George Robinson Rosa Santiesteban James Phillips Lisa Politzer Sam Posner Shirley Richardson or R sss so 5: 7:1 kk b Q Arnold Ruskin Mary Ann Schoell x X P Y 'ww Stanley Riches WILL HARVIE Will Harvie is an individual who doesn't go along with the crowd - a bright, young, good looking scientist, who wouldn't want to do anything but teach Physics and Chemistry. His life experiences as a longshoreman on the Alaskan pipeline, in sailing around the world while working as a research assistant for Scripps Institute, in climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro and the Grand etons, in working as a geo- physicist in Brazil, and in his yearly trip to relatives in Finland to work on their dairy tarm, all contribute to his march 'to a different dmmmerf' Harvie's Toyota pick-up truck Stephanie with the canoe rack on top, his La Jolla condo home and his ski trip mania every winter attest to his single life style. Travel, canoe surfing and daily aerobic dancing are avorite pastimes as well as listening to soul, the Pointer Sisters, and reading. Three advanced sheepskins are held by this Downey High School graduate - a B,A. in Physics from U.C. Irving, a M.S. in Earth Sci- ence from Scripps institute of Jon Robertson eoiture Oceanography and a M.A.T. Masters of Art in Teaching Physics from U.C.L.A. Joining the Torrey Pines staff in 1983 was the first teaching job for Harvie. He thinks the stu ents at Torrey Piines are great and enjoys his assignment of teaching four periods of hysics and one period of Chemistry and being a Declathon!Academic League coach. On his future wish list are canoe- ing through the Boundary Waters National ark in Minnesota, where there are no trails and people are not allowed to take in even supplies such as soap or cans, and hand building a house in Sun Valley. - D.
