^ o r e v e \r ^ School life can be very demand ing but it helps to know that you are never alone. Friends play a key role in school life; where would you be without them? Whether they help you study for a test or cheer you up after one, it is always reassuring to have them sharing your triumphs and defeats. Some friendships at P.C.D.S. have spanned many years. Students who have been with each other since grade school form strong bonds that will last for years to come. "Friends are just extended family. If you treat them right their love will always be there for you,” says Sen ior Karyn Takagi.

Freshmen Marc Grayson, Jimmy Bojalad and Matt Weinberg take control of Senior Brett Walton.

Friends also add fun to your school life. As Junior Ethan Gunning puts it, "Friends help you get through those Carl Sagan movies in science." Oth ers just "listen to your complaints," remarks Junior Kerr Lordigyan, and as Mr. Coon says "it's no fun playing golf alone." Basically, friends are just your good buddies. Without them your life could never be the same. Senior Maia Cryns sums it all up by saying, "Friends are special people that you can laugh with and cry with, and you know you can always be your self around them." By Rachelle Stenhouse and Danielle Wallace.

Seniors Rachel Schwartz and Dina Brody show their true colors. Dina is Senior Class President. Middle-schoolers Jeff Gimbel laughs along with Josh Kanner while wonder ing "what am I laughing at?"

Billy DuMone, Kristin Allison, Karyn Takagi, Doug Matia and Maia Cryns are counselors for the 7th grade class trip in Payson, Az.

"Would you let these kids into your house?" Brek Eaton, Jon Peskoff, Brett Walton and Tim Small.

K Whether you are a nervous fresh man or an elated senior, you always have mixed emotions about the new year. "I was scared at first, but after I met a few people, I was really excited about the new year," said new Freshman Marla Meyer. While the freshmen are worrying about the beginning of their high school life, the seniors are starting to worry about ending it. This is the year for colleges, grades and thoughts of the future. “It's the most hectic year I've had so far. Worrying about col lege ap p lication s and grades

makes this year seem very impor tant," said Senior Laura Dingman. The beginning of the '89-90 school year at PCDS saw some apprehen sive freshmen, some unsure seniors, and many mixed emotions among the sophomores and juniors. By the end of the year PCDS will see some confident young men and women walking down the aisle in black robes, and some sophomores who are very sure about the year ahead. By Rachelle Stenhouse

Although the lunch truck of old has been replaced by state-of-the-art snack m a chines, off-campus privileges are still the desire of many a hungry underclassman. Juniors can at least look forward to a second semester lunch period off-campus while seniors boast the ultimate freedom of unres tricted off-campus privileges. O nce students receive this freedom, they tend to quickly forget all the years of frustra tion. Most would certainly agree that off-campus, in the words of Senior Melissa D'Amico, “makes lunch period a perfect time to get some good grub!" Whether it is “ Ja c k " , “ Tokyo", “ Taco ", “Petite", “Reay's" or just a quick “run to 7", the large con ce n tratio n of restaurants around P.C.D.S. makes offcampus a joy to the variety

seeking senior. A few lucky underclassmen have even been successful in winning the sympathy of sen iors, who bring back food for their campus bound cohorts. Seniors also use this new free dom to perform such impor tant tasks as “running errands and getting parts for my car", according to Senior Fred Fer guson. For underclassmen it seems like a long wait. “It's a pain not having it," sighed Junior Kerr Lordigyan during first semester. Freshmen and sophomores have no drivers licenses and no off-campus privileges - a dual handicap. “I think they should give off-cam pus to every one," says freshman Tanya Benatar. In the meantime, offcampus remains a cherished senior privilege. By Joel Rainey.

Hard work and studying are an in tegral part of PCDS life, whether the subject be Social Studies, Math ematics, Foreign Language, Sci ence, Literature or the Arts. One cannot avoid studying; some have tried but soon regret it. Most resign themselves to the inevitable and try to devote themselves to their stud ies as demonstrated by the budding scholars pictured here, The long held tradition of brainbaking (aka studying) is strangely apparent in the students of PCDS. The students of PCDS strive for ex cellence and set higher ambitions for themselves, but they always m anage to find enough extracurri cular time for lighter pursuits. Right, scholars?

it is fairly casual and that there is no pressure to conform. Mr. Jeff Stokes quoted his style as being, “A cross between casual elegance and funkiness." Senior Pamela Schreiber refered to style as, “The external expression of your internal view." It is evident that style is a part of daily life that is well represented at P.C.D.S.

The current styles and trends of dressing are very evident at P.C.D.S. Not only is style a fashion statement but it also reflects diversity in the student body. There is always a wide variety of styles worn through out the campus, ranging from the ultra- preppy look to the casual laidback style. The most common types of cloth ing worn around campus are the perfectly faded Levi's jeans accom panied by a T-shirt or sweater. Col lege attire is not hard to find around the quad. One can almost always spot a favorite college insignia on the front of a T-shirt or sweatshirt. Faculty often prefer to dress in a more conservative, preppy manner which includes neatly pressed ox fords, pleaded wool pants or skirts and penny loafers with a coin in cluded. Students however, are seen displaying the more contemporary and trendy styles. Brand name clothes purchased at specialty shops such as Bennetton, Esprit, and the Gap are also widely worn by P.C.D.S trendies. The general consensus among the students concerning style is that

The words "w eekend" and "fun" always seem synonymous. Although rising early from bed to skip off to school is, for some, a joyous o c ca sion, one cannot deny that the weekend is something to look for ward to. "I would die without a w eekend!" exclaim s Junior Adi Krause. After a long and tiring school week accom panied by the all too familiar late night study binges, a typical P.C.D.S. student longs for a weekend of sleep. However all this sleep doesn't stop people from having a good time. As sophomore, Gary Edlund states about his week ends, "I go tubing, I watch TV, and sometimes PARTY!!" Other students talk on the phone and hang out in local shopping malls. Some spend their time just try ing to keep up with their friend's lives. Senior Tracy Weiss explains, "I look forward to the weekends be cause it gives me a chance to catch up with people I don't get a chance to talk to during a normal school day." W eekends are basically a time to have fun, relax, and ... study, but only if you absolutely have to! Fresh man Marc Grayson pretty much sums it all up when he says, "W eek ends Rock ... They do, man!" By Kerr Lordigyan.

A Reflated tffR ff Blue and Gold Day kicked off the 1989-90 school year with plenty of spirit and energy. Dressed in blue and gold, everyone cheered loudly for PCDS to win, until the sound echoed off the gym walls. Varsity and Junior Varsity Cheer足 leaders, led the spirit, followed by competitions introduced by Head Coach Bob Kosower. The band played spirited music and the sen足 iors won the annual cheer competi足 tion by a unanimous vote. Junior Beth Flores said she "liked the Sen足 iors cheer" and thought "their blue and gold class T-shirts made them look great." Spirit grew stronger through the day as most of our athletic teams went on to victory. Michelle Zinman, a sophomore, said," There was even more spirit this year than last year." By Rick Daley.

A New Vision

tims is a marvelous example of thoughtful and generous student action. It is exciting, too, to know that the Phoenix community is taking a new look at PCDS, prompted by grow ing public awareness of the successes of our students in academ ics, in the arts and in athletics. PCDS has a wonderfully talented stu dent body. You, the class of 1990, through your care for the School and good lead ership have contributed greatly to the growth and development of this fine educational community.

Stefanie Bashore

by Margaret J. Madden, Head of School Congratulations to the class of 1990 and, indeed, PCDS students in all divi sions, for taking a "new look” at community and world needs and for re sponding to many of those needs. This concern of PCDS students for others less fortunate and for the quality of world, local and campus environments has been growing tremendous ly during the past few years.

NEW COURSES, NEW FACULTY The science and math de partments swept into the new year with programs revitalized by the addition of new teach ers and new courses.

LOOKING FOR HELP! At one time or another, nearly ev ery PCDS student turns to one of the counselors for support or advice, Both Mr. Paul Schweikher, college counselor, and Ms, Anne Salzmann, school counselor, have been pro viding top-quality expert assistance to PCDS students for years. By senior year, everyone has met many times with "Schweik." Senior Paul Geantil said, “Mr. Schweikher brought light to my dismal college situation," and most seniors would agree with this to one degree or another. As the coordinator of the Leader ship Groups and the faculty sponsor of the Community Service Commit tee, Ms. Anne Salzmann has estab lished herself as an active part of the PCDS community. She was par ticularly excited about this year, which “started with enthusiasm, re sponsibility, and concern on the part of the seniors - and with the juniors pushing to start training!" © £o

NEW METHODS IN ENGLISH

The concept of having no tests I) classes such as English II and AP Eng lish would have seemed unbelief able even last year. Yet the Englis Department has made that switcj this year, and according to stu dents, it appears to be a succea "It's unique and it allows for moi individuality," commented senij Sonia Abhyanker of her AP Englij class, taught by Department Heq Mr. Coon. The changes include L major focus on writing and readin | in enormous (but not impossibly i quantity, keeping both a person and a reading journal, and devotir] class time to writing while listening j music. Both Mrs. Tankersley and IV Coon have been using this syster and thus far appear to be very ha| py with the results. “I have four that students do much better qu< ity writing when they are free 1 write about what they like. They e joy it more and consequently wrl better," said a pleased Mr. Coor

A Look Into The Past The diverse courses and personal ities within the History Department make social sciences an exciting field for "apprentice historians," to steal a term from history instructor Mr. Stokes. From the early days of Civilization I and II with Mr. Martin or department head Mr. Flail to the fi nal experiences of AP classes, taught by Mr. Stokes and alter ego Mr. Schweikher, the journey through PCDS history classes is not easy. After all, it is not every class that might be taught by Mr. Dexter Morse, the head of the upper school, as American History is! How ever, it is, as senior Dina Brody put it, "one of PCDS's best departments. All the teachers get us motivated with their creativity and teaching styles." O c

Looking Abroad James Bruning Pamela Driggs Harry Houle Arlette Jacques Catherine Mount

Every PCDS student must take three years of foreign languages to graduate. Offering courses up to the AP level in both French and Spanish, the department has devel oped into an exceptional one. De partment Chair Mr. Jam es Bruning also teaches upper level Spanish courses while Madame Arlette Ja c ques handles the upper level French courses. Ms. Pamela Driggs and Mrs. Catherine Mount teach the lower level courses in these languages. Upper school librarian Mr. Harry Houle adds a whole new dimension to the department by instructing students in Latin. Although demand ing, the three langauages offered by PCDS give students the opportu nity to experience a diversity of cul tures and lifestyles. by Joel Rainey and Rachelle Stenhouse Stefanie Bashore

Look at This! Many students choose to take ad vantage of a selection of non-aca demic electives. These fall in three ma jor categories - music, art, and physical education. Mrs. Susan Babini returned for her second year as the head of the music department. She and Mr. David Rowe have greatly led to new growth in instrumental music. Mrs. Brenda Schertenleib, aka “Shirt," joined the staff as the new chorus teacher. With new mu sic requirements in the middle school, the PCDS music department appears to have a bright future. In art, department head Mr. James Cook and Mrs. Beth Zink offer a wide selection of classes, rang ing from Drawing to Advanced Photog raphy to Clay Studio among others. Not as much choice is available in “P.E.", where freshmen and sophomores are required to Jake classes both years, with no exemptions for varsity athletics as in the past. >* i>

UPPER SCHOOL

A New Start The Class of '93 did not take the title "Freshmen” as an in sult; they rather took it as a challenge. Instead of coming from the easy-going atmo sphere of the middle school to the tough essay-a-week up per school and barely surviv ing the first quarter, they cam e through with flying col ors, making them one of the brightest hopes for the future. Their secret was making

themselves heard in a number of areas instead of just watching. The Freshmen have made themselves felt not only in academ ic areas, but also in a number of extra-curricular activities, such as sports, clubs and campus life. The class of '93 has had a strong start, with three years remaining for them to make their mark on PCDS. By Matt Philips

SOPHOMORES Finally, Freshman year was over for the Class of 1992, The Sophomores really enjoyed the fact that there was a class be hind them and they weren't on the bottom any more. Since they were almost Ju niors the Sophomores took on new responsibilities like gettting their licences, taking PSAT's and having options for New Horizons, Sophomore year may be thought of as an easier year but this year's Sopho mores had their work cut out for them. "I used to think Fresh man year was hard before I took that math test," sighed a stressed out Sophomore. Sometimes Sophomore year may be overlooked but this year's class sure stood out. Having the smallest class in the whole upper school, the Soph omores got to know each oth er well. With hard working class officers, their banking account is looking good for next year's prom. The class of 1992 is ex cited about the upcoming year and the privileges of be coming upperclassmen. by Karen Kahn.

JUNIORS Although not yet atop the high est of the four rungs of the school ladder, the Juniors finally enjoy their new label “upperclassmen." “As well as being harder. It's a whole lot more fun," exclaims Ju nior Class president Rick Daley, who, along with the majority of the class, finds that the mega-tons of hard work required of them doesn't seem to be so stressful when they look on the brighter side of the Junior year. “Now we can all drive," says fel low Junior Rob Cohen. A new sense of freedom holds up the heads of the members of the Ju nior class and allows them to prance around campus with their car keys dangling from their fin gers as if they have suddenly ad vanced into superiority. It all goes with the territory. Academ ically, many Juniors feel they have more variety in their classes because, as Tina McNeff states, “We can choose our own electives," How ever, although most enjoy the re spect that goes along with being Juniors, some feel differently. Kim Cox admits, “We're finally upper classmen, and yet we're still treat ed like lowerclassmen." Well, no matter what kind of treatment Ju niors receive, one thing is certain next year they will finally be on toPby Kerr Lordigyan

To Mr. Rick Kidder: The Senior Class of 1990 dedicates this yearbook to a man of many hats. From an avid golfer, to a mem ber of the Harvard Porcillian Club, lover of Gilbert and Sullivan, Jethro Tull, and Roxy music, he is a man of great personality. A fine writer and teacher of ad vanced composition and British literature who could never stand for a dull mo ment in his classes. He is a friend to all of us and we would like to say “Thank you, Mr. Kidder!" Class of 1990

Back of the beating hammer by which the steel is wrought. Back of the workshop's clamor, the seeker may find a thought: The thought that is ever master of iron and steam and steel; That rises above disaster, and tramples it under heel ...

Starting New Traditions

New President of the senate Tra cy Weiss hoped in 89/90 to "bring back all the usual events, like Oktoberfest and the International Food Festival, as well as adding some unique ideas of our own, like the quad dance," The Senate also ad ded a microwave oven along with several sandw ich-vending m a chines in the concession area, as the old lunch truck days becam e distant memories. The Senate kicked off the year with the annual Oktoberfest, com plete with oompah music, ethnic food, and the fascinating sight of sophomore Jeanne Geantil stuffing over 100 Gummy Bears in her mouth on her way to a second place finish in the Gummy Bear Eating Contest. Several morning breakfasts were also hosted by the Senate, and by the end of first semester, plans were in place for dances in Burch Hall and the quad, the Quiz Bowl, Peoples' Choice Awards, International Food Festival, and other events, by Joel Rainey

LEADERSHIP Leadership gives many students the opportunity to learn about their peers and talk in confidentiality about their problems. It provides a support group and a place to make new friends. This year several seniors were as signed leadership groups with middle school students. Freshmen, who often have a tough time adapting to a new school, get a chance to talk with others who are experiencing similar feelings. Senior leaders can listen to their groups, and also express their own frus trations and worries. Seniors and fresh men often becom e much closer friends, which is an important part of going to a small school. Those students who are juniors are in training to becom e senior leaders. They focus upon building stronger leadership skills. Leadership is one of the very impor tant parts of the PCDS social scene, beneficial to the entire PCDS communi ty. by Kathy Hollenberg

The newspaper has had another enjoyable and productive year. The eight p age issues of news, features, sports and opinions distributed monthly are the finished product of many drafts. The editorial staff Doug Matia, managing editor, Danielle W allace, news, Jenny Bolyard, features, and Adam Spiegel, sports, headed by Jill Krafts, editor-in-chief and Pat Tan kersley, faculty advisor, begin the process by brainstorming creative article ideas. These ideas are passed on to the reporters who work diligently - inter viewing, writing, re-writing, until the final draft is typeset. The layout staff then compose the graphics and photos supplied by Rachelle Sten house, photo editor and her staff, into the publication students, facul ty and parents enjoy each month, by Danielle Wallace.

The curtain rises, the curious murmur of the audience set tles, and the play begins. This is a familiar scene to many young actors at PCDS. In the past few years, under the able direction of Dr. John Collins, and assisted by Mr. Bill Mckinley, the drama club has made tremendous strides in its caliber of performance and discovery of newly found talent. Besides the usual plays and the musical directed by teach ers, there is a new twist to the club. For the first time in the history of drama at PCDS, stu dents are directing their own plays. One of these student productions is entitled "Rest in Peace", a comedy directed by Freshmen Claudia Bashore and Rachel Kopiec. For a change of scenery, Ju nior Kerr Lordygan is directing a heavy drama called “The In sanity of Mary Girard." Lastly, Junior Ethan Gunning is direct ing the Woody Allen farce “God." Senior Dina Brody, active in two of the three productions, has this to say. "Allowing stu dents to direct their own plays makes for a great experience and a broadening of horizons. I'm glad it can be done." Ethan Gunning adds,“I think that this is a very original idea of Dr. Collins', and it lets students be cre ative and have more say in what happens in the drama club." by Kerr Lordygan and Rachelle Stenhouse

The Yearbook is an enormously demanding activity. It takes about 1,000 manhours, all voluntary work by Upper School students. Meeting deadlines wins us a free twenty page supplement. With this incentive, PCDS met all its deadlines last year for the first time. Even though the supplement, is extra work for the editors, as Sen iors they are excited to have a unique opportunity to record some of the most important events in their high school career. These include Gr.a.duar! i0n ? nd ^ ° m ' Mrs. Pecelin, advisor, says, The staff is m agnificent a t pulling out all the stops when necessary.

VOLLEYBALL RENEWED! This new school year gave PCDS a volleyball team with a renewed spir足 it. Stacked with freshmen talent and spirit, the team worked hard to have a season to look back on with pride. "Although we did not have a winning season, the talent on the varsity team was greater than we've had in previous years," said Junior Lisa Brook. Perhaps the best assets to the team this year were the Freshmen players. Many of the new players on the team this year were freshmen, and their talent was easily seen. These players make the future of volleyball at PCDS look bright. "This year's volleyball team played well together and had a lot of fun, but most importantly the underclass足 men got a lot of experience," said senior captain Mollie Anderson. The season was very successful, the Eagles winning their first league gam e in several years. With the freshman talent, the team has great potential and could soon record a winning season in years to come. Under the leadership of Coach Georgia Buelow, or "B," the Eagles have quickly becom e a team to make PCDS proud.

Senior Mollie Anderson bumps the ball skyward for one of her teammates to spike, hopefully scoring a point for PCDS.

SOCCER New Leadership Keeping the Old Tradition Many changes are evident on the PCDS boys' varsity soccer team this year, but one thing has not changed - the tradition of excel lence. Despite the loss of many starting seniors and the head coach from last year's state runner-ups, this year's team has been a definite success. They have won nine of their ten gam es and are looking toward the state championships. The Eagles' prime offensive weapon, senior striker Bill DuMone, scored his hundredth goal as the Ea gles outscored their opponents 30 to 5 in their nine victories. The of fense provided a balanced, a g gressive attack that helped lead

the Eagles to success. Another key to this year's winning season was defense. The defense tightened after the early 5 to 3 overtime loss to Greenfields and shut out every other league member once, allow ing only 5 goals in the other nine games. The whole team was char acterized by great depth this year, and had evolved into a very phys ical group by the end of the regular season. The combination of the leadership qualities of Coach Steve Reuter and this year's seniors helped contribute to the effort as well. However, no less than nine freshman were team members, so the future looks to hold good things in store for the PCDS boys' soccer program. by Joel Rainey

The team be cam e more successful as the sea son progressed because of their good attitudes and spirit. The team's coach, Mr. Morse feels, “We have a lot of enthusiasm, great effort and are improving ev ery day." Mr. Morse is assisted by Mr. Cook. Together they have helped the players improve and becom e better athletes. Having players from freshmen to seniors has provided variety. “The

freshman and the older veterans fell together as a team and are com petitively working towards the fu ture." The freshmen have proved to be really valuable to the team. “High school basketball is so differ ent from middle school. It is great to have the opportunity to play with older and more experienced play ers," says Valeska French. The players in the Women's Varsi ty basketball team are not the only ones enjoying the season. “This year the gam es are the most exciting to watch in all of my four years of high school," said fan Scott Small. by Karen Kahn.

Since the arrival of head coach Mr. Bob Hendrickson two and a half years ago, the men's Varsity bas ketball program has gone steadily uphill. This year's team proved no exception, winning more games than any other basketball team in recent school history. Several milestones were passed over the year as well, as Coach Hendrickson recorded his five hun dredth high school basketball coaching victory and senior guard Billy Dumone notched his one thou sandth point. This standard of excel lence carried over to the other players as well, with senior "big men" Aron Drayer and Scott Small crashing the boards well - Drayer even put the exclamation point on a victory at Orme with a "monster" dunk. Junior Greg Lehmann and senior Doug Matia hit well from the

outside, Matia earning the nick name "Clutch" after a key threepointer with two seconds left earned the Eagles a home victory against Northwest Com m unity Christian. Add these contributions to the "sweet" moves and passes in Dumone's arsenal, and the result was an excellent season of which the Eagles can truly be proud. Men's Junior Varsity Basketball flourished as well this year, as a freshm an/sophom ore-dom inated team posted an impressive record. Standout players were sophomore high-scorer Jeff Matura and sopho more point guard Adam Spiegel, who led the Eagles to one of their strongest seasons in years.

Batting a Thousand

If you ever want to find a team with a lot of spirit and fun, the place to look is the PCDS men's baseball team. Although not achieving a winning season last year, this team works hard to represent the school. The team's spunk and enthusiasm makes them winners in any score book this school has ever seen. The team is very excited and is working hard to prepare for the season ahead. "The loss of many seniors makes us aware that we have our work cut out for us if we're going to have a successful season," Paul Geantil said. The team espe足 cially needs to concentrate on their

field work to ensure a strong team. Although some of the older and more experienced players are gone, there is plenty fresh talent this year. Two Sophomores Adam Spiegal and Craig Stenhouse are return足 ing to the team again this year and will be a terrific asset. Even if the team does not do as well as they hope this year, the school can rest assured that they'll be back again next year better then ever. The spirit the men take out on the field with them is fantas足 tic, and they have a great time do足 ing what they love to do. by Rachelle Stenhouse

SOFTBALL

As spring ca m e o n ce aga in to the PCDS cam pus, it brought with it still m ore sunny w eather, pollen and allergies, lazy days, and another excitin g season of girls' softball. P ractices started in late February for the fresh young team led by the sole returning seniors, Kristin Allison and Karyn Takagi. The girls w ere optim istic about the ye ar a h e a d , know ing well they would h ave to work hard to su cce e d in their new le a g u e (C lass C ) behind a new pitcher, junior Lisa Brook. Mr. Paul Schw eikher a ga in returned as head c o a c h of the team , a d d e d to his duties as a co lle g e co u n selor and history teach er.

As the p ra ctice s go t under w ay, it w as quickly cle a r that these girls felt they could prove very com p etitive, perhaps m ak ing a run for the state tourna m ent. Early frustrations w ere just as evident, how ever, as junior third basem an Beth Flores w as si delined just a w eek before the first ga m e with a broken finger. Senior co -ca p ta in Karyn Takagi com m ented, "It just m ad e m e so m ad! She w as really an up-andcom ing player. Now, the rest of us will h ave to pick up the slack and really work hard to m ake this season a su cce ss." by Jo el Rainey

"And it's a swing-and-a- ... hit!" Karyn Ta kagi connects with the top half of the soft ball, resulting in a ground ball. Swing level next time, Karyn!

Lisa Brook warms up her throwing arm as practice gets underway. As a pitcher, she must be careful not to "throw her arm out," to pitch complete games.

M EN 'S TEN N IS Coach Charles Flail has high hopes and expectations for his men's varsi ty tennis team. The team is playing much stronger this year and has the strong leadership and maturity needed for a successful season. Coach Flail has said that there is even the "potential for a couple of state championships.” Last year, the team won division a l taking seven individuals to state. David Bojalad placed third, which was a great victory for the team. Coach Flail said that this years team "has a year's experience. I should think that this year we won't lose any m atches." Last year the team lost two gam es to St. Gregory. This

year coach Flail is very optimistic about the team's future winnings. With so called "stars" like Seniors John Peskoff and David Bojalad, the team will definitely meet its expec tations when the season starts on March 6th. Upcoming underclass men like Sophomore Gregg Dessen and Freshmen Jason Fox will also add to the team's strength. This will be a positive season for Men's Tennis. The hard-working players all have good attitudes and there are no ego problems. All of this leads Coach Flail to boast,"I'll be shocked if we lose any!" by Kerr Lordygan

WOMEN'S TENNIS Success lies ahead for the P .C .D .S. w om en's tennis team. Like last years team this year's tennis team is sure to have a winning season. The team is being coached by Mr. Flail, assisted by Mrs. Mount. "There are plenty of students trying out for the team this year/' said Mrs. Mount, "and there's no shortage of enthusi足 asm." "We have freshmen with great potential that are will足 ing to work hard," said Mr. Flail. Freshmen Kim Cotton ap足

pears to be very promising in practice. The team will need much success to measure up to last years record. In '89 we sent four players to divisionals and won states. This year winning veterans like Karen Levenberg and Gillian Price are returning to win again. Veteran Kim Davis feels "even though tennis is an indi足 vidual sport we pull together as a team and reach our goals." by Karen Kahn. Gillian Price whips a powerful doublehanded forehand drive down the line.

GOLF

LOOK at those clubs!

The PCDS golf team coached by Dave Martin, is looking forward to a good season this year. The returning team, led by Brett Walton and Ari Plosker, is strong. "This year's team has lots of potential. The Freshmen will form a large portion of this year's team, and they should help improve it," said Coach Dave Martin. Brett Walton, last year's number one player, shoots in the lower forties for nine holes, and should provide ex足 cellent leadership for the inexperi足 enced Freshmen. "The team hopes to improve upon last year's record," says Senior Ari Plosker. By Rick Daley

Together we shared a child's world. We talked, we disagreed, we shared personal hurts and joys, and the older we grew the stronger the bond between us became. I was always so proud to have you as my brother Now life has taken us down different paths, but your well-being and happiness will always be foremost in my thoughts. Neither the span of miles nor years between us can ever change the feelings I have for you ... I love you, Bethany. -Emma Kercek-

My Home! in the old apple orchard, You seemed like a mansion to me In the days when I was a youngster And living so happy and free. 'Twas there that our loved ones would gather. And oh! the dear friends that we met. The kind that you like to have near you, The ones you will never forget. So often I find myself dreaming, And sometimes my eyes fill with tears; I see my dear mother still waiting To greet me, as in the past years. Oh! memories dear ever linger, Stay with me wherever I roam. For it is so sweet to remember The scenes of my dear childhood

STAY JILL! We laugh about the "poofie" hair The purple phone, papers everywhere. A blankie that keeps you warm at night The love of chocolate, those ice cream nights. But most of all we smile with pride At a daughter who's everything that God could provide. So keep us in your heart as we always will Because nothing is as special as our one and only

We, your scholars, now realize that time is of the essence. We hope to achieve, as you have, “the very definition of looseness!" As we go forth and search for men/women (or both), we hope to transcend our status as apprentice historians and become like our mentor, a self-described “man of the people." We will always remember our hip (and some would say hippie) AP historian and advisor. Peace, man.
