Advisory
Fifteen Minutes a Day Was...
Time Well Spent
Kirstin Popper
"Advisory. It's not just a
class, it's an adventure," stated
sophomore Elizabeth Pactor.
Many students agreed with
Pactor. Each person attended a
daily fifteen minute session
with their permanent faculty
adviser, whether they were in
high school or middle school.
These advisory groups became
a miniature version of the
famed "P.K. family." Students
held group discussions on to-
pics of interest to them,
planned their academic ca-
reers, learned about crack co-
caine, and listened to the daily
announcements.
Teacher advisers were new
to P.K. but not new to educa-
tion itself, having been used in
other schools under different
names for about fifteen years,
according to director Dr. John
Jenkins. Dr. Jenkins recog-
nized the value of promoting a
closer working relationship be-
tween teachers and students, a
relationship that seemed to
grow from the advisory pro-
gram. He experienced student
growth in areas such as scho-
lastic achievement, decision-
making, and organization due
to the student's contact with the
adviser, and hoped the pro-
gram would bring these bene-
fits to P.K.
Teacher adviser Dr. Wes
Corbett also had praise for the
program. "It is a good program
and has a lot of potential," said
Corbett. He wrote a grant
which, if funded, would allow
more materials to be bought to
enhance the advising period,
which would benefit students
and teachers. Corbett saw the
opportunity to involve commu-
nity members in the program,
'allowing a broader focus for
student interests.

As the last bell of the day
rang, students filed to
their lockers and cars. The hall-
ways, cleared for the first turi-
of the day, showed some stu-
dents ]ii- .:li,.j in tli- opposite
direction-to the auditorium.
They were enrolled in the
Yonge Arts program, a new
and innovative after school at-
tempt to offer students an edu-
cation in the dramatic arts. The
program, divided into acting
and technical theatre areas, let
students decide which path to
follow in reaching their dra-
matic goals.
"Hands on" experience
comprised most of the Yonge
Arts curriculum. Students, un-
der the supervision of program
founder Mr. Robert Wentzlaff,
worked in the University of
Florida theatre shop to gain
technical skills. They also bene-
fited from dance lessons given
by a professional choreo-
grapher. The program culmi-
nated in several student direct-
ed and constructed produc-
tions such as A Christmas
Carol, Frankenstein, and
Let's Murder Marsha. At
the year's end, students accom-
panied Mr. Wentzlaff to a the-
atre workshop in Chicago at
the University of Illinois.
Also participating in Yonge
Arts assemblies was the high
school ensemble. Choral di-

ture which allowed them to

Another musical group
boasting an increase in mem-
bership was the middle school
chorus. With thirty-three new
students, the chorus sang for
elementary and middle school
assemblies. The highlight of
their year was their perfor-
mance of the musical The
Electric Sunshine Man, a
biography of Thomas Edison.
The chorus participated in the
state middle school chorus
contest. Director Pat Denson
thought that the chorus made
students feel good about them-
selves and each other.

Thoughts
Although only a fresh-
man, Ezra Freeman (be-
low right) has been in-
volved in Arete for two
years. Ezra enjoys the op-
portunities Arete gives
him to write and to pur-
sue his interest in the the-
atre. Ezra whose parents
are both actors, has been
in several plays such as
American Cave, A
Christmas Carol, and
Our Town.
Ezra's experience with
the Arete program has
been that there is "never
a dull moment. It's a
place where you can act
like a fool without being
ashamed of yourself. In
Arete, knowledge is less
important than the ability
to think."
According to Ezra, one
of the best features of the
program was the unique
balance struck between
the importance of the in-
dividual and the impor-
tance of the group. "It
takes a group of kids with
the ability to think one
way and teaches them a
whole new, more ad-
vanced way of thinking."
'The part I en-
joy most about
it is the stimu-
lating conver-
sation.'

Arete Brings Out
Best
Individual, Group Work Guided
--Kirstin Popper
Arete-an unusual word
for an unusual program.
You can't find the word in a
normal dictionary, and you
won't find the program in ev-
ery school. So what is Arete?
School director Dr. John Jenkins
quoted marathon runner Dr.
George Sheehan: "In Greek
Arete means the best. Arete also
contained the idea of something,
whether it be an object or a crea-
ture, doing exactly what it was
made for. Arete means being the
absolute embodiment of what it
was designed to be. It is not be-
ing better than something else, it
is the best of what is."
The Arete program looked
for students with an above
average readiness for creative
productivity, and helped them
develop that asset. In the mid-
dle school Arete reached stu-
dents through an advanced
English class, a research class,
an independent study seminar,
and a girl's group. Middle
schooler Margery Miller said
she appreciated the program
because it gave her an oppor-
tunity to express herself and to
be creative. Lisa Edwards con-
curred: "Arete makes people

feel like they have a special
quality and gives them a
chance to use it."
The high school branch of
the program included a Yonge
Women's Seminar for girls in
the ninth through twelfth
grades. Instructor Gale Ulmer
worked to integrate Arete ser-
vices across the curriculum, and
took the program into all social
studies classes. Sophomore
Heather Hall enjoyed the pro-
gram's treatment of students as
"mature and intelligent young
adults." Betsy Nichols appreciat-
ed the program for another rea-
son: "It is a great chance to share
ideas with people who under-
stand and care about you."

No Pressure
Art Classes a Hit with Students
Danica Bernard
Imagine a class where each
student worked at his own
pace, and spent hours laboring
over every assignment. He
paid meticulous attention to the
smallest details and worked
and reworked the lesson until it
was perfect in his eyes. He was
not trying to win a presidential
award, or even to make it into
an honors program. He was in
art class, doing what was im-
portant to him.
The no-pressure atmosphere
of art classes provided a wel-
come break in the schedule of
many students. Students felt
the classes were special because
"In most subjects you are
scheduled to do things in a cer-
tain way. In art you have room
to be creative in what you are
doing," according to Eric Ri-
ley. Fellow art student Mike
Poole echoed Riley's com-
ments. He liked art "because
there is a lot of freedom in it."
High school art instructor
Wendell Abbott supervised
the art, drawing and painting,
and jewelry making classes.
Henry Scott, a student in draw-
ing and painting, enjoyed the
class because "it was my
chance to show what I could
really do." Similar comments
were often heard from students
in Abbott's other classes.
One of the most popular
electives offered by the middle
school, Brenda Springfield's
art class helped students to be
creative and at the same time to
enjoy themselves. "It always
seemed like fun," said student
Drew McPhail of the middle
school art program. The stu-
dents did projects ranging
from line drawings to paper
mache statues.
Cross stitch, wood burning,
and stencil painting were of-
fered by teacher Norma Spur-
lock in the middle school crafts
class. Spurlock, who has
owned a crafts store, guided
students in their projects. "I
took crafts because I like doing
cross stitch," said Suzanne
Prugh. The students often gave
their projects as gifts.

Greene works on a dragon he sketches

ated in the comfort of air conditioning.

Another Paper Completed
Traci Welch
It was early Monday morning
and nerves were on edge.
Students were relieved the
long weekend had ended-
yes, relieved. There was no
new disease going around
causing them to act this way. It
was just another English paper
turned in on time. Only elation
or disappointment were to fol-
low when the paper was grad-
ed and returned.
In spite of the inevitable pa-
pers, many students ranked
English as their most beneficial
course. Michelle Chynoweth
summed up the feeling: "The
English department is provid-
ing most of the skills we need to
strengthen us for college and
for our entry tests. It's a very
good program."
The teachers responsible for
positive comments from stu-
dents were serious about their
subject. Vicki Clifford, Betsy
Creveling, Nancy Dean, Susan
Hardee, and Joan Kaywell met
as a department at least once a
month to develop a thorough
program in English for the high
school. "Our goal is to formu-
late a consistent curriculum for
grades nine through twelve
and to keep the kids reading,"
stated department head Vicki
Clifford. In accordance with
the Florida Writing Enhance-
ment Program, students com-
pleted a minimum of one for-
mal paper per week in addition
to achieving a P.K. tradition-a
thorough literary background.
English classes in the middle
school concentrated heavily on
writing skills students would

Procrastination
You have just received your
first writing assignment, "What
is Excellence?" You might say
"I can't do that" or your jaw
might suddenly end up drag-
ging the ground.
But as you have learned, the
initial panic soon leaves, and a
sort of eerie calm comes over
you. "I have a whole week,"
you say. "This paper will be a
cinch to write."
The day before the paper is
due you sit down with a gallon
of Coca Cola and a bag of pota-
to chips and wait for the right
words to come to you. And wait.
And wait. At midnight you find
something-a phrase, an idea,
that seems to work. In a nearly
catatonic state you complete the
assignment. Your eyes are as
bloodshot as the red lines
you're sure you'll find on the
paper after it is graded. And
you swear you'll never wait this
late again-until the next paper
is due.

What's the Hardest Thing
About...
Learning Another
Language?

What's the hardest thing
about learning a new
language? According to
French student Christine
Thomas, the most difficult task
was trying to remember the
rules and tenses for verbs. An
exasperated student Karen
McKnew exclaimed, "Every-
thing!"
Teachers of foreign lan-
guages saw problems from an-
other angle. Lori Catanzaro,
Spanish instructor, felt that new
pronunciation sounds con-
fused students the most, as well
as the fear of making an embar-
rassing mistake in front of the
entire class. "Students
shouldn't worry about making
mistakes," Catanzaro said.
"That's how they learn!"
French teacher Jo Stepp saw
students hesitating to put
words together into sentences.
She also stressed that many stu-
dents were surprised at the
concentrated study and class
time required to become fluent
in another language.
In spite of the difficulty of
learning a totally new lan-
guage, students succeeded
and classes prospered. Stepp
contrasted the eighteen people
in Spanish III with the three stu-
dents in that class the previous
year. She felt that the language
classes had great potential, be-
cause students were eager to
learn most of the time.
Enthusiasm for French and
Spanish carried over into club
life. The consolidated Foreign
Language Club broke into its
two nationalities, the French
Club and the Spanish Club.
Senior Paula Sowers was
pleased with the split, saying
that "Last year it was too hard
to do anything together. We
needed to be separated be-
cause of cultural differences."
Under the leadership of Pau-
la Sowers, the French club sold
cookies in decorative tins in
October. The money they
made helped subsidize their
travel to CongrBs and a trip to
Montreal.
Highlighting the year for the
Spanish club was a Columbus
day Spanish dinner, which
functioned as both a fundraiser
and a celebration. Teachers,
students, and parents partici-
pated in the Mexican hat
dance and enjoyed a wide vari-
ety of Spanish foods. Club
sponsor Catanzaro felt that the
club achieved its goal of in-
creasing school and communi-
ty awareness of Hispanic cul-
ture. For service projects the
club sponsored a third world
child and raised money for di-
saster victims around the
world. The club also looked
forward to a January trip to
Mexico. Foreign Languages/19

Mathcounts is a national
mathematics competition for
seventh and eighth graders.
Before competing on the na-
tional level, students first
have to participate on the
school, region, and state lev-
els. Last spring, the Math-
counts team consisted of
Captain Cindy Young, Cari
Gibbs, Kirstin Hale, Arlo
Pannell, Cornelia Mallory,
and Ezra Freeman.
In the regional competi-
tion the team took written
examinations on four kinds
of math. It was an all day af-
fair, with breaks between
tests. When the winners
were announced, Young's
team came away with third
place. Cornelia Mallory felt
that the win was remarkable,
"Because we had only pre-
pared for three weeks." Ezra
Freeman found the compe-
tition "Interesting!"

The Smell Was
the Best!
New Books Cause Excitement
Takela Perry
W hat's the best thing
about getting new math
textbooks? According to ge-
ometry student Trent Loseke, it
was "The new smell." Receivi-
ing the new books was an
event celebrated by students
and teachers. "They're much
better than the old books," said
Rob Vargo. "It took long
enough to get them. I though
they would never get here."
"The new books give you a real
challenge. I like them," contin-
ued Missy Montgomery.
Beginning a school year
without the books they had or-
dered did not dampen the spir-
its of math teachers Peter
McCall, Gloria Weber, and
Roy Silvers. They approached
students with a positive "you
can do it" attitude, which was
quickly adopted by their
classes. Senior Angie Walker
said, "I've liked all of my math
teachers. They made class in-
teresting and fun, and that
made me want to learn more."
Seniors also saw the value that
a good background in math
could have after high school
graduation. Doug Brumbaugh
summed it up: "Math will help
you get a high ranking job."
Middle school math was
taught by Dan Nass, Kathy
Young, and Cindy King. Nass
interested his class in math by
relating stories of his teaching
in five foreign countries. Eighth
grader Eric Lock said, "I like
the approach that the middle
school takes toward math."
Eric Riley said he would re-
member his math class for a dif-
ferent reason: "You get to

And the
Winner Is
The staff sat nervously around
a circular table in the ballroom
of the Hyatt Orlando. As
F.S.P.A. president Harry Sta-
pler handed out award after
award, their nervousness in-
creased. "We were already de-
pressed because we didn't
think we had won the on-the-
spot contest like we did the year
before," former editor Cady
West stated. "Then, when we
failed to place even third, we
though we might as well go
home."
When the Wavelength was
announced as winner of the
second place award, nervous-
ness transformed into chaos. "I
remember thinking how stupid
everyone looked when their pa-
pers received awards. They
screamed, yelled, and cried.
But when I heard our name, I
yelled, too," said present editor
Kyla Grogan.
Yearbook staffer Tract

award ceremony, commented,
"They were all crying, jumping,

even knocked over their

,
W jTe started the year
VVwith one goal in
mind-to make Wavelength
the absolute best it could be,"
commented newspaper editor
Kyla Grogan. The staff had a
major incentive to do so, since
the newspaper had received a
second place award in the Flor-
ida Scholastic Press Associ-
ation Miami Herald competi-
tion the previous May. Long
hours spent on layout and re-
writing copy made staff mem-
bers think another winning trip
to the F.S.P.A. was a possibility.
Adviser Vicki Clifford began
the year by testing each staff
member's abilities. The staff's
first assignment was to attend a
school football game and re-
port on any aspect of the game,
on the field or in the stands. "It
was an interesting beginning to
the year," Lee Ann Delaino re-
membered.
Clifford also concentrated
on training a layout crew. One
assignment, which involved
drawing mock layout sheets
from the front page of the
Gainesville Sun, was par-
ticularly effective in helping
the staff form an understanding
of trhe complexities of layout
and design.
New staff members were sur-
prised to find how much work
went onto the production of an
award winning newspaper. Jeff
Hazen commented, "There's
more to newspaper than just
reading it." Missy Hood ex-
plained, "Because I'd never
worked on a newspaper be-
fore, I really didn't know what
to expect. At first, I found all
the writing assignments hard.
Sports reporters Greg Turner and
Ben Allen check their grid sheets be-

Mrs. Clifford wants and needs

Hood.
Travel and competition
played a role in the newspa-
per's quest for excellence. The
staff was invited to attend the
prestigious Columbia Scholas-
tic Press Association conven-
tion in New York City, where
they could gather new layout
and copy ideas from top stu-
dent newspapers. Trips to St.

volved the staff in F.S.P.A. dis-

Although a few students
thought that the program had
no real importance other than
increasing their grade point
average, instructor John -Clif-
ford quickly pointed out that
the course had a sound pur-
pose. "Personal fitness is de-
signed to expose students to
the different vehicles involved
in keeping physically fit," Clif-
ford commented.
Life management skills, the
second part of the physical
education program, took place
in the classroom rather than in
the gym or on a playing field.
Students learned about rela-
tionships, sex, vocational train-
ing, and drugs. Clifford want-
ed students to develop and
enhance critical thinking skills.
Students learned to make
sound decisions and to take
positive actions for healthy liv-

High school students were

"Coach Clifford has made

Dr. Frank Bonaccorso
has over twenty leaf-
nosed bats. He has been
studying bats for sixteen
years since one of his pro-
fessors at the University
of Florida was working on
a problem of bat ecology.
Bonaccorso became in-
terested in the number of
different species of bats
that could exist in one
area. His interest took
him to Costa Rica where
he caught his first fruit bat
over the river Corobici.
Today Bonaccorso teach-
es seminars at the Florida
State Museum, trying to
educate people about the

positive effects bats have
on the earth. Through Dr.
Bonaccorso his students
have learned that when
bats eat the nectar of
flowering trees in a tropi-
cal forest they pollinate
female trees with the pol-
len which adheres to
their fur.
One of Dr. Bonaccorso's pet leaf-
nosed bats gets a feeding.
Pat LaDez, Sam Canto, Matt King,
and Dr. Becht discuss science projects
for the spring fair. Two members from
the school took their projects to the
state competition last year, winning
first place and third place awards.

Ms. Beauchamp's zero period
chemistry class at 7:15 a.m. in
an attempt to satisfy credit re-
quirements as quickly as possi-
ble. The early morning hour
popularized steaming cups of
coffee and on-the-run break-
fasts from Hardee's, McDon-
ald's, and Burger King. Stu-
dents were pleased that the
class was offered because it al-
lowed them to get an extra
credit toward graduation, but
found it hard to concentrate in
the wee hours of morning. "I'm
not a morning person; it's not
my learning style," comment-
ed Naomi Selove. Other stu-
dents found the class difficult
for different reasons. "I really
enjoy the class, but sometimes
it's hard to be really involved if
you've had a late night of
homework the night before,"
said Kirstin Pcpper. "Also, if
you don't drive you have to be
sure you have someone to take
you that early in the morning,"
Popper continued.
Department head Dr. Paul
Becht and high school teachers
Eve Singleton, Frank Bonac-
corso, and Lyn Whitlock did
the best job they could while
awaiting the building of the
new science wing. New credit
requirements caused the cur-
riculum to change somewhat,
moving biology into the tenth
grade year. "This might in-
crease the difficulty of biology,
but it also allows us to imple-
ment more labs," said Becht.
Middle school science
classes were taught by Nancy
Griffin and John Kenneson.
Students enjoyed the "hands
on" activities provided by the
class. Tiffany Gresh cited the
microscope portion of the class
as her favorite, "Because we
looked at different worms."
Oceanography was fun for
Larry Webb, "Because we got
all involved with water."
High School students
agreed that experiments and
projects were the best parts of
their classes. Heather Williams
was interested in the water tests
her ninth grade class per-
formed on water from the
creek, the tap, and the girl's
and boy's bathrooms. "The
cleanest was the tap water,"
Williams said. "The water in
the creek and in the girl's bath-
room was the dirtiest. It turned
yellow."
The Science Club and the
Computer Club were spon-
sored by the science depart-
ment. The clubs enjoyed tak-
ing field trips to the University
and participating in science
fairs and programming compe-
titions.

H ighly ranked in a poll of
favorite classes, social
studies courses enjoyed contin-
ued popularity with students.
The classes taught by depart-
ment head Dr. Wes Corbett,
Mac Duggans, Wade Ring and
middle school teacher Herb
Dupree were, according to
Danica Bernard, "A riot."
Due to the loss of two year
veteran teacher Mark Johnson,
the high school classes were di-
vided between Corbett and
Duggans. When asked to com-
ment about his students and his
increased work load, Duggans
replied, "If I had a gun ..."
then conceded that the best
thing about teaching at P.K.
Yonge was its students.
In addition to the required
classes of civics, world history,
and American history, P.K. also
hosted a psychology class that
met on Monday nights from
5:30 to 8:30. The course, spon-
sored by Santa Fe Community
College, gave credit as both a
high school course and a col-
lege course. Students in the
class ranged from high school
freshmen to college freshmen.
The attitude toward the class
was cheerful and optimistic.
Senior Paula Sowers summed
up the opinions of most stu-
dents: "The class is intellectual-
ly challenging and interesting.
I'm glad I took it." Principal
Chris Morris was also pleased
with the course. "It gives you
more choices in college, as
well as free college credit," she
said. "I'm for all of these
classes, as many as we can get.
I'm glad that we're making our
school available for the pro-
gram. I love it."
Middle school students in Mr. Du-
pree's class display a variety of meth-
ods of preparing for class.
Working out of the familiar red,
white, and blue civics book, John
Grantnam completes questions about
the law enforcement system. Students

Veteran teacher Wade Ring smiles
at the prospect of having a normal

007: "Never
Say
Communist
Again"
"Oh, he does great charac-
terizations," remarks guidance
counselor Dr. Nancy Baldwin
referring to civics teacher
Wade Ring. I fondly recall the
time in Civics class when he
broke out of the teacher mold
and turned into James Bond. It
was all there, the gun, the car,
the girl-well, maybe not the
girl. He made me like civics and
has done the same for a lot of
other reluctant students.
Though the teacher is a favor-
ite, the class was the subject of
much controversy, especially
among students who took the
class in upper grades. "I like
Mr. Ring and his class, although
I can do without the freshmen. I
think the class would be more
applicable on the junior or sen-
ior level," said senior Vicki Car-
denas. "The class tells you
about your rights and responsi-
bilities as an American citizen. I
think it would work better at a
higher grade because it teaches
you about voting.
Even though taking civics
means suffering through two se-
mesters with banna-berry bub-
ble-gum blowing freshmen, it
was worh it to work with Mr.
Ring.

Si ood afternoon! I'm

Blue Wave yearbook staff.
We'd like to offer you an op-
portunity to advertise in our
book. Since P.K. Yonge is the
University of Florida's lab
school, your ad will be seen by
many members of the Universi-
ty community," spouted Krista
Hair, one hot Tuesday after-
noon in early September.
Blue Wave staffers shook off
their nervousness and stilled
their knocking knees in a first
attempt to sell ads to finance
their yearbook. University reg-
ulations, which in the past had
prohibited the staff from ac-
cepting advertisements, were
lifted this year. Finding buyers
was often a physically exhaust-
ing task, as some students who
did not have cars walked the
hot sidewalks in the 950 Flor-
ida sun. Non-driver Christine
Thomas explained, "It's hard to
go into a business with sweat
pouring off your face and your
hair all limp and ask them
cheerfully to buy an ad from
you.

Monies raised from the ad
sales coupled with another first,
sales of the book itself, allowed
the staff to increase their book
from 128 pages to 192 pages.
Double page spreads could
now be given to every event,
sport, and subject. Yet another
first, a mini magazine in the stu-
dent life section, was possible
due to the 64 page increase.
With a majority of new staff
members, the first deadline for
the book was an eye-opening
experience. "About a week
before the deadline we had to
turn our layouts and copy into

through Central Park. As we
approached an apartment com-
plex with a greenish-colored
copper roof, our cabbie point-
ed to a spot on the sidewalk and
said, "Lookie there! That's
where John Lennon was shot
down." We all looked at each
other and said, "This has got to
be New York."
We arrived at our hotel, the
Milford Plaza. We knew some-
thing was up when a stewardess
told us the airlines had another
name for it-the Mildew Plaza.

things got a lot more hectic
than I ever thought they could
be. Even though we were pre-
pared, the deadline still
seemed to creep up on those of
us who hadn't done this be-
fore." Another new staff mem-
ber, Charles Clingensmith,
thought the yearbook room
was "pure chaos" near the ini-
tial deadline.
All staffers, new or old, en-
joyed the trips taken by the
yearbook. In September, the
staff attended the Florida Scho-
lastic Press Association District
2 workshop in St. Augustine.
There, adviser Susan Hardee
was elected district director. In
March the staff travelled to
New York City to take part in
the prestigious Columbia
Scholastic Press Association
convention, where they col-
lected trendy ideas from other
regions of the country. A trip to
F.S.P.A. state convention in
Orlando rounded out the year.

Team Has Own Style

The crew-cuts that
made P.K. baseball
players noticeable in
class last year had
grown out. No numbers
were shaved on the
sides of players' heads,
as was common during
football season. So what
made the varsity base-
ball team stand out? ...
Their performance on
the field.
Early into the season
Coach Bobby Hawkins
was optimistic about
games yet to come.
"We'll be a definite
contender," he said
"We've got a typical
'P.K.' team: good skill
and good attitude.
Through our freshmen
and j.v. programs we've
tried to develop a
strong varsity program.
So far it: '.orked."

Watching as a fellow team-
mate takes a third strike call,
Robbie Brunson shows only a
little concern. The"'. a d i r.i:.l
have much to worry about since
they defeated Williston for a
second time in the P.K. Invita-
tional.
Preparing for a new inning,
Greg Turner straps on shin pro-
tectors. Turner's extraordinary
catching combined with a total
team effort made a victory over
5-A Buchholz possible.
Playing For
Pledges
"Will you pledge
me please?" David
Willis asked a fresh-
man. "The baseball
team is raising money
for equipment," he
added. "Get outta
here man," Michael
Poole interrupted as
he knocked David out
of the way. "You
promised to sponsor
me yesterday, remem-
ber? Get outta here!"
he said laughing, as he
pushed David again to
keep him at bay.
Students fell victim
to this scene during
the beginning of Feb-
ruary. Varsity baseball
players were frantic to
sign as many pledges
as possible. The play-
ers, joined parents in a
fifty inning fundraiser
which was the basis for
their need of pledges.
The funds were
used to buy equip-
ment and make field
improvements possi-
ble. Dug outs were up-
graded, bleachers
bought and clay pur-
chased with the team's
profits.

S winging into
Action
Danny Meade and Amanda Bliss
Starting the season with
an invitational tourna-
ment at Ocala Van-
guard, the junior varsity base-
ball team had the opportunity to
show their stuff. Although the
team was not favored to do well,
sharp pitching and swinging
brought them to the champion-
ship game after defeating Van-
guard 5-4 and then Dunnellon
17-9. P.K. moved on to play
Marion High School in the
championship game, but they
were defeated by the powerful
team.
"I thought the team per-
formed well, considering it was
their first game with only a few
practices," stated sophomore,
Danny Hall.
"I think we had better talent
last year, but this year's team is
better because we don't give up
and we play as a team," stated
player Chris Pisarri. The team
practiced batting and catching
every day after school.
During the beginning of the
season J.V. players spent much
Lyle Livengood, Matt
Reimer, John Gelatt, John No-
bles, Daniel Smith, Chris Moon,
E.J. Delaino, Adam Parlapiano,
David Teply, Brian Gindy,
of their time working on the
field for an up-coming tourna-
ment. Team members could be
seen re-constructing bleachers,
painting the dugouts, and mow-
ing the fields. "It was a lot of
hard work, but we had fun,"
stated Matt Reimer. P.K. Yonge
was host for an Invitational Um-
pire's Tournament honoring the
umpires of the area, held March
2-7.
To keep the basefield "look-
ing good" players spent occa-
sional weekends "fixing up"
the field.
During the tournament, J.V.
players were designated to
work at the games. Their jobs
were to run the concession
stand, chase foul balls, and to
prepare the field between
games. They were also respon-
sible for running the score-
board and announcing the
games. "You get to watch the
game and the things we do are
needed to be done by some-
one," stated freshman, Matt
Rowe.

The freshman team
was playing to learn bet-
ter baseball skills. There
were three main objec-
tives in the ninth grade
baseball program. One
was to get the middle
schoolers interested in
playing baseball; the sec-
ond was to become ac-
customed to playing on a
regulation-size diamond;
and the third and most
important "is for the kids
to have a good time," ac-
cording to varsity coach,
Bob Hawkins.
"We're out there to
have fun and try to win
some games while we're
at it," stated freshman,
Matt Rowe.
The ninth grade
coaches were Dr. Ed
Turner and Mr. Dave
Stoner. The coaches
were stressing the basic
fundamentals for the
team.

S ome of them called
themselves "the
Celtics" while others had
nicknames like "Joe O,"
sometimes pronounced
just as "O," Sohn "Moon
man Moon" Moon (or just
Moondog), and "Small"
Paul Williams, "The
Man." The boys' basket-
ball team was tall on char-
acter in more than one
way but short on exper-
ience.
The team started the
year with a few setbacks.
They had only two play-
ers with varsity exper-
ience, Paul Williams and
Greg Turner. Then hard
luck hit early with the loss
of Greg Turner due to
ankle injury after only
three games. That and
the permanent loss of two
other players due to ineli-
gibility left the team with
only six or seven players
going to practice or
games at any one time.
"With only six players or
so there for a while it
would have been real
easy to give up but we
never really got down on
ourselves so we pulled
through," commented
Danny Meade about the
temporary shortage of
players.
"This season w..as def.i
.rntely one of rebuilding.
Our basic overall prob-
lem was lack of exper-
ience but we went into
every game trying to win;
we never gave up. That
was what I was trying to
instill in them, charac-
ter," said Coach Mac
MacCray.
Coach MacCray said
he had high expectations
for the team but all of
them didn't c:.-*:m
through. His :joatl '.-. a t:
try to build a ;tr.nr r te.arn
for next year. Wi'ith the
addition of a few other
players who came out
midway through the sea-
son the team ended up
with ten members. Six of
those players were sen-
iors which left MacCray
with four players who
had full time -.,arsii- ex-
perience. "I brought up a

tricts to give those guys

'Oh my gosh! Those
girls are good!' Is what
everyone yelled when
they saw the girl's varsity
basketball team in action.
The Lady Wave had
come a long way, since
the days of Joani Bowles,
Holly Wilcox, Toni Lee,
and the rest of the 1982
state champions. They
won their Suwannee
Conference two years in
a row, and planned to
continue that winning
streak.
The whole team con-
sisted of only eight play-
ers, sometimes dwindling
as low as four due to in-
jury and fouls. Even with
such a small number, the
team defeated a tough
Newberry squad.
Cacynthia Lock, a for-
ward, remembering har-
dest games were against
Williston Red Devils and
Keystone Heights Indians
because "They (every-
one) put pressure on us
by saying, this is the num-
ber one team, and to get
the recognition you want,
you had to beat the two
teams."
Three year guard, Ravon
Williams said Il-.a t it t:.l
a, "Good attitude on the
court with the team play-
ers, cooperation, and a to
know that you can win at-
titude, and doing your
best at all times," is what it
takes to be the best team
a team can be.
Chieiflar-,J, to Ravon
was the hardest game,
because there were only
five players, and no re-
lievers.
Patricia Williams, for-
ward, felt that ',~'lliht.:.r
and Keystone were the
hardest teams to play. In
both meetings against
Williston they lost, but
found strength to defeat
them 58 to 48 for the Su-
wannee Conference Ti-
tle. Dixie County and
long time rival, -- atiid--
High, were the two easi-
est teams, a::.::rdin:j to
Williams. The a.'a. es
drowned the Rams twice,
once 47 to 29-and
again 33 to 2'.

Do you think female
athletes get as much
respect as male ath-

Jabal Uffleman: Yes, be-
cause girls are putting
forth more effort than
most boys by joining
school sports, so they are
better respected.
Karen Strobles: No, be-
cause it's not as publi-

The days may have been
hot and humid, the air
may have been heavy, but the
cross country team never failed
to show up for their daily prac-
tices. "I've never run so hard,"
said the girls team captain
Rhonda Ray, referring to the
grueling practices. But Ray
continued, "When our teams
win a meet, it makes it all worth-
while."
The team enjoyed a much
larger support system than in
years past. Fans turned out at
every meet to cheer the run-
ners on. "It was great hearing
the people yell for you," said
Kao Westley, echoing the
team's -- in l-=nr- about hav-
ing fan turnout. Fans did not
find their job hard, since the
runners experienced repeated
successes throughout the sea-
son.
Coaches Roy Silvers and
Frank Reguero directed both
the boys' and the girls' teams.
"With this being our first full
team in a few years, it was nice
to see the two teams put out so
much effort and work so well
together," said Coach Silvers.
The effort paid off when the

boys placed first in the three

close second place in the two
mile run for the conference.
The scores made the teams

There was a disappointment
in the generally good season,
however. In the district meet,

The teams ended the season
with a happy reflection on their

all hard work. We had a lot of
crazy times on the way to meets
and even at some practices,"
runner Herschel Johnson com-
mented.

John Lassiter gives Mark Steen
a last minute tip. Lassiters famil-
iarity to the team helped morale
and enthusiasm.
It was a night to be re-
membered. The junior
varsity football team had
won their first game
against Hawthorne. It ap-
peared as though their
season would be exciting
and better than in pre-
vious years.
Unfortunately, it was
not to be that way. De-
spite the teams 13-6 rout
of Hawthorne, and a for-
feit by Cross City, the
winning streak never
came. The following
games were close in
score, but the Blue Wave
remained on the bottom
every time.
In games against the
Keystone Heights Indians
and the Newberry Pan-
thers, the offense was un-
able to succeed even
with the all out efforts of
fullback Todd Sullivan
and tailback Michael
Hudson. Fumbles and
technical errors plagued
the teams last games
against the Union County
Tigers, the Chiefland In-
dians, and the Williston
Red Devils.
Coach Cecil Barnes
felt that the team was in-
consistent. "Also, injuries
hurt us a lot in the later
games," Barnes added.
Even though the season
was disappointing,
Barnes remained opti-
mistic about next year,
believing that success
would come if the team
had a better variety of
players. Players admitted
that personal feelings
added to the complica-
tions on the team. Berdell
Knowles said, "We had
pretty good coaches. We
just didn't get along that
good." The team mem-
bers agreed that the
coaches were very en-
couraging. "Coach
Barnes was very support-
ive of all his players,"
commented Justin Titus.

For many years the
boys soccer team
flourished because of a
number of talented play-
ers who have since
graduated. Their names
echoed throughout the
halls and younger stu-
dents used them as role
models. It was as if those
few were born to play
soccer; consequently
they were envied by
many and the soccer
team reached new
heights. Although their
departure was depicted
to be disastrous, the ex-
perience was leaving,
but not the talent.
The soccer team start-
ed under the shadow of
the previous year. The
memories of those before
them loomed in their
mind and boosted their
morale. The team was de-
termined to live up to the
expectations of fans.
They lacked experience,
but possessed raw talent,
drive, and a desire to win.
The key word to their suc-
cess was improvement.
They used their abilities
to their fullest capability.
The long hours at prac-
tice working endlessly on'
kicks and strengthening
their endurance finally
paid off when the season
started.
The team played a vari-
ety of opponents of equal
capability, but in most
cases they were able to
rally and score enough
goals to win or at least tie.
Coach Ted Giesel led the
team into victories over
large schools like Cocoa
Beach, Middleburg,
Ocala, Forest, Ocala
Vanguard, Florida High,
and Tampa Berkley. His
time, interest, and devo-
tion towards the team was
welcomely returned by
the members in sweat
and bruises. "I felt he was
a pretty good coach" stat-
ed goalie Travis Loseke.
Despite the looming
memories of the great
members of yesteryears,
the boys soccer team was
able to find hidden tal-
ents and keep the win-
ning tradition. With the
experience gained this
year, the future looked
bright for the soccer
team.
It is the last half of the
game and your team is
leading at the moment.
Adrenalin flows through-
out your body, preparing
it for the next offensive at-
tack. Suddenly, the ball is
passed to you. You're
running down the field,
concentrating on scoring
when suddenly your face
is in the dirt, eyes sting-
ing, and knees bruised.
You realize that you have
just fallen victim to an in-
jury, an athlete's worst
nightmare.
Injuries plague all
types of athletes and they

The pampering and cod-
dling received after a
torn muscle or a broken
leg is nice, but does not
last forever. Soon the
spirit of competition re-
surfaces and the desire to
play becomes over-
whelming. "It is an inter-
nal instinct for all athletes
to want to play and sports
related injuries only be-
come a source of frustra-
tion," said Holly Ohan-
ian. The injuries are
constantly discussed re-
garding their physical
harm, but very rarely is
the emotional aspect con-
sidered. Lee Ann De-

hat Does Spring Bring?
Krista Hair
W hen spring rolled
around so did the
softball and track teams.
Both teams had good rea-
son to catch the proverbi-
al spring fever. For soft-
ball, there was a new
addition. Along with
many new players there
was a new coach, Joan
Kaywell. Kaywell had
been playing softball for
over ten years. Teams
she'd played on included
the Tampa Gremlins, the
Honeybees of Lakeland
and a local team, Conti-
nental Waters of Gaines-
ville. Kaywell was excited
about her coaching posi-
tion. "I love it! They have
hearts as big as the school
and work superhard,"
she said she wanted to
build the program by de-
veloping good skills,
sportsman-like behavior
and team comraderie.
She would have liked to
see the addition of du-
gouts and new bleachers.
One thing that the
team had to deal- ih ..
inexperience even
though there were twen-
ty-one players. "With a
new coach and team, it's
a big adjustment," ex-
plained senior Cathy
Beckham. Kaywell con-
sidered the infield to be
one of the team's strong
points because of the to-
getherness that existed.
Like softball, the P.K.
track team also had many
new members. "We only
had a handful of athletes
last year. This year we
have a good turnout not
just in quantity but in
quality which should
translate into several vic-
tories along the way," ex-
plained Coach Frank Re-
guero. "With more
people, we have a base to
build on," stated junior
Holly Ohanian.
Occasionally the team
used the University of
Florida's facilities be-

cause of the shape P.K.'s

plained Reguero, "It re-
quires scheduling addi-
tional practicing time
along with the inconve-
nience of transporta-
tion."
While practicing the
team tried to focus on
conditioning and techni-
cal fine points. The team

Allen Brown prepares to dive
off the pedistal. Allen practices
for the district meets, in which
the team placed 13th.
A record number of
students came out
for the swim team, which
enabled the team to give
large area schools some
tough competition. A
year of change saw not
only the increase in size
but also the increase of
team spirit and depth of
skill.
Under the direction of
coaches Albert Mestre
and Bobby Laugherty,
swimmers had two hours
of practice each day for
two months. The practice
was evident as the team
placed "hirt.-erlh in the
district meet. Individual
swimmers Erika Francis,

Amanda Bliss
Jeremy Legg, and diver
Stacey Blankenship
placed well in districts
and qualified for state

Team member Christy
Francis said she was
grateful that "This year
we can finally compete
with and beat our area ri-
vals." On first impression
swimmers knew this year
was going to be special.
"From the minute the
whole team got together I
could tell we were going
to have a great time and
that this year would be a
great year of swimming,"
Shelli Haynes said.
Sponsor Eleanor Lo-
seke said the team was
"A terrific bunch of kids.
In fact, I can easily say
they're the best kids I've
every worked with."
Two team members re-
ceived much recognition
for their performances. A
one woman diving team,
Stacey Blankenship
placed fourth in state
competition and hoped
to win state next year.
Star swimmer Jeremy
Legg, a senior, regretted
that he was leaving the
team. "But the team is
young and will be really
good in years to come,"
said swimmer Allen
Brown.

IT e Speak When
VV Unavoidable'
Danica Bernard
T he tennis team had
grown since last
year's team of eight play-
ers. They lost two seniors
from last year, but gained
freshmen, three sopho-
mores, two juniors, and
three seniors. With the
expansion of the team,
Coach Betsy Creveling
decided that there were
enough girls players for a
J.V. team, for the first time
in a long while. "It gives
people who haven't
played that much tennis a
chance to progress, so
they can play better next
year," claimed Tony Bar-
ret, the first seed for boys
varsity. "You have more
of a team feeling with the
J.V." said third seed Lau-
ra Zuckerburg.
Some of the people
who were on the team
had never picked up a
racket in their lives, let
alone played an actual
game with anyone. Oth-
ers, had been playing
since they were about
twelve years old. Coach
Jumping with the serve Bri-
an Barrett scores a point against
his team mate Dawn Richard-
son.
Creveling was confident
though, that everyone
had that P.K. spirit which
made them give it their
all. "I want to make this
the best year we've ever
had," said Coach Crevel-
ing.
The team as a whole
seemed to get along well.
"We speak to each other
when its unavoidable: no,
just kidding, we really
have fun" said Zeba Solo-
mon, "I remember that
last year we had a wet
sock fight. It was really
gross. We all took off our
socks and started to
throw them in everyone
face."
Trained to keep her eyes on
the ball, Kelly Fey anticipates
returning a serve in practice.

A Swinging
Position
Playing tennis comes easy
to Tony Barrett, who has
been playing since the sev-
enth grade. "It's a lot of fun
and I enjoy the competitive
nature of the sport." Tony,
who is also on the soccer
team, has been on the tennis
team for the past three
years. He is also one of the
two seniors on the team. He
holds the first seed position,
while his brother, Brian,
holds the position right be-
hind him. "Competing for
first position is tough, you
have to practice with and
play against people who are
better than you. And," he
continued, "this year it's
even harder because we
have more people than ever
before."

Beginnings
Michelle Ross
H ardwork, dedica-
tion, and encour-
agement were three key
words which described
the attitude of the weight-
lifting team. "You have to
be dedicated to achieve
in weightlifting." said
freshman Matt Rowe.
Their hard work showed
in their meets, especially
for the team members
who made it to state.
Greg Linzmeyer and
C'hris. Moon attended the
meet in Hawthorne, and
placed eighth and elev-
enth respectively in their
division. "State was great
until I got killed." said ju-
nior Chris Moon.
The team was not victo-
rious at all their meets,
however, but they did
achieve many impressive
personal records and
broke many longstand-
ing school records.
Front: Coach Roy Silvers,
Greg Linzmayer, Danny Bre-
dahl, Jabal Uffleman, David
Teply, Middle: Rob Vargo, Mi-
chael Walker, Thys Ouderland,
Doug Calderwood, Danny
Meade, E.J. Delaino. Back:
Omar Singleton, Mike Linz-
mayer, Chris Moon, Ian Calder-
wood, Tracy James, Joe Mark-
ham.
Although 90 percent
of the team had a little or
no experience, the veter-
ans helped to hold the
team together. "The vet-
erans are the backbone
of the team." said Coach
Roy Silvers.
Chris Moon was one of
the 'veteran' team mem-
bers who went to state
this year. This was Chris's
second year on the team.
Chris really liked the in-
dividualism of weightlift-
ing." It's a lot different
from other sports. It's
more individualized, so
you can do well on your
own. Mistakes by other
team members don't real-
ly affect how you do."
Chris also had advice
for athletes of other
sports, "joining the team
helps for other sports, be-
cause it makes you stron-
ger, and being stronger
makes the rougher sports
easier."
You don't have to be
able to lift a lot to join the
team, because once you
start working, you'll get a
lot better." Moon said.

Try-outs for the varsity
cheerleading squad had
a twist. Those trying out
were given scores-as in
years before-but nu-
merical values in areas
considered were
changed. Scores from
the skill evaluation were
no longer the primary
point area. Scores here
made up only 120 points
(one third) of the cumula-
tive score. The remaining
240 points depended on
teacher recommenda-
tions and grades.
The changes in scoring
changed the squad's
look. A few new girls
made the squad while
girls with cheerleading
experience did not.
Some negative reactions
took place after try-outs.
Students who did not
make the squad, and
even some who did, felt
cheated. However, the
squad's achievements:

Everyone is an expert at something. Mi-
chelle Harden demonstrates a perfect toe-
touch to the squad before a basketball
game against the Williston Red Devils.
"Toe touches are easy for me," Michelle
said. "It's my best jump, so I've worked on
it a lot."
Stunts, jumps, and cheers demand
flexibility. Tina Gelatt makes sure she is
thoroughly stretched out before perform-
ing. "The squad doesn't have a problem
with pulled or stretched muscles like other
squads, because we know how to warm
up," Gelatt said.

Waking up at 6:30 was for-
eign to most students over the
summer, but from July 28 to
July 31 the junior varsity cheer-
leaders did just that. They at-
tended the United Cheerlead-
ing Association's summer
camp at Jacksonville Universi-
ty. Thier days were filled with
improvement clinics, instruc-
tional classes, and competi-
tions. "Getting up at 6:30
wasn't bad. It was all we did
after we got up that was hard."
Kim Robertson said, "Yeah,"
added Heather Lewis, "we
never stopped. It was straight
from one thing to another.
But," she said with a smile, "I
guess it was worth it."
Heather was referring to the

overcame the odds and won
nine ribbons and one trophy.
The ribbons, eight of which
were for superior perfor-
mance, came from daily com-
petitions. But on the final day of
camp, the squad showed their
total ability and walked off with
the overall best trophy. "We
worked hard every day, but the
last day was definitely the har-
dest and scariest. It was the
most fun, too," said Tristana
Hewett. "Beating the snobby

Camp
Champions
Eaglerly awaiting
tryouts for the junior var-
sity cheerleading squad,
eighth and ninth grade
girls suffered through the
month of April. Try outs,
to their dismay, consisted
of three elements: teach-
er recommendation, aca-
demic grade, and skill
evaluation. The skill eval-
uatioh offered the most
pressure. Candidates
went through two weeks
of practice to prepare
themselves for it. Contes-
tants were required to
perform an individual
cheer, a group cheer, a
chant, a partner stunt,
jumps, and a dance. ,"I
was super nervous be-
cause it was such a big
deal," said Liza Bush. "In
about ten minutes you ei-
ther made it or you
didn't."
Try outs were particu-
larly important since the
squad had only one re-
turning member, captain
Tina Gelatt. Heather Wil-
liams was voted co-cap-
tain after the squad was
selected. The thirteen
new cheerleaders began
practice immediately
after try outs to prepare
for spring football jambo-
ree. Each week the girls
logged at least three
hours of practice time.
For many people,
spending so much time
together would lead to
frazzled nerves and petty
irritations. The squad,
however, had few prob-
lems in getting along.
"We were a team," Mi-
chelle Harden comment-
ed. "A lot of people say
stuff about cheerleaders
like we're just playing
around, but we were a
team. Like football play-
ers or whatever, we got
along like a team. We
supported each other
and laughed a lot. Some-
times we argued, but not
too much," Harden con-
tinued.
Cheering for football
and basketball games
made for hectic sched-
ules. "Between home-
work, practices, and
games it felt like we were
always going," said Tris-
tana Jewett. Since their
schedule spanned two
sport seasons, the squad
was active longer than
any other sport.

Death and Rebirth
Of A Tradition
Because of the yearbook's
increased involvement in var-
ious Scholastic Press associ-
ations, many changes occurred
in this year's book. The year-
book staff attended workshops
and conventions directed to-
ward helping improve the
book. They were taught what
things to include: important
changes and events that year;
and what to exclude: repetition
of facts, posed shots, boring
news stories, uncaptioned pic-
tures and baby pictures. Baby
pictures? Could it be that our
tradition was boring? That no
one really cared anyway? The
staff soon found out. They
changed that! Dump the kiddie
shots. However, the student re-
sponse brought about the res-
urrection of a tradition.
The following responses
were typical of those received
by the staff from angry stu-
dents:
"That isn't fair. Its the fun-
niest part of the annual."
Rhonda Ray
"That's stupid, why don't we
just not have a senior section at
all?"
Kyla Grogan
"That is unfair, after all my
hard work."

Every class has its clowns,

The senior class once again
honors those who for whatever
reason shine on their own by
enducting them into the Senior
Hall of Fame. It has been a tra-
dition which continues to thrive
as students are nominated by
their peers for the honorary
categories. It is an opportunity
to recognize those seniors with
school spirit, humorous jokes
and outstanding potential. The
Senior Hall of Fame is a school
tradition which spurred from a
love of laughter and the gift of
gab.

The
Beginning
It was thirteen years ago
when we came to this place
called school. It was a place
that was suppose to be fun, or
at least that's what our parents
told us. Naturally we trusted
them and didn't worry about it
until the first day came.
Walking down that long hall-
way filled with the sound of
children's high pitched chat-
ter, we approached the first
day of school. Everything
looked so unfamiliar and unin-
viting. We held on to our moms
hand for dear life, thinking if
we passed through that door-
way we would die of fright.
There was that lump in our
throats that began to make our
eyes water but we swallowed
bravely and next thing we
knew we were in the middle of
a room looking at all the
strange faces. Turning around
for reassurance, we noticed
our moms were gone. We
walked slowly towards our
seats. We never thought those
faces would ever become fa-
miliar sights and the day
seemed like it would never
end.
Remember ...

wine with my hamburger?" questions

On November 20, the sen-
iors set the trend for a
new tradition with the first an-
nual senior seminar. The class
went to Paynes Prarie to spend
the day away from the usual
hectic campus. Approximately
75 out of the 84 students pre-
pared to enjoy a day filled with
learning, games, walks, and a
feast of foreign foods.
"It was much better than I
expected. It was amazing that
our unspirited class actually
did something original and had
fun," said the chief organizer
and senior class president
Rhonda Ray.
The day began with a divi-
sion of students into four
groups. Each group spent
roughly thirty minutes listening
to one of the four speakers on a
variety of subjects, such as date
rape, stress management tech-
niques, planned parenthood,
and BACCHUS.
After the rotation of speakers
the seniors took on a look of
excitement as they quickened
their pace toward the picnic
area. "It was awesome, with all
the food that was there we
could eat almost anything we
craved," said Brent Riley.
There were four tables set up
with Mexican, Italian, tradition-
al, and dessert-type foods.
As the day went on, the sen-
iors took advantage of the
beautiful outdoor surround-
ings and outrageously clear,
sunny sky. Once the pinata was
broken students were given
the opportunity to do a variety
of things, such as play volley-
ball, football, dancing, taking a
tour of the prarie, walking on
some near-by trails, or finding
a cozy spot by the breezy lake.
The day ended at 3:15 pm
when the buses came upon the
P.K. Yonge parking lot and the
seniors were once again forced
to take on the task of responsi-
bility.

Food

Friends
It was December 19th and all
the seniors prepared to
gather in Mrs. Dean's room for
an event, planned to be the
best holiday gathering since
senior seminar day. The tables
were covered with festive
cloths, the chairs were ar-
ranged and the food was set.
The fourth period English class,
as hosts, decorated the room in
preparation for over one hun-
dred guests.

As the bell rang the students
flocked in along with faculty,
administrators and returning
'85 and '86 alumni. The room
was full of cheer and excite-
ment as old friends were re-
united.
The food was provided by
the senior class and covered a
wide variety of sidedishes as
well as desserts. The ham and
turkey was provided by fourth
period advanced placement

The purpose of the dinner
was for the senior class to get
together and share some
memories before they dis-
persed to the various corners of
the world to seek their fortunes.
A special thanks to Mrs. Nan-
cy Dean who helped organize,
motivate and tolerate the sen-
ior class of 1987. We appreci-
ate everything you've done for
us.

R member .. That first
day of school. It was
tough but we lived through it
and thirteen more years. Those
strange faces turned to ones we
loved. We were together
through the bumps, scratches,
crushes, and heartbreaks. We
grew to depend on each other
for support when we thought
we'd never get through it. We
shared the petty first secrets of
who had a crush on who, the
first person we kissed and those
that later seemed most intense;
first loves and fights.
We didn't think the pres-
sures of school, friends, lovers,
and parents would be so great
on that first day of school, but
we held on to each other to
keep our heads above water.
We made it! But that was only
one milestone of our lives. Now
we had to say good-bye to
those friends, we had to tackle
the world on our own. We said
good-bye and good luck, and
remembered the thirteen
years.

A new approach to stu-
dent government, advi-
sory group representa-
tives, helped to improve
school spirit and partici-
pation spirit raising ac-
tivities. The representa-
tives were the eyes, ears,
and voices of their peers.
They reported back to
their advisory groups on
all school activities, and
informed them about fu-
ture events. They stated
the opinions of their fel-
low classmates.
There were eight elev-
enth grade representa-
tives in student council.
They were Robyn Brock-
ington, Christy Camp-
bell, Lesa Cooper, Jona-
than David, Lee Ann
Delaino, Shelli Haynes,
Darcy Masson, and Ken-
ric Young. Each repre-
sentative responded to
the question: Do you feel
your class as a whole is
more informed due to the
new system of represen-
tatives from every adviso-
ry?
Lee Ann Delaino: Yes,
since there is a place for
you to go to get school
information. It's a class
where teachers know
you're going to be every-
thing.
Jonathan David: Yes,
you get more informed.
Robyn Brockington:
No, because not all of the
representatives are re-
porting back to their
groups.
Shelli Haynes: Yes, I go
back and tell them what
happened in student
council.
Lesa Cooper: Yes, be-
cause some people didn't
know what was going on
last year, and now they're
more informed about
school.
Darcy Masson: Yes.
Otherwise, they'll just
find out about it through
the grapevine, and not
really know what's going
on.
Kenric Young: It's all
right.
Christy Campbell: I
think there's more par-
ticipation throughout the
school because they're
better informed.
people enjoy the end re-
sult."
Vice President Bishop
ran because she liked to
be involved in what went
on in her school. She
hoped to organize a ser-
vice project, and to raise
school spirit.
Dolbier got involved in
student government be-
cause "Our school was
small enough that I could
get to know most of the
people." She also had
planning the prom as her
top priority.
Treasurer Ohanian
picked her post "In order
to have a say in what the
junior class did." She felt
that all the officers were
serious about their posi-
tions and were doing a
good job.

College Bound?
College plans were not
only on the minds of sen-
iors, but of sophomores
also. Ninety five percent
of the sophomores sur-
veyed said they planned
to attend a college or uni-
versity after graduation.
Matt Reimer, summing
up the feelings of class-
mates who knew they
would attend college but
hadn't selected a school,
said he would go to "Any
college that will take
me.
Guidance counselor
Jerry Thompson said de-
ciding on colleges was
not a theme of the tenth
grade, but eleventh
grade centered around
the search for the right
school. "All tenth graders
don't need to worry
about which college to
go to," Thompson said.
112/Sophomores
"Wait until your eleventh
grade year to decide."
Thompson also said that
college is a disadvantage
only if you're in college
and want to do some-
thing else. "It's a very
broadening experience.
If you're not planning on
going to college, you
should do some serious
planning-for jobs after
graduation, for some-
thing productive."
College in the minds of
sophomores were:
University of Florida
Emory
Vanderbilt
University of Alabama
University of Alaska
Eckerd College

Cohesive Class Creates
Fundraiser
What was this year's
sophomore class really
like? Teachers and stu-
dents gave their opin-
ions, which were mixed,
but leaned toward the
positive side.
Guidance counselor
Dr. Nancy Baldwin felt
that "The class is really an
interesting group of indi-
viduals and appears to
have good leadership. It
looks as if there will be
good scores in this
group-National Merit
Scholars!"
History teacher Mac
Duggins thought the
class was one of the best.
Duggins said, "This class
is the nicest group of indi-
viduals assembled in one
place. I am very fond of
this group. I wish them
the best of everything in
the future. Students con-
centrated on different
features of the class. "I
like us, but I wish we
would get together and
plan a class trip or some-
thing. We talk about a lot
of things, but nothing has
come together yet," said
Christine Thomas. Andy
McLaughlin said the
class was unique because
of its cohesiveness. "You
have your groups like in
any school-trendies,
punks, jocks, and all. But
there's a lot of interaction
between the groups, no
one goes out of their way
to be rude to someone
who looks or acts differ-
ently than them."
The class did come to-
gether to create a new
fundraiser, Pop-A-Bal-
loon. Instead of the tradi-
tional carnations or can-
dy sold at Christmas, they
sold red and green bal-
loons containing mes-
sages to faculty and stu-
dents. The money that
was collected went to-
ward a class activity.
Many students hoped the
activity would pan out.

meant shaky nerves and
stomachs filled with butterflies.
They began their trip to school
as highschoolers, who, for the
first time, had a name-fresh-
men!
A world of new opportuni-
ties opened up to the fresh-
men. There were clubs and
elective classes. There were so-
cial opportunities like never
before. "I think there's a lot
more cliquishness now than we
had in middle school," fresh-
man Erika Francis commented.

"The classes are harder, but
the teachers are nice. I even
joined the Spanish club."
Freshmen experienced a
feeling of school involvement
unknown to them before. "This
year-well, last year-I finally
got to try out for cheerleading.
Now I feel like a real part of my
school," said Michelle Harden.
"Plus, we got to vote on the
homecoming court and got to
know a new group of people."
Harden said the problem of
cliques didn't bother her. "I
don't worry too much about it,
except you want the seniors to
like you," she said.
Freshmen were especially
visible at Hi-Tide. They acted
in many of the skits. They deco-
rated the football field for the
homecoming game, and did
such a good job that the upper-
classmen took note. "The field
looked really terrific. I was im-
pressed," said senior Patricia
Moser. Getting a compliment
from a senior doesn't come
easy, so the freshmen were
sure their efforts had been suc-
cessful.
Literally "hanging around," Tere-
sa Williams, Shannon Sutton, Kristen
Swindler, Heather Lewis, and Jane
Harris spend their lunch time on a tree
branch near the cafeteria. Abundant
foliage on campus attracted break tak-
ers in warm weather, provided a swarm
of bees was not nearby.
Returning from their civics class
in the library, Meghna Patel and Ana
Lavagnino head to their lockers. Stu-
dents were glad when the renovation
of the civics room was complete and
they could return to a normal class-
room.

said. Her composure disguised
her nervousness. A talented

was happy. H.Fpr:,.'. men and
women went to work and came
home to their happy families.
Happy children tooled around
on their skateboards until one
day-Bar! The skateboards
were banned.
If this sounds familiar, it's be-
cause it happened here, too.
Suddenly, skateboards were
not allowed anywhere on cam-
pus. Students opposed the
rule. They cited lack of trans-
portation, violation of personal
rights, and oppression as rea-
sons for their uproar.
"We've always had a rule re-
garding skateboarding on
campus," the administrators
said. So did, it seemed, the Uni-
versity; skateboards were not
supposed to be allowed on
sidewalks or walkways any-
where on campus. Since P.K.
was a part of the University, the
rule was applied here as well.
Compromises, deals, and
peace treaties were attempted,
but the administration was firm
in their position. Teachers even
offered to keep their students
skateboards during the day,
but to no avail. "We just can't

take responsibility for two or
three hundred dollars worth of
skateboards," principal Chris
Morris said.
Few people knew that an ac-
cident involving a skateboard
occurred right in front of the
University Police Department
headquarters. Police publicity
about the mishap and restate-
ment of the rule about skate-
boards caused the admminis-
tration to clamp down on
skateboarders here.
"Our skateboards are like
our cars," said protester Chris
Parks. Car or not, the decision
stood.
The rule is inane. The Uni-
versity Police Department
made a rule that skateboarding
is prohibited on the U.F. cam-
pus, yet they do nothing to en-
force it. That makes it meaning-
less. U.P.D. asked P.K. not to
allow skateboards at school.
They should be allowed to be
brought to school because they
are used as transportation. To
keep people from riding them
on P.K. campus, have a stiff
penalty.
Chris Prugh
Ignoring the rule, a solitary skater
continues to push his luck.

When The Wave
Needs Water ...
Danica Berrard
During a football game, who
is always ready to supply the
team with towels and fresh
balls? Who brings the water for
thirsty players at a moments no-
tice? The water boys. They do a
little bit of everything.
Eighth graders Chris Doer-
ing and Scott Stoner were the
co-managers and co-water
boys for the football team. They
found their job demanding but
also very rewarding. "People
think water boys just carry wa-
ter to the players," Doering
said. "Anyone who thinks that
obviously hasn't been down on
the sidelines, he continued.
"We have to make sure every-
thing is perfect. Water boys
take the heat for everything,"
Stoner said; "er l.. ti- i it inr1, ,
our fault.
Water boys had to be .alrt
through the whole game Lbe-
cause they might have missed a
signal from the coach or from a
player. Besides serving water,
getting towels and tossing
balls, they explained what was
going on to the yearbook pho-
tographer who knew very little
about football. "See that sign
over there with the two on it?"
they told her, "That means
we're on our second down. We
get four downs."
Close bonds developed be-
tween the water boys and the
team. Jeff Hazen, wide receiv-
er, said, "They work hard and
really do a good job. We ap-
preciate them." Stoner com-
mernt- "The',' depend on us.

football team, and said a season
of playing had given him some
experience for next year.
The highlight of the season
to both Doering and Stoner
was the surprise win over tenth
ranked Hamilton County. "The
players were hysterical, and so
were we. Thats what makes
what we do worthwhile," they
concluded.

I Dream
Of Genie
Danica Bernard
The season was fall, the
time Halloween. The mid-
dle school was buzzing with ex-
citement because the Hallow-
een dance was approaching.
Prime Time groups were hav-
ing a costume contest. Mrs.
Kathy Youngs Prime Time se-
cretly voted to have Eric Riley
as their candidate in the con-
test. The class told Eric of his
new position, which he cooly
accepted until he found out
that he would have to dress up
in Erica Randall's genie cos-
tume. "A what? A genie was
Riley's reaction. "Can't you
think of anything else?"
No other ideas came up. Eric
never made the connection
that he was dressing up for a
contest. When he realized that
P.K. Vs. I.B.
Danica Bernard
he would be on public display
he quickly withdrew himself as
a volunteer. "I resign as ge-
nie," he said. "I'm sorry, Eric.
It's too late now. You should
have thought of that before,"
Mrs. Young said. "But I didn't
know it was for the dance,"
cried Eric as he gave his final
plea.
On his way to the dance Eric
forgot the get the genie cos-
tume. "I had to run back to the
classroom and pick it up. Then
I had to change in the locker
room. I was doing so much run-
ning that I missed lunch that
day," Riley said. It must have
paid off, because Riley was vot-
ed Most Beautiful in the con-
test.
The Mathcounts team
brought much recognition to
the middle school and in par-
ticular to the students on the
team. Two valuable team mem-
bers were Cindy Young and
Kari Gibbs. They were the only
eighth graders in Mrs. Gloria
Weber's geometry class. They
were surrounded by tenth
graders in that class. The other
team members were in Mrs.
Kathy Young's algebra I class.
Unfortunately, the Internation-
al Baccalaureate program at
Eastside High School claimed
over half of the team when they
were to attend ninth grade.
Each year friends are separat-
ed when the advanced cur-
riculum at I.B. wins out over
P.K.
Math counts team members from
front: Kari Gibbs, Kirstin Hale, Ezra
Freeman, Cindy Young, Arlo Pannell,

Sixth grader Justin McMur-

with hard work and determina-

put a lot of experience under
his belt, with three school pro-
ductions and workshops. Go-
ing to auditions for plays and
musicals also helped greatly in
strengthening his talent to its
up most potential.
The three productions were:
"The Wizard of OZ", "A
Christmas Carol" and, "The
Electric Sunshine Man."
In "The Wizard of OZ", he
played a general in the mun-
chin army. He also acted as a
background person.
In "A Christmas Carol", he

eezer.

Justin's enthusiasm toward
the theatrical department
spoke for itself, "Wentzlaff and

lent job of producing the plays
and musicals," he said.
Justins school work didn't
suffer as a result of being in the
plays. He managed to remain
active in the productions and
during the time he wasn't on
stage he was doing his home-
work.
Even though Justin had very
little time left while working
with the plays and school work,
he stuck in few of his hobbies

TRADI-
TION!
One of the advantages of
being a small school was
the fun of participating in spirit
week. Students and teachers
alike dressed up or down de-
pending on the theme of each
day, and laughed with each
other over outlandish cos-
tumes.
Spirit week took place dur-
ing the homecoming celebra-
tion. Each day of the week was
claimed by a different grade,
who selected a theme for the
day. Students and faculty who
did not observe the theme of the
day were subject to scoldings
by more spirited Blue Waves.
The final day of spirit week
was homecoming Friday.
Toga, the theme of the day, car-
ried over into the dance that
night, although many wore
Halloween costumes to ob-
serve the holiday. Even though
fireworks from the University of
Florida Halloween Ball could
be seen throughout the football
game, a celebration was not in
order for the team or the fans,
as the game was lost to the
Newberry Panthers by a score
of 21 to 7.
%, .., ti "
Panthers on the prowl lead up to
Vicki Clifford's door decoration. "If I
had known how hard it would be to get
that paint off of the sidewalk, we never
would have put it there," Clifford said
after a cleanup attempt.
T thought it was retard-
ied," said freshman John
Vernon of spirit week. Fortu-
nately, those agreeing with
Vernon were the minority.
Most students and faculty
agreed that spirit week had
been better than it had been in
years.
Kicked off on Monday with
Blue and White Day, the 9th
grade began the week associ-
ated with colorful costumes
and craziness. On Tuesday, the
tenth grade sponsored Vogue
Day; Wednesday, the eleventh
grade brought the most popu-
lar event, Hippie Day. Thurs-
day and Friday brought the
12th grade's Day of Mourning
and Student Council's Toga
Day. Hippie Day saw the most
costumed turnout, with most
student and faculty members
participating. Love beads,
clogs, caftans, Grateful Dead
-.^ 'I -.. *
shirts, and sandals made up
typical outfits.
The second most popular
day was the Day of Mourning.
A funeral during advisory with
a real casket donated by Forest
Meadows Funeral Home gave
students a chance to pay their
last respects to the Newberry
Panthers as the Right Reverend
John Clifford prepared them
for eternal rest.
Blue and White Day and
Vogue Day both commanded
participants as well. On Blue
and White Day athletic attire,
team jerseys, and spirit para-
phanalia decked out students
and teachers. Vogue Day let
true sophisticates strut their
stuff.
Although the school was a
part of the University of Flor-
ida, and future Alphas, Betas,
and Gammas roamed the halls

mixed. Van Halen t-shirts were
stripped away, Guess jeans,
Generra sweatshirts, Reebok
hightops, and cowboy boots
gave way to sheets. Students
raided linen closets for the per-
fect outfit that their parents
,would actually allow them to
wear.
Togas ranged from tradition-
al white to stripes, flowers, Star
Wars, Strawberry Shortcake,
and various cartoon charac-
ters. Footwear was everything
from Roman sandals to bunny
slippers. Many parents were
unwilling to see their best
sheets march off to school for
the day, but students accepted
parental reluctance as part of
the challenge to make the per-
fect outfit. "Toga Day was inter-
esting, to say the least. I had to
steal these sheets from my
mother," Betsy Nicholas com-
mented.

You want to go to the
PARKING LOT? Adrienne
Green spoofs Dean Parker and
the year's hottest topic-the off
limit lot.
ACTION!
What did Little Blue Rid-
ing Hood, the parking
lot, teachers in high school,
pain!, double dating, Rambo,
the Mystery Guest, and insult-
ing rhyme duels have in com-
mon? They were the featured
acts of Hi Tide.
The festivities began with a
performance of Eclipse a local
student rock group, at Low
Tide. People enjoyed both the
music and their spaghetti din-
ners sold by the booster club.
Low Tide started with lip
synching and air bands, but
before all the acts were able to
perform it was time for Hi Tide
to begin.
The event that everyone had
awaited for three months was
finally underway. Chris Ed-
munson and Jason McNeal
came bursting through the
crowd and thrilled the audi-
ence with their hilarious antics,
such as duckwalking and
changing hats constantly,
while they introduced the skits.
Kyla Grogan said, "Chris and
Jason's insanity and unique-
ness as emcees greatly repre-
sented the class of '87." Ed
Munson remembering the
event, commented, "I think Ja-
son and I did a good job for not
practicing. All the future em-
cees shouldn't rehearse either.
It seems to make things more
original and exciting."
Following custom since
1953, P.K. had the traditional
Sbon fire after the Hi Tide skits.
The drumline led the crowd to
the pyramidial pile up and kept
the spirit alive. Heather Hall,
bon fire chairperson, despara-
tely searched for the owner of
an unclaimed car that stood in
the way of the evening's event.
Finally the car was removed
and didn't have to become part
of the blazing inferno.
Regardless of the setbacks,
the 86-87 Hi Tide has been
viewed by many as the best
ever! And as Jim Clingensmith
stated, "I'm glad that in my sen-
ior year I was able to be a part
of such a memorable event. I'll
never forget seeing Coach Sil-
vers play the sax during the
shuffle, or Sohn Moon in a
cheerleader outfit doing a toe
touch!"

CROWNS

nominees were tense. The sig-

the freshmen class representa-

They filed onto the stage, be-
ginning with Eric Johnson and
Lee Ann Delaino. Next came
Chris Moon and Claire
McCall. E.J. Delaino and Nikki
Brockington were the last cou-
ple. The crowd grew quiet as
Monica Douglas, last year's
Homecoming Queen, opened
the envelope. "And the winner
of Homecoming Prince is Chris
Moon." The crowd grew hys-
terical. "Now wait, we still have
a Princess to go. And she is ...
Freshman Heartthrob Brian Gindy with Sweetheart
Missy Montgomery and Junior Hearthrob Chris Tal-
bird with Sweetheart Linse Pratt.
C ourt
Claire McCall!"
The moment that everyone
had been waiting for had final-
ly arrived. The crowd strained
its ears to find out who would
be crowned Homecoming
King and Queen. Ben Allen es-
corted Rachel Floyd, while
Sohn Moon led Heather
Kattawar onto the stage.
Rhonda Ray got two arms to
hold with David Willis and
Mike Poole on either side of
her. Monica Douglas attempt-
ed to open the envelope, and
failed. She tried again, but still
couldn't get it open. Finally,
the envelope gave. "Okay,
guys, here we go. For Home-
coming King we have Sohn
Moon, and for Queen we have
Rachel Floyd!" The crowd
greeted the news with cheer-
ing and clapping.

Feet don't fail me now, Chris-

night away.
Despite his broken arm,
Craig Dorsey still managed to
take his date, Victoria Cardenos
to the prom.
MONEY
DANCE!
A misty ballroom at the
Gainesville Women's
Club filled with thousands of
floating bubbles and colorful
balloons framed the 1986 Ju-
nior-Senior Prom.
The music for the prom, to
many of the attendee's sur-
prise, was fantastic, "consider-
ing the music was done by a D-
Jay." replied Jennifer Evans.
Girls wore beautiful gowns
of all colors, accepted with
long or short gloves and many
other breathtaking accessories,
such as rhinestones, pearls, rib-
bons, and bows. Their dates
were decked out in tuxedoes
with cumberbunds and bow
ties often echoing the color of
their date's gown.
From the time prom started
until it ended, photographers
from Bryn-Alan took pictures to
help couples remember the
evening. A plain, dusty back-
ground did justice to the colors
of the gowns and tuxedoes. Bri-
an Sorli, however, complained
that the photographers cut
people off at the waist, thus
much of the detail on the
gowns was lost.
Taking moment out for togeth-
erness, VaLencia Brinson and date
share a private moment at the
prom.

style was supposedly a new-

the 60's have seemed to

with stirrup pants, mini-

HEY KIDS,WHATDAYA DO ON
YOUR SATURDAY NIGHTS?
pep R allies
. Krista Hair
Holler!
Having only two pep ral-
lies a year made each
one a special event. However,
crowd participation on these
two occasions was very low.
"Students enjoy pep rallies,"
said Lunetta Williams. "But we
need more people standing up
in the bleachers when the
cheerleaders say 'All for the
Blue Waves stand up and hol-
ler.' "
Some blamed the variety of
acts at the rallies for the poor
participation. Skits, according
to Karla Davis, "were always
repeats from the past. They
lack any new ideas." Complex
cheers gave Christina Camp-
bell reason to complain. "If
they had more simple cheers,
then the whole crowd would
get involved."
One act that did manage to
raise the crowd's enthusiasm
was the band. Karyn King said
her favorite thing about the
pep rallies was the band. "I
think they play exceptionally
well," King added. Danny Hall
was in awe of the drum line. "I
wish the drum line got to play
more often," Hall commented.

Satisfying a sweet tooth,
football players Chris Moon
and E.J. Delaino compete for a
bag of candy. The twosome imi-
tated the cheerleaders and re-
ceived the most applause to win
the candy.
A bright spot in the rallies
was the performance of new
athletic director John Clifford.
Some felt he brought hope into
the otherwise repetitive events.
Drum major Catherine Cake
said, "After years of drab pep
rallies we've finally found
someone who can bring a
bored crowd to its feet and to
the top of its voice. He's proven
that it only takes a little creative
thought and a lot of enthusiasm
to bring out the hard-to-reach
but true spirit in Blue Wave
fans."
What was your opin-
ion of pep rallies?
They were bad, but
Coach Clifford's got
potential.
Sam Canto
The drumline is awe-
some, and so is the
band.
Tracey Weston
We need spirit!
Scott Brooks
Most of our pep rallies
are O.K., but this
year's were the best
because Coach Clif-
ford got everybody
rowdy.
Pam Brooker
"What's the next line?" Var-
sity cheerleaders Christyn Dol-
bier and Chelle Chynoweth
read the Alma Mater as the
band plays. Pep rallies and
graduation were some of the
few times the song was sung, al-
ways accompanied by the
words on a sheet of paper.
Music hath charms... Drum Major Catherine
Cake leads the band in a rendition of George
Benson's "On Broadway." The band managed to
get even the most disgruntled pep rally attendees
swaying in their seats.

Climbing the Chichen Itza
pyramids in Mexico was
harder than it looked. On Janu-
ary 17 a brave group of stu-
dents attempted to scale the
small six inch steps. Michelle
Brooten was one of these stu-
dents. "I've never seen any-
thing like them," Brooten said
of the pyramids. The pyramids
were high and very steep, with
a few hundred steps. By the
time Michelle reached the top,
she said she was ready to drop.
"It took all my energy and
breath to get there," Brooten
said.
Once atop the pyramids,
Brooten said the people on the
ground looked like small in-
sects. "The first thing I did was
get out my camera and start
snapping pictures. I was so ex-
cited to finally reach the top,"
she said. What goes up must
come down, and Brooten was
no exception. The climb down
was scary for her because she
looked like she was so far from
the ground. "Every few steps I
had to stop and catch my
breath. My legs felt like jelly.
Finally I reached the bottom.
It'll be a long time before I do
that again," she said.

at Uxmal, Evan McGough tests
the steepness of the steps while
Christy Cruikshank tries not to
fall.

Loading up two mini-vans

group of twenty students
packed themselves and their
gear in every available space.
The four day North Carolina ski
spree was the first time many in
the group had seen snow.
The drive took an entire day,
but participants thought it was
well worth it. The only draw-
back was a lack of variety in
traveling companions. "It was a
great idea and we had tons of
fun, but it was too bad that
more people didn't go," Chel-
sea Jones said.
Unfavorable weather greet-

lessons.
The group's next stop,
Beech Mountain, proved bet-
ter after the first day. Mary Ni-
cholas said, "The first day it was
like we were skiing on a Slur-
pee, but the next day was
great."
The trip was different from a
normal school function. The
skiers were given a lot of inde-
pendence. They did not have
to spend all their time with the
group, there was no curfew,
and they could go anywhere
they wanted. Jennifer Evans
enjoyed being treated like an
adult. She said: "It was nice just

The evidence of the close-
ness of the school was denoted
by its nickname, the "P.K. Fam-
ily." Students had been a part
of the family from the moment
they entered the school, some
of them being together for thir-
teen years. Some knew each
other so well that it was scary.
Often, dating another student
was considered as distasteful as
dating a brother or sister.
When students managed to
grab that elusive date, what
strange or unusual places did
they frequent? The cemetery
was a popular spot, because,
said Teri Birge, "Dead people
tell no tales." Other strange
date spots were: the book store,
Blue Springs, Lake Alice,
Paynes Prairie, the buffet at
Pic-N-Save, and any vending
machines.

quiet, Cullen Corbett and
Christyn Dolbier visit the grave-

Anew addition to the
cafeteria menu caused
a great sensation-the sand-
wich line. According to
lunchroom manager Gloria
Purnell, the sandwich line
was installed to give stu-
dents and faculty an alterna-
tive to the normal cafeteria
food by allowing them to de-
cide how they wanted their
sandwiches prepared.
"Also, we wanted to delete
the old image of school cafe-
terias," Purnell added.
The popularity of the new
line was due to the fact that
consumers could choose the
ingredients for their sand-
wiches, and could see it be-
ing made on the spot. Kevin
Poe felt that "It's a big im-
provement and the prices
are O.K., although the line
moves too slowly." Most
agreed that it was worth the
wait. Karyn King believed
the line was "a step for the
better."

The biggest news on campus was
the addition of air conditioning. Al-
though many thought the school
would never get it, the air condition-
ing was finally a reality.,
"We were the second laboratory
school in Florida to get air condition-
ing, and Florida Agricultural and
Mechanical University's lab school is
now beginning their installation,"
Chris Morris said. The first phase of
the school's air conditioning, which
cost the state $325,000, was made
possible by the fourteen member
Board of Regents.
Even though air conditioning was
m Ithe one thing students and faculty
agreed upon wanting, the newness
and excitement soon wore off be-
cause of the very low, University-
controlled thermostats. "Before we
S had a.c., it was too hot in the summer
and too cold in the winter. Now it's
the other way around," Danny Bre-
dahl said. Guidance secretary Wan-
da Smith agreed. "Most people
would enjoy it more if the tempera-
ture could be controlled," Smith
said.
There were only minor draw-
backs, however. "The best benefit of
air conditioning is that it enhances
our ability to concentrate, we're
more comfortable," Chelle
Chynoweth said. Karl Vierck
summed it up: "The air conditioning
is too cold. Most of the time we sit in
class and freeze; but it's much better
than sitting in sweat."
Applauding fans weren't the only kind of
fans in the auditorium before air conditioning
was installed. Students learned to work while
their papers were blowing away and teachers
small jet engines until each class received its
air conditioning unit.

and door contests were an-
nounced, and prime times and
advisories went to work, de-
signing their entries around
the "Say No" theme. The con-
test winners were awarded the
most sought after prize the ad-
ministration could deliver-off
campus lunch.
Monday afternoon students
watched the Amber Lights me-
dia presentation sponsored by
Burger King and Pepsi. Popu-
lar music and messages from
current movie and television
stars stressed the importance of
proceeding with caution and
having a personal warning sys-
tem when enough is about to
become too much.
Tuesday brought the Say No
To Drugs assembly. Student
body president Kyla Grogan
got the festivities underway by
leading the Pledge of Alle-
giance. After the band per-
formed the national anthem,
director Dr. John Jenkins made
introductory remarks. Students
from kindergarten to twelfth
grade joined the varsity cheer-
leaders in a "Just Say No"
chant.

Free? Paul McArthur smiles as he
flaunts his shirt donated by Burger
King. Students and faculty were highly
impressed and very thankful that Burg-
er King supported the week's efforts.
After high school principal
Chris Morris thanked the
week's sponsors, Burger King
and Pepsi, seven prominent
community members deliv-
ered personal messages about
the dangers of drugs. Speaking
were: the Honorable Judges
Stan Morris and Stephan
Mickle, attorney Diane
McPherson, WCBJ news direc-
tor Ralph Hipp, and Burger
King executive Charles Gat-
ton. Elementary school princi-
pal Jean Brown introduced
speakers Eve Ackerman, Cor-
ner Drug Store consultant, and
Sergeant Alan Morrow, of
Gainesville Police Depart-
ment's Narcotics and Orga-
nized Crime division.
Student speakers gave their
personal touch to the assembly,
further reinforcing the idea
that drugs are bad. Introduced

dent's eye view of the danger
of drugs. Students wearing
blue "P.K. Yonge Says No To
Drugs" t-shirts donated by
Burger King applauded all
speakers.
On Friday the winners of the
various contests were an-
nounced. In the door contest,
Brenda Springfield's and
Kathy Young's prime times tied
for first place. In the high
school, Wade Ring's advise-
ment won the door decoration.
Freshman Hilary Dennis
placed first in the poster con-
test, and Meghna Patel wrote
the winning essay. "The week
was a great success," said dean
of students Carrie Parker. "I
hope the phrase 'Just Say No'
sticks in everyone's mind."
America is fighting the
Crack epidemic, and from Jan-
uary 26-30, the school did its
Bottom
part. During a Say No To Drugs
assembly, Sergeant Alan Mor-
row spoke on the dangers of
Crack to students from kinder-
garten to twelfth grade. Mor-
row presented super athlete
Nickey Brockington with a
Crack Is Rock Bottom button.
Morrow's message on buttons
reached people off campus
also as students displayed the
slogan on their shirts, jackets,
and backpacks.
"Crack is a one-way street,"
said sophomore Erin McCon-
nell, "and the more people
know how dangerous it is, the
fewer will be the people who
use it. If more knowledge of the
dangers of Crack will lower its
use, then programs like this
along with people who care
can help end the Crack epi-
demic," McConnell contin-
ued.

More
Than Just
A Job
Paula Sowers
What do students who don't play
sports do after school? Look for them
in part time jobs. A few years ago,
fast food restaurants held the only
jobs for teenagers. Now the choices
for employment seem endless. Bur-
dines, J.C. Penney's, bakeries, gro-
cery stores, and restaurants are just a
few places a teenager can look for a
job.
Kyla Grogan, who works at Bur-
dine's doing modeling, said that the
advantage of working is"socializing
with the fine guys!" McDonald's em-
ployee lan Calderwood said that
"Getting discounts on your pur-
chases" made working work for him.
On the other hand, there are some
disadvantages of working. Sam Can-
to said that "Knowing I have all the
rest of my life to work, I think I should
be out partying." Another disadvan-
tage is "The work itself," according
to Michelle Ross. The biggest reward
in working comes when the pay-
check arrives. Clothes, car, food, in-
surance, and gas are the hot items on
which to spend money. Most stu-
dents felt that working did not inter-
fere with school, only with their social
life. But, after all, whe taken t serious-
ly, working is more than just a job!

Gainesville's reputation as a col-
lege town helped to attract many
performers to the O'Connell Center
for concerts. From Conway Twitty to
the Red Hot Chili Peppers there
were concerns to appeal to every-
one's taste. Several groups who
came to town brought with them
years of musical experience. The
Beach Boys and Moody Blues con-
certs were attended by both old
and new fans. In some families these
groups were a tradition.
The Monkees accompanied the
resurrection of their television show
with a national concert tour. The
Monkees were originally actors por-
traying musicians in a take-off of the
popular Beatle movies. Their popu-
larity grew and they evolved into a
legitimate band.
And, of course, Jimmy Buffet
made his annual appearance in
Hogtown.
Concert goers ranked crowd par-
ticipation as important in the music
experience. "If the crowd doesn't
respond then the bands never come
back to Gainesville, and they'll tell
other groups that this is a waste
town,"Angie Walker said.
Some fans thought the crowds
could get out of hand. "Sometimes
the crowd doesn't care so much for
the band and they just spend their
time throwing up on other people,"
said Patricia Moser after a particular-
ly close call.

Over eight hundred people came
to the polling place here this year.
The results from the polling precinct
at P.K. paralleled the results in the
rest of Alachua County and those
from the entire state. However, in the
race for governor between republi-
can Bob Martinez and democrat
Steve Pajcic, the results from both
P.K. Yonge and Alachua County
parted ways with the state. Both vot-
ed primarily for Pajcic, who lost the
race.
In the race for the U.S. Senate Bob
Graham had 55% of the votes over
Paula Hawkins. The democrats
broke the republicans' six year hold
on the Senate.
Florida voters decided to approve
a state lottery but rejected legalized

After the shocking murder-suicide
of his wife and son, Bob Butterworth
held 59% of the votes for attorney
general Jim Smith. George Firestone

Homecoming
Flashes
Through
Gainesville
Molly Nicholas
Every year in October students,
alumni, and Gator fans of all ages
anxiously await the University of
Florida's Homecoming. This year's
celebration began with a fun run, the
Gator Gallop. The parade came
next, displaying many brightly col-
ored floats insulting the Kent State
Flashes. Although the weather was
wet for Gallop and the parade, the
enthusiasm of the crowd was not
dampened.
Later that evening the skies
cleared for the world's largest stu-
dent produced pep rally, Gator
Growl. The ingenuity, wit, and hu-
mor of the skits impressed the crowd
of over 40,000. The band played the
Gator fight song, and the cheer-
leaders had the audience cheering
along. "The crowd was really
revved," said onlooker Michelle
Ross.
The highlight of the show was a
hilarious performance by comedian
Billy Crystal. "He was better-actu-
ally, anything would have been bet-
ter-than the Smothers Brothers,"
said Kirstin Popper. A spectacular
firework and laser show ended
Growl, and the Gators triumphed
49-9 over Kent tate tihe next day.
