}fprint is e wn Money problems are met with journalism awards Reporting the facts, informing the public and providing a form of public entertainment are what newspapers are supposed to be all about. This past year, the Hoofprint started off the year with the an- nouncement that last year ' s newspaper had received both Medalist and an All-American (very prestigious jour- nalism ratings.) The last time the paper had been a Medalist was in 1983 and the last time they had made All- American was in 1985, however, the paper had never received both awards in the same year. By receiving both awards in the same year rated the Hoof- print as one of only 24 high schools nationally, to obtain such ratings. With this news to push them on, the paper hit financial difficulties which staggered pro- duction. To help the financial circumstances and to get production back up, the Hoofprint Staffers spent many long hours selling items at a bou- tique during back to school night. They also endured through many television tapings, some of which includ- ed; Who ' s the Boss?, the Dating Game, Per- fect Strangers and My Sister Sam. After re- ceiving a grant from the State of California, the Hoofprint was able to purchase two comput- ers that set type, cut- ting back on type-set- ting expenses and virtu- ally cutting the price of the newspapers pro- duction in half. With these invest- ments and savings, the Hoofprint was able to put together another year ' s worth of news, sports, feature, and opinion and was in con- tention for the Pace- maker Award, (the most prestigious American High School journalism award, rec- ognizing the top 10 newspapers in the na- tion.)

ENERGY Through Pction 4 4 y ° ® pressing energy through something that you love to do — that ' s how I ' d define sports. explained varsity soc- cer player Todd Diebold. Sports wasn ' t just the ordi- nary running and jumping that you might have thought it was. This year there was more to sports than met the eye. It was made up of energy and electric- ity that some felt helped the outcome of the season. The runners had energy and enthusiasm to work hard at what they did. said Varsity Cross Country Coach Jim Po- lite. Their hard work took them to first place in CIF. This was WHS ' s first year in a new league. The change from the Sierra League to the Valle Vista League charged up every- one ' s energy. They felt more confident and energized at the start of the new season. I think we felt more confi- dent because we were playing teams of equal strength, said Varsity Football Coach Jim Pa- tricio. The school spirit and the team ' s energy was the mam reason for our success. With- out it we couldn ' t have won, said Varsity Tennis player Julie Wishner. who was named Most Valuable Player in the Valle Vis- ta League. Throughout the year there were many different definitions of sports. Some said it was a challenge, and it took team- work. Others said the most thrilling part of sports was win- ning. Junior Katie Calagna best summed it up by saying. Sports is a way of energizing life and a good way to get ex- cited about your school. Sports Division Page
