McCormick shows way Busy is the word which best described the .high school life of senior Gavin McCormick. After four years on the Tokay soccer team, he was honored by being named to the conference First Team and was saluted as Tokay's Most Valuable Defensive Player. But even with that success in sports, he managed to shoulder the enormous demands of being Editor-in-Chief for the weekly TOKAY PRESS this year. As a junior I sacrificed time for my editing and writing jobs to play soccer, but as Editor-in-Chief I sacrificed soccer time for my editing duties, thanks to Coach Ron Braden. Ac- tually, I prefer writing to editing, explained McCormick, who wrote a sports column for three years. McCormick also served as chairman of the Com- munications Improvement Association this year and presided over such events as the Candidates' Forum in the fall and College Night. The local chapter of American Field Service has also dr- awn his interest for several years, and AFS accepted him as a potential overseas student in October. McCormick hopes that the AFS office in New York City can find him a home and that he can leave in june for a one-year stay in another country. A Bank of America certificate was another honor going to McCormick this year for his English achievements. Yes, athletes can write, if they are determined enough.

Crews wheels to success Racing bicycles has been the main interest for senior john Crews since he was 12 years old. Within six years he had collected over 500 trophies and is now ranked within the top ten riders in the world. Crews has been to Australia, Germany, England, and on four tours of the United States with the help of his sponsor, Redline, from whom he receives a monthly salary. A friend down the street got me started, and from there I took it up on my own, he stated. I really like the sport because it helps keep a lot of younger kids off the streets and out of trouble. Crews has been on television and radio programs many times. He has also appeared on the cover and been inter- viewed by a racing magazine. He spends much of his time competing in American Bicycle Association races. He usually races every weekend and spends an hour practicing each day after school. I don't mind spending time in practice because I like the out- come. I like the money most of all. The most I've ever raced for in one event was S10,000, he stated. But racing also helps me keep in pretty good shape. I enjoy racing because I win on my own. It's not like just being part of a team, he added. Crews also does promotional work for his sponsors, on top of the practice, practice, practice. f s . gf, ff' was , fe ... - ' . is r his. . ,. ,rrc ..: - S kf N - K kckk Ain, '-1.
