Having a Hale of a time Q. I understand you ' re a part of an infamous dog act here at Yorktown. How did you get the idea to teach your dog tricks? A. One day I said to myself, Hey, this dog ' s got potential! Q. Have you ever considered going professional with the act? A. Well, I keep waiting for David Letterman to write me to be on his Stupid Dog Tricks seg- ment of his show, but he hasn ' t so far. Q. Have you ever written to him? A. Gh, no comment. Q. I guess that ' s a yes. Is there anything particular- ly outstanding that has happened to you since you came to Yorktown? A. There ' s been so many, but now I can ' t think of one. I guess the biggest adjustment I had to make was green. Q. Wait a minute. A green adjustment? I don ' t un- derstand. A. Well, I hate green! It was really hard to go out and buy anthing that was green. Q. Did you ever get over it? A. Let me put it this way, I ' m still adjusting. Lynn Miller That ' s right, I ' m bad, insists Senior Brian Thise as he pre- pares to peel out of the high school parking lot. Put your hands on your hips! exclaims Dr. Hales ' dog Scrappie. If you do it right this time, I ' ll give you a biscuit.

If A You ' ve had a really raunchy day. You were kicked into the rubber room for talking dur- ing second period, you flunked a geometry test that had been forgotten, and you were the only person caught throwing pudding pops at the first food fight of the year. As you start home you feel relieved, but suddenly you real- ize the worst is yet to come — your little fresh- man sister is going home to tell on you. The problems of going to school with broth- ers and sisters have been stereotyped by tele- vision, books and magazines. Showing that two people can ' t live together and work to- gether is a comical, but often inaccurate de- scription of family life in the 80 ' s. My brother and I get along great at school and at home. We joke around and talk things over. More than anything though, we ' re really good friends, stated Junior Kris Jacobson. We get along pretty well at school, added Senior Londa Shively. Even though we fight a lot at home, we still are pretty close to each other. Freshman Phil Starsky gave a comical de- scription of his relationship with his sister by saying, We get along better at school. At least my sister says Hi to me there. Showing a different view, Senior Tom Wei- lant explained, My brother and I have a pla- tonic relationship at home and at school. I don ' t bother him and he doesn ' t bother me. If you don ' t cherish the thought of spending eight additional hours a day only a few rooms from your brothers and sisters, you ' re not alone. If, however, you don ' t mind sharing the bathroom, bedroom and school, then you ' re in a large group of people who are quickly learn- ing to adjust to the reality of going to school with part of the family. Damon Brown Between discussing the theory of relativity and figur- ing out Newton ' s laws of gravity. Miss Moran ' s physics class displays the newest in Foster Grant Fashionwear. Finding themselves becoming good ol ' buddies dur- ing the Honor Society Halloween Party, Senior Laurie Rus- sel enjoys some ' down home ' talk with a new friend. And away we go. ' Juniors Colleen Coulon, Debbie Moore and Steph- anie Bean discover that going back to their earlier days at Yorktown can be a good way to have some fun. They talk at school too? While most brothers and sisters find it almost impossible to get along. Junior Sam Schlagel and his twin sisters Kathy and Kelly share each other ' s company. Opening 13

faAt 7UK£4 It ' s a well known fact that school can ' t always be fun. In fact, sometimes it seems like school can ' t ever be fun. Maybe someday though, we ' ll all realize that some of our greatest moments and best times were spent at school — times most of us will never forget. I think one of the greatest times I ever had was when the marching band placed in the top five at state finals, reflected Junior Jeff Sanders. Freshman Tim Hayworth commented that Seeing the computer exhibition that FBLA put together go over as well as it did was super. It made me feel like all that work that went in was worth it. Giving a different twist on the subject, Junior Cathy Owens unexpectedly commented, Nothing ever made me as happy as when I finally passed one of Mr. Gay- lor ' s history tests. Not all of us will remember high school as being a nonstop party. But whenever we have the chance to look back on the year just behind us, we ' ll remember that it was a year that brought about a lot of fast times that are not what you might expect. Damon Brown The best thing that happened to me this year was performing in front of over 18,000 people at state marching finals. — Alisha Patterson, freshman I doubt if I ' ll ever forget having two bus wrecks during the girl ' s swimming season. — Chris St. John, freshmen It was great to have a winning football team this year. Watching us defeat South- side at Homecoming was super. — Darrin Fogle, senior To tell you the truth, nothing that great happened this year. It was sort of boring. — Todd Young, sophomore Going chic or going sheik? Principal Jerry Secttor receives an unexpected addition to his wardrobe as he celebrates his birthday. And a partridge in a pear tree, sing Terry ' s Girls, who were one of the many unexpected and unsuccessful acts at this year ' s Christmas convocation. Opening 15
