If I ever needed a parent signature, money, or the car keys, all I had to do was run down to the library and ask mom! Mrs. Kellers has worked at every school Katy has attended, Spreckles. Standley. and now UCHS, It would be strange not to have her here. commented Katy. Jim g ot a chance to see his uncle. Coach Mitchell, on a fairly regular basis because he coached both the track and cross country teams which Jim actively participated on. He requested not to have me in any of his math classes though, so as not to create any con- troversy. remarked Jim. Whereas Katy and Jim saw their mom or uncle all the time, the other two rarely associ- ated with their parent on campus. I never see her. we don ' t drive to and from school togeth- er and I don ' t have any of her classes. said George of his mother. About her dad, Jeanne remarked, I haven ' t been in any of his p.e. classes because I have always had athletics with a female coach. None of these students minded having mom, dad, or uncle on campus. It really helped my financial situation because I sold vocabulary tests to all of my friends in my mom ' s classes, said George with a mock seri- ousness, prices are negotiable Jeanne real- ly enjoyed having her dad here. The best thing about it in my junior year was getting to drive the car, in my senior year it ' s the motor- cycle! Having a parent on campus might make some people think one would receive special treatment, however, these four neither want- t d nor were given it. They all agree, we ' re no iifferent. Seniors 175

Rosemarie Day began dancing at a very early age. Her parents and teachers noticed that she had a natural beat, so they enrolled her in a dance class at the age of six Rosemarie has been dancing for the past eleven years. She has learned jazz, char- acter dancing, and a little folk dancing, however, she has mainly concentrated on ballet. Rosemarie attended dance class SIX days a week where she trained rigor- ously for four hours every day. The first two hours were spent warming up. stretching, and developing combinations and steps to her dances, whereas the last two hours were used for the rehearsing of the dances which were to be performed on stage. Rosemarie performed in a well respected professional troupe called The California Ballet Company. With a com- bined ensemble of twenty men and wom- en, the company performed in f lexico. Palm Springs, and Long Beach, as well as in San Diego. At school, too. Rosemarie exceled. She was enrolled in many honors classes as well as an auto mechanics class. I don ' t want to be a helpless fe- male. she commented when asked why she took the auto shop class. After a lot of debating, Rosemarie has decided not to continue with her ballet career after she graduates. She wanted more time for her college education and her social life. She admitted, however, that if she misses dancing a lot. she will return to her ballet Seniors 1 77
