Mr. Mellon made an effort to go out at least two times a year to take a back packing trip through rugged, undisturbed forest areas. l used to enjoy hiking when I was a kid, about lO or ll years old, said Mr. Mellon, l started back packing, when l was 12 with the Boy Scouts. According to Mr. Mellon, he learned the basics and some tricks by reading and by being with other back packers. Anything you are interested in, you learn as you do, said Mr. Mellon. ln one experience, according to Mr. Mellon, he learned by being lost. He was supposed to meet his friends before the trip, but he was late and they told him to meet T, 1. them at a certain spot during the hike. Mr. Mellon had never been there before and the river bed that he was to follow had dried up. His wife picked him up in a helicopter after he was a few days late. lt would have taken me another couple of days to get back from where l was, said Mr. Mellon. Back at the office, Mr. Mellon has been the principal and vice-principal of Galt High School, the Dean of Boys at Eureka Senior High School, head counselor and teacher of Jesuit High School, and he taught at the colleges of: San Joaquin Delta College, University of California, Davisg and Weber State College in Ogden, Utah, according to Mr. Mellon. by Sheryl Tankersley fl 1, V - 1 -rc ,vu . ,.

I thought we'd have more people in- volved,'l said Maria Rodriguez, class secreta- iyftreasurer. But the people that participat- ed were mostly Student Government mem- bers, the class officers and assembly. Hardly anyone else got involved. Other class officers were Kevin Nishi, president, and Martha Ehler, vice president. We tried to get more people to come to our meetings, explained Nishi. It was hard to get people to stay after school, since they didn'tdrive. Lack of information also hurt the class, especially at the fall competition rally. We weren't told about one event and while we were organizing our competitors, they started without us, said Nishi. The main activity of the year was an event designed for the freshman only. The fresh- men were polled in their English classes to determine the activity. We just wanted something for just the freshmen, something to have fun with, said Nishi. Other class activities included a spirit button sale, window painting, and a home- made cookie booth at the Christmas Bazaar. Despite low turnout at meetings, the officers found a lot of freshman spirit at the rallies. We were really spirited, really rowdy at the rallies, said Rodriguez. ln the competitions, we usually ended up in the top, added Nishi. Freshman Assembly members were: Tris- tin Clayton, Stephanie Galapia, Jeanine Morrison, Michelle Puzon, and Mark Tel- ford, We're a good class, said Nishi. We'll keep getting better, and by senior year, we'll be great. by Helen Schorr .Wise
