needs it now fills.

Endless deadlines and ever-comical monkey-shines contributed to a horrendous year for the new yearbook advisor, D’Ann Tedford. Staff members considered ‘Tedford” a synonym for “dictatorship.” Her dedication and knowledge in journalism provided new insight for the annual staff students which resulted in clever ideas for everyone’s layouts, copy and captions. The ultimate goal for any annual class is not to miss any deadlines and this class missed NOT A ONE. Nobody could ever say that the Tahoma Herald was a sexist paper. For the first time ever, there were two editors of the opposite sex. John Merrill and Dana Maki co-anchored the class. Merrill called himself ‘The Boss,” and Maki dubbed herself ‘The boss’ boss.” With those positions intact the Herald rolled off the presses every third week. —B.

Jack Schuster has been principal for five years at this school; Chuck Campbell, vocational director, installed FBLA members into their respective offices for the first time this November; and Pete Ryan, activities director, could occasionally be seen popping popcorn at noontime and selling it for $.25 a bag. Secretary Connie Luther has been at Tahoma serving the front office for four years and Sally Kamp, ASB clerk, helped students in purchasing student body cards, yearbooks and towel fees. Students could get individual help from the counseling center by making appointments to see Tom Bird, Darrell Johnson or Linda Therou. If it was sports you needed help with, Rod Si-vertsen, athletic director, had the answers. ‘That’s it for the bulletin and remember: Reach for the stars and if you should ever fall short, you’re still on top of the world.” Thus, Molly Miles hung up the office hot line, having delivered the year’s biggest change-personalized Daily Bulletin reading service. — K.

Erika Seidel said her ability to speak German so well did not handicap her teaching the students, but helped. A new language club with Esther Rodrigues as adviser was started. Speaking Spanish was not required for club membership, only an interest in the culture. Approximately 40 students joined the new endeavor making a large and energetic group. Annette VanDiest, teaching Spanish one period a day, joined in the festivities. Activities planned were a group dinner at a Mexican restaurant, a Span-ish-Latin American candy sale, and attending a Flamenco dance performance at Carco Theater in Renton. -M.

A few Field trips to research facilities such as the Northwest Health Sciences complex and to the Seattle Marine Aquarium were the expected. Honors Biology I and 11 were new courses designed for motivated students who accepted the challenge of additional and higher level work. Seventeen students in one class were found to be “reliable with their homework, easy to get moving in class activities, and willing to accept additional assignments.” “The most satisfying aspect of teaching this class was the quality of questions the students asked,” said Joe Tedford, biology teacher. -L.

She graduated from Eastern in 1980 with a bachelors in education and is currently working toward a master’s degree at S.P.U.

Students of Resource Room rotated classes like the rest of the student body. Three teachers were responsible for the sixty students. Judy Hunt, the newest teacher, previously taught at Cedar River Elementary. Hunt said, “Getting comfortable in a much larger school, learning names and having to look ‘up’ to many of the taller students were some of the changes from last year.” Hunt basically taught language arts, math and Pacific Northwest History.

We’re not against each other now, we’re running together and having fun.” This comment was echoed by Seniors Melody Preedy and Erin Wickham, both of whom consistently finished either first or second in all their cross-country races. The team as a whole had one of the best seasons in Larry Seferovich’s 11 years of coaching. Male standouts were Mark Brumbaugh and Matt Sefer-ovich, sophomores, who followed the pattern set by Preedy and Wickham. Not to be outdone. Seniors Mike Geist,Tom Hochstatter and David Tollefson were never far behind. The girls’ season ended 0-9, no losses; boys were 1-8 and the junior varsity went 1—8. Both varsity squads were league champions for the third time in four years. At district the girls’ team placed fifth a-gainst both AAA and AA schools while the young boys’ team finished a good 11 th place against tough competition.

The Bears had less points scored on them than any other team in the league proving that the defense was one of the finest. Griffin characterized the defense as having the “intangibles of football -character, toughness, tenacity and team work.” Small in size but large in hustle, spirit and effort, the 1981 team finished the season winning four games and losing five. -D.

Because they were a relatively young team with only two seniors, they concentrated on the fundamentals and worked on grooming a squad for next year. Each contest, they put out 100 percent in effort no matter what the outlook of the game appeared to be. A positive attitude was the leading contributor to the fine season the girls attained. — B. Stoddard G. Basketball 151 Wrestlers grapple to league top “Winning the first league championship,” said wrestling coach, A1 Divina, when asked what his most cherished moment was during the season. The Bears greatest win came against Mt. Si in a 54 to 8 swamping. In State competition, Junior Brian Gilmore finished sixth while Senior Shane Read finished fourth. Only two seniors depart the team: Shane Read and Blaine Horn. “Determination brought us to championship status,” concluded Divina about his season. —E.

Soccer players enjoy challenge Beginning the ‘82 season with a 4-2 win-loss record, the Varsity Boys’ Soccer Team started off very admirably. The two losses came with the first two games of the season -first against Rainier Beach where both Jaimy McLaughlin and Mike Paulson made goals but in the end Rainier Beach won 3-2. In the second game of the season, Kent Meridian beat the Bears 1-0. The third game was against Capital High School. The Bears prevailed over all odds and came away with a 2-1 lead with scores by Junior David Hoyt and Sophomore Mark Treick. The first league game of the season was against Liberty and Treick led the Bears to victory with three goals. Hoyt also made a goal which gave Tahoma a 4-1 win. Another practice game against Foster gave the Bears a second off-season win. Eric VandeBrake led the scoring drive with two. Others with a goal against Foster were Daryl Green, David Hoyt, Mike Paulson and Larry Reid. Final score was 6-1. The second season game was against Enumclaw which the Bears won 1-0 with the goal by Tom Schindeldecker, senior, who was assisted by defender, David Wheeler. Varisty team consisted of two seniors, Wheeler, a two-year letter-man who played centerback, and Jaimy McLaughlin, also a two-year letterman, who played striker. Juniors held a leading role in the varsity with their six starters: Mike Paulson, Larry Reid, David Hoyt, Eric Oakland, Danny Melton and Keith Flint. Sophomores on Varsity were Daryl Green, Eric VandeBrake, Mark Treick and Mike Dowd, goalie. Although they started slow, it looked like the power had finally come through and with four wins it seemed as though the team would indeed have a winning season. —B. Deady B. Soccer Team sprints toward goal Girls’ and boys’ track was greatly aided by the number of returning letterwinners and the appearance of many promising freshmen. Under the guidance of head coach, Rob Morrow, the tracksters “Dared to be Great”, realizing the strong competition but sill remaining one of the better teams in the league. Assistant coaches, known for their entuusiasm, were A1 Divina, wieght group; Erika Seidel, sprints and hurdles; and Larry Seferovich, long distance. Distance events were well represented with Mel Preedy, a four-year state competitor placing within the top ten runners for the two-mile race, and LaDonna How who gave opposing teams tough competition in the 880 run. Mark Brumbaugh and Tom Hochstatter showed experience in the mile, two-mile and mile relay. Hurdlers’ and sprinters’ hard workouts proved worthwhile and it showed as Tahoma took many first places in these events: Tracy Hall on the high hurdles with Kim Wallace hurdling the 330 low hurlles; sprinters Nelson Femandini, a freshman, proved to be extremely fast in the 100 yard dash along with Junior Debbie Hilton who gave much competition in the girls’ 100 yard dash. -L.

Tracksters who showed outstanding performances in the area were Freshman Pam Crookston, throwing the javelin; Laura Ellis, high jumping and long jumping; Brian Gilmore, long jumping and discus; Tracy Hall, high jump and triple jump; Dan Lambert, first-year track letterman, showed great ability in discus, shot put and the javelin. Dennis McCarthy held top standings all season with the shot put; he also threw javelin. Ellen McCarthy covered all three throwing events well-javelin, discus and shot put. Mark Sherwood grabbed top league standings in the discus and Don Steinmetzer expressed great ability in the shot put. —L. Ellis tennis Varsity Statistics Spanaway Lk. 3-4 Liberty 3-4 Enumclaw Mt.

It begins the day after the last season ends. Wednesday night volleyball, 4-on-4 tournaments, summer camps, or just playing around at home all helped prepare for the actual season. Coach Helen Shaw’s Summer Special, held all through July, gave the team its first chance to play together. From then on, everything came up roses. From September until State in November, they took the title Seamount League and Seaking District champions. These accomplishments paved the road to State where things got bumpy with the team leaving Mt. Si gymnasium the first night with a 1—2 record destroying the possibility of first in State ... the ultimate goal. The next windy morning, undefeated and notorious Olympia became the team to beat. Into the final stages of the second game, after a glorious victory in the first, the lights went out leaving a score of 12—14 in favor of the opposition. After three and a half hours off, power returned and the game stood 1—1 Ta-homa won the match in the third game much to the pleasure of viewers in the stands. The team’s very last game together ended the season with the only shut-out at State.. .Tahoma over Central Kitsap 15—0. The team took fifth in State.

It contained cars, motorcycles, and pets for sale; a personal section; miscellaneous; and lost and found. Weyrick also spent his time patrolling the parking lot and he instituted the “rhino”, a locking device placed on the front wheel of vehicles which broke the parking lot rules. It cost the offender $5.00 to have the rhino removed. Rules which needed to be obeyed included: cars must have a parking sticker (costing one dollar); only one parking slot could be used per car; and no parking in the pool or bus areas. -E. Money Cafeteria facilities Lunchroom facilities expanded to meet the rising population and to overcome crowded and unorganized lines used in the past. Where lockers stood two years ago is now a kitchen serving area complete with four lunchroom attendants. Students could purchase milkshakes, cheeseburgers, hot lunches, hot nachos and much more. Everyone seemed pleased with the new arrange ment in spite of competition from an also-new McDonalds down the road. The “money lady” only accepted cash for lunches-no charges were allowed, not even a Master Card which is accepted all over the world. Prices for lunch at the new cafeteria set-up was slightly higher than in the past. But, it cost only $1.00 for a milk, cheeseburger and French fries, still inexpensive by McDonald standards. —B.

Support Staff 170 The stage is set, the curtain opens and you, the players, are up there alone for the unrehea , _ led performance. Life is like that-like playing a violin solo in public and learning how to . play it at the same time. Remember, the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first Step. Be patient. Anticipation breeds frustration. There is more to life than increasing its?. •Peed. Look at Poland and Solidarity. Martial law is declared - men refuse to leave the mines-people are killed—they go hungry. It’s frightening, especially when a strike similar to Soli darity happens in the U.S. when the Air Traffic Controllers walk out. Instead of using martial law. President Ronald Reagan just fired them. Anwar Sadat, a man of peace is asa- . assinated in October at a military parade. The destruction of the new power of Khomeini, ' ■ who has now gone above and beyond the horror of the previous Shah’s regime, contrasted . to the constructive influence of an old power with the marriage of Prince Charles of Wales to Lady Diana. Next door to England and Wales, the IRA hunger strikes continued with . religious protest. The baseball strike plagued the summer season. It seemed as if a strike fever was spreading. If things don’t go accordingly-strike. Reagan went into his second ’ , ; year of office with more and more budget cuts which have now sifted down and are affecting the school’ programs. 1 guess “those who live content with little, possess everything. Even though Reagan doesn’t support the E.R.A., he appointed Sandra Day O’Conner ton Supreme Court justice position-first woman ever in that capacity. In that same branch of government, the Supreme Court outlawed the teaching of creation in public schools, upholding what this country’s founding fathers had in mind when separating church and state. The University of Washington’s “James Gang” returned from Pasadena with the ro aes and life at Tahoma bloomed. We returned in September to a hard-hat area and a new, more efficient lunch system. In fashions,the girls wore knickers, headbands and western boots while the guys stuck to the basics-everyone wore uni-sex levis. For entertainment, movies like “Reds”, “Breaker Morant”, and “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, drew long box of- flee lines. The producers of this book have worked hard to present to you a book of memories (good -bad, the choice is yours).
