The view from within hat happened daily inside the walls of this high school could sometimes only be called Off the Wall. Whether it was Mr. Pifer dressed up as a cheerleader, art students having a birthday party for Picasso, or vo-tech students leaving to tour a coal mine, students here never knew what to expect. Walking through the halls, we saw trophies for math competitions, tennis matches, and industrial arts contests. We bumped into classmates wearing everything from ties to tie-dye. Our school was full of strange contrasts like these, but we grew used to it. In our opinion, anything else would be boring.

itself. We showed our Off the Wall nature to all of State College, as boys wore cheerleaders' skirts in the annual Powderpuff football game, and a large crocodile stalked the Homecoming parade. When we traveled, we took our individuality with us. The girls' cross country team toured the state meet course dressed as M & M's. Football fans tried to start a wave in Hollidaysburg's stadium. Sure, people might have thought we were a little bizarre, but at least they remembered us. And we've found that breaking the mold can be more fun than fitting it.

of us looked forward to the challenge of going to school each day, while others of us merely counted the days until graduation or summer vacation. But whether we were thrilled or bored by our educational experience, it had a great impact on all of our lives. Our identity as high school students followed us through the school day and out into the world of jobs, extracurricular activities, and social events.

In many ways our lives were typical of teenagers across the country, but we found ways to break out of our daily routine Dave Kiely liked to stay downtown with his friend all night from seven to seven. It was incredible - even Playland was closed!" Pam Matten indulged in Triple Chocolate Cake at The Deli, while the varsity cheerleaders let off steam with a rousing chorus of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling." Melanie DeHass enjoyed swimming at the ungodly hour of three in the morning.

However we chose to cut loose, each one of us led an Off the Wall existence at times.

8 SPIRIT

Student Council President Pete Eberhart wasn't the only one worried that the Class of '88 might not finish high school with spirit; "apathetic" had been used to describe these students. However, the seniors came through with enthusiasm, helped by an active junior class.

Both classes celebrated the transition from vacation to

school with a luau and pep rally. Our support for our school's athletic programs showed throughout the year, from "good luck" banners adorning the student lobby to cheering crowds that attended a variety of sporting events.

Spirit was not just for sports, though. We recognized each oth 路 ers' achievements in a wide range of areas, academic and extra-

curricular. These accomplishments were detailed in the daily announcements and on bulletin boards throughout the school building.

Class Senates and Student Council promoted school spirit.

Whether dancing in the gym or washing cars for charity, we brought spirit to all we did. With so much to be proud of, apathy didn't stand a chance.

How could anyone ask for more spirit than going all out for the Homecoming路 dance, as George Browning and Mindy Babione did?

12 FASHION

Fashion at State High this year was characterized by a wide variety of costumes. For some it was the year to dress down, while others of us perfected a painstakingly stylish image.

The laid back among us relied on such comfortable basics as flannel shirts, well-worn sweats, and

the inevitable Levis.

Even this "thrown together" look reflected current trends, as psychedelic tie-dyed shirts made their way from Grateful Dead concerts to the halls of the high school.

Casual dressers tried to look as if they had given no thought to what they wore, but some of ¡us maintained an obviously time-

consuming image Classic looks - sweater and skirt ensembles for girls, oxfords and sweaters for their male counterparts, added an air of sophistication. A different mode of dressing up was the trendier, allblack look. However State College students chose to look, they did it with style.

16 WORKING

Although not everyone who worked shared Alex Napoleon's intense dislike of it, many were driven to seek employment by the same basic desire - money.

Students left school both during and after the day to enter State College's job market.

Places of employment varied, with restaurants and grocery stores being among

the most common employers. No matter what the job, though, those of us who worked did so mostly to fatten wallets and bank accounts.

As the money piled up, working students were able to put it to good use. Saving to buy cars or gas and to help finance a college education were oftenheard reasons for seeking extra income.

Less common reasons for saving included paying for a trip to Europe, reimbursing parents for damage done to their car, and renting an apartment for the summer. Even those of us who chose to spend our money instead of squirreling it away agreed that it was worth the hours of work - usually.

Suave safecracking: Jason Bellanti decides to reveal the secrets of a locker.

Where there is a will there is a way. Owners of this locker hope to fill it completely by graduation.

Rest and relaxation are what Nancy Smilowitz and Sheri Lippincott use lockers for.

18 LOCKERS

Twirling combinations to open secrets to a student's life, lockers were a crucial part of most student's day at school.

To some, a locker was merely used to store the necessities: a calculus book, pencils, calculator, lunch, and a jacket.

To others, lockers were local hangouts or personal statements. Whether one

decorated his locker or not, it was still his own, or in some cases one locker was shared by three.

The best part of having a locker was the social atmosphere. Many students spent their four minutes between classes gossiping.

Meanwhile, books were shoved in and papers fell out--no one managed to keep their locker very neat. Some stu-

dents used their lockers as refrigerators away from ho me, keepi n g anything from their lunch to six-packs of soda in them. For those involved in sports, lockers stored both workout gear and displayed spirit signs.

However a student used his locker, it was t he one thing at school that the student was given freedom with.

It's importan t to scope out the s it u ation before entering the library, so LeeAnne Leonard and Erin Ruse make sure their friends are there before they check in for the period.

20 LIBRARY

Study halls were great--periods that had no real requirements, except to show up for attendance. But sometimes, like Stacy Hyman, we had enough of study hall and wanted a place to study in earnest to avoid an overcrowded study hal l.

This was when many of us escaped to the library.

Aaahh, the first time you shaved. For girls it was the highlight of a junior high summer, being old enough to rid those skinny legs of hair.

Guys d idn't shave until later, but to them the ritual was a rite of passage into manhood. In recent years, though, stubble itself has meant masculinity, thanks to stars like Don

Johnson, Kevin Costner and Sting.

This year shaving escaped the boundaries of social norms. Boy swimmers shaved their legs and heads, while cyclists razed their legs to avoid hair-infected gashes. Even football players sacrificed leg curls to the almighty Remington rather than rip them out with athletic tape. In contrast girl swimmers sue-

cumbed to the bushy look for extra drag. Ask any female swimmer what she liked best about districts, and she likely said, "Shaving!"

Although roles have changed, the burdensome task of shaving survives. If State High was any in dication, though, we won't always be able to tell someone's gender by his stubble.

ur daily bread

Your stomach started growling in the middle of class, startling the teacher and fellow students alike. Smells from the cafeteria, real or imagined, wafted through the hallways to tease your nostrils. You couldn't read or take notes; images of lunch filled every brain cell.

For all the jokes about school food, most of it fell within the wide range of "acceptable,"

The hallway seems endless to students on their way to lunch, their empty stomachs drawing them persistently to the cafeteria.

24 LUNCH

with some items achieving delicacy status. Rolls were a favorite cafeteria purchase, with their melt-inyour-mouth flakiness and buttery flavor. Of course traditional junk food, such as snack cakes and pizza, remained popular among school lunchers. The cafeteria had something to tempt everyone during morning's hungry hours.

Finding privacy in a crowd, Dave Klindienst and Holly Keller discuss the morning's happenings before taking their place in the lunch line.

Yet eating was only part of lunchtime's attraction. We were as hungry for a chance to talk with friends and sit in the sun as we were for Nutty Bars. Even those who buckled down to study among the chaos looked forward to lunchtime, our answer to recess.

The sheer pleasure of the salad bar brings an enthusiastic grin to Lee Lochbaum's face.

Even though their books are open, Shelly Marshall, Michele Stevens and Lisle Howard can't help using their lunchtime to catch up on each others' news.

26 DOWNTOWN

Regardless of the opinion expressed by Marie Stanton and Larissa McFarlane, the ritual of seeking fun downtown on weekends remained alive and well in State College. State High students were joined by visitors from surrounding areas who traveled to the "hot spot" of Centre County.

Choices for enter-

tainment included feeding quarters to video games, hanging .out in the alley, or cruising the main drag (on foot, of course). This last activity gave us the chance to scope out members of the opposite sex, a high priority to some.

If none of the above ideas aroused enthusiasm, stuffing our faces was always

a viable alternative.

Whether it was pizza at Brother's or hamburgers at Baby's, the array of food meccas seemed endless.

Until someone discovers where we can find a nightlife as exciting as the ones on Michelob ads, students here are likely to continue the tradition of heading to downtown.

28 DANCE MARATHON

"Non Stop Dancin','' the theme of the 1988 dance marathon, echoed throughout the gym for twenty-eight hours on March 11-12.

With eighty dance marathon personnel, 350 dancers and a goal of $25,000 for cerebral palsy, everyone enjoyed the year's biggest fundraiser/social event.

From the New Year's Eve party with 7-UP to

the South of the Border party with pinatas, boredom had no chance to set in. Staff and morale crews kept the dancers' spirits high with special events, including the ever-popular air bands and walkman sing alongs. When the event ended, dedicated workers stayed late to mop the sticky gym floor, fueled by leftover food.

Despite the marathon's party atmosphere all involved worked diligently to raise $25,0000 for the Cerebral Palsy Home Unit. With the help of the State College Elks, faculty advisor Tim Glick and high school adm in is tr at ors, the participants proved that fun doesn't have to be selfish.

"We have spirit, how 'bout you?" echoed through thesenior high gym on Novemeber 19, 1987, when the faculty and classes of 1988-1991 squared off for the annual battle of hi1ari ty known as "Anything Goes."

Sponsored by the cheerleaders, this evening of excitement also provided an opportunity to make a substantial

donation to a local charity.

Students signed up for such events as an obstacle course, "Pass the Lifesaver," and pudding eating.

The contests may sound silly, but don't be fooled - people took this quite seriously. Each class performed warm-ups before the start of competition to ensure championshipquality performance.

(Whether or not parti ci pan ts actually practiced ahead of time is questionable.)

Once the event began, everyone was involved in cheering, competing, or adding weight to the tug-ofwar. The seniors ended up victors, but all involved took home memories of a wild time.

32 POWDERPUFF

A tradition breaker for the class of '88, this year's Powder Puff game ended with a surprising twist. The seniors, shattering a threeyear losing streak, racked up their first victory over the juniors with a score of 22-0. The junior squad gave a valiant effort with few players, but an uncompromising senior defense checked the

junior offense while the senior offense rolled up the score.

Off the field, both the junior and senior classes had male cheerleaders to encourage their teams from the sidelines.

The junior cheerleaders entertained the fans with their performance to Michael Jackson's song "Bad." Seniors danced their way to first place in the

cheerleading competition with Billy Idol's song "Mony Mony."

As shown by the score, the class of '88 proved true to their motto, "Bad to the Bone." But for everyone involved, even juniors like Julie Lynott, this year's game was friendly enough to be fun for winners and losers alike.

Students vented expression through many ways: drawing, painting, photography, and dance. Yet only high school bands caught our ears.

Jim VanHorn accompanied the adult band Synchronici ty--with hopes of starting his own band and earning extra money.

Some bands ap peared at local bars, as did Lord Foul which performed at The Scorpion on Under 21 nights. Comprised of Andy Pfaff, Alex Lusht, Andrew Knipe and Paul Rosen, Lord Foul played original tunes.

Andy Pfaff, who wrote

lyrics for singer Andrew Knipe, infused progressive and classical music into the band's music "to broaden its potential as a music form." Playing "anywhere we can," the band hoped for a record label by next year.

Although the student's bands differed, they sang a common song--the love of music.

Although these activities may seem far from t raditional academic activities, they comprise the academic programs offered to State High students. Curriculums like the Alternative Program, Modified School Day and Vocational Agriculture allowed students to concentrate on more than just the "three R's."

Of course the classes in reading, writing and arithmetic offered excellent preparation for the student's future. Actually, about 1266 hours of preparation, to be exact. For 180 days a year, students attended classes in Sociology, Trigonometry, Russian, Oceanography or Photography, to name a few.

Yet State High students didn't have to concentrate on academics alone.

Work Experience allowed students a look at the job world, while the Alternative Program provided a flexible program catered to the individual. The Vocational-Technical School offered hands-on experience. And study halls offered either a time to catch-up on homework or, more popularly, a time to relax.

Thanks to these unique programs offered to State High students, academics proved that, rather than driving students up a wall, education could be Off t he Wall.

From the ABC's to the sine of alpha, beta and gamma, State High students use all the tools of the trade to complete their last two years in high school.

Yet throughout the school day, the green and beige hallways, the fire escape-route signs, the clocks whose second hands point in unison to the precise time of the bell sometimes conjured thoughts of "all work and no play." Since, according to the saying, that made Johnny a dull boy, activities such as AREA and study halls served to hurry the day along.

AREA, a mysterious abbrevi-

O

ation for "Advising, Remediation, Enrichment Activities," was a weekly activity. During Wednesday's third period, clubs, such as Photography Club or Newspaper, used the time for meetings. AREA provided time for assemblies, such as the yearly SADD assembly.

Representatives from various colleges found AREA an excellent time to meet with and give information to students.

More commonly, students signed-up to attend a teacher's AREA. Reasons ranged from unfinished homework to talking with friends. Said Ann Daniels, "I usually come to AREA

with a lot of homework, and good intentions. I usually end up not doing it." The computer room, art rooms and library were also popular during study halls. Joe DeWalle went to the library because there he could study. Others, like Melissa Ferguson, stayed in study hall to "force myself to do my homework, rather than give myself the option to talk."

Whether it was AREA or study halls, these activitities brightened the school day. Like most students, Molly Aronson noted, "Without my study halls, I'd go nuts."

Battles of the brain s we all knew, school was, or at least was intended to be, a learning experience. Some of us cruised by, while others achieved award - winning accomplishments.

Even though Mike Roseberry might not agree, the National Merit Scholarship program was rigorous and the competition stiff.

riods at both schools, students participated in the Nine-Week About. At State High Vo-tech students fell under the same class requirements as other students, taking classes such as English and history. While at the Vo-tech, school students chose a trade to major in during their sophomore year. Classes included three year programs such as welding and cosmetology; two year programs such as 1路 data processing; and one year programs, such as dental assistantry.

The Vo-ag program differed from Vo-tech in that students stayed at State High. Using the

shop areas of our school, Vo-ag students were taught by Mr. Seamans, who was also the FFA advisor. The program began in ninth grade and continued until the students' senior year. In these four years, students were taught aspects of agriculture, including computerized recordkeeping, livestock butchering and soil and water conservation.

As Vo-tech student Jen Scott said above, the skills these students learned made their goals within their reach.

Rather, students in the programs stressed the independence and responsibility available to them.

"1 enjoy the smallness.

It's closer and more ,, personal.

Out of the confines arying greatly from the High School, the Alternative Program offered a different type of education to students in grades seven through twelve. The school took a less traditional approach to the education process by catering more to the student's individual needs and interests. In an atmosphere of freedom and closeness, as Carla Bates noted, the students felt they learned better and enjoyed school more.

A major difference in the Alternative Program was in the school's education format. As the school felt that all of State College could comprise a stu-

dent's learning experience, the was an open campus. This independence and "general freedom," according to Dave Passmore, a senior in the program, "made the Alternative Program more appealing."

A variety of less-traditional classes set the Alternative Program apart. "I'm much more interested in my classes," noted senior Celeste Willey, who took Botany, Meterology, Native American Studies and a class on the Constitution. Independent Contracts designed by the students, such as Brandon Keat's "Self-Hyponosis," appealed directly to the student's

own interests.

Travel played an important role in learning at the Alternative Program as well. A trip to the Winter Olympics gave the journalism class an opportunity to take pictures and write editorials. Time spent abroad, such as Carla Bates' trip to Europe, qualified for a student's Independent Contract without exchange student status.

In general, Alternative Program students felt the independence and adaptibility of their program improved their years in high school.

Double trouble awaits Melody McCamley, whose time is occupied by two toddlers in the nursery at the Alternative Program.

Everyone knows that seniors don't r ide the bus, but this group will even enter one of the yellow torture chambers in order to have fun together, proving that people at State High are worth a little trouble to get to know.

路 ake the people away from our school, and what are you left with? Tiled walls, neutral window shades and a lot of chalk dust. Let's face it: without the students, faculty and staff, State High wouldn't have much going for it.

The adults probably thought they ran the show here, and we appreciated their efforts. After all, learning would be pretty difficult with no one to teach or keep the school in shape .

However, the seniors spent their last year in high school enjoying a self-assigned position of authority, something they had anticipated for four long years. But even an undisputed king of the hill needs a group to rule--the juniors came in handy. Seriously, though, juniors were more than just people to extort gum from; they too contributed to the friendly atmosphere that made this school a more than a red brick shell.

When we looked forward to coming to school, it was seldom a physics test or the hallway scenery that made our socks go up and down. At worst people made our days bearable; at best they inspired and excited us, bringing life to an otherwise potentially bland experience.

It's my house Living in a land of the free

ur senior year brought the realization of up-and-coming adulthood. We registered to vote and, for guys, to go to war.

Some seniors thirsting for freedom prodded their parents for permission to move out.

Scheming students used lines such as, "the nation trusts me to elect our president, can't you trust me to live on my own?" Omniscient parents often shot back, "soon you'll be in collegewhat's the rush to grow up?"

Others students received a slight kick in the pants. Citing various house-rule misdemeanors, parents decided independent living might slap some responsibility into less-than-cooperative kids.

Once out of the house, these seniors basked in their newly found freedom. For many the bills were as deep as the fun, but at least no one screamed "clean up your room."

The melting pot Tasting America oving: for most this was a word that induced sweaty palms and thoughts of being the new kid on the block.

A nightmare for some, moving was a reality for l\1att Mart. A foreign exchange student from Nordkirchen, Germany, Matt spent a year in State College. The move required a loss of certain freedoms, such as frequenting the pubs of Germany, a. land with a drinking age of sixteen.

Louis Moreno, a foreign exchange student from Spain, described his stay in State College as "sometimes good, sometimes bad." On the darker side Louis disliked the presence of our Spanish military bases and the maneuvers of American marines. Among the American novelties he'd miss most upon leaving, Louis included peanut butter, Coke and New York City. Yet Louis admitted he would remember-more than favorite food or famous cities-his American friends.

pril 15, the day taxes are due, throws fear into every taxpayer's heart. But this date has another, equally ominous, meaning: the day most college acceptances and rejection路s arrived.

Many seniors joined in the fun of filling out college applications for schools around the country. While a large number of students could be comforted by an early acceptance to Penn State or. some other institution, others bit their nails until spring, waiting for some word on their future.

"I'm trying to take the laid-back approach," Ed Liszka told us in early March, when many of us had reached the panic point. Like a number of his peers, he found the waiting much easier than writing essays for his applications, especially the one for which he had to describe his brightest idea. "I don't have any," he explained.

s the chill of winter gave way to a spring thaw, a cloud of gloom still hovered over students from Park Forest. The Corl Street extension closed for repairs, depriving these students of a convenient short cut to school.

No one argued that North Corl Street wasn't in need of some fixing. However, drivers claimed that at a good rate of speed potholes made no difference in their mad rush to school.

A Uni-Mart by the extension increased that route's popularity.

While the more law-abiding might think that the 25 mph speed limit on Corl Street should have slowed down traffic there considerably, those who flew over the little-used road could argue that only their intense desire to get to school forced them to, well, bend the rules a bit.

Master Studio artists began by portraying different aspects of clothespins. Ideas included a giant clothespin abducting a victim and a girl with clothespin hair. After work. in various media, the students graduated to oil paint, filling the halls with the odor of turpentine.

Although the class frustrated its students at times, they agreed that it was valuable. "It was more intense than any art course I've had," said Kyle Frantz. "But I never want to see another clothespin."

Who needs supervision? pring break- the perfect escape from academic pressures and gloomy State College weather. But some of us got away from more than just school. Many seniors experienced a new freedom over spring break this year: freedom from parents.

Rich Frank and his friends took off for Daytona, where they enjoyed self-supervised revelry. "Awesome" was how Rich described his experience, including a close loss in the semi-finals of a bellyflop contest, to a man named "Mr. Bubbles."

Several students traveled to Colorado for skiing, a vacation Diana Roeshot called "incredible." But while Dave Askov welcomed the chance to ski and party without adult supervision, he explained that he didn't really feel the need to be too wild, because "There was nothing to rebel against.''

These students got a head start on everyone's fantasy of an unsupervised lifestyle.

Three fram twenty-one . ....,

The end of adolescence unt Sally already called and Grandpa Jim sent a card. The big question- how did it feel to be eighteen?

To Merris Deivert the "big one-eight" was more symbolic than real. Besides registering to vote nothing else about the age impressed her.

Joel Lynch agreed that "it's no big deal."

Others felt a new responsibility, especially guys like Sean McDonnell who registered for the draft. Of eighteen year-olds who didn't register, Sean said, "It's a nice statement, but it doesn"t really accomplish anything."

For most, turning eighteen was a rite of passage, a state of limbo before the magical age of twenty-one.

Continement ,/

n the summer between our junior and senior year, we flocked to the school for schedule changes. Hoping for a permanent pass, many students asked for eighth period study halls.

After Harrisburg's threat to cut student funds, State High cut permanent passes-and the option of sports, work or leisure during eighth period. Due to the change, Lynn Beebe "accomplished a great deal in the library" instead of training for sports. Like Lynn, many seniors ended school at the 3:12 bell instead of fifty-two minutes earlier.

ath teachers have finally packed away their slide rules, and writers have sent their manual typewriters into storage; computers have become a part of everyone's life. With three different computer labs and numerous "floaters," this school was no place for the technologically fainthearted.

Even those of us who learned computer programming experienced our share of technical difficulties. Robin Williams, who took businesss computer literacy, once short-circuited an entire row of computers by hitting the metal table with her chair. One computer science class suffered an invasion of the bug, which ate up memory until a clever student exterminated it.

While mishaps like these were enough' to make some of us long for the abacus, most students continued the march toward a technological future.

Vegetarianism For those who don't like meat and potatoes... he 1980's: a decade when everyone became health conscious. People everywhere began to exercise on a regular basis and modify their diets. Many started eating better, but relatively few were committed to one of the healthiest diets in the world, the vegetarian diet.

A vegetarian is someone who abstains from eating flesh, including fish and poultry. A commonly held fallacy is that vegetarians eat only vegetables. Of course vegetables are a large part of their diet, but they also eat such foods as pizza and lasagna. Interestingly, the word "vegetarian" wasn't created from the word vegetable, but derived from the Latin root

t'

vegetus meaning "whole, sound, fresh and lively."

Throughout history, a variety of people have been vegetarians, including Leonardo da Vinci, George Bernard Shaw, Paul McCartney, and Sting.

The Great American Meat-out was created to spread knowledge concerning the negative side of meat throughout the nation. National co-chairs Doris Day, Casey Kasem and Ally Sheedy headed the effort, which was sponsored by the Farm Animal Reform Movement. Protesting against world hunger and animal suffering, the Great American Meatout help sow the seeds for vegetarianism across the United States. At

the Penn State University a free vegetarian cooking course was offered that attracted all types of people, from high school students to senior citizens. The course included instruction on vegetarianism, and students concocted one entree in the first hour of each meeting. In the second hour a group of HariKrishnas brought in a full course meal for a hundred people. Said vegetarian Adrienne Mason, a course participant, "It's amazing, all the various types of people I see there -- from mods to Chinese graduate students. And the meal is路 always great!"

Lefties are in their right minds istorically, cultures around the world have looked upon left-handedness as socially unacceptable, even satanic. Teachers commonly forced young children to disobey their instincts and utilize their right hands, even though some studies have shown that such a practice could possibly cause emotional distress.

Recently, though, lefthanders everywhere have rebelled against centuries of tradition to display their uniqueness. Entrepreneurs have made a market out of lefthandedness, selling items such as mugs, scissors and

Lefthanders faced formidable obstacles daily in school. At the crowded cafeteria table the left-hander often found himself sandwiched between two right-handers, resulting in bruised elbows and a generally uncomfortable lunch.

But in spite of the troubles associated with lefthandedness, most southpaws managed to take pride in their special idiosyncracy in spite of the deep emotional scars from forced conformity.

"In sports, I love being lefthanded, because I can usually throw off my opponent."

Routine Getting stuck in the rut of life lick. Your alarm clock came alive V" with a vengeance.

Sleepily, you moaned and shoved your head under the pillow, but the pillow still could not stifle the harsh fact that a full day of school awaited you.

Striking the wretched alarm clock, you rolled out of bed and wiped the sleepy dust from your eyes. You stumbled into the shower, shivering under the icy cold stream of water. Because you were running late, you hurriedly threw on mismatched clothes, forgetting to brush your teeth. You ran around the house like a deranged an-

imal, looking for your other sneaker to wear in gym class.

A glance in the mirror showed you a frightening image of disarray.

Frantically, you grabbed what you hoped was your homework and flew out the door to that monstrous day of school. You dreaded the endless day, the eight long periods and the torturous bus ride. The pressures of life seemed to catch up to you.

You realized that you had become a prisoner of the monotony of your daily routine, forgetting even to stop and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.

Friends make it easier to survive the monotony of life. Clowning around at lunchtime, Adrienne Mason and Debbie Lupp rid themselves of the morning's tension.

Driving experiences Remembering life on the range urning sixteen entitled all of us to apply for our driver's license. At first, sitting behind the wheel of a car, hearing the click of the key in the ignition, and stepping on the accelerator made us feel important. However, as the weeks drifted by, the novelty wore off and driving became a routine part of our lives.

It's funny to reminisce about the very first time we attempted to drive. Some had no trouble learning , but others of us were not so lucky! Perhaps you remember sitting, with much trepidation, in the back seat of the car on your first day of driver's education. After the others in your group had confidently driven around

the tiny driving range, you heard, "Now it's your turn!

Having watched such excellent drivers, I'm sure you'll perform flawlessly!"

You got into the car pleased to finally be in the driver's seat. Fumbling with the car keys, you jammed them into the ignition the wrong way. You finally managed to get the car properly started, and while jerking the steering wheel, wondered why your car was not moving in a straight line. Damienne Fenlon recalls, "Unfortunately, I didn't know the difference between the accelerator and the brake! Seeing that I was having a lot of 路 trouble directing my car around the corner, Mr. Adams told me to stop, but when I slammed my foot

against what I thought to be the brake, the car, filled with my whole class and instructor, raced out onto the grassy area! It was very embarrassing!"

Others must also remember being the last one to even get the car rolling because the emergency brake was not pulled. Remember that? You felt so entirely helpless being unable to get the car moving while everyone else eagerly drove out of their parking spot. Luckily, your driving instructor finally came to your rescue and pulled your brake with ease. Perhaps at those times we all got to appreciate better the saying, "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing." Hence the need for driver's education.

After taking a spelling test Chip Kogelmann smiles upon receiving his grade. Not only does spelling count on tests and papers but it is also an essential part of school, an unfortunate fact for many.

Discussing how the founders of America spelled, Dr. Lechnar and his students explore the many possibilities for just one word.

However long the list may be, there is still only one accepted spelling for most words.

Spelling The constant battle for perfection

"My secret: when you don't know the correct way to spell a word, spell it differently each time. One time you will be correct."

-Corinna Knight

o some of us it comes naturally, yet to others it poses a daily obstacle. Forevermore we hear English teachers griping about it. Over what?

Spelling.

Interesting enough, spelling ability is in no way indicative of intelligence. Actually, it is a neuromuscular skill which you are born with.

Spelling is like shooting a basketball through a hoop.

Some get ten in a row while

others are lucky to get one out of fifty. It's just a natural ability that some are born with and, unfortunately, some are not.

These days, many students have the luxury of having access to a word processor with an automatic speller "builtin." Says junior Tracy Howell, "I could never get along without my trusty word processor!" If the program is any good, your spelling shortcoming will soon end.

And when

we were younger Working at that fast food restaurant could get, well, slightly embarrassing. At least we knew millions of other students were stuck in Burger Kings, Denny's and grocery stores. Besides, some State High faculty probably could have sympathized with us.

Before teaching, Mr. Sutherland worked odd jobs, as a cigar maker and soda jerk.

Mrs. Gill worked as a factory worker in a cheese plant. Mr. Vernon's previous occupations included encyclopedia salesman and clam boat fisherman.

Other faculty held jobs such as a tour director, a liquor store clerk and an insurance salesman. Mrs. Soyste r inspected books and worked as a cosmetologist while Mr. Rodrick drove a truck and directed Camp Waterfront.

Mr. Baumbach took perhaps the biggest career change--from a nuclear machinist mate on a navy ballistic missile sub to photography teacher.

The mystery of the past: Now a . teacher, Dr. Lechnar eagerly poses for the camera before sit ting for his yearbook photo. The question--was he a model before entering education?

When high school

dreams don't always come true The closer toward graduation, the more planning we do for the future. And making goals was as important during our junior and senior years as it was for teachers, faculty and administrators during their years in high school.

Only about thirty-three percent of the teachers wanted to be a teacher in high school. Mr. Boris said "I knew since fifth grade that I wanted to be a social atudies teacher." Yet Mrs. Price swore she'd never be a teacher, planning instead to be a multi - lingual business person.

Some teachers, like Mr. Placky who wanted to go into music, had big plans for the future: "My band was going to make it soooo big." Mr. Deivert's goal was to be a Lutheran minister and Mr. Sutherland's aspiration was the State Police.

Maybe Mr. Barto's goal was the closest to many of our own--to just get through high school.

Does life exist

after

3:12?

It happened to the best of us. As the minute hand inched toward 3:12, our minds drifted farther from school and closer to life after school. Similar thoughts were on the minds of State High faculty. 路 Many teachers listed reading, gardening and traveling as after-school hobbies. One of the sports enjoyed by most faculty was golf, followed by jogging, fishing and hiking. A few, such as Mr. Baumbach 路and Mr. Victor, collected model railroad cars, wbile Mr. Boris collected baseball cards.

Another widely-enjoyed activity was vacationing, with spots such as the Maine coast and almost any beach being some of the most popular.

Yet some teachers had little summer vacation set aside for relaxing. Mr. Deivert left his vacation for the math curriculum and tests. A devoted Mr. Placky, saying "there is no life after school," explained, "summers are for kids.... " Doing the duties a hall monitor should, Mr. Patrilak watches the halls during lunch. Grading a folder of his classes' quizzes leaves more time for leisure act ivities at home.

Jump on a moving train In October of 1987, Mr. John Vendetti became Dr. Vendetti, earning his doctorate in Curriculum Administration from The Penn State University. His prior jobs included an instructor of teacher education and supervisor of student teachers at Penn State. In assuming his position as vice-principal, Dr. Vendetti had really "no idea of its complexity."

Originally from Utica, New York, Dr. Vendetti earned a two year music degree in music education from Onondaga Community College. Next came a Bachelors of Arts from Potsdam State University and a Masters

from Penn State, both in music education. A trumpet player, Dr. Vendetti held a ten year position with the Catskill Symphony Orchestra.

For our school Dr. Vendetti supported "leadership which focuses on instruction 路improvement and staff development." His goal was to foster an environment--supporti ve, not threatening-that would encourage development and growth.

To deal with students he stressed patience and support. His expectations for us were high--that in our interest areas we all achieve to the best of our ability.

After hours It was worse in kindergarten, when teachers achieved a status somewhere between a magician and Miss Judy. Not only did they hold the proverbial key to knowledge, but they, unlike the rest of us, could color between the lines.

With the years our reverence for teachers cooled some. Still, seeing your chemistry teacher shop at KMart with her kids felt strange. A beaker of hydrochloric acid belonged in her hand, not W ednesday's blue light special.

Although tempting, the thought that teachers existed only from periods one to eight was wrong--as wrong as believing that we did, too.

When students can't be caught in the halls, Mr. Hopkins moves into another frontier--trout fishing. The unsung hero, Mr. Williams, rows during their fishing trip in Yellowstone National Park.

when academic pressures left us feeling bored or frustrated, we had another outlet to turn to -- clubs and organizations. The number of different activities available was equalled only by the variety of personalities joining them. From math club to marching band, student council to Student Voice, there was an organization to meet every need.

For all their differences, though, the organizations at State High had one important point in common: the ability to bring together a diverse mass of people and transform their energy into pride, friendship, and solid results.

Whether they met once a month or once a.week, these organizations played a major role in their members' lives. In turn we gave as much into our organizations as we received, contributing our own characteristics to the unique identity of each group. We didn't join various activities just to hide out in the crowd. On the contrary organizations reflected our individuality, so it was only natural that these groups established reputations that were, like their members, more than a little Off the Wall.

Leadership leads to fun and results for politicians devoted to

Laying a solid foundation America has its Congress, Great Britain its Parliament, and West Germany its Reichstag. Like any well-run community, State High depended on its governing bodies to provide direction and 路 organization. Senior and junior senates represented each class, while student council brought seniors and juniors together.

Each group had its share of traditional activities to organize. Student council shouldered a large chunk of responsibility for Homecoming, setting up such events as Spirit Week, the Homecoming dance, and voting for King and Queen. Both senates work~d to raise money for charity, staged the annual Powderpuff football game, and participated in the

Homecoming parade. In addition, senior senate spiced up the dreary days of late winter with a time-honored favorite, the dance marathon.

These expected activities could have kept student government busy all year, but they managed to put new ideas into action while reviving old ones. Before school started, student council and senior senate worked to establish a new tradition, a luau-pig roast-pep rally, to welcome us back to school.

The event was a grand success, proving that the power of student government lay in both classes' ability to pool their talents and surprise their classmates with the results.

To make it all run smoothly Most of us thought we were doing well simply by going to class, bringing in excuses, and returning library books. But some students took it upon themselves to do more than just keep out of the administration's hair.

Peer listeners and office and library aides gave their time and effort to help school officials create a more friendly school atmosphere.

The Peer Listening Center allowed students to talk over their problems with sympathetic classmates, concentrating on finding the root of the problem. This group also

Library and office aides provided extra sets of hands and feet for various errands and duties, relieving some of the pressure on overworked staff members . Without these student helpers to deliver passes and generally pitch in wherever needed, the school would have been one step closer to chaos. Although these students often went unnoticed, their absence would have represented a major catastrophe.

These students in grades ten through twelve used VoTech to work toward their personal goals in many fields from cosmetology to heavy equipment operation. Working together on such projects as selling candy, members

were able to take trips to Ashland and Philadelphia.

For those who sought training in the field of agriculture, the Vo-Ag was the answer. They could take classes in many diverse fields from soil research to agricultural business. T:hese courses prepared students for managing all aspects of a farm.

Many adventurers went even further combining Vo-Ag with Cooperative Work Experience to find hands-on experience in their fields.

After a long, hard school day, these athletes slammed their lockers shut and headed to the playing fields, gym, track, and swimming pool. 路 State High athletes worked dynamically for team unity and spirit, through practices, pain, sweat, victory, and defeat.

We jumped higher, ran faster, and kicked harder, all to soar higher. Outside of school, other students pursued unique sports such as cycling and windsurfing.

Whatever the physical activity we chose, each one of us combined athletic excellence, both in spirit and in performance, with enough fun to make the hard work more bearable. It was unusual to see a school with so many teams that dominated their sports, but equally unusual to see teams that had such a great time establishing their powerful reputation. For us sports meant more than just wins or losses; they were a chance to cut loose and be a little Off the Wall. ~

n the sunshine of August, the rain of October and the snow of November, the varsity field hockey team kept a rapid pace through their successful season. Mrs. Trunzo coached eighteen girls from the triple and double days of preseason to the three months of daily practices and grueling competition.

A balanced attack was the key to the team's success. Guided by Sally Spear's nine goals, the offensive power of the team was well distributed among thirteen different scorers. Senior goalie Shelly Marshall, who had 161 saves, led a defensive line that allowed only nineteen goals all season.

Headed by senior co-captains Diana Roeshot and Kate Whitmore, the team capped their season with championship titles in the North Division of the Tri-Valley League and District VI, finishing in the top 16 of the PIAA playoffs for the State Championship.

any standards.

Preseason doubledays saw the team running as many as sixteen miles a day, and workouts after school were hardly less intense. But time trials and repeat quarters on the course paid off when State College boys dominated every regular season meet in which they competed.

Senior Drew Sanders led the team both as captain and as the team's highest finisher, winning every regular season race he entered, as well as setting a new State College course record. Juniors Dave Clark and Jonathan Pritchard provided consistent performances to push their team to impressive victories at some of the state's most competitive meets.

After winning the District VI championship, the team went on to place second at states, which was somewhat of a disappointment to team membe.r s who had been hoping for a state title. However, the boys' season will always be remembered as an impressive one, continuing the tradition of dominance established by

here were some problems, but路 we accomplished a lot." Co-captain Pam Matten effectively summed up the girls' cross country season with this statement. The team's accomplishments were quite impressive: they remained a powerful force statewide, topping off the season with a fourth place finish at the state meet. With such a successful record, it's hard to imagine what the problems were.

However, there were some rough points to the season, especially a nagging illness that plagued four-year varsity letter winner and cocaptain Jill Lynch. The team also struggled in the early part of the fall to close the gap between its fifth and sixth runners.

How, then, did the cross country team manage to accomplish all it did? "This was a veteran team, and they knew what they had to do," remarked Coach Steve Gentry. Indeed, with ten seniors on the team, the girl harriers had no problem finding leadership. Stellar performances by Laurie Morrow and dramatically improving times by Stefanie Merkle helped the captains steer their team in an upward direction. Pam Matten, Mara Salamon, and Sharon Lester rounded out the all-senior top five for State College at states.

But most of all, the girls' cross country team was characterized by a strong sense of team unity. From the preseason camping trip in Canada to the excitement of the state championships, this team showed that working together was the key to maintaining a tradition of excellence.

Fifty seasons of soccer: reaching goals and

Scoring big A ~ tate High soccer celebrated its fiftieth ; , , season this fall with a successful season for the hooters. The first five games of the season provided competition against teams ranked in the top ten of the state. Although this opened State's season with three losses, it built a base of experience to carry through the rest of the season.

The team moved to defeat nine teams in a row, including victories over sixth ranked ELCO and Tri-Valley rivals Middleburg and West Snyder. A win over previously unbeaten Erie Cathedral Prep and a tie at Williamsport prepared the team for District six playoffs.

In semifinals of the playoffs, State ground out a hard-fought victory over Altoona. With the start of the finals State dominated play, although Somerset got on the board first and led 1-0. State rallied before the half to take a 2-1 lead. The Lions held on, winning the District Six Championship 5-3 and earning a berth in the PIAA state playoffs.

The State High hooters, one of sixteen teams left in the state, came up against Williamsport in the first round of post-season play. After a draining first half the score was knotted at 0-0.

State broke down in the second half, letting in four goals. Williamsport held on to its lead, knocking State out of the playoffs.

The team ended its season with ten starters on the Tri-V.alley All Star team. Tri-captains Bill Smith, Randy Mast and Steve Mitchell led the team in this rewarding fiftieth year of soccer at State High.

I ~ their first winning football season in V three years. State got off to a characteristically slow start, losing to Cumberland Valley, Cedar Cliff, and Punxsatawney. The Lions then rebounded with two straight victories over Lock Haven and Altoona. The game against Altoona took place in a sea of mud, but an eighty-

yard drive early in the game provided the winning points. The next week State High fell to Hollidaysburg, the team they would eventually face for the district title. A three-game winning streak followed, with ¡ State beating Shikellamy at Homecoming and defeating two strong teams, DuBois and Indiana. The regular season ended on a cold Saturday night in November with a crushing loss to Williamsport, a team ranked among the top five in the state.

For the first time in the four years of the District playoff game, the Little Lions qualified to fight for the title of District Six AAAA Champions. After an exhausting, exhilarating game the Lions were victorious, capturing their first District title.

From this year's team, seven seniors received nominations for the Big 33: Jon Bartsch, Craig Collison, Dave Kiely, Tim Kulka, Doug Phillips, Bob Porter, and Dylan Wadlington. Head Coach Ron Pavlechko summed up the season by saying, "This year's team members are best characterized as battlers. They never gave up trying hard, even when circumstances seemed against them. Through their perseverance, they earned the label 'champions'."

A new kick wo sports at State High did not always compete interscholastically, but remained very competitive. Lacrosse met as an intramural sport after school and girls' soccer, playing teams from the Harrisburg area, was a club sport.

The IM lacrosse program has become a four year tradition. Mr. Glick's strong support for the program has been an enormous step forward in introducing lacrosse to many high school students. The lacrosse program had two eagerly awaited seasons, one in the fall and the other in spring. The players met two or three times a week_ Due to popularity, the group had two divisions according to skill level. The rules followed differed slightly from those followed in NCAA lacrosse because of equipment necessary for a fuU contact game, but the program encouraged State High players to try playing collegiate lacrosse.

After a late start the girls' soccer team practiced in rain or shine twice a week to play teams from the Harrisburg league of girls age thirteen to nineteen. Practicing with the Penn State women's soccer team taught the girls new and advanced skills. With their speed, coordination and stamina, the girls' soccer team ended their season with only two close losses.

Putting for a season

Under par

t

he State high boys' and girls' golf teams finished out two very different seasons. The boys' team was heavily involved in competitions with many teams in the Central Pennsylvania Golf Association (CPGA); unfortunately, the girls' team had only one match because four teams cancelled their matches.

The boys' team, led by senior captain RO'n Gilligan, swung themselves to a record of sixteen wins and five losses. The team competed against Penns Valley, Hollidaysburg, Huntingdon, Bishop Guilfoyle, Altoona, Bellefonte, Tyrone and Central Phillipsburg. The team also competed at several invitational matches including the York Invitational and the Wheeling Invitational. Four team members, Ron Gilligan, Kevin Myers, Kurt Trimarchi and Brian Porta, qualified for the District Six championship.

However, no one placed high enough to go on to the P IAA State match. Coach Mutzeck commented on the season by saying, "I enjoyed working with the team. We had our ups and downs, but I was proud of the team."

Because of cancelled matches, the girls' golf team did not get to compete against many other schools this season. The team did compete against Phillipsburg, but lost the match by an aggravating four strokes. The girls also competed in and won the Bolton Memorial Invite. The team is looking forward to more competition in the next season.

Co-captains Cindy Malcom and Trish Strong provided court leadership while middle hitter Alison Marshall and outside hitter Sarah Cookson provided an exciting offensive game in their sixteen league matches as well as tournaments. After a slow start due to injuries to key varsity members, the ten girls on varsity finished the fast-paced season with an impressive six game winning streak and qualified for district playoffs with a season record of 9-7. Although eliminated from the district championships, the girls were proud of a fine season.

In their third year of existence th e boys' volleyball team came alive in district as well as tournament play. Coach Tod McPherson relied on the experience of three year starters Craig Collison and Scott McCormick as well as the fire power of senior Shawn Swanson and junior Brian Hale. The team began their competitive season with a bang, bringing home a second place trophy from the prestigious Cambridge Springs Classic Tournament of ten teams. This was the first trophy ever for boys' volleyball at State High. With a varsity squad of six seniors and six juniors the team quickly became the force to be reckoned with in District VI. Since there were not many individual schools in the area with boys' volleyball, State High received most of their 路 experience by participating in three major tournaments around the state as well as hosting their own ten team t ournament.

Hitting the boards for scores

In victory oming off a successful 1986-87 season which saw the Little Lady Lions post a. 17 -7 record and reach the Western Regional playoffs before losing to Butler High School, this year's squad faced the formidable task of reaching similar heights.

The team returned a strong lineup of five seniors and four juniors. They also enjoyed the addition of senior Alison Marshall, a transfer student. Tina Henry and Jen Kretchmar were named co-captains for the season.

Opening the season with the Williamsport Tip-Off Classic and a game against Pittsburgh powerhouse Elizabeth-Forward, the Little Lady Lions stumbled after a four point halftime lead to lose by fifteen. The team responded in the consolation game, doubling Carlisle's scoring output. A string of victories followed.

State High defeated Bellefonte, Penn Hills, Clearfield, DuBois and Penns Valley. After a marginal win over Penns Valley, Coach Frank Guerra responded, "I don't think this team [State] is playing very good basketball yet."

Nevertheless, the Lion's record stood at an impressive 8-1 as they headed into their rugged Mid-Allegheny Conference schedule.

Guerra's worries proved to be valid; his players were trounced at Hollidaysburg and Altoona pounded the Lady Lions on home court by twenty points. The Lady Lions rebounded to dump Bishop Guilfoyle and to claim a thrilling victory over Bishop McCort. In a rematch against Hollidaysburg, fine rebounding and clutch shooting resulted in victory.

In early February the team entered the Altoona Field House seeking revenge on this powerful team. After a first quarter lead, turnovers led to a four point deficit at the half. State battled back the last seven minutes of regulation play to find themselves with a one point gap and 1:40 left on the clock. The Lions were unable to connect, and a fouling an Altoona player led to a heartbreaking two point loss.

Whatever the outcome of the season, many memories of the 1987-88 Little Lady Lion squad remain: decorated lockers, Tina's polevault crutches, cold bus rides, morning practices, miles of ankle tape, and the pleasing sound of a gymnasium full of bouncing basketballs. ~,. (..,""

lthough the boys' basketball team did not have high expectations, they VV drilled themselves with a positive attitude. Under the leadership of tri-captains Matt Carlin, Russ DiMarcello and Doug Phillips, the team held together to keep up the spirit of State High boys' basketball.

This was not a team with one superstar, but one with ten members who played with great intensity. Coach Joe Slenker took these ten players and molded them into a unit. Some key players were point guard and three point shooter Curt Cronemiller, defensive specialist Derrik Ferrell, and bench leader Matt Janowski.

The season experienced its highs and lows, opening on a high note in December with a second place finish at the State College Tip- Off Tournament. Then January came and injuries to key players resulted in a short slump. However, the team managed to pick up the pace and played some polished basketball. Although the season record had its blemishes, the boys never gave up working on a stronger game. ~

Perfect 11 fter much work and great team ef~ fort, the State College girls' gymnastic team landed on top. With the support of coaches Julie Lynch and Susan Bair, the nine-member team perfected routines for a season record of 11-0. The team's success came not only from its hard work, but also from its positive attitude. Another important factor was that all nine members were team veterans. The team's goal was to gain the District VI championship title from defending champions Altoona.

After vaulting through an undefeated dual meet season, the girls traveled to Bellefonte in pursuit of their goal. Unfortunately they landed just short of defeating Altoona; however, they were still represented at the state championship. Mitch David qualified to compete in the all-around and Jen Kreider qualified for the floor exercise and vault. David finished at an impressive sixth place in the floor excerise event at states.

tate High swimmers pushed themselves through many of coach Peter Moyer and assistant coach Jackie Pollack's workouts. The extra yardage completed each day helped the swimmers reach and surpass many goals. As the water bottles at the ep.d of each lane in the pool read, it was the year of the "Big Squeeze."

Last season five top boys graduated, leaving this year's team with only one senior, Matt Hettche. Hettche led the team as co-captain with Pepper Santalucia and raced through many fast 200 and 500 yard freestyles, shattering District VI and school records in both events. The skills of several strong sophomores and juniors could not always compensate for lack of depth. This weakness was felt when swimming against Clearfield, a team with 23 boys. At both meetings the boys lost by only a few points, but they had outstanding races. At the end of February the boys won their tenth consecutive District VI championship title with eight boys qualifying for the PIAA State Meet.

What the boys lacked in quantity they made up for in quality.

In contrast the girls' swimming team, with 28 members, had no problem filling the three spaces in each event. The season\vas filled with quali ty performances by many seniors and juniors. Senior Stefanie Merkle and junior Maxine Braune led the girls in distance freestyle and junior Annie Marshall led in sprint freestyle. In mid-January the girls suffered their only loss, defeated by Cumberland Valley.

However, th is meet was a positive experience, providing excellent competition and good times. Overall, the girls saw their hard work pay off with a su,ccessful dual meet season and their third consecutive District VI championship title with nine state meet qualifiers.

The diving team was small, but its strength was large. The consistent high scores of Andy Moyer and P aula Mann helped them to place fir:,t at many meets. Because swimming and di,路ing combine scores, Moyer's first place fini:-hes ga,路e \'aluable points towards the boys' :-\\'imming efforts. Both Moyer and Mann qualifi ed for the PIAA State Meet.

Winning grip he first fifty years of State College wrestling came to an end with the retirement of Len Rockey. His retirement paved way for Galen McWilliams, giving him the chance to start the second fifty years of "strength and courage." McWilliams, along with assistant Tom Sallade, geared up the young squad with an enthusiastic spirit.

The wrestlers, realizing the tough season that they were to encounter, started training in early October. Although it was a slow start, they never quit. The team pulled together and brought their record up to a respectable level.

The season started off with the highly competitive Top Hat Tournament at Williamsport, followed by several dual meets to close out the first month of competition. The months of January and February were filled with intense competition against Lock Haven, Shikellamy, Phillipsburg-Osceola, and the Centre County Tournament.

The tri-captains of the 1987-1988 team were seniors John Bove and Bob Porter and junior Aaron Songer. "This team was like a family.

They did many things together and that made it a special season," said captain Bob Porter.

John Bove commented on the season by saying, "The one thing that impressed me was that there was no 'clique' among the team. Everyone worked together always trying to help one another get better and achieve their goals."

Three wrestlers, John Bove, Aaron Songer and Bob Porter, advanced to the Western Regional Meet. Aaron Songer, wrestling at 119 pounds, advanced to the PIAA state championships.

The people that helped encourage the team were not just wrestlers. The fans, the cheerleaders, and the parents never gave up on the team and provided the support necessary for a successful season.

n the winter of the XV Olympics, the State College Ice Hockey team had a powerful season. As of mid-February, the team had a winning season, with eight games in addition to plus state playoffs. Due to limited practice time at the Penn State Ice Pavilion, State College Ice Hockey teams have always been at a disadvantage in the state competition.

The action and aggression drew record attendance at the games. The rowdy crowds often cheered the team onto victory and frustrated many opposing teams. One bench-clearing brawl at a home game made the fans even rowdier than the players dealing the blows.

The team existed as one big family this year.

There were three sets of brothers on the team: Joe and Steve DeWalle, Chris and Jim Hollis, and Brian and Ben Ladrido. The team captains were Chris Hollis and Iain Gold. Kevin Meyers laid his body on the line as goalie. When asked to sum up the season, team inspiration Garrett Porterfield said, "Yeah."

Both teams, coached by Mike Shapiro, have reputations of dominating the Central Counties Tennis League. This year the girls were undefeated in the League. Junior Carolyn Pickering, who played number one singles most of the season, won District VI singles. Co-captains Paige and Kirsten Willey placed second at Districts in doubles. All three qualified for states.

The boys' team opened their season during a colder than usual March. Their first match was a disheartening loss to Juniata. Losing for this team was unusual; the boys have only lost a few matches over the past years. After losing four strong seniors to graduation, this year's team had to bounce back with consistent playing. 路 The team was led by Mark MacDonald playing number one singles, and MacDonald and Mark Preston led the team in doubles.

nance this year both indoors and out.

Both the boys' and girls' teams enjoyed their usual reputation as statewide powers.

Indoor track, which lasted from November until spring break, provided weeks of relatively uninterrupted conditioning for the athletes, most of whom were preparing for the outdoor season. The teams competed at several meets, all of them invitationals. The girls' team traveled to Princeton for a relay meet, while the boys competed twice at Slippery Rock. Both squads participated in meets at Lehigh, Dickinson, and Penn State.

The outdoor season began immediately after spring break and lasted until the state championships on Memorial Day weekend at Shippensburg. Both teams opened their seasons at the Pennsylvania Track Classic at Villanova, where they performed well despit e inclement weather. Some of the most fierce competition in track came in April, when both the boys and girls journeyed to Philadelphia for Father Judge Relays and, one week later, the prestigious Penn Relays, where they competed against teams from all over the east coast and as far away as Jamaica.

The girls' track team, coached by Steve Gentry, was led by a strong senior class in all areas of competition. Consistently outstanding performances were turned in by Laurie Morrow in distance events, Jill Lynch and Mara Salamon in middle distance, Lee Lochbaum and Amy Gervinski in the sprints, and Nancy Smilowitz in the throws. Several talented juniors also added to the team's depth, particularly thrower Maxine Braune and sprinter Heather Rockey.

On Coach Jackson Homer's boys' team, leadership by example was provided by seniors Drew Sanders (distance), Pete Eberhart (mid dle distance) and Joel Lynch (distance). Drew and Pete started the year solidly with undefeated indoor seasons in the 3200 and 600 meter runs, respectively. A strong crew of underclassmen contributed to the team's scoring effort., led by juniors Ron Dickerson in the jumps and sprints and Jonathan Pritchard, Dave Cla rk and Rich Bundy in distance running.

The Student's Guide To Life Outside The Wall Fires change lives MAKING YOUR BUSINESS

Fires affected the lives of many county residents this year. These fires included forest fires in West Virginia and a church fire in State College.

On November 13, 1987 the skies of State College glowed as a tragic fire struck Saint Paul's United Methodist Church on East College A venue. Firefighters rushed quickly to the scene and battled the blaze throughout the night and into the early morning. The fire almost completely destroyed the sanctuary of the centuryold building.

However, in the face of tragedy, the community united to re build the church. Members of the congregation as well as the community donated supplies, labor and support to

the reconstruction effort, and succeeded in restoring the church to an operating level.

Later in the year Centre County residents had further contact with the effects of fire. However, this experience was not nearly as direct as the Saint Paul's church fire. Massive forest fires in West Virginia which destroyed thousands of acres of land, combined with strong winds out of the south, blew significant amounts of smoke to Pennsylvania.

While the smoke created extremely hazy conditions which produced some beautiful sunsets, it also produced some problems. People who suffered from respiratory problems were forced to remain in doors.

Problems plague State College water system throughout year Several water problems plagued the State College area this year. These ranged from the discovery of hazardous cysts in the water supply to the bursting of water pipes.

In the reservoir that supplies the State College area, cysts of a microscopic organism known as Giardia were discovered.

If ingested, these cysts could have been potential-

Guide

ly harmful, as they are the cause of Giardiasis, a sickness characterized by flulike symptoms which are much more severe than those of an actual flu virus.

The cysts were discovered during routine water tests done by the State College Water Authority.

As soon as the results were confirmed, the Water Authority issued a waterboiling order to counteract the cysts. They urged the boiling of all water used for eating or drinking purposes, and encouraged the use of bottled water.

The discovery of the cysts also forced the closing of local schools, which could not provide the necessary bottled water on such short notice.

Soon after the discovery of the cysts, another water-related problem occurred. A water main on College Avenue burst, sending thousands of gallons of water streaming down the street. This also forced the temporary closing of College Avenue..

Monongahela oil spill hits Pittsburgh, Ohio River

In early January residents of Pittsburgh and many other towns along the Monongahela and Ohio Rivers found themselves battling one of the nation's worst inland oil spills in history. The incident started when an oil tank owned by the Ashland Oil Company collapsed, releasing its contents into the Monongahela.

The tank had recently been disassembled in and shipped from Cleveland, and then reconstruct ed.

The Ashland Oil Company had not done the routine tests to ensure the safety of tanks of this kind before filling it, and they did not have the necessary permits to operat e such a tank in Allegheny County.

After the tank had been loaded, it unexpectedly burst, sending its 3.8 million gallons of oil over protective barriers and into the Monongahela. The oil then proceeded downstream.

23,000 Pittsburgh residents were without water and another 750,000 were forced to ration water because of the accident. From Pittsburgh the oil traveled down the Ohio to other river towns like Wheeling , West Virginia.

The spill could have been much worse. If it had occurred during the warmer summer months, it could have caused irrepairable damage to the area's ecology, as fish would not be dormant, and birds would have migrated from the south.

Jimmy ''The Greek'' fired for racist comments Scandal struck the sports world this year when Jimmy "The Greek" Snyder, long-time sports commentator for CBS Sports, was fired after making comments which were interpreted by many to be racist. Snyder was being interviewed in a New York restaurant about the role of blacks in American sports when he remarked on camera that he believed that blacks

212 THE WALL

were physically more capable of succeeding in sports than whites. He then proceeded to say that if blacks were to take over the playing positions in professional sports such as basketball and football, then the only remaining spots for whites in sports would be in management positions.

These statements caused an uproar among civil rights organizations, public interest groups and politicians. They organized several protests and launched a campaign to have Snyder fired. After an emergency meeting CBS officials announced that, as requested, Snyder was to be fired.

The Snyder scandal rekindled the debate over the lack of blacks who hold management posi tions 路 in American sports.

In their quest to attain equality, groups such as the American Civil Liberties Union capitalized on this incident in order to further the cause of minorities in America.

Mike Tyson defeats Larry

Holmes and Tony Tubbs

Mike Tyson, the twentyone year old upstart from upstate New York proved to the world once again that he is truly deserving of his title as the World Boxing Association's Heavyweight Champion. His latest occasions to prove himself came in impressive victories over Larry Holmes and Tony Tubbs.

In January, in a widelypublicized fight in Atlantic City, Tyson took on Larry Holmes, who had ruled the boxing world until his twin losses at the hands of Michael Spinks. The fight did not take long, as Tyson knocked Holmes out in a short twelve minutes.

Following his seemingly effortless defeat of Holmes, the "Dynamite Kid" turned his fists on Tony Tubbs, who was reknowned for his over weight stature. Much like Holmes, Tubbs proved to be absolutely no match for Tyson, who easily scored a knockout.

Winter Olympics dazzle world

The fifteenth Winter Olympics, held in Calgary, Canada in 1988 had very few victories in store for the United States. However, they provided a forum for the most outstanding athletes in the world to display their greatest talents.

Many American athletes were disappointed at the winter games. In fact the United States received only six medals. American figure skater Debi Thomas stumbled twice in the final competition, and she placed third as her arch-rival, Katarina Witt of East Germany, took the gold medal, and Elizabeth Manley of Canada grabbed the silver.

The American hockey team, which upset the Sovi-

et team in the 1980 Olympics, failed to reach the medal round this year, with the Soviets skating on to an easy victory. One American who did do well was Bonnie Blair, who captured the gold in the women's one hundred and five hundred meter speed skating events.

There were many other standouts in the winter games. Topping the list was Italy's flamboyant Alberto "La Bomba" Tomba, who skiied his way to the gold in the men's giant slalom. Matt Nykanen of Finland won a very impressive three gold medals for his outstanding ski jumping performances.

Several peculiar participants and sports also captured the interest of audiences.

For instance, Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards the only ski jumper from England, captured the hearts of millions despite his last-place finish. Another free-spirited group was the Jamaican bobsledding team who, despite the lack of ice in their country, represented their country in the Olympics. Audiences also marveled at several exhibition sports which were introduced at the fifteenth winter Olympics, including free-style "hot dog" skiing and short-rink speed skating. These sports renewed interest in the Olympics, and helped to keep the Olympic spirit alive in the world.

Replacement football

The 1987 Na t ional Football League season was blemished by a strike by many of the league's players. Following the players' return, the Washington Redskins went on to victory in the Super Bowl.

The strike was the result of unresolved contract disputes between the players and management. The players hoped to receive rights to free agency, among other things, but the management had other ideas.

When the players refused to play, the management hired replacement players to play the remaining games. This "replacement football" lasted for three long weeks in which stadi-

214 THE WALL

um attendance plummeted, as did the tolerance of the fans. The public, instead of being angry at the management, turned on the players. They found it hard to accept that players who earned over two hundred thousand dollars actually needed free agency.

When the players realized that management would not concede to their demands , many began to filter accross the picket lines.

When the strike was finally broken after three long weeks of replacement football, play returned to its normal level and fans returned to the stadiums.

However, the players refused to concede.

Their attorneys filed an anti-trust suit against the management, claiming that their monopoly of contracts was unfair and illegal. However, the process of suing the league is expected to be a long, drawn out one which may never come to a close.

Thus, the players may never achieve free agency.

The season ended in a highly publicized game between the Washington Redskins and the Denver Broncos. The Broncos were expected to win by a large margin, but the opposite happened. When the game ended, the Redskins, under the leadership of quarterback Doug Williams, were ahead by five touchdowns.

The success of U2 came after the release of their sixth album, The Joshua Tree. When reviewers unanimously proclaimed that it was the band's

After the release of The Joshua Tree U2 embarked on a year-long world tour which included two legs in the United States. Because of their tremendous popularity, the Irish band had to play in stadiums which allowed them to entertain more than fifty thousand screaming fans at one time. U2's success peaked when they received two Grammys for their musical achievements.

Meanwhile, another band was rising to stardom in America. This was R.E.M., a band long recognized as a leader in the alternative music world, successfully making the transition to mainstream American music. Their mix of American folk music and rock appealed to the general public, who sent their album Document soaring up the charts.

Among the many movies which were released in 1987, three films stood out.

Wall Street provide audiences with a sobering look at the business world.

Meanwhile, Good Morning Vietnam and Throw Mom ma From the Train kept audiences rolling in the aisles.

Following the tremen dous success of Platoon, director Oliver Stone created Wall Street, a gripping drama about corporate takeovers and the high-tension world of business. Starring Micheal Douglas, whose line, "greed is good, greed is right, greed works, greed is going to save the USA," brought instant memories of I van Boesky. Charlie Sheen, who had also starred in Platoon, became an instant star.

The small glimpse into the sometimes glamorous, sometimes deadly world of big business captivated audiences and sent Wall Street to the top of the charts.

On the more humorous side was Throw Momma From the Train, which starred Dan ny DeVito and Billy Crystal. This comedy focuses on a man who hates his ex-wife and another who hates his mother. They embark on a wild adventure which creates many hilarious scenes.

Perhaps the biggest hit of the year was Robin Williams' smash Good Morn ing Vietnam. Williams play disc jockey Adrian Cronauer who is sent to Vietnam during the war.

Pres. candidates compete ...

This year the political world was dominated by the race for the party nominations for President. Throughout the year America was surprised, shocked and amused by the behavior of the candidates in their quests for the nomination.

Early on, Senator Gary Hart dropped out of the race due to charges of extramarital relations. The accusations came out of newspaper articles detailing Hart's involvement with model Donna Rice.

Throughout the summer America enjoyed numerous political cartoons lampooning Hart and the "No Excuses" blue jeans comercials starring Donna Rice.

even harder when Hart announced that he was re-entering the race. He claimed that he had been the victim of a brutal media slaughter and that he was re-entering the race to "let the people decide."

Meanwhile, the Democrats were suffering another embarrasment as the media investigated the background of Senator Joseph Biden, who was also seeking the nomination.

The media investigators discovered many interesting inconsistencies in Biden 's background.

Apparently, Biden lied to repor t ers about his class rank in college, and he plagiarized several speeches.

This discovery led to his eventual withdrawal.

Several weeks later, another Democrat made the front page.

This time it was Congresswoman Patricia Schroeder, who announced in a tearridden speech that she would not seek the nomination. These three incidents seriously hurt the Democrats, who continued their search for a strong leader.

New York Governor Mario Cuomo consistently refused to run, much to the dismay of his fellow Democrats. Ultimately , Jesse Jackson and Michael Dukakis turned out to be the frontrunners.

Dole, Gephardt lead While the Democrats were scrambling to find a true leader, the Republicans had their share of problems as well. The main controversy was between Vice President George Bush and Senator Robert Dole. In the months of campaigning there was a tremendous amount of mudslinging between the two candidates.

Dole accused Bush of lacking integrity. Th is "wimp-factor" was effectively dealt with in an interview with Dan Rather.

Under the guise of an interview about Bush's political background, Rather verbally attacked Bush about his role in the IranContra affair. Bush effectively countered by challenging Rather's background.

Meanwhile, Bush questioned Dole's tax record and published several press releases which were quite critical of Dole and questioned his past records. This led to a highly publicized confrontation on the floor of the Senate.

As the Iowa caucuses

approached, the debates contained more conflict and the media campaigns grew more intense. When the votes were cast in Iowa, several surprises were revealed. Although Richard Gephardt's and Robert Dole's leads in the Iowa polls were no surprise, the second place finishers were. On the Republican side, Pat Robertson, the television preacher, came in second, as his "invisible army" of supporters came forward to cast thir votes. Meanwhile, Paul Simon was the Democratic runner-up, surprising many with his strong finish.

Iowa also marked the downfall of Alexander Haig. After he received zero percent of the votes, he announced his withdrawal from the race and expressed his support for Republican Robert Dole.

However, Iowa was only the first of many caucuses and primaries. The American public was sure to be exposed to many more of the political games which surrounded the nominating process.

Black Monday stock crash on Wall Street.....

On October 19, 1987 the eyes of the world turned to Wall Street, as the stock market suffered its greatest loss in history. On "Black Monday" the Dow-Jones industrial average registered a three percent loss. In addition a

record six hundred million shares were traded, more than double the amount traded on any other day. This decline was considerably worse than the famed stock market crash of 1929, which preceded the Great Depression and represented only a thirteen percent loss.

The stock market crash of 1987 set off a wave of economic crises throughout the world. On Tuesday losses of twelve percent and fifteen percent were recorded on the London and Tokyo markets.

Throughout the rest of the week investors held their breath and prayed for a rise in stock prices, but none was to be found. Instead, the stock market began a wild series of sharp rises and declines, which eventually resulted in little change.

Wall Street tried to combat the volatile nature of the stock market by closing the market earlier than usual and by limiting trading.

.....As

markets decline throughout the world

Meanwhile, the chairman of th,e Federal Reserve Board, Alan Greenspan, acted quickly in a series of moves designed to restore consumer confidence and to prevent the crisis from escalating.

According to analysts there were several causes of this apparent economic collapse. First, the United States' alarmingly high budget and trade deficits contributed greatly. The two hundred fifty billion dollar American debt has long been a negative factor in the economy, and it caused further problems on Black Monday. A major cause of the decline was computer-aided program trading. This enabled investment firms to trade millions of shares in seconds, th us causing the . enormously high trading volume on Monday.

However, many economicsts blamed the crash on aJtificielly high stock prices. The claimed that prices had been inflated, and the crash was a natural correction in the market.

After the initial shock of Wall Street's collapse, investors tried to determine its results. Some claimed that the crash represented the ultimate failure of Reaganomics, but this claim was contested. However, the stock market crash of 1987 will have one lasting effect. It has induced a tremendous amount of caution in America, which may serve to rebuild the economy.

In the small town of Marion, Utah, one of the most bizarre events of the year occurred. It involved a fam ily of polygamists, tales of ressurection and around one hundred fifty police officers and FBI agents.

The event started on January 16 when an unknown person destroyed a Mormon church using over seventy-five pounds of dynamite. Evidence pointed to Adam Swapp, who lived with his two wives (also his sisters-in-law) and thirteen other members of their family.

When police arrived at the Singer Compound, the home of the polygamists, in order to arrest Adam Swapp, they were met with gunfire. By the end of the day one hundred fifty offi cers surrounded the complex where the family was hiding with ample supplies of food, water and ammunition.

The Swapps announced to the police that they were not afraid to die.

In fact they claimed that they wanted the police to kill them, as they believed that violence would cause the resurrection of John Singer, Swapp's father in law . Singer, was the founder of the polygamist sanctuary and an ex-Nazi who was killed by police in a similar siege in 1979.

In

Argentina

In January of 1987 violence erupted in Argentina as army troops staged a rebellion against the civilian government. This latest rebellion represented the trend of growing tension between the military and the civilian government in the country. If not controlled in the future, this situation threatened to plunge Argentina into chaos.

The revolt was led by Aldo Rico, a Lieutenant Colonel in the Argentine military. Rico faced a court martial for charges of human rights violations stemming from a series of political assassinations which occurred in 1986. Other charges against Rico included bribery, fraud and

To

endangering state security.

Two weeks before his trial, Rico fled to the mountains and gathered his supporters. The charismatic Rico summoned several hundred troops at the military base at Monte Caseros, where he established his base of operations. From Monte Caseros, Rico staged several attacks on strategic locations throughout Argentina.

When news of the rebellion reached the Argentine President, he immediately dispatched two thou sand troops loyal to the government.

In the subsequent battle the government troops held a definite advantage over the rebels, and they quickly crushed the revolt.

A similar revolt occured in Argentina on Easter of 1987, but the crisis was dealt with through negotiations with the rebels. These twin uprisings demonstrated the rising tensions between the military and civilian government. An eight year military rule in Argentina ended in 1983, when the civilian government took over. Since that time there has been great tension between the two groups.

The violence also threatens to disrupt the country's fragile economy. This can only lead to further instability in the country, and possibly revolution.

South Korean violence Violence rocked the streets of Soeul, South Korea this year as protesters rioted for democracy and free elections. The violence began in June, when ChunDoo Hwan, the ex-President of South Korea, announced his retirement and picked Roh Tae Woo as his successor.

The people of South Korea, particularly students and labor groups, were appalled by the announcement. Roh, who was reknowned for his anti-labor, anti -student policies, represented a tremendous threat to them.

A week-long protest was organized throughout South Korea, in which there were numerous clashes between riot police and rock-throwing students. Caving into public pressure caused by the protests, Roh agreed to submit a new Constitution which would establish free elections in the country.

The news of the first free elections in South Korea in more than sixteen years encouraged opposition leaders. However, the major opposition party, the Republican Democratic Party (RDP), was experiencing intternal conflicts. The two major personalities in the RDP, Kim Young Sam and Kim Dae Jung, could not agree

on a party platform to implement in the important election.

This difference of opinion caused a division in the party, and the two candidates and their respective followers split apart. Violence continued throughout the candidates' campaigns, as supporters of one RQ.P candidate would throw rocks and bottles at the other candidate, while students hurled fire bombs at riot police. Eventually, this unfortunate division was to have a disastrous result on the election and possibly on the future of South Korea.

When the votes were finally counted, Roh won the election with a total of thirty seven percent of the vote. However, the two Kims received a total of fifty five percent of the vote, with the remaining eight percent going to various opposition candidates. Thus, had the opposition leaders been able to agree on a platform, they could have defeated Roh. With this realization, both Kim Young Sam and Kim Dae Jung publicly apologized for their actions and held their heads low as South Korea was plunged into another wave of antigovernment protests.

Reagan and Gorbachev sign the INF Treaty.....

The world applauded this year when Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev and American President Ronald Reagan took a historic first step towards the end of the nuclear weapons race. This step came in the form of the signing of the Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty, which was the first true reduction in the number

222 THE WALL

of nuclear weapons in the history of the arms race.

The INF Treaty mandated the elimination of all nuclear missiles with a range of 300 to 3400 miles.

When applied, this would represent the elimination of 436 of the United States' nuclear warheads and 1575 Soviet warheads.

This reduction was the first ever to be agreed upon by both sides, and hopefully will act as the stepping stone to many more such reductions.

The terms of the treaty were initially agreed upon

by Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Schevardnadze and American Secretary of State George Schulz in Geneva, and plans were made to sign the treaty at a summit in Washington, D.C. on December 7, 1987.

Months before Gorbachev arrived in the United States, the American media began a campaign to examine all aspects of the summit. Ultimately, most of the attention focused around the life of Mikhail Gorbachev.

.....And

hope to end the arms race

The media seemed to be possessed with the Soviet Premier. In the many hours of news coverage and pages of newspaper and magazine articles, America was saturated with news about Gorbachev's family, lifersty le and education. His domination of the news led to his being named Time magazine's "Man of the Year."

Many people hoped that more would be accomplished at the summit than the signing of the treaty.

Many expected Reagan and Gorbachev to make progress in the areas of human rights, the Afghanistan conflict and the fate of Soviet Jews. They were encouraged when Gorbachev stopped in Britain to discuss the Eastern European situation with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

The American people responded to Gorbachev even more favorably than the American media had.

For weeks Gorbachev was the focus of almost every conversation. His face was plastered on billboards, flashed on TV screens and printed on t -shirts.

Meanwhile in the summit meetings, little was accomplished other than the signing of the treaty. However, the importance of the event cannot be over stressed. The INF Treaty represented the first real reduction in the number of nuclear weapons in the world, and it paved the way for further reductions.

Throughout the year the world was shocked as it learned of terrible disasters occur in g around the globe. In the Phillipines a dangerously overcrowded ferry, the Dona Puz, collided with the oil tanker Victorwhich was loaded with highly flammable petroleum products.

The petroleum products immediately burst into flame, and the flames spread to the surrounding water. Passengers on the Dona Puz jumped from the ferry and into the flaming ocean. When all of the casualties were counted, more than sixteen hundred people drowned and burned to death.

In London, England a terrible fire erupted in the

King's Cross subway station. Subway travellers were trapped in the deep tunnels of the London subway, while others unknowingly rode down escalators to the fiery chaos below. To make matters worse, trains entering and leaving the station fanned the flames and made the fire spread.

At first, authorities believed that the London fire was caused by an arsonist or a terrorist group. However, after further investigation, they determined that this was not the case. According to their findings, a cigarette was dropped and ignited trash underneath the escalators. A total of thirty people were killed in the blaze, which was the worst subway fire in London history.

Several tragic plane crashes also occurred this year. After losing contact with a South African jetliner for ten minutes, air traffic controllers received a desperate distress call from the pilot who reported that the cabin was filled with smoke.

Phillipine unrest Two years after the infamous dictator Ferdinand Marcos fled the country, the Phillipines were once again plunged into political turmoil.

Plagued by economic and administrative problems, Phillipine President Corazon Aquino was threatened by growing opposition from Communist guer illas and from her own armed forces.

When Aquino was elected follow ing Marcos's flight, P hillipinos finally had a reason to hope for democracy and freedom.

However, things changed quickly. As the Aquino administration faced problems of economic instability in the country and corruption in the government, opposition grew and the delicate situation in the Phillipines threatened to collapse.

Following widespread reports of corruption, Aquino ordered a full investigation into several governmental depart ments. The results were shocking. Apparently, many of Aquino's closest allies in the government were blatantly abusing their power and positions.

This discovery led to widespread unrest among the people.

Then, in August, a rebellion was started by Colonel Gregorio Honasan , who had opposed Marcos and who had been loyal to Aquino. After taking control of communications stations in Manila, Honasan announced that he was leading the rebellion because Corazon Aquino was taking the

country down the path to destruction. He claimed that the corruption in the government was widespread, and that Aquino had failed in her responsibilities as President.

In the conflict between government troops and H onasan's two thousand followers, more than forty people were killed and an other three hundred injured. Government forces soon had Honasan on the run, and he fled to the jungle where he avoided recapture for three months.

Meanwh ile, the New People's Army, the Communist guerilla group fighting the Phillipine government since Aquino's election, took this opportunity to organize several bombings, which killed an additional twenty-seven people. In response to the bombings several thousand Phillipine citize.n s gathered together to form anti-Communist vigilante groups.

These citizens were supplied with weapons by the Phillipine government.

In the midst of fighting between the vigilantes and Communist "Sparrow Squads," so named because of t heir abi lity to move and strike quickly, Aquin o announced the capture of Colonel Honasan.

Afghanistan to be free Soviet Leader Mikhail Gorbachev announced in February his country's intentions to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan.

This was perhaps the best example of the Soviet leader's policy of glasnost, which he has followed since taking office.

According to the plan Soviet troops were to begin leaving Afghanistan on May 15, following an agreement signed on March 15 by the Soviet and Afghn leaders. If all goes according to plan, Soviet troops will have left Afghanistan by March 15, 1989.

Many believed that the Soviets had been searching for a way to pull out of the Afghan conflict for quite some time. The conflict began in December of 1979, when Soviet tanks rolled accross the Afghan border and Soviet paratroopers stormed the capital city of Kabul. The Soviets instituted a new government in Kabul and poured over one hundred thousand troops into Afghanis tan. Since that time, a bloody war waged

between the combined forces of the Soviet and Afghan armies and the mujahideen, the Afghan resistance forces.

Although the Soviets expected a quick and easy victory in Afghanistan, they underestimated the unity of the Afghan people. Since 1979, the mujahideen held the Soviets off and even scored several major victories .

Through the use of United States supplied Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, the rebels effectively neutralized the once feared Soviet Hind helicopter gunships, the main weapon used by the Soviets in Afghanistan.

One of the major conditions of the Soviet withdrawal was the cessation of aid to the rebels by the United States and other countries. Although this could prove to be a major sticking point, it was the only negative part of the Soviet withdrawal. The most promising point of the withdrawal was the Soviet promise to accept any government which is formed after they leave.

New evidence was discovered this year linking Austrian P resident Kurt Waldheim to war crimes committed by the Nazi forces during World War II. As the evidence against Waldheim mounted, his opposition grew and his position was threatened.

The new revalations about Waldheim's past came in the form of a telegram discovered by historian Dusan Plenca in Yugoslavian archives. Although the authenticity of the telegram was disputed by Waldhaim and was not verified, many were convinced of its truth.

The telegram was a message from Lieutenant Colo-

nel Kurt Waldheim, then a member of the Ustasi, a fascist force stationed in Yugoslavia during World War Two. It requested a t ransfer of over four thousand prisoners captured in fighting at Mount Kozara, in western Yugoslavia, to prisoner of war camps.

Further records show that these prisoners were transferred to the Grubisino Polje and Zemun camps, and subsequently to camps inside Gennany and Norway .

However, supporters of Waldheim were quick to point out that the telegram and these records did not actually prove that the Austrian President committed any war crimes.

Regardless of his guilt or innocence, the accusa tions of Nazi war crimes had a definite impact upon Waldheim's political career. In 1986, when rumors of Waldheim's Nazi activities surfaced, the United States prohibited him from entering the country. He then published a book in which he attempted to dispell the rumors of his wartime activities, but it did not greatly improve his image.

Meanwhile, Austrian citizens were forced to grapple with the potential reality of having a Nazi war criminal as their head of state.

Hope for peace in Central America ...

Following seven years of political turmoil and social upheavel in Central America, the first steps toward peace in the area were taken in 1987. A treaty signed by the presidents of the five Central American Republics in Guatemala City, Guatemala, known as the Arias Peace Plan, laid the foundation for negotiations

which would hopefully end the conflict in the region.

The author of the treaty, Costa Rican President Oscar Arias, incorporated several necessary measures in his peace plan.

Arias called for an end to hostilities, the formation of National Reconciliation Commissions to deal with insurgencies and negotiations between all combatants.

Immediately following the signing of the treaty, improvements were made.

In Nicaragua, where the Contras had been fighting the Sandinista government since the 1979 revolution, many political and social reforms were passed.

However, problems soon occurred. The November 5 cease-fire deadline passed and none had been negotiated. Meanwhile, Honduran President Jose Azcona refused to negotiate with insurgents. Nicaraguan plans to expand their military also hurt the peace plan.

u.As Arias gets Nobel Peace Prize

To make matters worse, Ronald Reagan requested more aid for the Contras.

His initial request was for $250 million, and severely threatened the peace process.

In the face of tremendous doubt about his peace plan, Arias persevered and maintained that peace could be brought about. Soon events began to swing in his favor.

First, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, one of the most prestigious prizes in the international community. With renewed confidence, Arias doubled his efforts to solve the conflicts in Central America.

As the year came to a close, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega made some astounding announcements. Ortega revealed that he had asked Cardinal Obando Y. Bravo, one of his most powerful opponents, to mediate negotiations between the Sandinstas and the Contras. He also announced plans to lift the state of emergency which had existed in his country since 1979.

Perhaps the strongest boost to the peace plan came in February, when the United States Congress voted against the President's request for aid to the Cont r as, which had beenreduced to thirty five million dollars.

Election violence in Haiti

After years of suffering under the tyranny of dictator JeanneClaude Duvalier, citizens of Haiti finally saw a ray of hope as the military junta, which had ruled the nation since Duvalier fled in 1985, called for Haiti's first presidential election in thirty years. However, their hopes were shattered in late November as election day violence plunged Haiti into a state of chaos.

On November 29, 1987, when hopeful Haitians lined up at polling stations in Port-au-Prince, the nation's capital, members of the dreaded Tomtom Macoute, a paramilitary group led by supporters of deposed Duvalier regime, destroyed any chance for Haitian democracy. The gangs brutally attacked voters with machetes and handguns, killing at least thirty four people. They also stole

ballot boxes, interrupted religious ceremonies and chased other voters away.

The leader of the military junta, LieutenantGeneral Henri Namphy immediately halted elections and declared that a state of emergency existed in Haiti. Opposition lead ers attempted to organize several marches to protest the electionday violence, but attendance was sparse as most Haitians feared renewed attacks from the marauding gangs.

No new violence oc curred, despite the concerns of the voters, but there was still an atmosphere of fear in Haiti.

New elections which were held on January 17 also failed to bring democracy to Haiti. Due to expectations of corruption in the junta-run election, most Haitians participated in a boycott and refused to vote, despite government measures making voting mandatory for all citizens.

Those who showed up at the polling stations reported bribing of officials, stuffing of ballot boxes and other forms of corruption.

Following these continued failures of the junta to bring democracy to the country, many Haitians have lost faith in the government and can only hope for improvements in the future.

On December 8, in response to the murder of an Israeli merchant, Israeli troops in the Gaza Strip reportedly rammed the cars of several Palestinians, killing four Arab youths. The next day, the streets of Gaza City were filled with angry Palestin ians protesting the Israeli violence.

Israeli troops responded with force. Crowds were dispersed with rubber bullets, tear gas and helicopters. Meanwhile, the Palestinian mobs threw bottles and rocks. At one point the world community watched in horror as an Israeli soldier fired on a crowd of protesters with an Uzi submachinegun.

As the death toll mounted, the dissent spread throughout the occupied territories, and also to Palestinians living in Israel. Violence rocked the cities of Nazareth, Jerusalem and Gaza City. Just as things seemed to be settling down, Israeli troops broke into the home of Bashir Hamid, a leader of the Palestinian resistance, and ordered him to leave

the country.

This new Israeli aggression sparked a massive riot by four thousand Palestinian youths which was dispersed by riot police with tear gas. Strikes were called and marches and vigils were held in memory of those who had been killed in the violence.

Meanwhile, the United Nations and other international organizations were declaring the Israeli actions deplorable. For one of the first times in history, the United States voted for a resolution which severely criticized the Israeli actions and demanded that they be immediately halted.

On the h.eels of the U.N. declarations came the worst violence in recent months. Services held at Temple Mount, one of the most sacred places in both Judaism and Islam, to pay homage to the Palestinians who lost their lives, were disrupted when Israeli troops fired tear gas at protestors who had assembled there . This brought on a wave of rock th r owing youths who charged the troops. The troops then stormed Temple Mount, thus violating a sacred holy place of the Palestinians.

There was no end in sight to the renewed ArabIsraeli conflict. However, unless Israel chooses to deal with the growing force of Arab nationalism in a peaceful and rational manner, the only future for the occupied territories will be more deleterious violence.

Panama's Noriega indicted on drug Charges ••••• For years the United States has been battling drug smugglers in an attempt to stop the flow of illegal drugs into the country. This year, the legal battle against international drug flow was raised to a new level, as American courts indicted a high ranking official of another country on drug charges.

General Manuel Nor-

iega of Panama had been facing strong opposition.

Mass protests in Panama forced him to loosen the iron grip which his forces held on the country and allow the opposition paper, La Prensa, to open.

In November of 1987 one of Noriega's chief aides, Jose Blandon, was approached by the U.S. government. The U.S . asked Blandon to try to convince Noriega to retire.

Blandon's loyalty to Noriega was not as great at his loyalty to his country, so he agreed to cooperate.

When Noriega learned of these plans, he immediately fired Blandon. In response Blandon revealed evidence which incriminated Noriega to U.S. attorneys. Then convicted drug smuggler Stephen Kalish added to the evidence against Noriega.

When all of the evidence was collected, Noriega was suspected of receiving over five million dollars in bribes, protecting drug smugglers from international authorities, election

fraud, the illegal sale of passports and laundering money.

These astounding revelations sparked waves of protest in Panama. As the citizens of the country learned of Noriega's corruption, they stepped up their efforts to return the government to a civilian democracy.

Meanwhile, the U.S. had to decide on a course of action. The U.S. had significant evidence to prosecute Noriega and was rumored to have official documents which clearly showed the corruption of the Genreral.

However, if they chose to indict him, they would have little chance of prosecuting him, as he wouldn't extradite himself to the U.S. There was another good reason against prosecuting General Noriega: the Panama Canal. The Canal is one of America's most valuable interests in the region.

Without it, U.S. security and economic in te rests would be dangerously compromised. Because the Canal is scheduled to be turned over to Panama in 1999, indicting Noriega might have threatened American access to the Canal by increasing tensions between the two nations.

However, the U.S. decided to risk this and prosecute Noriega, thus sending a. message warning drug smugglers worldwide, that America was getting tough on drugs.

North, Poindexter indicted

Just when America thought it had heard the last of the IranContra scandal, Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh returned from his fifteen month investigation with twenty three indictments for four of those involved in the scandal.

Indictments were filed against former National Security Council Aide Oliver North, former NSC Advisor John Poindexter, Businessman Albert Hakim and Air Force Major Richard Secord. The four were charged with theft of government property, fraud and conspiring to conceal an illegal plan to supply the Nicaraguan Contra rebels.

The group first made the news in 1986, when it was

revealed that they had helped to divert seventeen million dollars in profits from American arms sales to Iran to help the Nicaraguan Contras. During hearings designed to uncover the truth, they became instant media stars. Since the indictments were handed out, though, their popularity rapidly declined.

Independent Counsel Lawrence Walsh's task was not an easy one. He was prohibited from using any information uncovered in the Iran-Contra hearings to indict those involved. A key break through came when the govern ment of Israel agreed to release top secret documents which revealed their role in the scandal, as well as the role of those indicted.

As all four of those indicted maintained their innocence, a trial likely awwaited them. However, the trial would likely be a long and drawn out one, and the possibility exists that President Reagan. would pardon them if they are convicted.

Whatever the outcome, the actions of Walsh served to promote justice in America, and had widespread support. Many believed that, because of this support, the President would not pardon North, Poindexter, Hakim and Secord, since this would also hurt his popularity.

US troops in Honduras In mid-March tensions rose once again in Centeral America as news sources report ed that Nicaraguan troops had moved into neighboring Honduras. This action caused President Ronald Reagan to send 3,200 U.S. troops to Honduras as a show of support.

In a major offensive against the Contra rebels involving approximately six thousand men , the Nicaraguan Sandinistas launched heavy attacks against Contra positions in northern Nicaragua and southern Honduras.

Reportedly, fifteen hundred Sandinistas crossed into Honduras while in "hot pursuit" of rebel forces. This action sparked international tension and a swift U.S. response.

President Reagan ordered that 3,200 American troops from Fort Bragg, North Carolina be deployed to Honduras as a show of support for the country. They were not

•

involved in any combat, as they were specifically prohibited from travelling near the battlezone.

The President's action drew mixed responses. Republicans cheered the action as a blow to Communism, while Democrats harshly criticized it as an escalation of t ensions .

Public criticism was also widespread. Protests were held in several cities including New York, where three thousand people marched from a recruiting station in Times Square to the United Nations.

In response to the Nicaraguan offensive Honduras acted with force. Four F-5's from the Honduran Air Force bombed Sandinista posit ions along the Nicaragua -Hond uaras border in an effort to force the Nicaraguans to leave.

They eventually pulled out, and, several weeks later the American troops returned to the U.S. amidst cheers and sighs of relief.

A cure and a cause for insanity ,I~â&#x20AC;˘ hen we were asked in August

They say that close friends start to look like each other, and Barb Burris and Bill Bishop prove the point in their matching trenchcoats and backpacks.

VV' if we were looki'ng forward to the start of school, most of us answered, "Well, I'm really psyched to see all my friends again." If school was too tedious to handle, friends were our salvation.

We made friends everywhere- in class, in extracurricular activities, or even in the parking lot. When we failed a trig quiz, our friends reminded us that no one uses the stuff in real life, anyway. When we passed our driver's test, our friends were the first to congratulate us (and bum a ride). When we needed to abandon reality and let our Off the Wall side show through, we counted on our friends to join us.

Even though we didn't always realize it at the time, many seemingly commonplace events will stay with us for years to come. Someday we'll be telling our children about: the time there were cysts in the water and we had to drink from coolers in the hallways ... being chased by Mr. Farmer... assuming the "protective posture" for tornado drills. . . and a whole host of Off the Wall happenings in our high school careers.

his book reflects the long days and nights of the yearbook staff, who sacrificed school and sometimes friends for a book full of memories. Yet even the yearbook "supermen" and "wonderwomen" could never have finished the book without the following people: Melissa Ferguson; the administration; Chip, Chuck, Jim and Bob, from the custodial staff; Chuck Fong and Steve, with their outstanding photography; understanding teachers who let us miss their classes; and students and staff who submitted articles and pictures.

Thanks, too, to all those at Jostens, especially Bev Harader, Rick Brooks and Lenny, for their constant help and patience in the face of numerous crises and deadlines.

Lastly, thanks to Mrs. McPherson, for unlimited use of the CRC and non-stop support, and to Mrs. York, for the opportunity to learn and grow.

The beginning of the end: tire tracks in front of the school signal the start of an era of construction.

Since no tall buildings are available, the yearbook staff takes a jump Off the Wall.
