gk KICK-EQ tage 14, Freshman Lance Donlan has become the youngest blackbelt in kick- boxing in the U.S. His particular field of karate is also known as International Combat Arts. He first became interested in karate at age 10. For him, it was a new and interesting form of self defense. His parents have given him a lot of encourage- ment, but he says that his greatest inspiration has been his instructor Vince Soberano, who is a first degree blackbelt, and a professional kick-boxer. One of the reasons Lance admires him so much is because he also started at a young agle. 'iAs far as l'm concerned, vince is the best instructor in the world, said on an. One ofthe things Lance enjoys the most is being able to teach karate to nge of respgngrbrllty younger kids. He is presently teaching classes at Orange World Martial Arts to children ranging from ages 4 to 12. When A, asked about teaching, Donlan said, I want other kids to come to karate because I like teaching it, and 4-aunts' it is really fun for them. It gives you a sense of accompIishment. Lance practices every day except Sunday. He also works out with the kick-boxing team, and the demo team, of which he is the captain. On Sundays he works with weights. Karate gives a sense of re- sponsibility. Many of his friends take karate, I which gives him a chance to work out and v-l 'W' fight with them. When asked if karate gets in the way of his social life, he replied f i- that no, it helps because it makes J him feel more confident. For the future, Lance would like to become a profes- sional kick-boxer, and would also welcome the opportunity to F teach more W schools. -Lisaltelm -Colleen FitzSimons .-'asa .ie . 1- ' as 6 is S 1 Susanna Romero Jennifer Rossmar Amy Russo Matthew Rutter James Sadler Whitney Saik Sachin Saste Tisha Satterwhite Ritu Saxena Kyla Schmedding Daniel Schwartz Jeffrey Scott Ingrid Seiple John Selmo Reza Shah Matthew Sheehan Rebecca Shen Julie Sherman Kimberly Sherrod

Freshmen cheerleaders Kristine Paige, Bella Zaka- rian, Colleen Berry, Stephanie Steinberg, and Becky Patchen help to lead their class with school spirit. WHAT FRESHNIEN 0 most people, the freshmen class usually appears to have more spirit than any other class. Most likely, this is because freshmen are so excited to be in a new school, and finally out of lunior high. lt usually seems as though it is the freshmen who are wearing the school colors, and there are usually more freshmen at many of the games than any other single class. Most of the freshmen come from either Earl Warren Junir Hlgh, or the Rancho Santa Fe School. They all seem to know each other, and appear to be he only class in school who are actually enjoying what they are doing. All of the other classes have been around just a little too long. Most of the freshmen seem to really like our school. Torrey Pines is really cool, and the people are friendly, .- ' 'S' sg.: Q said freshman Stephanie Abraham. Why is it that the freshmen class has more spirit than any other class? Most freshmen think that this is because they have just come to the school and want their school to be the best. Many also feel that they have a lot of energy, and are excited and rowdy. Eighty-one per cent of the freshman class seems to feel that they have a lot of school spirit. For the most part, the freshmen class can be seen as being the most spirited class in school. They have iust come to a new school, and they have great ideas for their next four years. - Colleen FitzSimoris - Lisa Helm YK Jenni Wier Ariel Will Jennifer Willard Erin Williams Joseph Wilson Susan Wilson 'ae I' 'i'S?!l3 5 ' 4 Clarence Winetrout IV Edmund Wong Laurel Worden Brooke Yarnell Kristin Yarris Bella Zakarian Jamie Zuleback 1l in-n
