As the year began, students reflected on all that had come before them. The unique vantage point of the one h undredth anniversary of State College provided the unique opportunity to take ONE LAST GLANCE at State High in years past. 1n 1896, when it iJ.1corporated, State College was a center of agriculture. The Pennsylvania State College attracted scholars by leaching lhe latest in agricultural science. A century later, Penn State's renowned science and engineering programs still placed it on the forefront of technology. In its first year, just seventee11 students and one teacher made up State High. In a simple classroom, pupils gathered a basic education in EngUsh, history, and mathematics. In 1996, State High' s two-building campus hosted over 2000 students and employed more than 250 staff members. Students took courses in almost every subject- from electronics to pottery, meteorology to cosmetology. Through all th<it changed over one hundred years, though, the timeless spirit of State Hig h remained th e sanie. Students continued the trad ition of working, learning, and competing, and resolving to make the world a better place.

Throughout their lives, students met a variety of people w ho helped mold them into wha t they had become. As they reflected on their own pasts, s tudents took ONE LAST CLANCEatthcpeoplethathadmade their lives special. Students thought of their parents, step-parents, brothers and sisters, and all of their relatives. Even as they began to assert their independence and consider moving away from home, students acknowledged their relatives' contributions to their lives. Many students remembered role models that guided them during their youth. Some regarded famous musicians, athletes, actors, or politicians as their heroes. Others recalled teachers, coaches, and counselors that had made a special impression. Friendsheldaspecialplaceinmany students' fondest memories. Friends could always be counted on for support, advice, understanding, and love. Some friendships were close bonds; others were just friendly classmate relationships. Sometimes just a smile from a stranger passing in the hall was enough t·o brighten one's day. After pausing to think about it, students realized how many people had contributed to their lives.

As they reflected on childhood, students remembered special memories that seemed as vivid as when they had firsl occurred . Flipping through these Sllapsh ots in their minds, students took ONE LAST GLANCE at th eir most memorable moments. Some students remembered interesting vacations and lrips that had taken th em to exciting parts o! tlle world. Others recalled a personal perforroance, such as brilliant recital or a game-winning play. Recollections of special achievements, earning an A+ on a science project or winning first place in a fierce competition, also eagerly surfaced. Other memories from childhood seemed much more mundane. Students remembered playing in the sandbox, attending a birthday party, or having a sleepover with a Friend. Thoughts of the days without the stress of school and work brought smiles to the faces of ma ny teenagers. As they continued to move on in the world, the fond memories of youth continued to comfort. Although students looked forwa rd to meeting their futures, images from the past provided a stable found ation on which to move on.

Hopes for the Year •••••••••••••••••••••••• Based on their experiences in the past, students began planning for the future. After taking ONE LAST GLANCE at their histories, students set goals and expectations for U1eyear to come. The thought of a fresh, brand-new year inspired students to set new goals for themselves. Some resolved to improve their grades by studying harder and by working more dili-

gently.Others decided to learn anew skill by taking a course in cooking or crafts or electronics. Hoph1g to become more ilwolved m the school community, some aspired to join another sport, dub, or after school activity, or even just to make a new friend. As graduation approached, still far off for freshmen, but only heartbeats away for seniors, students began making decisions to plan their futures. While somesought a job to find a supplemental source of income, other students practiced for their driver's license test which would single-handedly determine their freedom. The beginning of school was a time to reflect on the past and formulate desires and dreams for the year and years to come.

Life on Ea_~·ch •••••••••••••••••••• • Since the beginning of time, there has always been life on earth. As individuals in a school environment, s tudents represented a very unique and culturally diverse world . Maki ng a tremendous impact as they prc:>gressed through their years, each class made its own special m1irk. Throughout the one hundred years of lhc State College community, every student that passed throug h in some way left his or her mark on this hometown. Living in a community such as State College !ended itself to many opportunities for fun, work, recreation andenjoyment.Manystudentsoccupiedtheir lives by either working at a nearby business or dedicating theirown time as a volunteuat not only the local hospital, but also the many other chanty groups across the county. With so many students offering their time to work and to charity, the minutes until free time a rrived were counted closely. This leisure time included the gathering of friends a11d thech1u1ce to have as much fun as could be packed into one evening. As students grew older, and the bonds stronger, these outings included week-e nd camping trips, as independence was given in small enough doses to sample what the real world would actually be like. Whether it was fun or work related, the life that each s tudent led in his high school career had a trcmendousimpacton hisschool and community. Taking ONE LAST GLANCE at such accomplishmen ts during this one hundred year celebration only added to the pride and dignity that students held for State College.

"This is the rhythm of the night" echoed off the walls of the old gym all day and all night. This tww, the Dance Marathon theme, became very familiar after the twenty-six grueling hours of da.nctng. Some thoughtof the marathon as a time to be with people; others saw it as an opportunity to benefit the community. '1t was a long twenty•s1x hours where you got to meet new people and be with your friends," said jun ior Mkhelle Lieb. The organizers planned various activities throughout U1e night to keep dancers awake, on theirfeet,andmoving. Eachhour had a theme where participants wore special costumes and lhe OJ played appropriate music. These themes included Mexican hour, "Dazed and Confused" hour. and "Beach hour. Dazed and Confused hour was very appropriateatseven o'clock in the morning. Adding an interesting twist to this hour, the seniors decided lo call an "air raid" onalloftheunderclassmen.

They then proceeded tocoverthe underclassmen with a thin coating of whipped cream. '1 enjoyed getting thrashed by the seniors; and when I arn a senior, I'll look forward to thrashing the underclassmen,'' stated junior Liz Hatcher on the "air raid." Other highlights of the marathon included an hour reserved for relaxation and refreshment in the pool, and numerous team and individual garnes. This year's Dance Marathon benefited those afflicted with Cerebral Palsy, an incurable disability which causesirnperfoct control of muscles and difficulty with coordination and speech. Cerebral Palsy is caused by damage to U1e center of the brain before or during birth. The one hundred and eighty participants in the Dance Marathon collected a total of four thousand dollars to help with research and prevention of the disorder. The senior class, along with

Mrs. Barb Pavlechko, planned and organized the event. The DJ was Tour Michaels, who not only kept participants entertained with ElVis, but also kept Ulcm dancing to their favorite songs old and new. As fatigue set in on and off throughout the night, keeping the body moving became a difficult but essential ordeal. Being motivated enough to stay awake was tough, but most felt it was worth it. lf community service helped keep a person strong and active, then the Dance Marathon was a way to get a full workout. Most pa1ticipants, no matter how much they complained at the time, said that they would definitely do it again. Many students enjoyed staying up late, socializing with friends, and dancing to their favorite tunes anyway. Doing it for a worthy ca~ was an added benefit. The Dance Marathon was an example of how community service could be fun, and anything but monotonous.

"Ren Faire provides a creative outlet for all us geeks and nerdsoutthere," commented sophomore Daniel Belsky. '1l gave mea chance lo explore my femi nine side," remarked Chaim Dahl-Stienburg. This was the one day of U1e year when the guys could respectably wear tights. Despite the absence of U1e plague, offensive body odor, and rotted, 'vorrn-eaten parasitelnfosted food, the annual rainfall, cold morning weather, and the addition of a horse added to the authenticity of the event.

TI1e prom m ea nt different things for both guys and girls. Through it all, one thing was for sure: it was a night to remember for a long time. Planning for the enchanted evening i1wol ved many people, indud ingsh1dents, advisorsand various committees. After everyone found U1eir dates, nothing but decisions lay ahead. However, nota.11 students chose to take a date to U1e prom; they either went alone or with a group of friends. The girls went shopping from store to store in search of the perfect dress tbal not only looked good but also felt comfortable. Tailors fitted the guys for a suitable tuxedo before it was too late. While the g irls spent the last perui.y they had on accessories to top off their look, theguysweresavingtheirmoney for the dinner before the prom. As special preparation, girls got their hair, makeup, and nails done professiona lly. After severa l weeks of difficult, precise, and chaotic preparation, the night fina lly arrived.

On the evening of April 29th, couples were ready early enough for their parents to grab cameras and extra rolls of film. When parents had taken enough pictures to catch the moment, the couples were al last sent off to dinner before the prom. Students went to different restaurants in town, from the Tavern to the Victorian Manor. Dinner tended to create a time of uneasiness while some people avoided ordering s paghetti o r soup for fear it would ruin their perfect attire. Arter dinner, the couples hurried to the State College Elks Country Oub where the fun begaii.Studentsmadeamad rush to the picture area where Chuck Fong and Studio 2 took portraits for any interested couple. Many wanted lo do this task while their makeupwasstil l perfect and their hair intact. Joining the line at the door, the couples slo wl y entered the magnificent room filled with balloons, streamers, and delicious refres hments. Afte r friends

greeted each other, they danced the night away to w ha l would be possibly the best memory of their life. Along with dancing, people ate, socialized with friends, and rested for the next dance. For many people the night did not end at the Elks Club. Several people hosted parties al their houses. This gave studen ts a chance to really relax with U1eir friends. After all the makeup was off,thehairletdownandcombed out, it was an opportunity to talk about how much fun U1ey had had, and lo unwind. Many trekked out into the woods and spend the night camping with their friends. Students strapped on hiking boots to comfort tJ1eir feet after a long night of dancing. The prom was a time to forget about worries, and live in a dream for a night. It was a night to cherish with the people you love. Senior Michelle Roland oommented, "J \'\'Ouldn't miss next yea.r's prom for the world!" The prom was an evening of everlasting friendships an d a memory to last a lifetime.

provides a time for re[a{ation and fun witli friends by Barbara King Scientifically, summer may have ~n the season between spring and fall, but for State High students, summer meant a lot more than that. To them, sum· mer was a time for freedom, relaxation, and fun. Ourin,g the s ummer students and teachers had a chance to sit back, relax, andenjoythesunand everything else special about the season. Almost everyone enjoyed the change of pace that summer brought. Sophomore Jenny Saw· yer, for inst.lnce, liked summer so much because there was no school to worry about. Lisa Nousak, another sophomore, went to a camp at Juniata Col· lege, where she welcomed the chance to learn about science and the arts. Other popular~wnmeractivi· bes mduded skateboarding. bik· ing, and rollerblading. Matt OpdenhoH, a freshman, said he skatebolirded all summer long. Jn addition to visiting Ocean City, Mary lnnd, he attended a Woodward skateboarding camp to improve his skills. An avid

summer rollerblader, freshman john Harvey also moun tain biked, went to soccer camp, visited relatives in Finland, and went to Puerto Rico. He said he had a packed summer but that he en· joyed it very much. Mnny students went o n some kind of family trip or vacation. Whether this was an excursion to the beach, the mountains, or to a nearby town, most said they had fun. Other people decided to s tay dose to home, and see all that Centre County had to offer in the summer. The biggest event, The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts, brol1ght accomplished artists from all over the country to State College to showcase and sell their works. Occurring the week of July 12-15, the summer heat rose to extremes and kept many people m air-conditioned buildings. Regardless, the lugh number of visitors still made the Arts Festival a great success. Many students also participated In another popular summer event,theannualGrangeFairand

Encampment in August. Some farm lies became very active with the Faire, setbng up a tent and staying the duration on the fair· grounds, and submitting livcstockforjudging.Otherstudents just spent a day at the fair, taking in the food, exhibits, and amusement-park rides. The Boal Bam, one of Centre County's community lhcaters, also was busy during the sum· mer of 1995. It brought together amateur actors to create nearlyprofessiona I productions. The season opened withAnnil,a well· known musical ln which many s tudents got the opportu1lity to perform. One of these lucky indi· viduals was Karyn Rockower, a Delta program senior. In adcli· lion to acting in the Bam's rendi· t!on of An11~, she performed in a cabaret with three other students. Students filled the summer of 1995 with camps. trips, special events, and lots of fun. Almost everyone seemed to have a good time, and looked forward to the next summer.

Though Homecoming was better for some than others, overall 1t was a fun time for everyone. Oclooor nineteenth and twentieth hosted a magnificent parade and an exciting football game in the rail\. Thewhole week w3•fullof excitement as sports teams and clubs pulled together lo create spectacu lar floats And to participate in events throughout the week. After the parade the school held a pep rally at Memorial Field . The cheerleaders per· formed their annual skit in· vol\•ing all of the fall sports, while the Marching &nd played some of the ao,,·d's favorites. At the pep rally Mr. Pifer made known the noat winners: first place went to VJCA, and second went to thescruor float with their fifties theme. The halftime of the football game was highlighted by the crowning of the homecominll King and Queen and the announcement of the courts for lhe undcrcla.smen. The fresh·

man winners were Kiva Dappand Matt Lintal. David Coleman and Erin Linehan were the sophomore king and queen. The crowned )Ulliors were Jason Narber and Lindsay Devlin. Receiving most oftheattentionfromtheaudtenee, were the Homecoming King and Queen: Chris Crispell and Nikki Dunn. "Hom ecoming was a great opportunity to see past fiiends and revive o ld memories," remarked sophomore Hilary Gittings of the Marclling Band a.s pcct of Homecoming. Spending valued time with past fnends really added to the celebration of Homecoming and gave U1em the opporturuty to reminisce. Homecoming was a ttmewhen alumru returned to march in the parade and pregame. With 19951996 being the centennial year, many alumni returned lhnl normally mighl not have. Along wi th other members of the community, teachers who had graduated from State High were also featured as a part of the festivities.

Although the weather was less than ideal for the game, It did l.lttle to dampen the crowd's spirit In a close defeat the football team put out an admirable effort considering the adverse condition$. Smiling at the memories of Homecoming, Dl<. Osseo-Asare thought"ltwasswell." Forpcoplc who were used to watching parades from the side of the street it was a uniqueexperi•mce to ride on or walk along side a float. Most students who attended Homecoming agreed with freshm.~n Mike McDowell who commented, "The Homecoming game was okay, and the parade was cool too." As usual, the Homecoming Fe;.tivities proved to be a Jot of fun for everyone, including both lhc students and stall. Tilrough the years State High changed its Homecoming events, bul the meaning remained constant. Homecom ing was a time for remembering the past, celebra ting the present and looking forward lo the future.

gives students a much-needed escape from scfwo{ by Tara Tomashet'ski "! enjoy the peacefulness of being outside and observing the nature that is around," remarked junior Alison Proch explaining what she liked about the outdoors. The thought of the outdoors provided an opportunity to escape the normal humdrum of life. During the school year, it enabled students to break free from the classroom to an open world of beauty nnd fresh air. Whether it was camping. hiking. skiing, hunting, o r fishing, most of the students at State High enjoyed activities in the outdoors. Students fow\d many activi· tiesthatgavethem a chance to be outside. One such activity was hiking. Uvi.ng in a mountainous region created the opportunity for students to explore the local trails and paths. Some students who really enjoyed being outdoors volunteered at Shaver's Creek Environmental Center. Many who enjoyed the out· doors did not confine themselves to hiking. Some opted to live outdoors for a while. Those who were not brave enough to sleep

under the stars found a cabin in which to spend the night. For groups of friends this was a time to practice independence. Although many students ventuied intonaturewithoutfamily, many enjoyedgoingcampingasoneof their family trips. Senior Amy Grielcommented, "llikeitwhen my family all gets together nnd goes uptoourcottage. lt gives us all time to be together and do things like going sailing, with· out the hustle and bustle of daily life." Many enjoyed hunting and fishing in the great outdoors.Sitting in solitude for hours gave many not only the chance to be alone, but also the opportunity to separate U\emselves from a hectic lifestyle. Some students who did not want to actually hunt animals enjoyed simply tracking and watching them moveacrosstheland. Withsnow falling, hunters used the snow as a source for tracking the paths of animals. With seventeen and a half inches of snow falling on State

College before Thanksgiving, snow lovers cou Id not complain about the supply of snow. One favorite snow-related sport was skiing; snowboarding and old· fashioned sled riding were not far behll1d. Some people, on the other hand, found that they were just not made to do wintry sports. Lindsay Beatty remarked, "I went skiing my freshman year and I found out it's just not my sport. My friends kept tripping over me and I almost flew off the mountain." While skiing and snowboarding required agility and balance, sleddi.ng required little thought a t all. For this reason, Sia b Cabin Park, a popular sledding spot, was home to many during the snowy monU\S. Whether in snow or su n, stu· dents of State High continuously ventured outside to enjoy nature and the beauty of the outdoors. With a peaceful and Iran· quil environment, many looked forward to thesetimesasamethod of getting away and reuniting with nature.

The rain made the game

more exciting. lt was fun even though we couldn't do our stunts."

The school honored alumni at assemblies •nd in the Homecoming parade, showing what State High graduates hAvP to look forward to. For the students,FridaywasMaroonand Gray day, where students and faculty wore lhe ;,chool colors. TheseSpirit Days wereespec1ally popular with teachers, bcQuse they could wear jeans with their State College T-shirts. Also on Friday, the morrung announccmentsconcludcd \Vitha rendition of the Alma Mater by a different group or club. The most obvious way for students Lo show Lheir school spi rit was to att~nd and show support at the school's many sporting events. As people realized that it was fun to cheer

for their favorite team, it becarne much more enjoyable to be an athlete. All the teams relished constant support from friends, teachers, and teammat~. '1 know I always do better at my meets when people cheer for me,H commented cross-country and track runner Michelle Roland There were many new events this year as well. The Concert Choir sponsored a contest which c;ha ll enged clubs and organizations to crca le new words to the St.1te High Fight Song. The Key Club won the contest with their updated lyrics. Along with the honor of having their lyrics immortali'led, Key Oub also received a S!OO prize for club use. Perhaps lhis version of the fight Song will be sung until the bicentenrual of State College. People were not always a ware of the little thin&1 that they could do to show spirit for the school; an act as simple as congralulatJ ng a classmate for an excellent performance al a school competition showed spirit.

Another sunple way of showing school spirit was merely to sport a shirt proudly displaying the words "State College.p Student participation in State High's many clubs and organizations created an atmosphere of spirit and cooperation. Whenireshmen first entered the high school, they were not really cognizant of all the events and doings involved with school spirit. As stu dents went tlirough their freshman, sophomore, and junior years, they grew and discovered the activities which interested them Once they had found these interests, they stuck by U1em and participated in them hea\<ily. When students became seniors, they looked back and realized how much they would mil.> the spirited atmosphere. "I want to be a ~ior forever!# declared senior Tracy Shaffer of her high scliool experience. Tlus attih1de was distinctive not only because of the Centennial, but also because ofthe pride and spirit thAt prevailed at State High.

Wrons, said senior Ivan 8ialosto~ky, "This high school is full of conformity People .1re concerned too much w ith what olher people trunk. They shou Id march to the beat of

other. Behind the facade of "band member,# "football player; etc., each person was vastly different. Sophomore Jessica Holt also thought U1at State High was low 011 individuality. Jessica, who tried to stick out from everyone else (or overthrow society, as the case may be), did a variety of thlngs. such as affixing coins, pu~ zle pieces, words, and other object.'> to her forehead throughout the year. There were other students, however, who thought that the school had so much individuality that being different started to be likclmitatingeveryoncelse.Soph· omore Anna Kochersperger con· eluded, "Individuality i:, good unless you do trungs just to be an individual." Many otudents were glad that there was at least some individuality in the school. Sophomore Nan Roi:elle contemplated, "Just think of what the world would be llkelfeveryonewasthesame We would lose all of our source of creativity and evHrything would be bland."

On individuality as a whole Kari Donovan assessed that,

"It's essential not to be a follower; silliness is definitely important; and anyone who lrics to be like someone else is just stupid because everyone has someone special lhat's w\!que to them" Did Uial mean that Jane was not really an individual? Probably, there once was a Jane in our school. People ~an to think that Jane was "cool," but instead of just continuing their lives as normal, they changed. People cared so much about what others thought that they tried to be different, just like Jane. Eventually there was a school full of Janes, and Uic cycle had to start over again. What was Ule point anyway? Was it to be different, to be the same, or that Jane wao just a nice name? lnd1v1duality v1as in one's O\.vn mind, wail· lng for discovery.

Friendship: 1. State of being friends; friendly attachment; friendl iness; amenity. This definition of a friendship was commonly found in schools everywhere. Brad Carles, a sophomore, stated "a friend is a person who !is tens to you complain about something they could care less about." Throughout the halls and in classrooms at State High, the chatter of students discussing everything with their friends echoed back and forth. Friends played a very important role in high school life. Some students thought it made school worthwhile and easier to deal with. Sophomore Hans Coetzee said, "Friends are an important part of high school years. They are always there for you when you need help with homework or anything else." Senior Wendy Muzzio stated, "As you know, friends will come and go throughout high school, but you should realize that these are the best friends you will evt!I have." Friendsarethepeoplewho

cared about you and the things you did . They may not have always agreed with what you were doing, but regard less they would always stand by you. On those offdays when you did make a wrong move, they \vere there with open arms to pick up the pieces. They Uked you for who you are, not what you had, or what you might have become. They were the people you could talk to and teU anyUung, no matter how esoteric it may have been. Friends were there for you Uuough the good and the bad. "No matter what happens there will always be at least someone else to help you through the roller coaster ride "''e know as life," stated, Adam Swartz. These people who helped us so mud1 entered ai1d touched our lives for what seemed like a short period of time. High school was full of the times and the people we will always remember. The band trips, the study halls where we sat and did nothing every week, theclubs where we worked side by side were only fun because

of friendshjps. "Friends protect each other from the fuzzy carnivorous bunnies," con1mented junior Susan Knight. On a more serious note "true friends love and support each other even when times are rough." Other students found friends to be a stabilizing force in their lives as opposed to the insane ways of the restof theadultworld. Friends made up a large piece ofus. They became part of us and we became a part of them. "The key to life is friendship. Friends are there to lend a hand or just a person to talk to . Fdends are truly U1e meaning of life itself," claimed sophomore Nolan Hughes. No matter what you call them, acquaintances,amigos, pals, they are all friends. Through the good and the bad , the happy and the sad , friends wou Id a Iways stand by you. They made you smile when you were feeling down, by reminding you of those moments you would like to forget, and the ones that would be etche<I in your memory forever.

Most students saw a few years of college educaUon ahead of them. Seniors spent much of the first few months of the school year investigating, visiting, and eventually applying t<> colleges and universities. "ln terms of my immediate future," said senior Wes Weimer, "l'vecontacted representatives from all of the col· leges that I' m interested in, and l applied to my favorite early." Foroth~students, the college question had already been answered for them. When asked why he chose Penn Sta te over

other schools, Danie.I Shirer ad· mitted, '1t was mainly because my father works there so we get a tu ition discount. But it was also because they have a really good engineering program, and I'm interested in studying engineering in college. Also, since I've lived here fora while, the convenience of Penn State makes tl1e most sense." Some did not ex· press such positive emotions about U1e fact lha t they had very little control over their college plans. Sophomore Kim Tu commented that she would rather not have the decision made for her because '1t deprives me of the opportunity to see the real world outside of State College." Although college and career decisions did not pressure freshmen and sophomores as much as upperclassmen, many ninth and tenth graders already were planning for the years after graduation. "I am worki ng ha rd to keep up my grades so f can get into a good college," said freshman Papia Debray. Throughout their high school

careers, students made choices and decisions based on the plans for the future.Some worked hard to maintain high grade point averages, class ranks, and standard· ized test scores. Others carefully planned theirdassesso that they would have the necessary experience for a job or a college curriculum. "I' m doing my Chem Tl research project on campus, and because of this, J'll be more used to what research and laborato· ries are like in the real world," said Wes Weimer. Similarly, othe r studen ts joined clubs and organizations to augment their experience and knowledge in a particular area. "Being on the newspaper and yearbook stafis is preparing me for my future in commwlicalion arts and my goal of working in professional jottrnalism," contributed Mike McGiU. Studentsanxiouslylooked for· ward to the future. Although they were never sure what it would bring, they dreamed of what they would like it to be, and tried to keep those doors open.

Future

gives afoundation for a successju[schoo[year by Amy Gric?l "You only get out as much as what you put into something." These infamous words from Dr. Tim Lautzenheiser went on to shape the way many viewed leadership. Whether through a club, organization, sports team, or classroom situation, bold and confident leaders filled the halls ofStatefiigh.Someoftheprominent leaders emerged in the groups that contained the most number of students. The Marching Band, which accounted for approximately ten percent of the student population, did a great deal of leadership training to ensure l11e success of the organization. With so much responsibility placed on the student leaders in the band, lrai n ing of these individuals was necessary. Beginning with a three hour leadership orientation in August, the directors of the band taught various techniques on how to deal with situations and how to lead by example. Many members used these techniques as they proceeded in their everyday activities and expanded

them u1to the classroom environment of the school. Although it clid not always seem evident, leadership in the classrooms was abundant and in many circumstances was essential to the productivity of the class. Teachers viewed the students who spoke up and gol the class moving in both small and large group discussions as leaders thattook the initiative to push things forward. Without the actions of these leaders. classes might have been reduced to a teacher lecturing with no input from students. Those who volunteered to carry things for the teachers or help them with various tasks served as leaders that had success inmmdas their motive. With the leaders in the classroom influencing those around them, many students also carried their leadership skills to the playing fields. The leaders that emerged in the many sports teams at State High directly Jed to the success of the team. With a team as large

as the football team, leaders played an important role in the practices and behind-the-scenes work. When indiv iduals en1erged as leaders, younger students looked up to them and mimicked what they did. For this reason, the actions that the older leaders took literally shaped the group that they were leading. For sports teams with a smaller census, the leadership was just as important. ln these situations, the leaders worked more closely with other team members and become confidants as well as friends. Whether it was in an organization, in a classroom, or on l11e practice fields, the student leadership at State High greatly influenced the success and productivity of the rest of the school. With suclla heavy responsibility on their shoulders, many students found that being a leader wasso.metimesafunand rewarding experience, and rose to the occasion to do the necessary tasks that once again made a successful scllool year.

"Perhaps the most rewarding

aspect of being the High School Band Director is being able to teach the skills of leadership as well as providing students with an opporh1nity to practice those skills in real situations. It is one part of their high school education which I know will be used tbroughout tht.lr lifetime." tvU~,

The Stil le College Area School District and the town of State College marked a historical milestone w ith the commemoration ofits Centennial. The Centennial gave students the opporti.mity lo celebrate, and the opportunity to lea rn about the history of the town and school. All students had U1echanceto celebra te 'the Centennia l before the school year even began. On August 31, students enjoyed a Centennial Party which gave students the opportunity to relax .1nd unwind before the tensions of the year beg-dn. Music and a "dunk tank" were features of the party, which was hosted by the administration. Several facu Ity members and students vohmteered to be victims of the dunk tank. Many other events occurred during the school year. The"Celebrating lOOYearsofEducation" Pep Rally kicked the yea r off to an exciting start. Mayor Bill Welch and school district superintendent Wi lliam Opdenhoff spoke about the llllportance of

theCentenni• l and gave a schedule of Centennial events. Students had lhe opportunity to learn about the history of the school and. wm prizes as well. The "Centennial Question" was a popular feature o f the Daily Announcements where <> question was put "up for grabs" to the student body. Questions ranged from "Who is the only State t-Ugh Graduate to own a Super Bowl Ru1g?" to "How many faculty members are State High graduates?" to "What was LheoriginaJ name of State High's Yearbook?" were some of the questions asked. TI1e Marching Band also took part in Centennial festivities by putting together a "Centennial Show" dwing the halftime of the Glen Mills football game. TI1e band played "East Side, West Side," "Daisy Bell," and "The Band Played On," S<)ngs tha t were popu lar in the L890s. Senior Ivan Bialostosky led the crowd in a sing-along and was even successful in getting all of the people m the stands to sway.

''l enjoyed the Centennial Show a lot because it was rea lly neat seeing everyone having fun singing,'' explained Sara Becker. Homecoming was a time in whichallstudcntsh,1d thechance to participa te in the Centennial celebration. Floats representing classes had themes representing what life was like in past years. Antique vehicles and State High Alumnus were also features of lhe parade. The historical aspect of the Centennial was an importantfeatureof the observance of the milesto11e. Students rea!ived information on th e Centennial through such media as the Lion's Digest, the Student Hnndbook,and even the school calendar. Information varying from a Ccntennia 1 Calendar to the favorite hangout of the 1942 Senior Oass 01ome) could be found in these publications. In alt, the Centennial provided an opportunity for all students to Jeam about the history of the town and the school and have a little fun as well .

ONE LAST GLANCE at one hundred years aso shows that women never thought about becoming doctors and lawyers, and a majority of the men around StatcCoUcseaspired to be fanners, or the heads of the family business. Today, the halls of State College Arca f-ligh School are fiUed with aspirations of walking on the moon and producingthenextGTKmmy wi nnh1g song. Today students have developed as individuals, ru1d therefore, have scl their own dreamsandgoals. Withacontinuow1lygrowing curriculum, the school is able to offer new and never thought of materfals for its pupils. Usmg the Learning Enrichment Department as a tool, students were not only able to go into the community to help teach and spread knowledge, bul also were given the opportunity to expand their education and takeclassesat thenearbyuruversity. The Dclta Program offered students yet another aJt.,mative form of educahon, where classes were smaller and more &eedom was exercised. Regardless of what the form of eduaihon has been throughout the one hundred years of the State College community, the students have always emerged boll1 successfully and victorious, with added respect from both their peers and their teachers. Students realized how Lhciropportunities have grown, and they can look onward to the success they will savor, and the futures they will determl.nc.

"The hills are alive with the sound of music; lyrics from a hit Broadway musical, perfc.:lly described the general Mmosphcre of the music wing in the high school. Herc was the place where the various musical groups •nd classes met, pr.le· tlccd,and performed . From general music classes lo after-school groups to simply practicing in a practice room, student~ found many different music.:il ways to e.xpres..~ themselves. Tile many music classes that students took during high school included large groups, such as band, choir, and orcheslTll, to small groups including piano class, music theory, and musical theater. All of these classes met throughout ll\e by Amy Griel day,givingstudentsa break from the normal dull humdrum of a typical school day. Senjor David Crandall remarked, "I enjoyed piano class because I was able to select music that I was inter· csted in and study 1t as part of my school mate-rial." Some of these classes gave students the opportunity to e.:irn advanced credit and receive a weighted grade for their efforts. Theseadvanced classes included Advanced Band and Advanced Music Theory ll. Sincesomestudentscould not flt any musical courses mto their hectic school sched ule, many opted to join after school groups. Numerous musical groups met after school, giving students a chance to participate in things they could not find bme for throughout the school day lnstrumentaJ groups such •s the Jazz Band, Marching Band and the newly formed Indoor Drum Line, gave those who were involved with band throughout the day an opportunity to try a dtfferent style of mw.ic. Those choral groups which met after school gave st1.1dcnts a chance to receive a more one--on·onc coni1nunication with the instructor, thus rccci ving even more personal help and constructive criticism. Many of the stu· dent; grew as musicians as a result of their after school work. One of the many highlights the school offered the students was the use of several practiceroomswheretheycouldsitalone,orwith friends, and sunply practice their music. Using free time throughout the day, students were able to sit down In a room and practice whatever material they felt lhcy needed to work on. Students used this lime not only to polish up work, but also to in <omecasesto "jam" with th.;,ir peers. Musicians also used this spare time during th<! day to meet with their teachers and receive help on special matenals Before the music.11 festivals, all of the teachers tookvaluabletimeout of their busy schedules 10 go over the aud1tlon materials with the students and prepare them for the upcoming auditions Whether it was through the structured musical classes offered through the set curriculum, or through the free time that students devoted to music, all at State lligh took pride in the compositions they produced and performed.

In passing by room 127 North or 121 South, one might have heard anything from students reotmg Shake;peare for a competition or discussing computer programming to consulttng Ms. Julie Gittings. Mr. Robert Nixon or Mrs. Jill Camp~tl about their futures. \>\'hat program could foster such a wide variety of thoughts and nctivitics but Leammg Enrichment (L.E.)? LE. served in both buildings as, in Mr.J\fo<0n's words, •A resource room foragea1td intellectual peers." Dan Belsky opted for another definition of l...E., saying "It's a place to express creativity free from the bonds of a constrictive culture." Students passed through the doors of the L. E. rooms and immediately had a pool of talent, in theformoftheirpeers, tohclpthemwith that last trigonometry problem, or that last chord on one of the in-house LE guitars. LE. differed from other cht~ in that it offered a much less structured envtronment in which to work, talk, and think. Ms. Gittings called it a "family atmosphere." Students passed freely in and out of L.E., and cou Id choose to work on a table, on a couch, or under a tree. The s tudents' ability to hnndle this freedom and to~ productive with it proved that L.E. was a successful experiment in learning. The atmosphere was ti\¢ i'Mi.11 reason that ma ny students frequented LE.Junior Andy Smith said, "It's a nice place to come to talk with your friends and do some work." The mayhem of the hallway was something some students sought shelter from, and they found a pleasurable alternative to it in the LE. South L.E. tended to focus more on academic teams, like Kno•~ledge Masters, Academic Decathlon and Science Olympiad, but '.\llr. l\1xon affirmed that ''North LE.did not want to be seen as nonacademic," addmg that nwe focus more on multiple intelligences." The Bell Atlantic Tech· nology Grant made it possible for students to access a high·speed connection to the I ntemel in the L.E.,and Ms. Gittings said that "L.B. has been a good teaching place for kids to get s tarted working on the Bell Grant." True, one would be hard-pressed to find another high school where students could create their own home page, check therr E-mail. and re;earch using the World Wide Web all dunng study hall. 1t's much ~lier than study hall and we can learn how to use a computer," l><tid Mike McDowell, a freshman. LE.'s purpose was never set in stone, which is why it was so successful. The reasons to love L.E were many and varied. The task of LE. over Ute four years of a hlgh school student's career, range from "Taming the wild," as Ms. Gittings S<tid, to Mr. Nixon's alternative explanation of L.E.'s p ul'pose, " ...it's where we tum dreams into reality." Nevertheless, that task changed with every student w ho walked through the door.

Many people had misconceptions concerning the Delta Program duet(>the fact that they really were not sure what it was about, how it functioned, or what the program offered lo its students. A closer look revealed that the Delta Program was a unique aspect of the State College Area School System, one that offered each student an opportunity to play an active part in his or her education and learning experiences. One of the numerous goals of the Delta l'rogram was to incorporate students, teachers, and parents into every leamingeiqierience. Each "advising team," consisting of a student, his or her parents, and a teacher, worked to plan Ule stu- by Kathleen Donovan dent's academic year and to set goa ls and to assess achievement. In each cycle of six days, the Delta Progrnm held an All School Meeting, in which a nnou ncements were made and students were recognized for their achievemen ts. ln addition, issues con路 cern.i.ng the school were brought to discussion. The All School Meetings were very similar to a "town meeting," where every person had a right to voice his or her opinions or suggestions on the designated topic. Proposals that were introduced at the meetings were brought lo the Ad visory Cotmcil, which wassim ilartoa board of d irectors for the Delta Program. The Advisory Cottncil consisted of students, teachers, and parent represent!ltives. It was responsible for carrying oul some of the major changes and decisions that would affect the students as well as the entire program. AnoUler unique feature of the Delta Progra m was the varied opportunities offered to eadl stu路 dent. Junior Anne Arrington explained, "Uike the range of possibilities for a student at the Delta Program; I can really follow the path of my interests." Many classes at the Delta Program were either a semester long or only nine weeks long, focusing mainly on specific content areas. These specialized areas included subjects such as Shakespearean LiteratureorDrama.Studentsa lso had the option of taking classes at the high school, as well as exploring various other options including independent study contracts, Penn State classes, and correspondence work. As part of the Delta curriculum, ten hours of community service was required. This requirement added to tlle educational program of each student by incorporating the Stale College community with the Delta Program curriculum. The Delta Program could best be summarized in the words of Delta Program Director Kathy Kelly: '1 guess what I like best about the Delta Program is the spirit <>f c(nnmunity. The people really care about the school and each other." It was the intense caring and dedication that each person put into the Delta Progra m that truly made it the incredible, successful, and enrich.i.ng program lhat il is today.

For most students, science was a part of daily li1e. Whether a hands-on lab or a lecture, each teacher made the various science classes both captivating and enjoyable. The fact that students cou Id choose the courses they wanted to take made sciei:1ce classes even more enjoyable. Sophomore Michael Chiswick-Patterson expressed this sentiment, "The opportunities presented by the varied courses a re more than I could ever have hoped for." Students had U1eopportunity to choose courses ranging from Astronomy to Molecular and Cellular Biology to Oceanography. Most students, however, chose the core courses of the science curriculum: Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The close proximity of a major university further augmented the students' opportunity to explore even bigger and better aspects of the science community. Penn State offered internships, as well as special tours that students could participate in to see what was really happening in some of the top research labs across the country. "Penn State offered stude.n ts who had advanced beyond the realm of high school courses the opportunity to further explore the esoteric aspects of science," explained Huan Chang of his exp~ri足 ences. Jn the classroom, many students enjoyed the lab periods the most. Formostcourses these extra lab procedures required spending six periods a week in the classroom. On one day each week, students remained in science class for two consecutive class periods. Owing the double tab periods students completed in-deplh labs that would otherwise have taken several.school days to fin.ish. Labs served as a change of pace from everyday lectures by allowing students to apply what they were learning. Senior Vinay 13abu expressed his feelings by stating, "Labsareintellectually stimulating and a!low me to acquire useful skills that l would apply in the future." As students progressed in U1eir years, they began taking more advanced science courses, thus giving them the opportunity to \1se more advanced equipment. Senior Josh Rathmell showed his appreciation for the lab equipment, "I'm really impressed by the quality of the photogate timer that we used in physics class." Use of sophisticated Jab equipment coupled with the performance of college-leveJ Jabs made the advanced science courses worthwhile to stude11ts who were willing to work a little harder than average. Regardless of U1e level of difficulty or the number of science courses taken, all students got not only a tremendous amount vf knowledge, but also many rewarding experiences from the scie11ce classes at State High. Senior Wes Weimer summed it up by stati ng, "We are getting one of the best science educations, if not the best.''

"Doing the wave in math really .made what we were doing in class a tangible idea. Figuring out the ~lope of the lines we created made what was on paper come alive," commented Sara Becker on the applications of math dass. The many advai1tages of a high-quality school included the elevated curriculum and the unique and creative teclmiques that the teachers used. These.methods of leaching and curious students combined to establish an ideal learning environment for ma thematics. By doing creative activities in math dass, teachers expanded the general and reached toward the unord.inary. Organizing such events as doing the by Amy Griel wave in class, where students could earn cxtrn cred it for bringing in Penn State attire, energized students about learning math. Other teachers were known for beginning a class by having the students stand up and do "function aerobics." These calisthenics not only got the class awake and laughing, but also got them thinking about the physicill aspects of the functions thilt they were used to seeing on paper. Whether in advanced math classes, or in the mainstream classes, students found aU of the classes both challenging a nd informative, Those that followed the mainstream generally took Algebra I In ninth grade, moved up to Geometry in tenth grade, moved over to Algebra II in eleventh grade and ended their high school career with Trigonometry. Othermathclassoptionsi.ncluded "Basic" classes for those students that did not seek a rigorous math clas.q. These classes covered material more slowly and focused on the practical applications rather than wrong or right answers. Students who began their math career at State High on the advanced level studied Geometry, Algebrn 11, Trigonometry and Analysis for juniors, and ended up with either AB or BC Calculus their senior year. Students who took advanced classes had the opportunity to take AP exams at the end of Calculus to receive college cred it. Senior David Crandall remarked, '1 think that it's really neat that we're able to take these collegelevel coUIScs in high school and then take the Advanced Placement exam that not only saves money, but also allows us to learn the same material in a more comfortable situation." Along with all of the regula.r classes, the MaU1 Department offered several electives. The most popular of these electives was AP Computer Science, whicl1 gave students the opportunity lo try their hand at prOb'l"amming personal computers. Senior Jami Meteer observed, ''For people who plan to go into a math or engineering field, it is an opportunity for students to get a head start on the skills they will need in college. For students who are not interested in engineering, it allows them lo keep up their math skills in a creative, nontraditional math environment."

The State College Area High School Art Department offered a wide platform of elective d1oices for students. Courses in sudi arts as ceramics, photographic arts, drawing, or jewelrymaking allowed the students to explore their artistic side. With such a widevarietyofopportunilies, many found an elective that suited their pleasure. Headed by Mr. James Ritchey, the artdepartmenl acted as a virtual springboard for students who were seeking a career in art or the skiJJs needed for a lifeti.oie hobby. Many who d id not want to pursue art as a career appreciated the opportunity lo develop a hobby that U1ey could conti nue on '"'i th throughout their life. Junior Sara Becker commented, "It really opened me up lo the different types of crafts." Students chose classes that featured such .rubjects as drawing, painting, sculpting, commercial design, silkscreeni.ng, photography, filmmaking, and mru路1y othel's. Students also took art by appointmentelectives,in which the teacher, or sometimes the student, created a personalized curriculum. Students a iso chose to participate in events such as the high school's Renaissance Fair, Medieval Pageants around the district, and contests like the Scholastic Art Award. As in previous years, students had the option of going on field trips. Trips taken this yea.r ranged from travels to the Baltimore Museum of Art in Baltimore to U1e Palmer Museum of Art in State College. Olten times the students found the field trips to be inspirational and enlightening. By seeing works of famous artists, students were able to imita te the tech niques of the masters. Por students serious about pursmng art and making it a part of their future, Master Arts Studio Classes were available. As part of this class, students had to fill a showcase with their work. This work represented the art of which they were most proud, or U1at best showed the message they were trying to convey to theiraudi路 ence. Senior Suzanne Bruening commented, "Putting together a collection of my own work was exciting, but also nerve-racking as the deadline approached ." \Nhen they put together the final product, the artists were boU1 pleased and proud of their accomplishments and the success they acl1ieved. Most people thought that the art courses were inspirational, fun, and educational. Jessica Holt exclaimed, "They have a really good program here." This was a common thread that weaved its way through the minds of U1ose who participated in the various art classes. With so many opportunities and such a wide variety of choices, it was unusual for a student not to find an area w hich interested him.

Preparing for the future and creating a !,'Teater sense of knowledge about the business conununity are what the business classes at Stale High aimed to achieve. From general typing classes to Advanced Accow1ting and Commercial Design, the level of intensity and the level of difficulty grew as the students moved up the ladder toward a greater and higher understandhlg of business. A majority of the students enrolled Jn business classes used them as a springboard into U1eir future in the business world. By ta king a variety of business classes in high school, many students who already knew that they wanted to enter the business community were able to focus on a certain aspect and diS<:over what really interested them. Shanna Ross commanted, "The business by Amy G r iel classes here help prepare us for what businesies want a nd expect out of us when we're in the real world." This careful consideration and preparation from the business teachers proved very influential and helpful to the students of State High as they entered the business community. While many students used these classes to prepare for the future, many found the classes fWl as well. Junior Shannon Harner remarked, "Business classes are both really helpfu l and interesting. You get to learn how to use computers, how to type a1ld other cool infonnation about how businesses are run. The things that I am learning in the business classes that 1am taking now will always stay with me and enable me to hopefully be successful in the future.HThe wide variety of opportunities also added to the enjoyment and satisfactiongai:nedfromthemanybusinessclasses. Shannon Hamer also stated, "I liked Advanced Accounting with Mr. Kissell. We got to use the computers a lot while still teaming a great deal about Accounti ng. l a lso liked Speed writing because we learned how to write fast and how to write only what we heard." Business students who wished to perfect certain skills while participnting in an exlracu.1-ricu· Jar activity had the opportunity to join the Future Business Leaders of America (FllLA). Throllghout the year FBLA participated in many activities, ranging from community service and fund-rais· ing to Regional and State Competitions. This year State College was proud to host the Regional competition with Regional President Kathi Ritchey presiding. The students who won first, second, and third places at Regionals advanced to the State Competition at the Seven Springs Resort. Jen Colpetzer, the Fund-raising Coordinator made all of the activities possible by organizing various fw1d·raisers to raise the thousands of dollars need. "We've had a very busy and excit· ing year," said member Erin Eckley. '1t's been a lot of fwl! " Once again the Business Department at State High successfully prepared more students for their futures in the big business world.

Exploring the World and Cultures Abroad by Josh Rathmell

cademics

Whatwasimportantaboutsocialstudies?Stu路 dents formulated their own answers to this question during the year. The many social studies classes offered at State High allowed students to explore aspects of many different cultures, including their own. Hard work and much thought in these classes helped students figu re out what features of the world and human society mattered lo them. All students built on their understanding of the world and or other cultures throughout the year. The ninth and tenth grade students studied different cultures of the world. The ninth graders' classes examined Latin America, Africa, and Asia, while tcntl' graders learned about Europe, Lhe former Soviet Union, and the Middle East. These classes covered both historica11md current aspects of these other cultures. They researched Lhese different areas through many different methods of study. By doing a country project, nintl1 graders carried out an in-depth study of the workings of a particular nation. Students sought to understand the ways or life of people iII different societies during this two year study of world cultures. After tenth grade, students had learned much about cultures other than their own, and had developed a broader understanding of!:he world. The knowledge they gained helped them to comprehend the complex situations in Bosnia, Israel, and other current and future international conflicts. During eleventh grade, most students studied American History. This class helped students to understand how American society and culture had developed to its present condition. Many felt this was one of the most important classes, as they learned the heritage ol their native country. For forejgn s tudents, thisclass provided a greater knowledge of the history and the customs of the country in which they were residing. Twelfth grade student~, having completed three years of learning in specific areas, had the choice to pick from a number of elective cow-ses. "Considering lhat it's U1eonly major subject area that has as many options, I feel that social studies is theonlyonethatallows you to explore a variety of interests," said senior Nathaniel Rasmussen. Seniors appreciated the ability to choose from courses in sociology, current issues, economics, American government, and other topics. After taking courses in socialstudies, students caroe to their own conclusions about human society and culture. These classes allowed students to consider the way tha t people interact with other people in the world arow'd them. The ricl' variety of Social Studies options at State High enabled students to learn about and appreciate the past, the present, and the future ol humankind..

The Center for Applied Academics and Tech· nologies, also known as theCAATprogram, pro· vided a real world, hands-on approach to learning about many different kinds of topics. CAAT students divided their in-school time between focusing on academics and lheir chosen tecbnol· ogyorcareer. '1n theCAATprogram," explained jw1ior Jennifer Ory, a student studying cosmetology, "it's easier to combine your career and school." Jn addition to cosmetology, the program offered many other fields and choices inducting agricultural education, building construction, business educatio11, child care, commercial art, drafting and design technology, electromechani· cal technology, hospitality and food services, and transportation technology. Although all CAA T students took English, social stucties, science, and mathematics courses, they attended science and math classes only three times a week.Asa result, theywereawarded only 0.67 credits for each of these classes. This was a reasonable sacrifice in exd1ange for participating in the CAA T program. The remainder of the time was b'J'ent pursuing training for a career through various instructional activities such as note·tak· ing. observation, and e>eperimentation, CAAT students had a great deal of flexibility in this regard: some worked in technical shops, some attended busu1ess classes, and some pursued training for their specific field through employment. The result of this system, according t<, Ms. Deb Jones, a CAAT vocational support teacher, was to provide a "more relevant and hands-on approach," as opposed to the more theoretica l methods the mainstream curriculum offered in lhe rest of the high school. Often students joined dubs U1al applied to their specific area of CAAT study. TI1r0ugh Future Farmers of America (FFA), agl'icultu.ral education students competed in dub activities such as judging contests and traveling to numerous locations not outside the school. but outside of State CoUege as well. The students also worked cooperatively on group community service projects. Other CAAT-related groups included the Vocational Industrial Club of America (VlCA) and Auto Oub. The CAAT program combined applied academicsa11d technologies together in order to help students interested in these subjects grasp a better concept of the real world. Also, the curriculum helped the students learn how to solve problems and work cooperatively htith others. "The CAAT program gives me skills that will be valuable in the workplace," said sophomore Caleb Sautter. "CA AT provides you with life skills," affirmed Ms. )ones. "Students will exit the program ready to pursue a vocation." Indeed, upon graduation students were well-trained in their chosen field and more than adequately prepared for the fu. ture.

Defining the Concepts of Literature by Emily Farr

路1 think that the English courses have taken a drastic turn for the better since junior high," said junior Courtney Mandryk. The high school English classes seemed less strict and more open to individual students' interpretations of literature. "Literary circles" and class discussions gave everyone the opportwiity to express their opinions. Judy Gordon expressed, "The class discussions are a great help in understanding the literature." ln elevenlh and twelfth grade, some of the classes read short stories by distinguished authors. These authors included William Faulkner, John Steinbeck, Willa Cather, and Bernard Malarnud. At the conclusion of the readings, the students were given a new aligle at learning as they tauglit their peers through presentation to the class. Some of lhe points raised were extremely controversial and the discussions becruneveryintense. "ln English class !thfak people are more apt to discuss things with open minds," remarked Becky Pillar. The jwtlor classes also read novels such as TheSt;JJrlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne and 路r1ie Crucible, by Arthur Miller. The AP English classes, for seniors, read classics: Cry t/1e Beloved Cc1111try by Alan Paton, 'fire Stranger by Albert Camus, Wutlrering Heights by Emily Bronte, 1984. byGeorgeOnveU, and!Know Why The Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou. Many of the students wrote journals, expressing their personal feelings on Lile stories they read. 'l'hroughout the year the AP English classes also worked at preparing themselves for the Princeton Exam in the spring. They did tltls by ta.king vocabulary tests, comprehensive tests on the works tl1ey read, and writing in-class essays. The 1tl"tl' and tenth gTaders read many other novels, such as Romeo and Juliet, Tire Pigman, A

Separate Peace, Heart of Darkness, A Tale of Two Cities, and Lord of the Flies. The students of Ms. Anne Riley spent the majority o( their freshmen year on a project in which they chose an animal and then studied it aU year, culminating in a period-long speech at the end of the year. The work that was done during these two years of English created a foundation for the more advanced material tl1at students would laler face. The sophomores also did a mythology unit, a unit in which they practiced writing college essays, as well as a decade project. The decade project gave the students an opportunity to see what life was like for people in State College as the country grew ruid developed. Each month they also were required to write an art journal. This was an essay in which they compared a piece of art work lo tile topic of study in class. Every student at State High, no rnatter what grade he or she was in, benefited from taking English. Whether it was from writing a whole buncli of essays, or working on ptesentation after presentation, there was also something fun and exciting in everything they did.

According to the novelist Elias Canetti, "There is no such thing as an ugly language." State High, which offered a total ol nineteen different foreign language classes, obviously took this idea to heart. The school's language department provided classes in Latin, French, German, and Spanish. Leve.ls l through V were offered in French, German and Spanish, and levels I through IV were offered in Latin. For beginning and intermediate classes, Jan· guage study often in volved many vocabulary drills, games, and grammar studies. Sophomore Kim Tu agreed, saying, "It seems that almost everything we do in ciaos is based on grammar, but I realize that it is an important and e.ssential part to understanding a language to the fullest." Also, teachers frequently emphasized cultural aspects of the area from wluch the languageorigi· nated. Junior Julie Steidel described lab.I\ I as being "really fun and fast-moving," and added that "we also learn a lot about the ancient Romans and their way of life, and we are planning to hold a Roman banquet on in the year." In more advanced classes, students read literature, wrote compositions, and held discussions on current events in thei r language of s tudy. After passing the third level of a language, s tudents received advanced credit. With the advanced credit, however, came an increased level of dUfi· culty. "French V ts very demanding," said senior Geetha Venkatachalam. "We are very stringent and no one is allowed to speak English in the classroom. This makes for a very intense, chal· lenging, and enjoyable study of French.# Foreign language skills were invaluable to all State I ugh students who spent time abroad. It prepared them for the real world in a new and different culture and environment. "Taking French in !ugh school helped me when I attended school in France, and allowed me to conununi· cate w ith ciassmntcs, teachers and French peopl.e," said seruor Judith Dempsey. There was also a more serious motivatioll behind a student's foreign language study. Most four-year colleges required al least two years of foreign language study as an admittance requi· site. Some colleges even required that a student continue his or her&tudy of a language to a certain lcvclwhileattendmgcollegeinordertograduate. Happily, for some students, the existence of the APexamallowedstudentslorcccivecollegecredit for high scores. Said senior Daniel Santavicca, "ti I get a four or a five on the AP exam, I won't have to takt> Spanish in college, and will perhaps be able to begin studying Russian." Studying a foreign language was a way for State High students to read\ out to the world a nd learn about other cultures and societies. No mat· ler what language a student took, advanced or beginning, they broadened their education and received the gift of communication.

New Horizons •••••• • •••••••••••••• From the first d"y of biology class and the teachings of Darwin, students have always learned about the idea of evolution. Just as people evolved over millions of years, so did students over the one hundred years of the State College community. Changes in the way people bilked, acted, and proceeded With their daily lives all transpired to de· velop the twentieth century teenager. Students that roamed State High'shalls in 1896 were moving into a world of unknown ideas and new technologies. They explored new methods as a way of learning more about the way the world worked. Watching the first television that '-'"aS purchased by the family accounted for just one of the many fond memories that these evolutionarv teens experienced ' From standing up for wh.lt they believed in to the wild revolts of the sixties, ONE LAST GLANCE at the attitudes of students showed that they are stW continuing to grow and expa nd. Dealing with issues such as family values, tounfairlaws, to death w ithin the school's own hallways, the students of State Hig h grew nol only up a maturity ladder, but also grew closer together. 'Becoming a dose-knit school env1r0nment helped to ease the rough limes and highlight the myriad of good times. The issues that governed the lives of State High students In many ways made them better, more well-rounded individuals. No matter what the tune frame, the issues and the lives that State College students led throughout the years matured and evolved along with them.

Homecoming was a popular pince for seniors to show off Its lndividuality. Tiiis year, the class' theme was the 1950s. Members of the senior class built a float a.nd dresst:d in costumes which represented that era. Over the last three years, the Class of 1996's float themes have included "Sesame Strccr and other mtel'(!Sting topics. Another time that seniors could create an identity for their class was at school get-togethcrs such as pep rallies and assemblies. While most activities at the school involved all of the four grades, the seniors were usually considered the most "pumped " with excitement because they held the most school pride and kept looking ahead towards graduation. One of the very final events before graduahon,and one of lhe most memorable for most seniors, was the Senior Prom and the aa:0.111panymg All Night Party. Along with the Prom, the seniors also organized ;,everal other dances O\'er the years, including a winter dance at the Penn State Scanttcon. School and class spirit could also be noted in the Dance Marathon, tn which the seniors were considered to be the morale for the all-night fundraiser. Ind 1vidual personalities could also be brought into lhe open m the s ummer. Prior to graduation, each o;enior had to prepare a senior speech in his or her's English class about his or her life over the years. Overall, the seniors were proud of their class and all that it had accomplished over the years. After they graduated, many looked forward to returning to their five-year reunion in 2001 to see how the class had changed.

ne of the most anticipated events of one's senior year was the eighteenth birthday. With this milestone, students were now legally considered adults, and as such, obltlined new legal rights. Upon turning eighteen, students received an abundance of new privileges. Some of the many righl5 mcludcd voling, playing the lottery, owning a cred it ca rd, a nd driving after midnight. However, one of the worst "privileges" of tum.ing eighteen was the fact that working stude1lls lost their minority status at work. This meant that seniors could now be forced to work over five hours without the opportunity to take a breakThcsc new privileges also came with a great dci\l of new responsibility. As of the e.i ghtcenth birthday, students could be tried lcgallyas an adult in any court of Jaw. "Turning eighteen is extremely exciting, but you could easily mess up the rest of your life with just a few bimple mistakes," stated Denise Hintosh. Male students also had to register for the draft soon after their birlhdoy. Although this did not immediately affect their lives, mMy seniors began 10 cast a worrisome eye to the threating situations in Bosnia and North Korea. Sh.tdcnls also had to remember that they were still living with their parents and would have to abide by their rules. So even if seniors were able to gain numerous new rights, they still had the problem of get ting around parents' rules. The school did not rccogni2c seniors as sovereign adults, either. For example, senioTS were not allowed to sign their own school passes or excuses. Adulthood and independence were welcomed by a.II seniors, but students also realized that all the newly gained privileges came with a certain amount of responsibility.

The CMclrec atmosphere of summer was shattered Ml too soon as seniors began theU" &nal year ol high school. Pressures of deciding what to do after graduation were almost too overpowering. Students hod to compl~te difficult coUcgc admission applications and meet the application dendlines at the same time. Some seniors had to worry about meeting physical fttnes~ requirements for the armed servkes, while others contemplated just the basic question of deciding a future. Sf>niors applying to colleges were swamped with applications and deadlines. Deciding on which school to apply to was one of the most difficult questions students had to solve. Butwhatproved to be the most complicated part of coUcge admissions was completing the actual application. Most applications were quite lengthy and difficult to comprehend. Senior Lynne Sobt!l commented, "I didn't apply tn two universities because the applications were too long and time-consuming." Some students had other pressu~ besides those of coUege admis.~ons. Seniors entenng the armed services had to worry about passing academic tests as well as physical tests. Fuh1re soldiers put in long hoUIS of physical training to rema111 fit, and to make sure they were capable of the set amount of pushups, s it-ups, and pull-ups. Other physical tests demanded that students run a distance in a set amount of time. Receiving a passing standardized test score '"as also essential for admissions into the services. The complicated question of deciding exacUy what to do after graduation plagued numerous seniors. College life and the armed services \\'Cre not right for Pvery student so some deoded to take a year or so off from school in order to organize their guals for the future. Others students decided to take up a full-time job in order to save money for school, or just to work. Whatever future seniors decided to pursue, U1ey all realized that their decision was not one to be taken lightly.

ennState. Its campus casts a shadow that covers miles around Central Pcnnsylvailia. Sometimes that shadow provided a shelter and a service for students, other times it stifled their growth and did not let in the

sun. Growing up next door to Penn State had its advantages for many seniors. How many students would be going to State High if the University were not providing jobs for their parents? Where would talented students go to supplement their classes with more challenging ones? Without Penn State, State College would not exist; no one could separate the name from the namesake. Penn State provided State High graduates with D nationally-recogni?.ed major college with all the comfortS of home. They could experience life on their own in thedomutoriesor in an apartment of their own; but when the money supply got low, or dining hall food did not satisfy the cravil\g for a home-cooked rneal8, pnren~ were just around U1e corner. Many students could not ask for a better compromise between sccunty and independence. t\'evertheless, life was not a fu.!rytale. Somehmes the shadow blocked out students' options. When one saw what he had been brought up to see as perfection within llis grasp, ht< tended to grab itwilhout thinking twice. Sometimes students had no choice; 1t was l'cnn State or nothing. With a seventy-five percent tuition discount, it was understandable why many parents Lh3t worked for the University wanted their kids to attend. All in all, most people were happy witll what they had. In any event, Pen!\ State was there to stay. Where would we be without it?

It was cool because there were so many peopl~ at tl1em, but everyone got along reaUy well. They're definitely going to be some of my best memories from high school," remarked Megan Raleigh of her party experiences. Uving so close to the college scene, and the bar scene thot went with it, Jent the opportunity for many studenb to attend "under 21" nights and hear many of the local bands. With many of the players coming from our own hallways of State High, students had the opportunity to view bands that did not have the chance to put on perform.inccs within the school itself. Suzanne Bruening commented, "The shows end up running really late, but it's oil worth it." With the opening of the Bryce Jordan Center many got to hear even more bands, exploring their horizons while having fun at the same time. Some of the first headliners included Rusted Root, the Goo-Goo Dolls, Ala· bama, Rod Stewart, and TLC. Despite the long and grueling hours of the five-day work weeks, many students allowed them..<elves to take 1t easy over the seemingly shortened hours of the weekends Without a care in the world, the weekends were a lime for the seruor class of J996 to kick back, to relax and to make the moments last as the created llielong memories of friends and good times.

Back ill days, old friends Desiree Ju Un andJ•mieScaltz take a short res ling breo k on some steps after o long day ol playing. M•ny fnendships at State High h.'d wlthh•ld the the test of time; and as studentll prepared to graduate and go ln 1he!r own paths, they ;till found ways to stay m contact with their old friends.

Graduation, parties, and tnps Allof these activities kept students extremely busy al the end of the school year. But as the business 3ubsided and as the air cleared Crom the excitement and chaos, students realized that the fa ll would mean having to give goodbyes to childhood friends. Seniors founJ themselves going away to college, entering the anned forces, o r taking on a full-time job. So keeping in touch with high school mends proved to bea difficult challenge. Leaving high school and entenng a new environ· ment left bludents scrambling to find some spare time in which to write to old friends. But s tudents willingly accepted that challenge. Senior Suzanne Bruening agreed, "Even though sitting down and wnting a letter takes a lot of time, l can't Imagine not staying l" touch with my dose friend~." O ther students realized that they wouldn't have enough bme to write a letter w ilh lhe new hassles of college life. Fortunately, modern tedrnology came through toprovideamoreconveruent method of communication. "Since l plan on double majoring, f won' t have a lot of spare time in which to write letters so email will be the quickest and most efficient way to keep close with my best friends who are away at col· lcge," stated Amy Griel. Even If students couldn't maintai n some sort of communkn tio11 wiU1 each friend after graduation, they kept thespeoal memories of times together close to heart. Kristen Van Horn, while thinking abuut college, s tated, "It will be difficult to keep in touch with friends after h.tgh school, but the memories we had together will keep us connected for a lifetime." No matter where students moved to or what new endeavors they undertook, they would always c.irry the memories of their high school friend3 with them.

LIFE AFTER STATE HIGH =-- - -t..,.n......_ e ... se..,a....rch for a colleg e

Proboibly the most important decision that they had every made, choosing a college proved to be a Strt!l>sing activity for most seniors. After bking the NEDT, PSAT, and SAT standardized tests, senion. began receiving college pamphlets, viewbooks, and applications i11 the ma il by the dozen. To na rrow down the choices, students crea ted a mental image of their ideal college. This <mage va ried greoitly from person to person. "T'm in terested m excellent academics plus a small campus to create a 'homey' atmosphere," explained Sylvia Thompson. "I'd like to find a school witl1 Ethernet in the dorms, and one that offers lots of scholarships and loans and grants," .said Huan Chang 'The size doesn't matter, as long as it is well-known enough so that when I go to get ;i job they will recognize the school." Sometime.., however, monetary limitations forced students to disregard some options. Although most colleges offered scholarships and financial aid, paying for ;i private :;chool's yearly tuition of S20,000 or more wa• often not pr~ctical. For these students, Penn State provided a comp romise: a major research ins titution that wos reasonably priced yet w ell respected. Once seniors narrowed their choices, many de cided to visit th ear favorite colleges. For somll, this just meant taking a stroll on the nearby University Park canipus. For otl\ers, it meant taking treks around tile nation. By making a personal visit to a school, studl!nts could decide whether a college. felt right for them. Exploilncd Sylvia Thompson, '1 have heard that you should alway~ go to a college where you like the campus so thatdunng finals or tests if you get stressed out by the work, you can go outside and refresh yourself. It can be a real sanity saver." Crea ting their <'allege plans proved to be a major adventu re for seniors. Selecting the perfect college by gathenng information and vis iling campu~es took up m uch of s tudents' ~eitior years.

word, one would expect to sec the physlcalinflamma· tion of students as they reached their senior year. In reali ty, seniorilis was perhaps the inOammation of ideals and dreams Uwt affected each senior as he or she prepared for hfe beyond high school. As the end of high school drew near, there wai. an overall lmpa· hence to leave the institution and to start the pursuit of Individual goa Is. These feelings resulted in a set of ~yndromes that include the tendency lo miss class and the reluctance lo work on assii,'T1ments. For each senior, M?nioritis meant something a litlle different, but all agtftd that they had it. According to Huan Chang, scnioritls referred to when, "You ron' t really concentrate on school work." For Wes Weimer, It was the "tendency of seniors to think anything is more important than school." A1tilha Padala com· mented, "It's gotten lo the point where I justdon't care ilbout high school, and I am looking forward to c:ollege." Thecausesofscnloritiswerenotaccuratelyknown, but the pressure of preparation for life after grndua· Lion were W1doubted lya contribuli ng factor. For those who knew exactly lheirplans, senioritis resulted from the certainty that as long as they graduated, tllcir future plans were set. In this rose, finishing assign· ments became less tmportant as the awaiting cross· roads loomed even nearer. For those who were sWI waiting for those college acceptances, these m•ttcrs overshadowed the importance of completing class· room work. But no matter whether or not one knew lus or her future plans, seniors all shared an expecta· lion of a different life after high school, maybe a more ~xciting,morcch~ llengingone. And it was thisantic:i· pation that fueled the reluctance to continue w itll Ule same routines of the last four years. That was at the root of scnioritis.

IN THlE

WORLD

High school, the Real World, and seniors. Tn many minds, those words were rarely synonymous, but they were often part of the same question. The question being of cowse was, • Has high school prepared you for the real world?" "The school tries to g ive you a well rounded edu· cation, but tha t doesn't necessarily mean you can go into the world (and be successfuJI.'' said LiSH Cone. H igh school provided s tudents with a protective .... bubble where studenlS were not subjected to the lri· ~ als and tribulations of the real world. Heather Kutch summed it up when she said, "School has taught me that the Real World is more real than tlus.• Four years of high school must have taught stu· dents some things, though. Samantha Huckabee ex· plained, "(School) taught me how to deal with bu· reaucracy." Lynne Sobel added, "[SchoolJ teaches you ways to get a round the system; you CJ.ll't just get aw;iy wiU\ everything. High school has s tupid ru les, but so does the real world. You run a stop light, you get a $50 fine; if you skip class, you get a detention.• Even if ii did not prepare them for the real world. school did prepare most studenti. for college. "It has given mt good ideas as to what I would like to major in college and do as a career: noted Chris Readinger. "School has prepared me for real lifo by adding a Jot of slressors that I'll probably be deali ng with in the futu re," explained Jemtlfe r Haring. All seniors carried things away from the high school experience, no matter whcU1er it had prepared them for the real wodd or not. They learned how to count and spcll, and how to deal with other people. Although it may not have prepJrcd them for the Real World, it gave them important life lessons, and each one of them carried away at least one fond memory.

a presidential election scheduled for only five months after graduation, many seniors began thjnking about how they should vote. However, before these eighteen year-olds could actually go to the poU booths, they had to first register to vote. Nationwide, many organizations focused on ways to get young voters registe.red. ln many sta tes," motor voter" procedures allowed them to register to vote when they received drivers' licenses. Other groups such as Rock The Vote traveled across the cow1try signing up new voters. In State High, severa1schoolsponsored groups tried to urge seniors to realize how important it was for them to register. In its efforts to get people more involved with govemments, St1.1dent Government formed a group to e xplore the possibilities of registering srudents. In the end, Srudent Government planned to send each studcnl ~ birthday card on his or her eighteenth bi rthday with a ,roting registration form attached. Several other factors also played a role in why seniors wanted the power to vote. President Bill Clinton's victory in 1992 was often believed to be because of the young voters that came to the poUs. And in 1994 when the Republican Party, which was too conservative for srudents, had several successes, it was because this large base of young voters did not come out to the poUs. Many students scheduled American Government as one of their senior social srudies electives. This course gave students an understandfrig of how the government ftmctioned and allowed them to rea lize that they too could have anixnpacton the role it took No matter what the reason, seniors could not wait for the right to vote. Not only would they be able to choose new Congressmen, but a new president as well.

GTO MOVE ON • seniors re

For a quarter of the student population at State College Atea High School, the end of their high school career was qu ickly appronching. In just a few short months, the seniors would be taking their diplomas out into the wide, wild world . The thoughts of graduation caused mixed feelii1gs a mong the seniors. Some seniocs w u Id be lieve that they wou Id soon have to p art w ith the security and comfor t that w as high school. " I th ink I'm realiz ing now lhat my years at State High have mea nt a lot more to me that I ever though t prev1ously;· reflected Sylvia Thompson "I don't want to leave," C raig Tolllnl agreed," Each year has gotten progressively be tter, especially this year, but I'm sort of anxious about college because l've gotten used to being here." Other seniors were more willing to lea' e ti'!<! school behind. Some looked forward to the excitement of the fact that the everyd. · rouhne of lugh school would soon be turned upsld• -town as students went on to college, trade schools, or jobs. As June approachl<d, these seniors were ready to graduate and move on with their lives. Judith Dempsey swruned up her attitude, "At least It's almost O\'cr." For many of the seniors that was an accurate stalemcnl or their feelings. Then there were those who seemed to have rather indifferent feelings. For some the high sc:hool yean. had not really affected their lives. ''I've basically been uncon.'l<:ious for the lasl four years," contemplated Margaret Blankenblller. "Sort of a state of suspci1ded animation, so I really haven't formed any impre~ sions." As seniors reflected on their years In high school, some came to very profound realizations. On the other hand, for Nick Gildow the lasl four years w uld be summed up in one thought, " It was."

Whe11 foccd with the stress of everyday life, special friends gnve sei\iors the strength and the courage to goon. Relationships often allowed students lo have someone to share their lives with and someone to spend bme with. Couples and friends could be seen in the hallways or 1ust off in the comer sharing some time together. For seniors, engaging in serious relationships was a deosion that they did not take lightly. Whether couples became intimate or were known just to be "more than friei1ds" was an important question that each ind ividual had lo answer. Thoughts of going off to college and leaving high school prevented many from getting involved with someone on a serious basis. However, even faced with the possible risk of emotio""1 letdown, many timesarelationslupwasbasedsolelyonhavingsomeone to talk to and to spend time with. Just as they knew involvement could lead lo cvenlu:ll hurt at the end of the year, seniors also knew how having someone to lean on had helped them through the to ugh times ln their lives. More relevant to everyday school life was the question of P.D.A. Public displays of affection were visible at any givei1 time or place in school, usually a gesture as small as holding hands or hugging. Altogelhcr, seniors had different \'iews on relationships and whether or not one needed one to gain happmess.

A FOREIGN LANGUAGE andin communications skills

By the time the Class of 1996 had become seniors, they had acquired various skills, including every· thing from diagramming sentences in English class to solving simultaneous equations in math. As shldents began to look into their futures, however, many decided to concentra te on the skills most valuable in the real-life working world; among those was knowing a second language. Seniors could be found in a variety of different foreign language classes. While some were just starting their language shldies, others who s tarted a language in junior high made it all the way tO advanced levels. Reasons for studying a foreign language varied from person to person. For example, Huan Chang Shldied Gem1ao so thal he wou ld be able to understand the work of European scientists. "When I go to college and am doing research, l'U wan\ to maximize my sources of information," he explained. Some shl· dents had other motives as well. "Foreign languages a re a lso a requirement for most colleges," he admitted . Others studied a language t<1 be able to break throt1gh communications barriers. "I' m taking Sp an· ish because my grandparents spoke Spanish a nd my mother grew up speaking lhelanguage,and I want to be able to converse with my re latives," explained Nick G ildow." Also 1was hoping that knowing Spanish will give me more career opportunities." To prepare students for communicating in their second language in the real-world, the school offered five levels of most languages. Because they demanded more time and effort, thefourU1and fiJth-yearcourses earned students advanced credjt. Of all the courses seniors took over their high school careers, many foresaw their language claliSes being the most applicable ln tbe real world .

Destinations with rivers.,creeks,st:reams, and waterfalls wctc very popular among seniors because they offered a type of relief against the boiling heat in Centre County \vere known.

When U1e saess of the everyday routiJ1es and assignments of high school fuially caught up willi seniors, it seemed like there was only one option left: a alp to get far away from State College. To escape their problems and commitments, fomi· lies often planned trips over school vacation days, such as spring break and winter break. Popular fam· ily trip destinations lncluded a grandparent's house, the beach, or a resort like Walt Disney World. After obtaining a driver's license, seniors enjoyed new nexibility when wanting to get away from State College. Instead of relyi11g on their families to plan trips, seniors could organize their own visits to places thal they found interesting. AIthough these experiences were exciting. seniors could not help but admit to being a little scared of what might go wrong while traveling alone. Problems such as experiencing car trouble, blowing a tire, or getting lost prompted some to plan group excursions instead. By using the "buddy system," seniors could ensure thal they would never have to face difficulty alone. Traveluig in groups also allowed students to divide up the many responsibilites of long-distance travel. When students did not have the time to planalongdistance trip, they could visit one of the area's many popular "get-away" sites. Penn State's Stone Valley, about a half an hour away from Stale College, enticed many o utdoorsmen to enjoy its miles of hiking trails and serene Jake. Other students visited nearbyamusemei1t parks, sucl1 as Bland'sPark. For U1oseil1terested in shopping opportunities, State College was just an hour away fro.m Altoona and its many stores, malls, and outlet centers. When they found the pressures around them loo strong to handle, seniors could use their new fretl· doms to "get away from it all.' '

there was just one single adjective one could use to describe the senior class of State High, it would be, "talented." With a population of nearly 500 s tudents, the class ofl 996 and its work could be seen and heard not only within the walls of theNorUl and Soutil Buildings, but also all a ro und the Centre Region. State High offered a variety of assemblies, school productions, and pep rallies for seniors to share their talents with fellow classmates. Often several clubs would join together to a put on one extraordinary event. 111e State High TI1espians performed two productions a year' a play in the fall and a musical in the spring. These productions offered the community a chance to see some of State High's finest young actors and actresses. AIthough somewhat controversial, January's MartinLuther King Assembly was considered by many to be a gathering of some of IJ1e most talented seniors. From a performance by the drill team to poetry readings by seniors Erin Bonski and Josy Holt, and a thought-provoking Interview session starring Masi Osseo-Asare, the audience was never bored. The State College community also welcomed opportunities to see high school students and their talents on display. One of the most l'ecognized local events was tile a1rnu al Central Penn&J'lvania Festival of the Arts and Boalsburg's People's Choice festival. There, artistically-talented students could show and sell their works to an audience from across the coun-

try.

These talented students could be seen almosteverywhere, and those that knew them well knew IJ1at after graduation tile talents would not soon go away. Ti, in U1e future, one would see some person gathering attention from crowds, he or she might be a member of the State High Class of 1996.

like the corporate world, the clubs and orga· nizationsatState High functionedonasenority scale, with the seniors holding the top positions. These leaders joined clubs In the very bottom of the scale as freshmen and i.tlphomores and worked their way up to the very top. GroupssuchasSeniorSenateandStudent Gnvernment filled their top positions by elections, and in the end two students rose above the rest to control what some considered State High's most powerfu l jobs. Scott Sylve1! was president of the Oass of 1996 when theseruordass was juniors, and when it came time for senior elections, the ma1onty of the students liked what heh.ad done for their class, and re-elected him senior cla<< pre..ident.

Across the street from the yearbook, Mark Parfitt led the staff of the Lions' D1gtst, to its fifth successful year. "Being editor can be very time-consuming and stressful, but when you have a great staff under you, like I did this year, things become much easier," he explained. Other clubs relied on seniors for leadership. For example, Todd Krout led the Future Business Leaders of America, and Ingrid Budianto was the president of lntcm~tionalStudentsClub. These students used their three years of expertise to direct the clubs in the best possible direction~. At the top of almost every one of State High's orga l\izaLions wcl'e seniors In a leadership postitions.

Roaming around the haU outi;1de of the North Building, Cole Sautter •hows off his Indi-

name often felt that one label could noc rq>rescnt thcmbo.-ause It treated themas a generic member of • l•rger, commerc:i.114cd group.

FINDING To the seniors, Ccncralion X represented the perceptions and judgment'! of the real world which lhcy would soon enter. SITOng opinions on the subject ruled. "Everybody blames Generation X for being listless and horrible and rotten and havingnopurpose m life, but I don't 8'!e anybody else doing anything. I mcnn, look at Congress," said Margaret Blankenbi ller vehemently. Many students agreed that it was unfalr to attach such a slanderous name tag to a large mass of people. OaMy ¥avuzkurt wascrilicalof thegenerabon "l think they should take th~ir matters into their own hands instead of sitting around whining about being Genera tion Xers," he said. ¥ct, he did lessen some of the blame saying, "They hove some right to be dlsappointcd with the state of the economy." Even though they were technically some of the last members of Generation X, seniors did not consider themselves to be so. "We haven't had the change to fail yet," explained Tod Hartman . .Kristen VanHorn ;igreed saying, '1 don't consider myself to be part of Generation X. They grew up w ith different things." M.my agreed w ith the supposed characteristic of the generation, including Tod. ! le described the Generation Xers as "clogging the wheels of our sooety."

Seniors quickly lea. m ed that their advanced and collcgc·prcp courses required more ou t"Of·dass time than any o ther courses before. Gass work shifted from ~ing activity-oriented to more test-Oriented, so that students had to spend a lot more time studying for exams on their own. "Last year, I had a lot of work to clo, but I hardly every studied, unless I'd been abse:ntorsometiung." explained George Khoury. "This year, I never get homework but I have to study a lot more.''

With many students takingseveral difficultclasSl!S, free time wasn luxury thatmanycouldnot frequently enjoy. Sarah Thomas lamented, "Our classes arc very work-oriented; there is >1 lways a lot o f work to do, and ne\•er enough quite enough tim e to do it in. It leaves very li Ille limo for extracurrlc:ular activities and Inter· ests outside of :,chool." To manage everything, seniors had to plan their daily sclu~dules carefully and make efftoent use of every moment. Sometimes, that meant rearranging prionbes to make everything fit. "Without my rigorous study habits, my GPA would not be where it is today," commented Steve Payne. Sometimes seniors wen- forced to sacrifice leisure lime and social activi· tics to crc;itcenough study time to keep ahead in their classes.

With mixed emotions, millions of memorJes came to an end for U1e class of1996 asseniors took one final farewell to their h igh school years. For many, the thought of leaving high school created an inner terror of 1.mcertainty to the change which they were about to go through. TI1e security and comfort created by the high school environment lent a sense of an ticipatlon of what would come each day. Although not many seniors would admit it, at some point in U\eirsenioryear these thoughts crossed their minds and touched the hearts of many. Once these thoughts had passed and the new year came, an itching feeling of breaking away began brewing in the minds of many seniors. With the ringing in of the new year, many finally realized that the year 1996 would actually happen and that they would graduate. This feeling of expectancy caused some to stray from the completion of homework and attentiveness in the dassroom situation. Many studentsconsldered going away to college and leaving high school a blessi11g. Senior Denise Hintosh commented, "I'll get to meet a bunch of new people from all over the world and gel a break between my classes, w\Jike the eight hour day schedule of high school." Whether for the new experiences or for the pure joy of getting out of high school, students greatly anticipated June 8, 1996. Despite the reason or the feelings behind leaving, the final farewell that met up with the senior class of 1996 included many teary good-byes. Saying "so long'' to teachers thathadgreat:ly lnfl uenced Livesand to yoMgerstudents who looked up to us for guidance and knowledge were in no way easy or unemotional. To aU of you that aided us along the way, thank you, and good luck i11 your future as well.

Juniors deal with

NE~ PRO"BLEMS that challenge their lives I

Valerie Spooner Jeffrey St. Andrews Julie Steidel Derick Stephens

by Kara Humilovkh and Molly McClincy In an increasingly' complicated world, juniors often had to come up with creative solutions to difficult situations. For some it was the llisl year that required filii,1g an income taidorm.iJorothei$, making the monthly car payment was a burden that lurked on ~he edge of their live(. Oth~rs found that bala~c ing their schoe>lr work, and social lives was enough to drive them cr~zy. With col)ege quickly approaching, many students realized tllat grades did inde<.>d count andcoulddetermine the college they could go to. With these thoughts in;mind, many paid more strict attention to their academic schedule. With Governor's ~ools, AP exa ms, anq other c,hallenges to be met, juniors fou.n.sl their lives filled with decisions to make. By fociising on certain subjects, students were able to excel in!he areas which they hoped to pursue in life. ~ On another level, t1\e incre<!_sing violence and danger had many students wondering what the future would hold. As reports of students bringing gwlS and knives to other schoplsbegan arriving; the need for reform a discipline surfaced. Problems discovered on a personal level, as well a~ th?Oiig1Tfrie1~s, required careful thought a1td co1,sideration. The thought that SU<;h violent acts could go on in Happy Valley frightened some students as to whol they "' would find in the "real world." Sometimes the anxiety pro~ed to be ttnbelfrable, and students sought counsel from friends and family. By ta lking throug h their feelings and by sharing them with others, many stuc;!~ts received U1ereassura nee that Utlngs cou ld only get better. not worse. Though t11echaUengesof lhe future seemed grim, with AIDS, drugs, and increasing homelessness. pervading' throughout theworld, Utedass of1997 was part of a new-wave of hope that added promise to th.e future. Students resolved lo go oul into the worla and prove to it that Generation Xwas not ordinary, but willing to make drastic changes for the good of their future, and for U1c good of tl1e entire world.

by Trisha Montalbo l lomcwork. Sports. Clubs. Extr~curricular activities. And more homework. fhroughout the school year, all of these things and many others kept sophomores trying to figure out how they could be in two places at one nme.

Wl1ile a few sophomores clauned to be under no pressure whatsoever, the majority felt at least some stress from variou~ sources as the year crept by. These included individual classes, numerous tests, friends, and home life. "£ think teachers don't pay attention to how hard our classes are," Shannon l logan pointed out "It seems that cvc.r y time 1 turn around, 1have another test." Sometimes procrastination played a part with students leavmg work undone until the last minute. Almost all students declared that tenth grade wM the hardest school year so far in their high school careers, because of "more work and Jess time to do it," as Bry"n McKinney put it. For some, the tenth grade year in general caused them stress. llarbara King staled her dis~ati~faction with the school year, "At this point, 1 spend 100% of my time on schoo~ 1 have no free time to exp~ my individuality." With all the pressures in their lives, many students created wnys to r~lieve or handle it. For some, listening to music, sleeping, or even fighting with siblings relieved pressure. Eli7,abeth lrelllnd spent time with her friends or took a bubble bath to relax, while Andor Mezaros chose to take breaks outside to cure his stressed-out feeling. Whatever they did, stress played an mlluenha l part in the life of a sopho more as they lived one day at a time, three hundn>d •nd sixty-five days of the year.

Was there a big deal about being a sophomore? According to many memb\>!'li of the class of 1998, sophomores had no really big excitement, except for the satisfacllon of not being lhc youngest members of the school. Others relished their tenure as tenth graders. Either way, all sophomores noticed changes since their debut m lugh school. Many sophomores felt that after ~during the incredible 1ump from junior high school to ninth grade. the leap from ninth grade to tenth grade was not very significant. For example, Mari Shapiro admitted that the only change she noticed was that she had become 11 "mere one year older." Kari Donovan, on the other hand, men· tioned that she enJ(>yed the privileges that sophomores were given. For instance, the school reserved lockers on the first floor of the South Building exclu;iively for sophomol'cs. In addition to not having to alw•ys walk upstairs in the morning, sophomores eagerly utilized their new locker's generous storage capacity. Some students noticed that the work load thatteachersassigned for homework increased significantly from their freshman yeAr to their sophomore year. When asked about the most dramatic change Ihe t she noticed over the two years, sophomore Ingrid Lapsa shrugged her shoulders and sighed, ''Tons more work and tons less sleep." Because sophomores had already experiencecl a year of high school, they were more likely to join extrncurricular activities. Shawn Koppadmltted that this hascaused his "much busier schedule." All sophomore. did not agree that tenth grade was a lot of work, however. 01cryl Rumbargerkargucd, "lthinldhadmorewo rk last year." Sophomores enjoyed being the eldest in the South Bui lding. Students loved the feeling of knowing all of the ins and ou ls of the school, looking forward to the events of the year a head, and being able to direct lost fresh· men around the1rnew school. Becauseofthcir experience, sophomores considered running for offices in clubs and organizations, and moving on to VArSity level sports. Although the differences were not always dramatic, sophomores noticed changes from their freshman year.

Students set e.rpectations for tfie year

Jennifor Emigh Stacey Engelder Emre Ertekin Alisha Etzweiler

by Trisha Mont•lbo The sophomore year did not a lways quite turn out as students expected. Although most assumptions about life in tenth grade hit the bull's eye, surprises did wait, hidden in unusual places throughout the ..chool. For almost all students, the second year of high school equaled expecting lots of homework, staying up late, and enjoying ll'Ss free time. All of this cou ld ~-ombine to make tenth grade a very difficult year with which to cope. But most sophomores also planned o n having a good time. Even when students saw a di.fticult year ahead of them, certainexpectatioru. kept them upbeat. These included meeting new teach· ers, seeing friends again, and soon securing a driving permit, among other things. "T thought it \VOuld be easier to come back the second year and J would be able to enjoy myself more at school," stated Abby Faulkner as she looked back at how she believed life would be. One mllll1 surprise that school held for returning students was the addition of a homeroom first tlung in the morning. Disappointment greeted students expecting six minutes between classes-the seven minutes that homeroom ate up forced the schedule to have only five minutes bet ween cla!!Ses. Adjustment to and acceptance of this cl1ange took some time. Jenny Sawyer commented on homerOom, saying, '1 didn' t lil<e it at first, but now I think it's bettcr.H Although many students expected hard work, the amount still shocked some, proving tenth grade was a "big step up" from ninth grade, as Micah Irwin put it. Michael Killeron contrasted betwee n the two grade levels, "The work load was different-during our freshman year, we didn•t get a~ much work and now they're JUSt piling it on us, including more long range assign ment~ and day-to-day homework; it just keeps on comlt,g:· Overall, students fow1d U1eir sophomore year to be fun, as it fulfilled expectations but always proved to be full of surprises.

Kate Taylor and Tom Pollack described themselves as "average sophomores." Each day they followed a schedule which in many ways defined the life of a sophomore. Lil<c most sophomores, Kate had a locker in the "downstairs" of the South Building. Sophomores took pride in the fact that they had the largest lockers. ''l was so proud to have a downstafrs locker U\is year U1at I decorated it really nJce," said !<ate. In homeroom Kate caught up with her peers while listening to U1e rumouncements. New to the school this year, homeroom provided a social atmosphere. It also served as a place to complete the school's clerical work. Next, Kate shuffled off to class after class, enjoying the education she was receiving. "T like English this year with Mrs. Gentry; she's very perky," commented Kate. "We got io talk about more advanced issues." Five periods later, Kate replenished herself at sixth period lunch. Lunch was a time for students lo refuel and to talk with friends. Following lunch, students moved on to more classes, ending thecr day with either calchlng the bus home, staying after school for an activity, or heading off to a team practice. AJU1ough lhemale and female populations experienced virtually the same typical day, many had different views on issues, just as sophomore Tom Pollack did. After homeroom, Tom entered his "wakeup class." First period "is great," commented Tom. "All we do is watdl videos." Mruly students enjoyed laid-back classes in the morning hours, while early birds were ready to get to work as soon as Uwy walked in the doors. Tom then moved on to sixth period lunch where he could talk with friends and "chow down after a long half day." After a hearty lunch, Tom caught a second wind, and was prepared for his last two classes. Lunch provided fuel for the body, alld a jump-start for the remainder of the day. Following the school day, students went to a variety of after scl1ool activities and sports. Whether it was yearbook or the football tea.D\. all offered an enjoyable time and many lessons to be learned. Like so many other tenth grade s tudents. Tom and Kate went through a day of school that, to tilem, was most of the time just a typical school day.

Sopfiomores enjoy a cnalle119ing education

Justin Kondash Shawn Kopp Chnstopher Kowalczyk Kristina Kowalske

by Barb.va King The moment the class of 1998 walked into school, they were no longer freshmen, but sophomores. Because of this, th ey enjoyed several u nique classes, includ ing Driver's Education, and Advanced World Cultures II. When Nick Saven.no made his way into his first Driver's Education class, he was excited about learning how to drive and the idea of gettinghlsdnver'shcenseinMarch. "Driver's Ed is definite))' a cool cl<=. It teaches m. everything we need to know." Instructor Mr. JeffKmunel used his humor to teach students traffic laws and sigflals,safety hints and rules, and anything and everything else about dnving. He would get senous sometimes, however. especially whet\ he related his personal experiences about ~eei ng what can happen when alcohol and driving mix. Dr. Ron WUkerson ("Doc"), one of U1e tNo Ad vanced World Culture.~ TI teachers, offered a very cl\allenging atmosphere in his classes. Most students agreed that Doc's class was definitely a place where they cou ld relax and still learn a tremendous amount. Erik San Julian enjoyed the class because or the "relaxed atmospheno and frequent discussions.* On the other hand, the educational atmosphere was very serious. Since only two test grades determined a major pnrtion of the students' grades, one could sense the stress Mound a test dale. Students that took many advanced classes felt that teachers overload ed them . Students not only fou11d nssig nmcnts d u e on the same day, but a lso many coinciding tests in several different subjects. This sometimes caused a great deal of anxiety as students tned to prepare for everything at once. "Teachers put so much stress on students. Tenth grade is ham, especially with advanced classes," exclaimed Shannon Hogan. To help solve U1is problem, Shannon suggested a block schedu le as a more efficient scheduling system. Although many s tudents had to work very hard, most sophomores admitted llial they still had agrcal year. TI\esophomore dass a lso looked forward toa new year over at the North Butldmg.

Many sophomoresspent the week wajting for the weekend. One can only wonder, however, what ei<actly these ~ophomores did do on the ,,·eekends Summarizing his weekend, &0phomore Ngwa'mbc Fokwa sunply said 'Tarty!" Although not ne«ss.lrily the same as everyone else's op1n1on, this sentiment seemed to serve as one common thread. The weekend really bega n al 3:16 p.m. on Fridnyafternoon. Many \LSed Friday night as a break from school and a beginning for a fun-filled weekend. Becky Lauver stated, "l usually go to a sporting e"ent on Friday, like ice hockey or football; and on Saturday I either go downtown or to a friend's house to watch movies. OnSunda)•, I do all the homework that l have to do over the weekend." Living in a college town provided even more opportunities for students. Besides atLend i11g their own school's events, students partook in events al the nearby Penn State University campus, including sports, craft activities al the HLJB, and many others. For many, Saturdays provided a chance to rel'1X and take a break from the hectic weekdays. Sophomore Jessica liolt declared, "l sleep in, spend quality time with my cat I lowie, clean my room, and play video games." While some used this time to lean back, many others competed in sports.Sophomore Caitlin Fitz remarked, "I usually have a rnce on Saturdays, then I spend Sunday with my friends and doing my homework." D.K Osseo-Asare joined his peer.. in a similar weekend agenda. "I go to track meets, hang out with friends, and do lots of homework.· Those who clid not have any commitments over the weekend took time to relai< and have fun. Roni Jo Redmen delighted in simply "hanging out with my friends downtown." On Sunday, students cracked down and finished the homework they had neglected throughout the weekend. Students also worked ahead on their classwork to avoid stress later in the week, and caught up on work they had missed from the week before. Sophomores enjoyed spending time with familv, while others read books or wrote stories. A few went on short trips for clubs, activiti~, and sports. Many, however, simply spent the time hanging out and doing lhcir homework. All in all, students enjoyed what each weekend had in store for them.

Each year, another class of graduated sophomores ascend from the South Building to the North Building. Beyond the physical move, this change represented a symbolic move in maturing from a tenth grader into a full-fledged member of the senior high. Waiting there for these cager youths were oppor· tunities and activities beyond simply gather· ing knowledge. Sophomores anticipated this move as they crossed the street to the North Building for some of their classes. Specifically, most busi· ness, music, and advanced science classes were held only in the North Building. Com· menti.ngon the move, A UMiller said, "Weare looking forv,.ard to more freedom and getting out of this crowded Souti1 Building." Most sophomores expressed a hope for more freedom across the street. Courtney Homer, admitted that she was "looking for· ward to more independence." Likewise, Abby Marks stated how she felt about the move: '1 expect things to be very different. There's more freedom a nd respo1lSibiJities." Jealously eyeing the North Building's newly-renovated cafeteria, sophomores looked forward to lunches in their jw1ior year. Kim Russell explained that "a better lunch atmosphere, but not so crowded" was somethingsheantidpated. Ryan Willumsonlooked at the change in the quality a.ndquantity of the food offered as a particularly exciting . '1 heard they have really great lunches over there. That's all that matters." Other students anticipated more difficult classes as th~y moved across the street. On the other hand, others realized that they would have more flexibility with their schedules in eleventh grade, and would be able to select the classes that interested them most For students who already had spent much of their sophomore year in the North Building, the change did not seem to be a very significant o ne. But for sophomores who had barely e~'Plored it, the North Building's mul· tiple floors, courtyards, and hallways made it seem like an impossible labyrinth. For some sophomores this added to its appeal, while others became apprehensive as a result of it. Whatever the reason, sophomores found themselves anticipating the move into the new surrow1dings of the North Building. Con· duded jimi Au s imply, "I can't wait."

Some students felt it wasn'L such a big accomplishment and other$ thought that too much fuss was being made over the whole thing. Eric Hoover exclaimed,"! don't Utlnk it's as big a deal as the adminisb:ators think and there should've been more to show it." To show U1eirschool spM l,students parlicipa ted ina variety ofactivities. The football team, for example, worepatcheson their uniforms to exprcsstheirprideU-.atSlateCoUcgewasacentury old. Many students participated in centennial celebrations, such as the homecoming parade andStateCoUege'sCen\ralPennsylvaniaFestival of the Arts. Not onlv did these events give them o chance to show their pride, but they alo;o allowed students to have a good time. Others did their part by wearing one of the custom-made centennial t-shirts or s""reatsh irts, or by just by \.Yearing mar<X>n and gray clothing to show their spirit for the hundredth year. Some sophomores realized how long one hundred years really is. People expressed that it was truly unbelievable thal Sta te College had lasted so long. Heather Wolnick summed it up: "Very few things last one hundred years, so it's cool that State College has." St-u dents, of course, hoped the town and school would last for at least another one hundred years. Even though some s tudents did not know much about what was going on with the centennial, a ,great number felt strongly ~bout the celebrations. Stated Yaw Sellin about the effect of the centennial, "It's nice how it encourages pride in our conummity." Hopefully State College will continue to grow and prosper into the next century.

As-freshmen took a step closer to the real world, th"v looked ahead apprehensively. However, some freshmen looked back at achlevemomts in the past and realized that there would be times or pride at State High. Many freshmen took pnde 1.11 acbv1hesand events in which they were itwolved.

One activity that freshmen enjoyed during the 1995-96 school yea r was lhe health career awareness program entitled "Job Shadowing." For one day in the full and one day in the spring, all freshman heallhstudents wentoul of class and mto the work force to get a pre路 view of what a typical job of their choice was like. The program allowed students to choo.e which carttr they were interested i:n enough lO shadow. Before the experience, students received information about the place of business m which they would study. Finally, students 'vent into the actual workplace lo ''.shadO\V." Students shadowed in various areas, m路 duding modeling, archeology, police work, a nd animal care. Lucky students shadowed local celebriticslnduding PennState Women's Basketball Coach Rene Portland or Paul A lexander of WTAJ TV-10, among others. Unfortunately, some students had to settle for their second or third choice placement due to the f3ct that many businesses could not acconunodate a large number of students. The experience was lhe climax of a lhr~ week career unit in health class. In those three weeks, counselors assi~ted students as they researched various careers and complclcd intereiit inventories, value and work habit studies, and activities in whlcb students organized their financia l futures. The fal\ semesterhealthdassesplanned go job shadowing on November 16, but a widespread power outage pushed the date back to November 21. Spnng semester classes shadowed later in the year. To arrnnge the Job Shadowing experience, students had to wnte a brief letter to the company or person which they hoped to shadow. TI1is letter was intended to introduce themselves to the employer. To complete the final health project, students composed a posler that included a paper explaining the

experience. In 1111, the Job Shadowing experience gave the opportunity to get a "sneak preview" of the future by exposing themselves to a cMeer that they p lanned to pursue in the future. frll~hmen

Students swam in the North Building Natatorium, which meant that most of them had to trek across Westerly Parkway &om the South Building. While half of the class took part in the swimming class, the other half participated in the "Adventure Unit" in th<: South Building Gym. After a month the two groups switched units. To kick off the swl.mmJng unit, s tudents reviewed the four basic str,okes: the crawl, l;>ackstr9ke, breaststroh, and sidestroke.

If one happened to stroll into Centre Commw,ity Hospita1,ontq th;: Penn State campus, or iino the downtown State College district, or even through the hallwaysoftheschool, he or she was bound to find many.students hard at work doing ~ctivities to help support the community. Freshmen became familiarwith volunteering in junior high school. There, students became involvoo .in service organizations such as Buildfrs Oub and KEY Oub. Joining these groups meant partidpahng in \'!lriow. \'Olunteer activities toserve thecommunity. ln high school, these freshmen joined similar clubs, including Youth for a Change (YFC), ASTRA, Future Business Leaders of Ameriai (FBLA). and KEY (Kiwanis Educating Youth) Oub. They also participated in special service activities, includingNational YouthService Day, Special Olympics, and blood drives. Ft'cshmcn also explor~ community service opportunities outside of the school. Centre Community Hospital, for example, atlmclcd rn'1ny students eager to volunteer. Freshmen volunteers there included Sarah Straw,KnsStewart,JennySpearly,and Lind路 say Young. These students worked in the hospital's Snack Bar, transported patients around the hospital. and ran errands for the staff. Many who chose to volunteer at the hospital got a taste of many different medical careers that they could pursue in their !uture. Other students helped out through their churcheg, a ncl other conunwtity groups, such as Habitat for Huma ni ty. Some mny have thought that community service was not an activilv in whicl1 one could express lus or her creati.vity. However, students involved at the Boal Barn Community Theater would greatly disagree. These slu路 dents, including freshmen Tami Bender, Megh.ln Day, Hillary Talliaferro, and Sarah Strllw, participated in the theatre's appren路 ticeship program. This allowed them to receive hands-on experience with the cornmun1ty theater. In addition, they assisted with the productions of the Boal Barn and put on a s how in August. Freshmen learned that helping out in the community benefited both State Collei;e and themselves. By doingconm'w'ity service, they not only helped others, bu t also in turn made themselves fed good.

l'ollliCfll Corr~ctncss. What was it? Who set those invisible vnlues,sosacri!d that wew.:ro taught to fear crossing them? There was no real answer to that question because every· one had his or her own idea of what political correctness really meant already engraved m his or her own mmd. One definition that most people would agrtt upon was that political correctness was an unwnttcn standard by which people com· plied in order not to offend anyone nor lo cau'!e conflict Some examples of political cor· recb\ess. also known as P.C., were calling black people AIro-Americans and referring lo people with physical impairments as physically challenged as opposaj to haJldicapped or disabled. Some other more humorous in· terprelations of pulitical correctness1nduded caUing short people "vertically challenged." When asked about what he lhoughl about political correctness, Venkatesh Varadan an· swered, "l don't have a problem with it because it's good not lo degrade people with slang terms. but 1t has become too important of an tssue and has gotten out of hand." This feeling seemed lo be the same in lhe minds of several freshmen. Many students seemed to agree with him. Brandy Weller and laura Williamsanswered, "Poople have so many differentldeason what political co1Tectness is. that you c.m't m<Lkc everyone happy." One student added an interesting poillt. ''If you have to be politically correcl, then why aren't freshmen called 'freshpcopte:" a~ked Sara Becker. People where not really sure when politi· cal correctness started-However, Mrs. Susan Bickford, a wcial studies teacher in the South Bmlding, s.11d that "Political Correctness first started oul as people not wanting to offend anyone." According to her, it began as an effort to reduce tension between different races, religions, and cultures. In the end, pohbcal correctness was helpmg to reshape how different people felt about 01w another regardless of race, religion and culture. In addition, many people felt that political correctness could be regarded as the stumbling block of many in the nineties as they strive for equality and peace.

Memories of a Lifetime

Mr. Troy Alesi, Industrial Arts Dr. Thomas Arnold, Science Mrs. l'Mricla Axt, English/U.nguage

by Jennifer Balliet & Jody Wachob For many teachers memorable moments were what made their job worthwhile. Whether these memories were funny or serious, each teacher's~llection stood out asa significant lime to remember. Mr. Robert Placky reminisced about his tradihon of taking photographs of his art classes. It began in 1983,duringa heatwave of ninety degree weather. A student, Michael Knight, had the idea of invading the swimming pool in the childcare room. Mr. Placky took a picture of the e'•ent. starting his trndihonal end of the year photos. Mr. William Harrington was the reap1ent of an mgeroous practical joke played out by ~r. Steve Gentry. During one of \Ar. Harrington's classes, Mr. Gentry used a ladder to crawl through tile ceiling into Mr. Harrington's room. Needless to say, it wi1s d ifficu lt for studet\ts to concentrate on the lesson at hand. Eacll year, Dr. MargueriteCiolkosz dons a different element for a day to entertain her chemistry c:Llsses. The day she cl105e to be alwninum became a particularly memorable one. On a whun, she decided to address her class from the top of a desk. UnfortunatPly, a stud~nt's parent walked Uito the room M that time, unaware of the reason for Dr. Clolkosz's outfit that day (she was covered head to toe in Reynold's aluminum foil). AJU,ough it was cmbarassing at the time, theinodenteventuallybecame a source of amusement. Mrs. Jan Hildenbrandt remembered when she took a group of academically challenged students on an intensive field study in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona. After the trip the students had to give an oral presentation in the auditorium to the student body. Even withonlyoneday to prepare for the presentation, the students received a stancting ovation, which made Mrs. Hilc,lenbrandt very proud. If every teacher made a book of memories, ilS pag125wou ld be filled with many accou nts. Each year promises to bnng new memories to add to a growing collection.

Every year a new batch of teachers enters the school system. These new faces for a new school year brought many new and fresh ideas iJ1to the school. The 1995-96 school year saw eleven new faces, each with new ideas and plans for the future. TheC.A.A.T. (Center for Applied Academics and Technology) Program welcomed Ms. Robin Bastress (Childcare), Mrs. Susan Hancharik (Allied Health), and l\/Jr. Raymond Williams (Food Service). These teaehers helped a lot With the hands-on experiences that these students learned from. They also helped to run activities that went o n beyond the daily school day. The English and Foreign Language departments expanded to include Ms. Rachael Gehrke, Mr. Christopher Paglia, Mr. Stacy Tibbets, and Ms. Kim Zimmer. All of these teachers brought new b1sight to the literature and materials being discussed. Others crea ted new projects to interest their students, giving them an alternative form of leami:ng. The Science and Math Department welcomed Mr. Christopher Foltz and Ms. Karen Davis re$pectively. Although these teachers could not interpret the Jaws of science and nature differently, lhey did their part to make the learning process as much fun as possible. l\/Jr. Andrew Wilson took on the responsibility of being a Social Studies teacher. Although Mr. W ilson had worked for the district on a part-time basis in earlier years, this year was the first yea r that this State High alumnus had his ow1\ classes. Ms. Barbara Judy also joined the staff, beginning her career as a Family and Consumer Science instrutor. With such a growing field, the possibilities for instruction seemed nearly endless, w ith the material fun and interesting at the same time.

Carin9 Teachers show compassion white creatin9 memories

Mrs. Judy Lysaker, English Mrs. Betty Mark, Staff Mrs. Michelle Mason, Science

by Jennifer Hari11g Aller students' four years of high school, perhaps their memories contained encouraging words or assuring faces. Or maybe they remembered a time when a teacher was especially nice on a bad day. Memories of teachers camelrommanydiffcrentaspectsoftheschool day. How do those special teachers want to be remembered? '1 want to be remembered ilS someone [students) can talk to, who could encourai;e them to d<> more than. they ever thought pos· stble," explained Mrs. Jill Campbell. Students apprcclillcd U1e fact that many teachers were willing to listen with open minds and hearts to thetr problems, both small and large. It was incredible how fasttheyearssped by with only memories as reminders. Those ind· denl5 were Just as import.mt to students' lives as the memories came to be. Students grew from the people they en· countered Such a person was Mrs. Jessica Barth, the choir director. She wanted to be remembered as, "Someone who is lovmg and who tnes to teach harmony in both music and life as well as giving laughter. I want to be a loving teacher." It was the "loving teacher" that allowed studClllS to embrace life rather than i;ive up on it. Perhl\ps the quiet, yet busy, teachers were the ones who gave so much away without any realization of just how much it meant. Sometimes teachers' scll·sacrilice meant more to the students than what the teacher could unagme. Mrs. Sharon Pearson knew all about being busy, yet she wanted to be remembered as "someone who would listen, Lry to understand [the students' ) point of view and care very much about them," a trait that could neverbeoverlooked. An important aspect of high school was education, but the memories that special teachers created would remain unforgettable.Thememoriesshaped the lives and the futures of the students. For U1is, the students owed a gi-eat "Thank You" to all the teachers who had loved and cared

ror them.

by Jessica Zehngut Through the heal of Auguslto the chill of November, the State College Area Little Lady Lion soccer team, Coach Kevin Moroo1tey, demonstrated an incredible work ethic in practices as well as on the field. Despite several exhausting and emotional overtime games, the team always managed to pull together asa cohesive unit when the situation demanded it. Not only did they grow asa tea m on the field, but off the field as well. lt was "a good year as a team," commented sophomore Heather Thomson, a member of the ~ varsity squad. "We came together both on a nd off the ~ field. Weallgotalotdoser. We discovered who we were ~ and what we wanted to accomplish as a team."

Gainin9 control of the Girls' Soccer

After a strenuous three weeks of pre-seaon prcparaLion, during which the team established itS gnals, the varsity team opened up its season with bigh expectations at a challeitging tournament in Erie. Following a loss in a close match to a strong Mercyhursl Prep team and a w in over Fairhaven, the squad had a chance early in the season to evaluate all aspects of their game-play and make alterations before games amongst members of the D istrict 6 would begin. Tri-captains Megan McCormick, Sarah Sweeney, and Jessica Zelmgut led the team to a final record of 17-6, includ ing a 2-1 record i.n the district playoffs. Even though the season included losses, the team always keep their enthusiasm and spirits at high levels. "Our los_qes didn't stop us from getti ng better.'' said senior Dorsaf Ben-Jebria. "We tried to improve our game-play after losses." After beating Central Cambria 4-0 in the quarterfinals of the districts and winning 3-1 Jn an exciting overtime match with Somerset, the litlle L.1dy Lions faced d istrict rival Lock Haven under the lights at Pem1 State's Jeffrey Field for the district title. Despite a good effort, the Lions lost 1-0. The junior varsity team also developed into a cohesive squad, but it was somewhat more difficult. "We had to work a lot harder this year because we had a lot more people to work w ith," said junior Reen.ie Feretti. llut according to Feretti, the team "showed marked improvemeitt from the beginning of l11e season to lite end," and along the way est11blished a 9+5 record. W ith the help of their ability to come together as a team, both of the girls' soccer teams achieved nol only success, but also friendship amongst the players.

It was terribly hot. Overhead, in the clear blue sky, the la te August sun shonewitha blazing fury, cJriving most people to their air-<:ond itionecJ living rooms. But a t Spring Creek Park, a group of aboltt twenty boys were cha~; ng each other madly across the fields and through the surrow1ding woods, impervious to the heat and humidity. The boys' Cross-CoW1try team, under the watchful eyes of Coach Bob Baumbach and his assistants Bob Radzwich and Jeff Dover, began its season with intense workouts, including high mileage runs through the mountains of Black Mosha1rnon and shorter speedintensive sessions on the h;gh school track.

Districts: 2nd PIAA States: 16th

Because the workouts were extremely demanding, they forced the twenty-two individuals on the roster lo come together as a single team W1il. Other activities, such as building a Homecoming float to carry the team's unofficial mascot, the Fighting Llama, only strengthened these bonds between teammates. "I really like the whole team aspect," said sen ior Kevin Younkin. '1 like depending on people and being depended upon." As the season progressed, the work began to pay off; the team placed well at many meets. They performed exceedi ngly weU at the Lebanon Valley Invitational.. where they placed third, and had one of the top finislles among Pen11Sylvania schools. The junior varsity runners came t ip with some solid performances as well. Jeff Paine and Brian Pennick set personal records at the Penn State Spiked Shoe Invitational; and Jeff Bundy, after consistently strong races throughout the season, was named an a lternate to the seven-man squad whkh competed at the State Cha mpionships on November 4, With the conclusion of the season just aroW1d the comer, the seniors began lo reminisce about their careers, which had started four Jong years before. The State Championships gave the seniors theil" last opportunity to show both lheircoachesand fellow teammates their ability. As the seniors made their way to the finish line one final time, the jw1iors, sophomores a nd freshme11 were preparing themselves to toe the starting line again next fall and continue the tradition of excellence that is State College Cross-Coun try.

by Amy and Melissa Ziegler After winning lhe State Championships last year, lhe girls' cross country team showed up for summer prac· tices with a great deal of enthusiasm. Summer training forlhe fall season consisted of"Monday fun runs," team bonding activities including ice-cream sundae parties, and long distance runs. Coach Steve Gentry nnd Assistant coach Diane Robinson led the te~m to competitive Saturday meets. They partiapated in many invitationals across the state including Lebanon Valley, Spiked Shoe, Carlisle, Bloomsburg, Steel City, State College, Districts, and ~ finally, Stlltes. < Although hounded by injuries and illnesses, the squad

I-Jard work paid off a t thc District Six meet, where sophomore Chris Crowe •chieved a persona I best in the District Six Cross Country Championships and where she finished ahead of rival Altoona's Krista Runk. The varsity team ran a strQng race finishing second at districts while the junior varsity team capped off a strong season with an aggressive District race and a second place finish. In a cruel twist of nature, the weather at the 1995 PJAA State Championships, held at State College, was blistery cold after an atypically mild season. Snowflakes and >irong winds took their toll a~ the Little Lady Lions placed twelfth in the nineteen-team race. "A real positive is that we lose only one senior:' said Coach Gentry, who praised senior Captain Gretch~n Lindner for "setttng a tone on the team that's been very supportive and out of th,1t we'll be nblc to build forncxt

The team's spirits remained high throughout lhe season, and they attained victories over Bishop Guilfoyle and Lock I lavcn. "I'm proud of how hard we worked and how wcll the team played as a unit," said Shapiro. However, theregularseasondid notsignalanend for the team. The squad reached the Team District Six Championship, where they lost in Ule semi final round to Hollidaysburg 2-5.

A d oubles team, consisting of Jessica Berg and Desiree Julia, en tered the Pl AA tournament, where they lost in the first round While learning the fundamentals of the game and mastering their technique, the junior varsity squad also had an equally successful season. "The junior varsity tennis program hnsimproved lOO'Tofrom last year," said Head Coach Todd Bowersox. Even though they just began their tennis careers, many of the junior varsity athletes showed Improvement by the ~nd of the season. 'There has been so much improvement on our team," said Asoistant Captain Jen Amie. "Many come not knowing much about tennis." The junior varsity squad continually showed im· mense amounts of potential which would aid them in their transition to the varsity squad 'The JUnior va.rsiy girls have worked really hard," said Anna Kraemer. ''There are so many upportunines." Although the squads did not win every game, they learned how 10 be a successful team and how to play to th e best of their ability .

"We had a good team and we worked hard to have a winrung and successful season," said freshman Lisa Tutwiler. "Our coaches helped us to see what we needed to improve. We put in extra time and worked hard to be as good as our coaches wanted us to be." Although the season ended short of Uu?

by Josh Bresler The State College Varsity and Junior Varsity football teams enjoyed action-packed games throughout the season. Throughmanyupsanddowns, the Varsity team finished with a 4-6 record while the Junior Varsity team completed their season with a record of 4-5. Althollgh the team did not make it to the State Playoffs, they still had a productive season. There were high puints to th"' oeason which illustrated the skills and work etlucs of the athletes. ln the first game of the year, during a hard fought victory over Bellefonte, the Lions ,. kept control of the coveted Iron Kettle.

niors, as well as outstanding help from underclassmen. Sc1'iors who had n lnrge roll in the season included Steve Weaver, Chris Sh.,ridan, Dua ne Reeves, Bria n Rogers, Mark Lin ta I, Richie Swanger, Josh Bresler, Kevin J>oormnn, and Chris Phillips. Severa.I underclassmen, including Pat Nixon, Mark MacClay, Mark Hagen, Ray Ghaner, and Derrick Parsons, also made their mark on the season. Every member of the squad contributed to the overall i.ucce&> of the season. "Everyone had a real feehng of accomplishment, from the two-a-day pra<"ticcs in AllgUSt until the la.st game of the year," said senior Chris Sht<ridan. "It was close," said Head Coach Ron Pavlechko. "We were a piny away from taking control of the Glen ~ls game. We were two minutes shy of really stretching Valley View. That's how close our season was. If we could have made those critical plays, record-''1.se and scoreboard-wise, il could have been a lot different.# Although they suffered a losing record, the Junior Varsity squad gained valuable experience. Several athletes stood out, including Kyle Hoover, Jon Ganter, T.J. Jimeson, DustyShetler,JustinCalahan,JeffWallace, Pat Newby and Ian Bannon. Head Coach Dave Lintal said that, '1 Lhink there was a noticeable improvement as the season went a long. The noticeable thing was the level of Improvement. Everybody contributed and gave an outstanding effort." It was an enjoyable year for all participa nts, coaches, p layers, managers, trait\ers, parents, and the fans, as both of the State College football teams once again fought their way through a tough and challenging year.

by State, a l<>ss would occur and the season would come to a dose. Due to the fact that five seniors graduated th is year, the team will need to work hard to replace the Joss of Ju lie Morgan, Mylisa Pilione, Kelly McKinney, Jodi Younkin, and Courtney I-leaps. "The one U1ing lhat made this team different then past teams was we knew we could beat every team we played, and that is a foundation to which the underclassmen can build on," reflected Pilione. Not only was the season marked by the team accomplishments, but also by the accomplishments of the individuals. Courtney Heaps was named to the First All-Conference Team of the Mid-Alleghenies Confer· ence, while Jodi Younkm and Mylisa Pllione earned honorable mentions. TiwJunior Varsity squad demonstrated that they had good qualities a nd techniques to pass on to next year's Varsity team as they finished the season with a 15-3 record . "We accomplished many of our goals Ulis year mainly because we p layed together very well asa team," noted junior Alison Proch. The 1995-1996 season marked the third straight year that Bethany Irwin, an alumnus of the Penn State Women's Basketball team, coached the Little Lady Lions. In his first year, Rob Irwin joined the girls' basketball staff as an assistant coach to help in leading the program to excellence. The headway made in this season served as another step forward toward earning a State title. TI1e graduating seniors left their legacy behind as the underclassmen step up to take on the challenge in a quest for excellence.

Reachin9 toward a meet

After two highly s uccessful seasons at the State meet, the 1995-96 Girls' Swimming and Diving squad had to p repare to face many new challenges. But, under the leadership and help of swimming coaches Mr. Peter Moyer, Tim Pfeuffer, Linda Fink, Todd Roth, diving coach Seth Can and co-swim captains Marion Wakeley and Megan Senior and diving captain Anna Hefferan, the team p ulled together to step up to those challenges. Similar to the previous year, the team faced a new dual meet schedule, which included many of the top learns in the the state. Although the challenge appeared enormous, the squad overcame the obstacle and posted a 11"3 season record.

"The girls have established a very good tradition of excellence, " said Coach Peter Moyer, "and through having placed at the end of the year, we're hoping that that tradition will contin ue." Withthecombinationoftheteam'scompetitivesched ltle and intensive b-itlning, U1e team claimed its seventeenth district tiUe and advanced to compete at the l'lAA State Meet. At thel'IAA Statecompetitlon, held atilie Pennsylvania State University, the team finished fourth while winning numerous events. Along with winning first p lace in the 200 individual medley, senior Tasha Kulka also won first place in U1e 100 meter breast stroke, while senior Megan Senior pla~-ed thirteenth in that race. Not only did individuals shine at the state com petition, but also relay teams. TI1e relay team including freslm1an Kristin Meister, junior Kirsten Grigbr, and seniors Kulka and Senior placed first in the 200 meter free relay. The competition was extremely close; and going into the final event, Stale held second place. "Overall, we swam the best season ever by placing fourth a t States," said Kulka . "As a senior, it was a really special experience." The senior veterans p rovided experience and a strong work ethic as a guiding force for the youngerS\\~ mmers. "I'm really going to miss the seniors," said freshman Jackie Roberts. "They made it really fun. That allowed our team to be very s uccessful." Al though many seniors were sentimental over their last season on the swinuning and diving teams, they looked back at their careers with pride. "This had to be one of the best years of my h igh school ca reer," commented senior Marion Wakeley. " We had a lot of fun together and I will always remember this team as one of U1e best."

"Change" was a word with which this year's Varsity Cheerleadingsquad was quite familiar. Not only did the squad admit its firStfreshman member, Lynn Lutchman, but it also added two male cheerleaders, Randy Riesterer and Bo Chang. With a number of strong tumblers and very powerful stunters, this year's squad set their sights on qualifying for the national competition at Disney World, Florida. "I enjoy cheerleadi.ng because it's fun," said senior Bo 01ang, one of the two males added to the squad this season. "Tencourage all males to join; it's a great experience!''

co-captains Katherine Antarikso and Gwen Gu lllard. Try-outs were held in Apri l and practices started soon after. The practices continued throughout the summer and quickly intensified as U1e squad started preparing for the Universal CheerleaderS Association Camp, held from July 23-26. The squad performed well at the CiUllp, capturing a "superior'' tl'Ophy for ii!\ outstanding perfom1ance in the fi nal evaluations. Also, the squad saw one of its own members, KatherineAntarikso,na.m edanAll-Star01eerleadcr. 路 "I'm really g)ad J participated in cheerleading this year and i'll never forget it!'1 exclainled senior Gwen Guillard. After participati ng at the sum.mer Clllllp, the squad began preparation for both the oncoming football season and tluec coo1petitions. Despite its long season, which ended in February, thecheerlead ingsquadleamed to unite by pulling together during rough times, includi.n g the passing on of teammate Stacy Yackere11. The Junior Varsity Cheerleading squad, advised by Ms. Linda Brown, also had an invigorating year. With fresh talent, led by co-captains Laur" Dougan and Marykate Herr, the squad participated alongside its varsity counterparts at pep rallies and sporting events. "I think that as a whole our squad has totally bonded and knows how to \\rork together and have fun," SAid Maryka te Herr.

by Michael McGill They may not have battled the intense competition of scholastic basketball squads, but the !MBA teams broughl tournament-quality play to the North Building's o ld gymnasium. In his seventh year as lhe proprietor of intramural Basketball (TMBA), Mr. Joseph Boris led between 250 and 275 students through the bleak winter months by p laying organized league basketball. "One of the main things (about TMBA) is that it really provides students with a worthwhile activity over the winter," said Mr. Boris. Notonly did L\1BA provide students with an activity ) ~ to engage in while fighting off the winter-blues, but it

also gave students the chance to compete outside of the ordinary school environmen t. "I think that I llke to watch students compete with one another and I like to see everyone interacting on a non-;icademic field," said Boris. lJ:...fBA also allowed students to compete without the pressures nonnally associated with scholastic sports. "It's a rea lly fun thing IQ do," said senior Brian Rogers, "because there is no pressure on you and you can have a lot of fun with your frlends, just playing a game of basketball." Participants in the sport played games almost daily each week in a "round robin" format: teams in each of the two leagues, Alpha and Bein, played one another at least one tirne. Then, atthe end of the regular season, the winners of the Alpha and Beta leagues battled one anotl1er. Reasons to join TMBA varied among studeot parHcipants, but overall many b«ame a part of the intramural sport for U1e same reasons tl1at senior Joe Brigandl, capta in of Tony D's Fighting Five, joined. "To have fun while playing, that's why I joined." !MBA, above all, offered some .freedom. Participants had the opportunity to choose their own teammates, team titles (ranging from t.he conservative Lords to the radical Release the Tomato), and uniforms. Although the season came to a close in early March, Mr. Boris ad mitted, "Now that 1 sta rted it (IMBA), I don't want to stop." Participants in Uw lnb-amural Basketball program learned not only the rules of basketball and how to compete as a team, but also how to have fun at the same

So, in a desperate rampage to find an activity to occupy their time, students turned to intramural sports, including bowling, rugby, ultimate frisbee, and weightlifting. Intramural Weightlifting saw continued growth this school year as morealhleles began to grasp U1e idea that training before, during, and after a season would keep them in better health, both physically and mentally. "Tt's just a good time, and kids really enjoy it," said Mr. George Walker, the supervisor of the weight training

Intramural Sports

facility. Walker, a professional weightlifter himself, offered his years of expertise and experience to the athletes. "It's good teamwork and goc>d friendships are made here," he added. Ultimate Frisbee also gained a large following this school year. Although the game is traditionally played during the fall and spring months, somestudenlS dared to play during thcwinter. "!twas really fun,'' said senior Jason Spearly. "It was great to go out there and p lay against my friends because you simultaneolLqly compete and have a good time." Garnes were often played on both the Drivers' Ed field and the lawn outside the music wing of the North Building. The aggressiveness of the players was apparent due to tile continually increasing number of frlsbees landing on tile roof of tile school. Rugby was another mtramural sport that the school offered. The rugby intramural program, whlch began years ago, was once again run under the leadership of staff member Mr. Pete Coray. The high school also provided studenlS with an opportunity to compete against one another on the bowling lanes of Northland Bowl IM Bowling, under the direction of Mr. Pete Coray, met weekly after school at the bowling alley. "It's a great way to get rid of your frustrations,'' sa id senior Malt Rehring. "Just imagine that the pins are the faces of people you d islike and the bowling ball is you." Alth<'ugh they did not compete in District or State playoffs, the members of the intra mural sports teams performed with enthusiasm which was equal totlloseof interscholastic athletes.

The 1995·1996 Ninth Grade sports season was one that was full of change. Along with the addition of new boys' and girls' basketball teams, the sports teams experienced change with the introduction of serious utter· scholastic play for the freshman athletes. Under the direction of coaches Mr. Doug Arnold and l\tlr. Dennv Rhule, the Ninth Grade Football team displayed a positive attitude by fighting back from a 0·2· l record al the start of the season to a 4·3·1 finish. "We started off the season a little s haky," said Brian Spanier, ,. "but the last four games we played the best we ever 1 had." ~ In the first season w ith two Ninth Grade Boys' Bas·

Det1elopin9 the needed ,

.. kelball teams, the Maroon Basketball team welcomed the next level of interscholastic play as they battled to a 7-9 record. '"We were in 0\'ery game," said Coach Mr. JimSchaper. "Wewereverycompetitiveandnevergave up." On the other side of the court, the Cray Basketball team, coached by Mr. Denny Rhule, achieved an 8-10 record. "We had a lot of fun together.'' said Coach Rhule. "They worked hard during practice and did everytltlng that I asked of them ." The girls' Maroon and Gray basketball squads had equal amounts of success U1is season. Coached by Mrs. Bathany Trwin and Mr. Rob Brauner, the girls' teams worked to further their athletic skills. "I think they did an excellent job," conm1cnted lrwin. "Both teams were very successfu I." Although they were primarily interested in sports competitions, tbe frcslm1an members of the fall and winter sports teams learned lessons tl1at a ided U1em in both athletic skills and life.

Throughout the year, the ninth graders entering the sports scene at the high school gained a great amount of experience and knowledge in both their sports and lives. Members of the ninth grade chcerleading, track, and wrestling teams spent most of thei r time learning the skills needed to compete interscholastically at their sports and began to learn the meaning of teamwork. For the ninth grade dleerleaders, Lhe season began during) une 1995 with a hvo-day National Cheerleading Association camp at the hlgh school. M.idway through the season, the fifteen-member squad gained a new coach, Ms. Tracy Fein, who Jed the team to a successful season. "We accomplished a lot through the year, and

we were very proud of these accomplishments," sa id Elizabeth Parfitt. In addition to performing at ninth grade football, basketball, and wrestling matches, the squad took another step towards the varsity cheerlead.i.ng team. The Girls' Track team, under the direction of Ms. Terry Meszaros and Ms. Audrey 1:-Jartz, achieved their tenm goals. With varying lengths of workouts and practices, the squad aided student athletes in the development of self-discipline and respect for others. "There's a lot of ninth graders (on the team), and we hnd a great team because of their experience," said Coach Hartz. "They had experience and they had a lot of help from the scvenU1 and eighth graders," she continued . The Ninth Grade Boys' Track team also obtained a high level of success. Coaches Doug Arnold, Skip Coleman, and Joel Covert worked to prepare the boys for competitions and for moving on to the Varsity team in tenth grade. Coached by Mr. David Dillon, the Ninth Grade Wrestling team demonstrated their ability and potential by achieving a 12-5 season record. Although a ll p layers contributed tu the squad's st1ccess, Max Schnellbaugh. Mike Sawlders, Eric Wright, Mil<e Reyes, Scott Folks, Tom Newby, and Adam Phillips stood out as particularly talented wrestlers. "This year's group of ninth graders is one of the best I've coached in my ten years," commented Coadl Dillon. After hours of grueling p ractices and competition, the members of the ninth grade winter and spring spo.r ts teams gained a significant an\OWlt of knowledge and experience about both themselves and their s port.

Katrina Porter continued her success in the jumps, while Megan McCormick placed in Sta tes in the half· mile and Chris Crowe earned a State medal in the mile. At lhc beginning of the outdoor season, Coach Steve Gentry did somethi11g new: he sat down with thesquad at their first meeting and p.resented a list of team goals to try to accomplish as a team. These inc:luded winning U1e District title and advancing as many athletes as possible onto the State championships. Gentry chal· lenged tllese groups of athletes to push themselves to do whatever they needed lo do to fill all U\ree positions at the District meet in all the jumps and throws. Atllletes discovered that track and field wa.s a lot harder than just rumtlng around a track; instead, il look dedication to practicing and mental toughness. The hardest workouts took place on Tuesdays and Thurs· days, when practices consisted of repeats. During re· peats, athletes ran hard for a certa in distance, and then jogged or walked the same distance. Sprinting Coach Diane Robinson also incorporated plyometrics to U1c spritners' workou ts as a strength-building exercise. On Wednesdays, the team would pile into the State College natatodum for a swimming workout. As a result of a long season of hard work and determinaticm these goals were met to the best of everyone's ability. The seniors kept tile team focused on its goals. Track seniors included Michelle Abruzzo, Katrina Por· ter, Merritt Frederick,] ud i th Dempsey,Mi.cheUe Roland, Tracy Shaffer, Melissa Ziegler, Suzanne Bntenin~, Denise 1:-lin tosh, April Love, Bernadette Regan, Esper,mza Jular, Jen Godlesky, and Amy Griel.

Right from the start, one question that each team member harbored in the back of !us nund was, "Can we be as successful lhis yCill' as we were last year?" Faced wilh U1e task of replacing several powerful graduated seniors, thib task seemed formidable.

much deserved success in the indoor and outdoor cam· paigns. Thi> succl!s~ wa;. due largely tn lhe incredible work ethic exlubitecl by the individual team members. Senior captains E:tr.l Fitz, John Pomeroy, and Kevin Younkin, along with ..eniors Errol Bakkec, Duane Reeves and Andrew Sm1th drew upon their years of expenence to set strong examples for the underclassmen in lhis regard. HEvery time we stepped on the track, we had it in our minds that we were going to give 110%.H remarked Younkin. "There was going to be blood on the track by the time we we1·e through.'' Having this mental tnuglu1ess in practice transla ted into giving strong performances in the many meets. Reeves would go on to place second in the State in the long jump while Fitz took sixth place in the mile. Senior John Pomeroy, when asked about his attitude toward winning, said, "You know,somebodymay beat me...but they're gonna have to bleed to do iL" Team unity also played an imp0rtant role in the successes of the team over the months of competition. One of lhc distance rwmers' favorite actlvlnes was watching a documentary on Steve Prefontaine, a worldclass runn& from Oregon during th~ 1.960s. " What I admire most about him is how he ran balls to the wall every race ...by that 1mean after every race he could step off the track a nd o;ay '1 really did my best.' What a message,H said Eua Fitz of his idol As the 1995·96scasoncametoaclosewilh lhe District 6 and Pl AA State Championships, each team member looked back on a successful season and thought to himself those same words: "I really did my best "

Although these were obstacles in this year's te.un, the girls fell they did a good job overcoming them and giving it their best. Although the team missed the rune seruors from last year, five new seniors stepped up to fill leadership positions. These seniors were Sarah Falke, Caroline Kao, Mt<San Kelly, Krista Kovalcin, and Jodi Younkin. Although only one of these seniors started last season, the team did not inhibit them from being as dedicated and hardwo rking as they hoped to be.

The softball team worked extremely well as a group and always seemed to pull together when they needed to. Pre~.:ason began with cold weather and snow whicli forced the team to pracbce inside. Players had to alternate gym space with the baseball team. This meant that they had to stay late and sometimes go without practicing the day before a game However, all the pr.-icticing. and late night workouts wi:re finally put to use after rnany delayed games. TI1ey began their tough season with some o f the hardest games they would have, which pl.-iccd them with a losinis record . But~oon they faced lessossressive team~. The team always knew that even though they had lost a few, they had p layed very well. These tough games would ol\Iy benefit them, for after them lhc team was better prepart'd for Districts. CoachjackMcCurdyled theteamforthesewnd year in a row. Jen Traynor stepped up this year from the Junior va..,,ity Head Coach position to assist Coach McCurdy with the Varsity team Coach \ifcCurdy worked U1e g irls hard throughout the season to keep them in s hape and working as a team. " l think if we as a team continue working as hard as we do, it will a ll come together at the end," said Megan Kelly. "After all, togetherness is the key to success." Coach McCurdy felt that the team wa~oneof the best in many years and was very posibve about the season. The positive ;ittitudc of the team really paved the way for the i.e"l>On'~ su.xess. Although the season proved to be a tough one, the team knew that by continuing to work their hardest 1t would pay off in the end.

by Will Chaiu1ell and Kent Hulet With some of last year's disappointments hanging over their shoulders, the Boys' Volleyball teams hoped to come back with a strong season. Hard work and dedication gave the teams a jumpstart in theircompeti· lion. TI1e season began with many questions as to which players would fill the void left by last year's players. Some of these questions were answered with the many hours at practice over spring break. With Coad1 Dana Aina'sdrive to tUltap the players' maximum potentia l, :i the early season workout schedule was filled with intense practices six hours a day. Practice consisted of ~...::::::.---1 ~counties$ drills and endless conditioning wiU1 inter-

·' mixed weight training. These solid daily practices prepared the team for their rigorous season. The team was composed of seven returning letter· winnersalongwitheight new players. The starting team consisted of eight players: outside hitters and co-cnptains Will Chanell and Paul Monson, middle blockers Yevgeniy 01ernyshev ai1d Matt Whittaker, right side hi ttcr Chris Readinger, setter Firat Orkan, a.n d defensive specialists Kent Hulet and Simon Shung. Other contributing players included Rob Billet and Jason Tressler. Toumaments at Cambridge Springs, Derry, State College, Central York, and Quakertown provided stiff competition and gave 11ecded experience to a team of young players. District play this year was unpredictable at times with main rivals consisting of Ridlla11d and Central. With solid early season wins, the team gained mucilneeded experience and momentum to carry it through the long sea;;on.Senior middle blocker Matt Whittaker e"'J'lained,"The mental side of our play will be a factor in the success of the team. A strong mental game combined with our team talent will provide a way to fulfiU the season's goals." TI1e Jwlio1· Varsity team also enjoyed a successful year. The team worked doscly with Coach Dana Aina to learn the essential skills of play, and to prepare them for moving on to fill vacanc:iesin the Varsityteamnextyea.r. Teamwork and a desire to win put the Boys' Volleyba II teams in favorable positions by the end of the year. Asseniorco-captainPaul Monson explained, "We work all seilSOn for one day of play at the District toumament. It is vital to tbe team's success tbatwe play together and have the will to \Vin."

With thP thought of the 1994-1995 Varsity Boys' Ten· nis team's achievement in capturing both the Central Counties League Championship ond the District Vl Team Champio11ship, lhe 1995-1996 VaNity end Junior Varsity TennJS squads had a lot to prove. The Boys' Varsity Tennis team, led by the ageless and determined Head Coach Michael Shapiro, enjoyed a productive S("aSQn. In addition to the coach, the team's leadership stemmed from four seniors. Co-Captains Jamey Scilltz and Shankar Sunduram, Jeremy Schroeder, and Chris Collins. Jun ior Mike Uchno also provided an immense amount of leadership to the squad.

l'roh•hly th~ greatest accomplishment of the year was the team's first place finish at the Downingtow11 lnvilll· tional. Thls victory, ;igainst suburban L"hiladelphia teams, meant a great deal to the team due to the fact that 1t was the fir~t timto that a Stat" College team has ever won thls uw1tational. Plaang first at Downingtown was one of th<! main goals that the team aspired for dunng the early weeks of the season. This was ob\1ously a year for Jirsts. l'ot only did State High win the Downingtown Invitational, but they also added a new learn, Lock Haven, to U1eir sixteen-match schedule. For the third straight year in a row, the Little Lions won the Stale College Invitational. The team'; mojor focus and greatest motiviation was to make Cooch Shapiro's last Y""r a memorable one, both on and off the court. Shapiro decided to retire following this scasonaftcrscrvingas tennis coach for37 years. The players agreed that he was probably one of the best coaches in State High's history. Hrm happy to be able to contribute to another stellar season,• explamed Chris Collins, • which Cnach Shapiro can add lo his already incredible record." The Junior Varsity squad, under the direction of Coach Tod<l Bowersox, also achieved success through dedication and a desire to refine thcir s kills and tech· niqucs. "We seemed to be getting sttonger with every match, so there is going to be a strong Varsity team next year,• explained .ophomore Ke\'in Van Aclsl. Although both the Varsity and the Junior Varsity Boys' Tennis leilrns will be without the expertise and tutelage of veteran tennis Coad\ Michael Shapiro, the strong underclassmen will undoubtedly step up lo lead the squads lo outstanding seasons in the future of State High tennis.

AlUlough lhc hlgh school offered a wide va rlety of inter;;<;holastic and intramural sports, many s tudents did not find a sport that suited them. These students turned to aU\lctic activities offered ou tside of lhe school environment.

the body," said junior Leila Oarabi. Practices began with a demanding conditioning session followed by bouling lime, when students competed against one another. ln addition to the lhreetimCS-<"l-We<!k practices, fencers also took private lessons, where co.~ches taught strategics on how to improve mdividual performance. "Of aU the sports that I have ever pa.rbClpated m," said iumor Judy Gordon, •renc:iilg suits me lhe best It's my absolute favonte.H Although State High did not have a school-sponsored ice hockey program, many students instead participated in a local team. As is the case w1thinterscholasticsports, the teams discovered that no matter how hard they played, at one time o r another they fell short of their goals. "We had a pretty up and down season," said senior Paul Rottner, "but no matter what the score was wenevergaveup The team always gave it lheiraU,righl up Wllil the final buzzer, and 1 think that's what really counts.,. Not only did oul'lide sports provide entertainment for both fans and part1C1pants, but it also allowed athletes to maintain their mental health. The Martia I Arts were just one of the athletic activities w hich aided in good mental health. "The Martial Aris ke<;p one in shape," said Dan Shirer, "but probably more importantly, they allow one's mind to mature. Martial Artists are more than ju~t mercenaries, their art becomes a way of life.• Although Stale High provided many interscholastic sports, some <hadents' athletic ifltcrcsts were outside that range of choices. Participating in such sports as fencing and the Martial Arts provided the opportunity for students to tmjoy their favorile acllvltics outside of the school environment.

Growing Customs ••••••••••••••••••••• From a group of farmers talking together, to a state-wide Future Farmers of America program, the organizations of State High have grown tremendously. Starting from scratch wlth students of like backgrounds, the school did not r"ally need such various clubs and organizations. In 1896, however, the student population accounted for indi· viduels of s uch different backgrounds and beliefs th~ t the opportu nity for them to grow had to be offered. One hundred years ago the students of State High were made up of fanners and wealthy merchants. At that time students enjoyed the privilege of a formal education for the first time. ON£ LAST GLANCE by some would show that the only musical instrument that they ever saw was their grandfather's fiddle. This class of young ind1V1dualsactedas the embryo to the growing ideas that would come to shape State High. As the students leamed more, they took on many differe nt views. The formation of groups such as the Debate Team and choir emerged quickly. Organizations such as FBI.A and Senate~ took time to fonn as the ideas behind them grew. The myriad of dubs at the modem State High represented the interests of its diverse individuals. Regardless of when or with what magni· tude, all of the orgartizations today at State High began frum one place. With so many opportumbes, students were able to deode how and where they wanted to spend their time. Thi' State College community successfully developed a wide range of opportunities to occommodntc its future.

Tltroughouttheschool year, many motivated students strived for excellence in one ofState High' s choirs. BoththeConcertChoirand the Ninth Grade Choir called for vocally talented students to join togethe~ in musical harmony. The natural outflow of this harmony, energy, and motivation exemplified by these groups was exceptional. The Concert Choir began the school year with many high expecta lions and goals. TI1ey accomplished these goals through hard work and diligence, while maturing as a group in many ways. Senior Jody Wachob commented, ''Th~year in choir, we made a lot of improvements singing as a group andl as

also had the opportu nity to pa rticipate in district, regional, and AllStatc choruses. Kim BwÂˇkhard, Masl Osseo-Asare a nd many others excelled i!1 this prestigious ewmts. Not only was this an enriching learning experiellce, but also an experience which helped give confidence to the students. Much of U1e energy of U1e two State High choir.; came from their third year director, Ms. Jessica McNall. Senior Josh Rathmell commented, "Ms. McNall was a great leader.

Vocal Students relax and have fan while focusing on qualiry and technique by AmyGriel Whether technical or not, many find any type of singing enjoyable. Both the Madrigal Singers and the Choraliers sung not only for the tech· rucalandeducationalaspect,butalso to celebrate their love of music. Madrigal Singers was a select group of musicians 01atsang a vari· ety of very challenging music. Because auditions were required to become a member, the number of singers in the group was set, creat· Ing the most ideal of situations for balance. Since the Madrigals usually sang a cappell a, they lea med a great deal about the structure and the mechanics ofmusic. Senior Eamonn Farrell stated, "I have learned a lot about music through Madrigals. Tt has really been a great experience." Along with learning a great deal about music and the theories behind iL, students also learned a tremen· dous amount about themselves and their own ability to sing. By being a small group, Madrigal Singers aUowed for more one-on· one help in any area of need. With the open atmosphere and the will· ingness to help one another, many were able to grow and develop. "Singing in Madrigals thjs year not only gave me the opportunity to develop my own voice, but also gave me the experience of s inging w ith a small group," commented senior Sarah Thomas. Since the Madrigals SingerswassuchasmaUgroup,ead1

part of the group was !mport:aflt and necessary for Lhe success of the group. The Choraliers were a group of people who loved lo sing a wide variety of music. They used this love of music to guide their learning. Di· rector Mrs. Jessica Barth said of the group, "We just sing. Nothing technical. lt's just fun." By creating the music as a fun topic many grew to enjoy the act of singing even more. The main purpose and goa 1of the Choraliers was simply to get more people singing a.1\d involved with mu.sic. By making the tunes fun and singing such a wide variety of mu· sic, more students became interested as more of th.e ir likes became an· ' swered. TI1e lack of structure at times also allowed the students to let Ulings go • and do whatever they enjoyed. In the same respect, allowing the stu· dents to be a part of the decision of what to sing, kept them interested and assured that they would be pleased with what they were doing. Just as one can love singing for the growth of knowledge and the education that he receivesirom doing so, so can he love singing just for the love of singing. By doing what students want and making it fun at the same time, both the Madrigal Singers and the Q10raliers built and grew a love for the art of singing.

Playing jazz allows students to express themselves through their own style by Matthew Ascah Continuing as some of the State's top high school 1azz ensembles, the State High jazz Bands completed an oU1er prosperous year. The jazz program changed this yearwifu the Ninth and Tenth Grade Jazz Band becoming ) au Band II. Students of all clesses auditionlod for spots in the two groups and were placed accordingly by their ability. This allowed more musicians to have an experience wifu jllZz. With Mr. Richard Victor direct· ing. Jazz Band practic.iJ and per· formed many challenging pieces of music in preparation for n two-week summer European concert tour. The group challenged themselves with difficult tunes in a variety of styles These included the up-tempo swing of "Flight to Nassau," the fusion grooves of "Dangerous Precedent," and the melodic soothingness of "Stolen Moments."Senior trumpeter Matt Tums commented, "Jazz Band is really fun because the styles of music differ greatly from a tradi· tional band setting.• The newly revamped Jazz Sand IL directed by Mr. John Kovalchik, helped to provide more students with an excellent jazz expenence. A bop arrangement of "The Flintstones" and the ever-popular "On Broadway" were just a few of the many charts that were played. One importantcomponcnt of both groups was im prov isa ti on. Stud en to took c:hord changes and derived their own solos from them. TI1is Jllowcd the musician$ to put 111ore pers-011111

e><pression and feelmg mto the mu· sic. Seruor tenor saxophonist Matt Donovan said, "The opportunity to improvise is one tha t Treally appreciate. Creating my own musical ideas Is very exciting and liberating." Some s tuden ti; enjoyed the jazz experience for other reasons. Junior percussionist Phil Woodring com · mentcd, "Jazz Band is 0 11e of the few school groups w here T can play dnunsct, and it is really enjoyable." Freshman bassist Mike N iebauer said, "Unlike other groups, I can play electnc bass m Jazz band. Also. I like being a part of the rhythm section." Themusu:ians in the groups felt a special sense of camaraderie as well. Freshman alto saxophonist Jeff Zehngut said, •A lot of my friends are in Jazz Band, and we have a great lime. It's fun getting to know people throug)l music. The two Jazz Sands performed in a variety of festival and con=t situ· alionsindudingthe20thannua1State High Jazz Festival. During the week preceding tlus event, the musicians expanded their abilities through master classes held by singer Janet Lawson and her quintet. Also, the bands traveled to several festivals outside of Pennsylvania. Overall, the two jazz groups en· 1oyed their successful year and eagerly awaited U1cir European per· forn1ance~. By the end of the year, the musicians had a more extensive knowledge of Jazz music and each other.

"l was very enthusiastic throughout the year about working with these band.1.. They both have a lot of lillent; was Mr. Rid1ard Victor's reaction to directing this year's Symphonic and Concert Bands. Both of the bands perfonned in two concerts, one in the winter on December 6and theotherin thespnngon May 1. In addition to these two performances, the Symphonic Band and the Concert Band combined to give their musica I farewell to the senivrs during commencement in June. Throughout the year both bands prepared tirelessly for these performances during their practices twice a week. The Concert Band, which met on diff~rcnt days than the Symphonic Band, focused on refining basicmusici\I tedtniqu~and worked on more t~cally advanced mu· sic than the ninth and tenth gnode bands. Tara Tomashefski, the Concert B&J1d's secretary, commented, "We had a lot of experience this year and I felt that the sound of the band due to this experience was extraordinary." This year the Pennsylvania Music Educators Association delegated 1995-1996 as the year to get peopl<? singing more. Director Richard Victor set a goal not only to get the bands, but also the audience singing at every concert that the State College Music Department put on The Concert Band was the first group to

institute this tradition with their per formance of "On The Mall" in their winter concert Ad van<:W musicians, from grades ten through lwclve, performed in the Symphonic Band. This group worked on themosttechnicallychal· lengmg pieces of all the bands and elevated its level of play with extensive attention to tempo and other mus1caldetails. Rebecca Hade, a jun· ior trombone player for the Sym· phonlc6and, noted that"Symphonic Band was probably one of the most enioyable musical orgaru.zations that I participated m this year because of the fine quality of music we played." The high rnusicianshipand talent that the Symphonic Band held provided many opportunities for them to excel. Over twei1ty students from the Symphonic Band were sent to the District IV Band Festival, with many advancing to the Regional Festival, and a few lucky musicians to the All-State Band Festival. The members of the Symphonic Band also took their aru1ual spring trip, where they competed agai.n st many other fine bands &om the E.lst coast This year, due to being so well rehearsed, both the Concert Band and the Symphonic Band played ef· fortles;Jyin all of their perfonnanccs. Th~ concerts wcrecertamly musi· cal reflections of the quality and ex· oellence of s tudents and faculty found at State High.

Musical Groups provide a virtual springboard for the futures ofyoung musicians by Megan DeCrappeo '1 love the fact that you can gather musicians together, put them in the band room and come out with a masterpiece," commented sophomore Evil Marcotrigia no. Many stu· dents involved in Ninth and Tenth Grade Bands agreed wRh this sratemenl Some of these btudents had p layed Lheir instnunents since the fou rth grade, while others just began band in junior high. These varied levels of expertise provided opp<)rtunities for s tudents to improve on their skills. Not only through the direction of Mr. Richard Victor, the conductor, but also by the guidance of their peers, many were successful in makil1g <,uch musical advancemPnts. The types o r music performed by these two bands ranged from tradi· tional marches, such as #Military Escort; to upbeat jazzy pieces such as Dixieland Speclllcular," to selections from classical musicalssuchas West Sid~ Story. These dilfercnt styl11S of music gave student; a taste of the variety of music that was available to them. If a student wanted to s peda!Ue in one of these areas, he had the opporturuty to become im·olved with :vlarching Band, Symphoruc Band,Ja7.2. Bnnd,or Advanced Band. Tu be in Advanced Band, sLudents had toauditlonforSymphonicBand at the end of their ninth grade year Those that did participate in Ad-

vanced Band received a weighted grade for their hard work. Sophomore Eric San Julian also agreed and said, "I think Tc oth Gr.ade Band is good becau~e you get graded a nd credits for dotng something you really enioy, like playing drums ·• A long with learrung many musical skills, students also took on more responsibilities nnd improved their leadership skills if elected Into the position of president or secretary. The president of Ni11Lh Grade Band was Scott Cannon And the secretary was Jenni fer Ackerman. A ndy Lykens and Megan Deerapf"'O took on these roles in Tenth Grade Band. 111e students, elected by their classma tes, attended to the jobs LhAt Mr. Victor assigned. Like many other school activities, stud ents in band developed i.trong friendships which made playmg even better. Freshman Heather Recd commented, "Band is a great place to meet friends and new people.• Band wai. an enjoyable experi· ence that taught students not only how to play better music, but also to listen to others and to learn from one another. Sophomore Ian McClellan summed up the entire band experience by explaining, "l think ninth and tenthgradebandisa good cxpe· riPnce for all instrumentalists, both musically and socially becau.se we get to meet new people and friends and play music at the same Lime.#

r(..>sponsibility of the Dru.o\ Mnjor.

Drum Major Jami Meteer de· scribed the Marching Band season in one word, "growth." She decided that this word was \he best deso·iptor because, "Whetheritoccuxs during one ten minute half time show or four years of practice, each member of Ma rchillg Band experiel\ccs growth either musically, intellectually or emotionally." Certainly all of the elemel\ts of work fil into the rehearsals of Ma rching Band. Summer practices, which lasted from nine in the morning until noon, required a lot of dedication and a lotofendurance. 0th-er than the heat, Marching Band oilered challenges not always acknowledged. fo r example,Hilary Gittings said, "Getting to know everybody was a definite challenge." Shecon.tinued by saying, "There are so many people in Marching Band and \he season only lasts for a short time." The friendships that devel· oped throughout the Marchingt!and season proved to stand not only the test of time, bu t also the bridge of ages and gl'ades. While gaining new friends, stu • dents also used the time lo improve themselves musically. Junior Phil Woodring exclaimed, "The thing T like most about Marching Band is the guarantee thatTget to p lay drums at least three times a week." The camaraderie of the students helped improve the music as well as the

marching, if used appropriately. As a resuJ t of the first day of freshmen orientation, many fe lt that to play a musical instrument and march a t the same Umc was Impossible. By the end of A ugusl, many realized that the beats of the music actual ly aided them in hitting their spots at the right times. The time passed quickly and exhilarating shows reminded seniors that graduation was ahead, and they would soon have to leave the ''band family'' that they had been a part of for four years. Members caught as many memories as possible 10 tuck away in their minds forever. Freshman Alistair J<erlin remembered his first impression of Marching Band, "lt was a lot of fun 'cause l had a lol of friends and it wasn't as hard as Tthought it was going to be ... it is still a lot of work."

Those challenging times that Lested the band succeeded in making the group stronger. Jami Mcteer concluded that "Instru mental ists, band front, managers and directors came together only when we realized that we m ust give and receive suggestions, ideas and compassion. Interaction opened our minds and encouraged us to invite change in when it was necessary, and therefore, allowed us to grow." The many lessons lea rned in Marching Band promised to last past the four years of high school.

Spirited Students showcase their talent through performances by Becky Pillar Hard work i\nd diligence com· prised the season for the majorettes and the Drill Team. Both undertook many new challenges, such as new shows and new friendships. These elementS made the season spectaru· lar imd memorable for each student From the long warm August mornings to the cool ~nd crisp evenings of October, one COltld find the State High Majorcttcs diligently drilling their routines for the upcoming footb."lll game's halftime show . .Ma· joreues practiced with the Marching Sand for three weeks in August; and on~ the school year began, they shifted to Monday and Wednesday eveningl>. The majorettes also held extra practices on Tuesdays and TI1ursdays. Beside weekday practices, members of thesquad also pl1lcticed on their own on weekends to work on complicnled routines and n1aneuvt:rs. Under the leadership of Coach Lisa Peters, Kimberly Zimmer, co· captains Raelene Weaver , Kathyrn Walk and senior Kelly Cowher, the Majorettes enjoyed a season of dial· lenging new routines and creative choreography. The '!(fUad asa whole was able to perform more difficult twirling than in previous years and often worked additional equipment, besides batons, mto the performances. Forcxamplc, lhc Majorettes incorporated newly purchased swing flags. which created a more

fluid effect for softer songs, and hoops with shiny nbbons, for use \VJth more upbeat melodies. Practidngaflcrschool, the Drill Team accomplished a lot and formed many new friendships In the process. l.cd by advisor Mrs. Suzanne Jury and former mem· bers, the squad performed more advanced steps and challenged thern..'*llves to achieve the i;oa ls whtch they had set at the beg.n· ning of the yc01r. The Drill Tl'am made various appearances throughout the year They began by participating in the Homecoming Parade, as they rode a fire truck and cheered on along \\~th the crowd that passed by. They also performed at various pep rallies and danC't's as the school year progressed. Even tl1ough the m21jorettes and thto Drill Team worked diligently throughout practices, they still found time lo develop strong bonds offriendship. Without the support and laughter of others, no major accomplishments would have been made. Theyearoffered the Drill Team and the MaJOrettes the chance to improve themselves crcath•ely and socially. 8y working efficiently during practices, and trying thcir hardest, they were able to perfect a II of their performances for the year.

Although diverse in form, both the Renaissance Steering Commlttee and the Sil ks had an equally successful and e njoyable years. "Here ye, here ye.This meeting of U1e Renaissance Steering Commlttee will now come t<) o rder," spake President Sylvia Thompson. For a moment there was the rustling of papers, but then silence. The pa use wasalmostimmediatelyinterrupted as ideas and schedules were Uuown o ut a l the committee. Working together the students discussed possibilities for the upcoming Faire in May. Th e co m m ittee, u nofficially known -as The Knights of the Ren Table, met once a week to plan and create the third annual Stat« College Area Renaissa.n ce Faire. Once posi· lions had been decided, rehearsals, construction, and era ft sessions commenced . The weekly meetings became coordinating sessions to ensure that each aspect of the Faire would flow into the next. This need for communication enh anced the steerin g: commlttee members' abil· ity to ex:press ideas clearly. "The c:amarader ie is great!" said sophomore Herschel Tubbs. Although lhemcelinb'S were not w ithouttheir laughs, a high level of business was main· tained ." Truoughoutthemeetings it was stressed that the purpose of the Faire was to educate high school students about the Renaissance.

"When you get students involved in living history, it Is one of the best ways to learn." commented a d visor Mrs. Julie Gittingg. As the meeting came to an end, the knights, freshly laden with tasks, rose from the table to bring their vis ion of the p ast a step closer to reality. Along w ith the Ren faire, the Silks also helped bring school spirit to State High. Both groups d isplayed confidence and dedication in trying to get the students more pumped up. This g roup began their training August under the direction of Ms. Lisa Narehood. Through their decli<'.ation this group was able Lo use their talent and showcase them du.r· ing halftime at the State High football gan1es. Nol only did U1ey perform but they also boosted the morale of the players by their booming cheering. Though Uus squad usually had tryouts, d ue to the lack of interest this year they were fortu· na te. enough to accept everyone. However, next year they are hoping for a larger squad. The captains this year were Jen Dry and Dawn !larger. They helped the season run smoothly and lead to a successful year. '1 had fun being a captain this yeM. l think that all the hard work really paid off for our squad," commented Jen Dry. School spirit was present every· where. at State High, but U1e Ren Faire and Silks helped tobringitout. By their efforts, they made State High a more enthusiastic school!

Energetic Students raise school spirit and awareness through fund-raisers and activities

-by David Crandall and Amy Griel Wilh lhe siart of a new S<:hool year al&o came the begmning of a successful year for both the fresh· men and sophomore class Senates. Through dedication and hard work, the Senates succeeded in creating spirit thot U\ey spread throughout the entire school. Although not as experienced as the other Senates, strong leadership and dedication led the Freshman Senate to bi?come just as successful as the other clilSScs. Led by President Venkate~h Varadan, Vice Pres•· dent Scott Cannon, Treasurer Katie Stoltz, and Sccrctary Lane Hagen, the Freshman Senat;o was able to accomphsh much of what it set out to do. One of its first activities entailed selling candy to benefit those ailing from diseases. Believing that it rep· resented a good cause, the Senate tried to promote freshm~n partid· pntion in the school's Dance Mara· thon. The Senate a lso organized a spring dance, and built a float lo represent the class 1.11 the Homecoming Pamde. Hoping to be able to plan more activities as sophomores, the class ratsedSlOOOtosponsormoredances and a class trip next year. Vankatesh Veradan explained that the class is hoping to continue its work next year. "We've worked really hard this year, but we still need to reach our goals."

The xnain idea of both Student Government and the Student Advi· sory Com mittee or SAC was repre· senting the student body. The mem· bers of Student Government strived to expand the reahn of the organiza· tions responsibility. SAC is a student -run advisory group for the school l>oard. Th.is year's Student Government attempted to tum itsmainfocusfrom student-only issues to school, commu nity, and evendistrict-\videproblems. In order to achieve this goal, they attempted to increase the representa tion for studen ts on the school council and open the lines of conununication between them and the school board. Although both of these goals were approached with optimism problems loomed in the way. Some new ideas for Student Goverrunent included trying to set up a system where by lhe organization sent out voter registrations to those students turning eighteen and then se1\d the forms in for them. The Covemmentsponsored two forums, one topic w.as diversity and tolerance. 111ey also set up a fw1d that allowed Student Government to give money to clubs that petition for them. In addition to all of this, they also sponsored a food drive and talent show. Like Student Government, SAC shared a common goal to create a cohesive student representation with

greater communication to the administration and school board. The Student Government also sent two ofitsmembers to SAC meetings with voting privileges. They also attempted to increase the student representation on SAC from one lo four from each grade. SACcomposedofstudentsreprescnting almost every faucet of the school population. The SAC advises the school board on issues of mutual concern. Some of U1ese issues included the development of a new ltmch system which aided by a sur· vey regarding thecafcteria. The SAC was willing to tackle most any issue and was always open to suggestions. To work toward total representation, members included students from a variety of groups and from all grades. This yea.r SAC asked the school board ofdirectors to change its membership to include members of Student Government. SAC's lwomajor officers were Chairperson Xavier T. Fulbright and Secretary Meggie Crnic. TI1e officers attended school board meetings once a month. The entire committee met once or twice a monU1 U1roughout the year. for the studen t population, it was comforting to know that there were two organizations with.in the school that represented them and were comprised of all different sections of such n diverse school.

Students went to Washington, D.C. to employ tactics such as caucusing and debating After lengthy preparations and morning meetings, State High members journeyed 10 D.C. for the conference where they represented the nation of Uruguay Led by Mr. Paul Vencziale and Mrs.SU1>anBickford,theMOASteam consisted of ten members. Five commiltces werc crca lcd with each member taking a different topic. Topics included economic and social matters, education, science, cuhure, and judicial and political mnttf>rs. Two days of the conference were filled wllh grueling committee sessions, in which members tried to gain support for and pa•• their resolutions, or bills. But there were several social aspects to lhe conference as well, including a formal gala. Junior Dan Kopp remarked, '1t was fun meeting with other kids from across the nation in such a highly sophisticated setting."

TI1e lnternatio11al Relations Club (ffiC)alsoendeavored intotheworld of international politics. Students met weekly to discuss and deba te politics, as well as to make preparations for its spring trip.

This ye•.r,stud ents planned a trip to Ottawa so they could discuss the Quebecnation'11ist movement. A few years ago, students had tm veled to Quebec to discuss the same issue. But since the vote for independence was extremely close in 1995, members decided that tlus was the ideal time to learn and undcrst.md more about the problem.

Caring Students lend a helping hand to those in need by Stacey Williams According to Webster's Dictionary, "help" is defined as, "to aid orassist; to change for the better; to improve." Two organizations in the school worked to exemplify this defi1>ition: Peer Lis~eners and Understanding Others. They both strove to make State College High a better leami1>g e.nvironn1ent. Operating through both the North a1>d the South Counseling Offices, Peer Listeners consisted of ded icated a.nd loving students in al l four grades. These students dedicated theif time to helping the student body. Peers were available to listen and talk to students at any time. Junfor Kirsten Grigor commented,

Caring Students volunteer their time to counsel and benefit others by Hannah Bailor-Hooven, Danaca Clark a nd Stacy Williams Students do make a difference! MembersofKEYQub, Youth For A Change, and Peer Mediators have demonstrated at State High. These students have helped make the sd1ool a better place. Youth For A 01ange (YFC), advised by Mrs. Jill CalllpbeU, was a group of Student Coordinators who organized student volunteer activities throughout the school district. This organization was established several years ago when the Continuing Education Department cut back on the time for the Volunteer inPublic Schools program. The dub began modestly, but grew a lot over the years because of the efforts of student volunteers. YFC organized many events and activities, including the National Day ofGivingand the Giving Tree, whid\ benefited the Shoe Bank, the Women's Resource Center, Stormbreak, and Center House. The group also organized Youth Service Day, on which dozens of students helped with volunteer activities around the region. "Advising the dub has been worth it because J've learned a lot," remarked Mrs. Campbell Peer Mediators was another organization that benefited the sdlool. Though this was only the second year of Utis program, Peer Mediators made a significant impact on the school. After participating in a training period, Peer Mediators helped

other students solve conflicts u1 constructive ways. They also talked to elementary schools to teach them how to resolve conflicts. The Peer Mediators met weekly with advisors Mr. Dave Lhntal and Mrs. Karen Stoehr. The advisors planned acth<ities to help improve Peer Mediators' sensitivity. For example, they attended a c0<nfercnce in Harrisburg. "l'm glad that I'm part of the Peer Media lion program because l know that I'm helping people I know resolve problems and promote a better sd100J environment," commented Mike Conti. Throughouttheworld,KEYQubs made a differe11ce by brightening their community with warm spirits, and smiles. TI1eState High KEY Club exempillied this definition. The KEY Club was heavily involved in many service projects Uuoughout the duration of t11e year. It organized the annual All-Night Volleyball Tournament to raise money to fight domestic violence. Theclubalsohelped the American Diabetes Association by hosting the Kiss A Pig Contest and the Great Skate of Pennsylvania. Serving the KEY Oub this year included President Hannah BailorHooven, Vice President Annie Cucuel, Secretary Nru1 Rozelle, ru1d Treasurer Danaca Oark. The Key Club, Youth For A Change, ru1d Peer Medfators helped make a difference at State H igh.

Two different forms of art, the literary and the pure form were greatly explored by the members of Acchv1ty and of the Fine Arts Oub.

This year the project which consumed much of the Fine Arts C lub's time was the painting of a Centennial Pig Mural in downtown State College. TI1eir plan was to showcase the State College Centenrual, while raising the community's consciousness of the first one hundred years. The finished product of the mural was planned to contain one hundred hand-drawn p igs, oet against various State College scenes.

MoU1cr successful and enriching year. Acclivity, the school's literary magazine, took on a tremendous new challenge. In previous yean; the staff met from September through June, reading, analyzing, and searching for lhe Hems of their one and only issue. This year the Acclivity staff put in many more hours in an effort lo produce two issues for the school to enjoy. The oddition of the second Acclivity magazineallO\-'ed for more students to have their work!> published, a.i well as an opportunity for the yoiITTger members of the student populatlo1l lo enhance their writing skills and to hopefully make the second cut for publication. Accln1ily was unique in that it pulled various fonns of art from all grades m the school to compile the magazine. With such a high quality of work received, the s taff had a very hard time selecting wluch submiss10ns to use. Once they selected lhe pieces, much of the work was leO up to the layout staff to place the selections, and to theeditorialstaff toedh the works for publication. Through hard work and dedication, both the members of Ule Fine Arts Oub and Ulc Acclivily staff experienced o great deal of suc~s. As with many of the other tlungs they did in !ugh school, both of these clubs added to theirstudiesand took their learning an extra step forward

Members of lhe Vocational lndustria!Clubof America(\ITCA}and the Cooperative Work Experience program had a chance to get a taste of careers i.u the real world. These students gained experience by parlicipating in various hands-on programs, much like ones rhey would face in their futures. VlCA offered many students the d1ance to excel in the field whid1 they were going to pursue in li fe. Talenled advisor Mrs. Robyn Verbeck <lid a great dea l to aid students and prepare them for their regional competition. For exceptional students, these competitions could continue beyond a regional level and reach the state or even national 'level. Students began their journey of hard work al the very begirn1ing of the )'ear, preparing for the competi· ti on that was held in February. From thal first competition, the competitors continued thei r path of success, buildi.ug on completions from previous years. VJCA members have a lso influenced State High as well as the community. VICA members showed their school spirit by enteri ng a float in the 1-lomecomingParade. Following lhe theme of U1e parade, U1ey centered around the Centennial; in particular, they dealt with education over the years. TI1eir hours of hard work paid off when the \/!CA

float won first place in the float contest. VTCA students could also be seen helping ou t in various service organizations around the comm unity. For example, V!CAhclped wiU1 the food ba nk to keep it running smootltly. Their community service showed thelr dedicatio11 toStateCollege. VICA taught its members a variety of job skills in the high school dasswom environment. TI1e Work Experience program, on the oilier hand, taught students by giving them hands-on experience outside of the school. These students had the opportunity to work in businesses in their field of interest. Here they were exposed to life situations, including dealing with the stress of managing both their job as well as lheirsd10ol· work. Local businesses welcomed these eagerly willing to work students. To repay these organizations for their kindness,a banquet\'lfllS held in their honor at the end of the year. This Intended to show the students' appreciation for the businesses' contri· butions to their lives. Around 250 guests attended the annual event this year. Students gained a chance to earn skills valuable to life. By the added experience that the job world en· tailed, students involved in VICA and Work Experience were prepared for what lay a head after high school.

He.re students had hands-on experiences in U1eir desired fields of interest. Future Farmers of America was a youth orgamzation where students who were enrolled ln Agricultural Education practiced leadership and occupabonal skills that would lead to satisfying careers ln agriculture and related fields. The FFA members went on numerous field tnps, including livestock, horse judging, land and turf management, agronomy, forestry, public speaking, horticulture, safe tractor driving cnntesl~. and State and National Conventions. Other activities of the ycarlnduded theannuol Cib路ussale, the Donkey Basketball annual charity event, set>d !!a les, Parliamentary Procedure contest, Wildlife contest, and the Centre County Envirothon. At the annual Pennsylvania Fann Show, three students received the Keystone Ocgrcc.1 he Square Dancers prepared to compete in the Folk Dance competition. During FFA week, students m,1de gourmet hamburgers for faculty and staff. All FfA events were p lanned in conjunction with the advisory committeeoflocal

agricultural busme-;s leaders. Throughout the year, the members of the Future Business Leaders of America participated in many activities, ranging from commuruty service projects to Regional, State, and National Competitions. Members entered 11 float in the T-tomecoming parade, answ<?red phones for WPSX, walked for Lhe American Diabetes Association, sold Christ路 mas stockings. and conducted workshops for the public ;it Easter Seals. The State Colll!ge Chapl"r ho~ted the 1996 Regional compeblton. Some students even qualiflcd for the State Competition at Seven Springs in April. Another club that prepared students forfutureoccupations was the Auto Club. This helped st~1dents increase their knowledge of mechanics, while having n good lime. The Auto Club provided the opportunity for students to work on their own cars or a project to complete minor repairs or maintenance. Stu.-

dents competed m school-wide activities, had guest demonstrations, and attended field trips where the students learned about a u tomobile repair,drivingoroperabon.

L<we for the extravagant and the outdoors brought students together to concoct mouth-watering masterpieces and celebrate the wonders of the environment. Chc!'s Oub, Out· ing Club, and Ski Oub all had an exciting and fun year. Chef's Club was open 10 any Stu· dent In the school who showed ,, desire !oleammoreaboutfoodsthan what was taught in the average baking class. Theamateurchefscxpcri· menlcd with a variety of recipes or different kinds after school on Mon· day afternoons. Mr. Raymond Wllliams, theChefsClubadvisor,helped the students become more cultu rally area by inb'Od ucing rccipes from diffurentethicaJand national groups. Several types of foods that were prepared included gourmet, Italian, Mexican and several other groups. Chef's Club heightened students intl'rest in food, as well as their ethical alvareness. Ou ting Club was provided s tud~nts with achancctoh:tvea hands· on experience with the outdoors. With Mr. John Donoughe as the advi'lOr, Outing Oub's main focus was on the planning of several outdoor adventures. Students planned a variety of l:rips such 3S extensive hiking adventu res, canoe excursions and skiing. These were but a few of the many numerous activities that kept the members or Outing Oub busy. At their occasional meetings,

Outulg Club Invited several guest lecturers to speak on topics such as safety and cons~rvn ti on. Members 11f Outing Oub developed many new safety skills along with anew appreciation for the environment which i.urrounds them. Ski Oub was another organizational group which focused on the loveof theoutdoors. Students, when wl'ather permilling, traveled up to Tussey Mountain after school to enjoy an afternoon of skiing and relilxation. 11\ough Tussey was not a major ski resort, i l did offer seven trails for all skiin1; levels. The begin· ner could learn the basics on the Bunny Hill and the more expen· encedathletecould take a risk on the most challenging slope, the Utah. "Ski Club gave me the chance to socialize with my friendsa!terschooJ and ski at the same time. It was great!," commented junior Suzi Kilareski. Sh1dents, through Ski Club, improved upon their athletic ~bil i ties as well as developing and strengthening fri~ndships. No matter what the interest. students were able to find a dub that conformed to their interests. Chef's Oub, Outing Club, and Ski Club were such groups. Students who sought kl'towleclge in nonl:radillonal foods, the environment, and winter athletics were able to enhance their knowledge and develop slrong friendships simultaneously.

Knowledge Seekers prepare intensely for rigorous competitions by Denise Hintosh and Josh Rathmell Science Olympiad/ I-SA, and Academic Decathlon expanded their horizons through compditlons. Every 'lllonday after school, tenth, eleventh, and twelfth grade members of Science Olympiad met and prepared for the upcoming science competitions. Students tried out for a spccHk event in the hopes of making the school's competitive team. Some students chose a knowledge event, in which the student studied for a te>t on a particular sacntific discipline, such as Meteorology or the metric system. Other students competed in hands-on competition wherestt1dentsenginec1-cd nnd built spcc:lfi()(! devices such as mouse trappowered vehicles, balsa wood bndges, and super-high towers. After winning a place on the State High team, Science Olympians competed al the Regional competition, held in March, and U1c State C<)mpetition as well. Like Science Olympiad, the Technology Student Association (TSA) also participated in regional, state, and national competitions. Students in the club worked to learn about the use of the very latest in wchnology. Students used the school's hi-tech CADO lab to explore multimedia, robotics, and networking technology. Working closely with the BeU Grant Technology Proiect, TSA helped develop the school's World Wide Web system and promoted the

use of the new fiber optic network. Academic Decathlon a lso participated in an intense competition, was compri>ed of seven tests, a speech, an mterv1ew, and an essay a ll in just two days. Nine people constituted a team f'or competition. There were three competitive levels based on grade point average; in each level, Uvee students from each team com peted. This brought out dlversity in the team as many team members attested. "Academic Oeca thlon is unique since 1t involves all strata of the student population," said junior Termyson Liu. Each eventwasscored on a sea le of zero to one thousand points. The top two cumulative scores of team members m eachdwision count toward the team's score. Academic Decathletes prepared for competition in a variety of ways. Studying was essential. for most team members were not exp erts on all of the topics. The events were Language and Literature,Mathematics, Social Science, Economics, Sci· ence,Fine Arts, Super Quiz, Speech, interview, and Essay. This year, competitors had to leamaboutthe United Nations, TheOdysscy,envir.onmental science, nnd several other speci flc subjects. Toking samp le tests was another important study method. The variety of topics in Science Olympiad, TSA, and Academic Decathlon challenged parbapants to broaden their horizons.

Anticipation with the question of speed and just a touchofuncertainty rarely failed to keep an abn osphere Ii vclyan d full of energy for students. Odyssey of the Mind and Know!· edge Masters contained just tha t in their competitions and practices. Odyssey of the Mind (0Ml required five to seven students on a team to solve assorted problems. Spontaneous problems included verba I and hands-on questions, such as listing a.s many words as possible that con Lain the word blue. "Lt' shard to think quickly for spontnneous problems," Geetha Venkatacha lam commented. Long-tern' problems included inventing cars that traveled over obstacles and popped balloon targets. Though OM incorporated knowledge and teamwork, co-advisors Mrs. Debra Everhart and Mr. Todd Ramsey stressed.creativity thet:nost. Anitha Padala summed up the object of the organization by stating, "I enjoy spending time with other people and usiJlg their ideas and mine to find a creative way to solve problems." Knowledge Masters (KM) in· vo)ved a quiz-bowl forma t in which advisors Mrs. Julie Gittings, Mrs. Carol Ann Gentry, and Ms. Deborah Wells asked questions on an ything from sports history to literature to politics. Many competitions throughout

the year kept KM members busy. These included two K.M Opens, na· tional computer-based competitions that involved approximately 2000 high schools and from which offi· dais decided who to invite to the Panasonic Tournament in Florida, and contests at Penn State and W illiam Tennett. KM members also experienced QuizNet, an on-line com· petition against other schools around lhe country for the first time. Most encou ntered minimal stress, but since speed played a large role, typist Daniel Burrowss.,id, "Itwashard because l had to type really quickly and l kept making mistakes." Most members found the club challenging and a good way to learn outsideofschool. "Therearesomany questions you don't know answers lo,'' David Keddie explained. Mike C his wick-Patters0J1stated with con· fidence, '1t provides a great outlet for my aggression and desire to win," proving others joined for different reasons. Overall, both clubs providedstu· dents with confidence and a chance to act on their quick thi nking. Though based on creativity and miscella· neous fact, many found bolh of these dubs a challenge to their abilities. Although difficult at times, the support from teammates during both competitionsandpractices, made the experience of being in the club both fUJl and exciting.

Knowledge Masters & Odyssey: of the Mind

Curious Scholars employ mathematics, science, and logic to have fun by David Crandi\11 Although State High offered a wide variety or math and science a>urscs, students sometimes wanted toexplore&0meofthedetailsofthese subjects that the curriculum did not include. Students fascinated with mathematics and science joined Math Club, Chemistry Club, and Chess Club. Meeting every Tue~day after school, Math Club c11tered to both the sod.ii and intellectual side of its members. Math Club us ually began with pretzels, cookies, and soda as students Informally discussed math prublems and puule, they had found.

Expla i11ing her u ncertainty, sophomore Meredith Miller said, "Before I learned to play chess-even though I'm 1\0t very good now-T thought th11t chess was a nerdy game Now l've leamed that everyone can enjoy chess, even extreme right-brains like me.H For students who thought math and science could be a lot of fun, Math Club, Chemistry Oub, and Chess Club offered a break from the rigidity of classroom lectures These clubs allowed these subjects to become competitive, exciting, and enjoyable-aU at the same time.

The Presidential campaign drastically increased in intensity as November 1996 approached. For the first time in 40 years, the new president wou ld enter office with a Republican-ruled Congress. When all was said and done, there were ten men hoping to run against Bill Clinton, unchallenged Democratic nominee. These were Lamar Alexander, Pat Buchanan, Bob Dole, Robert Doman, Steve Forbes, Phil Gramm, Alan Keyes, Dick Lugar, Arlen Specter, and Morry Taylor. Ru11ning for offices of power was nothing new for Dole, who had rui:i for vice president in 1976, and for president in the prima.ries in 1980 and 1988. If elected, he would be 73 years o ld when he entered office, older than any other newly-elected president. On a different note, some of the candidates for the Republk-an nomination were eliminated before the race even began. Whi le lack of fW1ds caused Specter to drop out of the race before any primaries or caucuses, California Governor Pete Wilson had a d ifferent problem of being too moderate for the taste of the general population. In February, the Iowa caucus and New Hampshire primary led U1e way in determining which Republican hopeful would gain the party's nom ina tion. The Iowa caucus resulted in a win for Bob Dole, second place for Pat Buchanan, and a U1ird place showing for Lamar Alexander. Phil Granun's fifth place finish convinced him to drop out o f the running. Also in February, lhe eight men that remained in the race debated each 0U1er in New Hampshire. The election saw something unheard of i.11 the Republican party: negative campaigning. Often known as the eleventh commandment of the Republican party, negative campaigning has often been taboo. Political newcomer Steven Forbes started the ball rolling with ads a ttacking front runner Dole's campaign. Dole responded with equally unflattering remarks, which caused the fight to escala te. Soon after, Buchanan joined in the mudslinging, adding to an already tense situation. The tactic met with negative responses, but seemed to produced the intended results: Dole did not achieve the predicted landslide in Iowa. In late Febn1ary 1996, the favorites of the eight cancLidates to win the nomination were Dole, Buchanan, and Alexander. ~Kirsten

Questions concerning national policies and human rights In China have been In the foreground of most current events discussions throughout the p.lst year. The two main issues were the release of human rights activi,-i Harry Wu and the United Nation's Women's Conference. Throngs of cheering people gave human rights activist Harry Wu a hero's welcome after he stepped off the plane at San Francisco lnternationo.I Airport on August 24, 1995; dozens surrounded his wife, Chrng·Lee, with signs, ro.es, and yellow ribbons. Wu returned to J\mcl"ican soil after being imprisoned in China for sixty·six dnys. The Clunese government convicted him on charges of stealing state secrets, after they had taken him Into custody on June 19th while he was attempt· ing to enter China at a remote border crossing. They also sentenced him to fifteen years In pr1SOn; however, they released and deported him In an apparent attempt to improve delic.ltc race relations between the United States and China. Wu's trip was one of M<veral clandestine treks he had made since 1991 for the purp~ of researclung and filming evidence of abuses In China's prison labor camps. His efforts resulted In internationally renowned lelcvision documentaries. Amidst the excitement of hls homecoming, the United Nations was preparing for the Fourth World Conference (>n Women. First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton's Cirst visit to China was certainly a memorable OllC, for both herself and the rest of the world. She delivered her speech on human rights and freedom of expression for both genders on September 5, 1995. The Chinese government gave her ample grounds for her sptteh, after it denied visas and full p.uticipation In the conference to many woman who registered to participate; the act was, in her words, "mdefensible.H Mrs. Clinton surpnsed her audlence and the host nation by rebuking Bei)tng for its treatment of private activists, who said they were harassed by authorities dunng a parallel forum held in Huairou, China, just thirty miles away. China and the United States continue to struggle to come to an u1\derstanding concerning the proper and hu rnanc treatment of the citizens of both of these counll'ies.

0 .J. Simpson Trial comes to a conclusion

The O.J. Simpson trial was a pwminent event in 1995. The event dominated media in all forms, including TV in the forms of news and infomercials, and the lntemet with several Web Sites. The ordeal began when lhe Los Angles pvlice arrested the former football star and prontinent HoJJywood actvr for the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown (formerly Simp~vn), and her fnend Ronald Goldman on June 12, 1994. The arrest came after the famous chase scene, with Simpson in the white Bronco. This began an event which forced itself into every nook and cranny of American life, and lasted for over a year. Judge Lance Ito did his best to prevent U1e trial from b.?coming a real life soap opera, but he was largely unsuccessful. TI1e multimillion doJJar defense team featured Cocluan al\d Shapiro clawing at eacll other's throats for dominance. The prosecution had its set backs also. BUJ\glcd lab examioations and Los AJ\gles Police Detective Mark Fuhrman lyiog under oath about racial slurs racked them with problems. lrl addition to thjs, the defense had the coveted DNA tests declared cnadmissible, and the much lauded "bloody gloves" did J10t fit Mr. Simpson. This may have been due to shrinkage to being covered in blovd, but this coupled with tile Keystone Cops-like al\tics vf the LAPD were enough to create the s hadow of a doubt that produced the not-guilty verdict. After 133 days of testimony; and over 800 pieces of evidence, the jury took less than four hours to deliver theiJ· verdict. Following which, the thankful Simpson declared he would ded icate his life to the searcll for his ex-wife's killers. Claims that Simpson had previously abused and threatened Browl\ prompted her family to sue the almost bankrupt Simpson. Several months a~e.r the end of the trial, Simpson was s till refusing to give interviews. To help raise money to fund his losses that were caused by the trial, Simpson sold a video tape explaining his side of the story. Despite widespread cyrticism from the bulk of the American population, the tri.al may well go down in the history of pop culture as the trial of the century.

Mickey Mantle was one of U1e greatest baseball players who ever lived. He entered ilie Major League in 1951, six months shy of his twentietl1 birthday. He continued playing until after the 1968 season at the age of thirty· seven. Dw·ing his career, he inspired not only many fans and young aspiring baseball players, but also his peers and teammates. Billy Gardener, one of Mantle's teammates, remarked, "Whal l admired about him was he was always on the top step of the dugout gethng ilie other guys going.n Alter a long bout with alcoholism that l~ted most of his life, Mantle vowed to tum his life around. He spent lus last years preaching the dangers of excessive drink· ing. Mic.key Mantle died of a quick-spreading liver cancer on October 15, 1995, at the age of 63. His death followed a liver transplant that he had gone through only two months before.

The 1995-96 school year saw a plethora of remarkable weather phenomena. These included severe temper;iture fluctuations, heavy precipitation, and numerous !Topical systell'IS. The frequent temperature changes in 1995 and 1996 were the worst the U.S. had seen in yca1'S. ln February 1995, the Midwest was gripped by a cold spell which caused the temperahu'e in Montana to reach twenty below zc.ro. Just four months later, International Palls, Minnesota, reached 100 degrees for the first hme In Its history. ln Nebraska, temperatures soared to 110 degrnes, and b1 Yuma, Arizona, crested at 124 degrees. Death Valley, Ca li fornia, had the hottest temperature in the nation at 127 degrees. Along with the heat came thl' deluge. ln early 1995, the Eas t was bombaxded with severe rains that caused flash flooding. Throughout the year, California was saturated with ram, making the already waterlogged state even soggier. Meanwhile, m Colorado, snow attacked the mountains, leaving a blanket of up to three feet in some places. In the Midwest, on three di!ferent occasions, severe thunder· stonns produced baseball-size hail. New Orleans had a record twenty-one inches of rain during May, while other pie ins states received bctwcc11 ten and fifteen Inches of their own. June ushered in the tropical weather season by bringing a long string of s tom1s that approached the record of twcnty· three nan1ed storms in one season. In August, Hurricane Erin made two landfalls 111 l'lorida, drenching some areas with ten ind1es of rain, bombarding the coast with 100 mile an hour winds, and causing widespread damage. Later that month, Tropical Storm Humberto, I lurricanc Iris, Tropical Storm Jerry, and Tropical Storm Karen appeared simultaneously on the same S.'.ltcllite image. was the first rune since 19n tl1at four tropical weather systems were in the Atlantic at the some time. In October, the tlurd-costllest storm in U.S. lustory, Hurricane Opal, slammed into the U.S. and caused catastrophic damage. T ropical Stonn Pablo, Hurricane Roxanne, Tropical Storm Sebasti en, and Hurricane Tany• rounded out one of the most active and dwas tating tropical weather seasons in history.

Dead headed Jerry Garcia, the leader of the Grateful Dead, died on August9, 1995. The guitarist and singer suffered a heart attdck while in a drug rehabilitation center in suburban San Francisco, just eight days after his 53rd birthday. Deadheads, as the group's followers were often known, quickly gathered in many cities to mourn their Joss. Jn New York, the fans defied a ban on a memorial gathering in Central park and con· verged on the grassy lawn situated near the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Park enforcement officers ordered the mourners to either stop playingJheir oongos, drums or guitars, or move to a different area of the park. The Grateful Dead blended rock, bluegrass, and folk flavors into their own sound. Although studio recordings by the group were rare, the most receot was in 1989, the Grateful Dead remained a \'ety popular concert attraction.

The quest for peace between Israel and lhe Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) made a significant stride forward when Yitzhak Rabin, Prime Minjster of Israel, and Vasser Arafat, leader of the PLO, met at the White House on September 28, 1995, to sign an accord that would fay tlle foundation for a Palestinian state. However, the assassination of Rabin in Nove.mber by a right-wing 1sraeli extremist greatly undermined the peace efforts, leaving the prospects of peace in the Middle East undecided . A year and a half of intense negotiations following the peace accord between the two nations in 1993 led to what Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres called Ha historic ch(>ice, a moral choice, an extended hand to the futw路e." The agreement would expand Palestinian sclf-rulc in the Israeli-occupied West Bank beyond Gaza and Jericho; lsro.eli troops were to be withdrawn from Palestinian towns by the end of the year; and 12,000 Palestinian police would be deployed in the West Bank. Issues such as the presence of Israeli citizens in the town of Hebron and the imprisonment of 5,000 Palestinians in Israel thr.?atened to u ndermine the fragile cooperation between the two nations. HoweveI, by September 24, Peres and Arafat had agreed on a 400-page peace accord that Rabin and Arafat formally signed at the White House on September 26. The peace process received a huge setback on November 4, when a 25-year-old Jewish law student assassinated Rabin after a peace really in Tel Aviv's King Square. Security agents rushed Rabin to a nearby hospital where he died during surgery. Police immediately arrested Ami r, who later said,"! acted alone on God's orders and I have no regrets." Amir feared that Rabin was betraying Israel to the Arabs; his sentiments were reflective of growing right-wing resentment to the peace process. Despite the Jewish custom of burying the dead with.in one day, officials delayed Rabin's funeral until the following Monday to allow foreign leaders to attend. Ptesidcnl Ointon, who called Rabin a "martyr for his nation's peace," attended the funeral. Arafat said he was "very sad and very shocked for this awful crime. I hope that we will have the ability, the Israelis and the l>aJestinians, to overcome this tragedy." -Wayne Mill<r

Miss Oklahoma, Shawntel Smith, received a particularly unusual birlhday gifr. the Miss America crown. Also on September 16th, 1995, Smith's birthday. another issue was resolved: keeping with a 75 year old tradition, the pageant included the swimsuit competition. In an effort to please part of U1e population that this part of the pageant offended. administrators of the competition asked the public what their opinion o f the issue was. For 50 cents a try, viewers could call in and vote to either keep the swunswts or have that part of the competition removed. !'\early a million voted, with 79 percent for swimsuits in the pageant, 21 percent against. Jn a poll of the Miss America contestants them· selves, 42 of the 50 voted to keep the competition. Smith explained, •Personally, I feel the suit is modest enough so I don't think I am compromismg any of my beliefs or principles.•

rom the so-c:alled Farmers High School or Pennsylvania and the dirt streets of the State CoUege Community in 1896 to the present-day Pennsylvania Stale University and modern highway systems, the State College's growth over the century was remarkable. Aaossthedecades, people have grown and matured, providing the essentials for the success of a community. On August 29, 1896, a borough incorporated carved from College Township, which had been originally carved from HarrisandBennerTownshipsin 1874. The town organiulhon began thirty days later when residents held a public meeting in the State College Band J !all. There, on September 29, ll.l'I election chose the oHidills to serve on the t"~n representative bodies: a Borough Council and a Board or School Directors. The popi1lation was only 337, living in the one hundred houses that encompassed the town. As the town began to grow, lhe need for more school perso1u1el, equ ip· ment, and space grew as well.

In 1896, some children attended a little red schoolhouse in Centre Fumace, others went to the Branch school, while students north of the village learnedinaone-roomschoolon the Kmmrine fa rm in Ferguson Township. Once students finished the elementary grades, they learned a~ the expense of U1eir commw1ities and families in academies in Boalsburg and Pine Grove Mills. Penn State's Preparatory Department also welcomed fourteen year-olds who were p lanrung on continuing their education in college. This program was designed to bring the students up to t.he level of college course work. As the town continued to grow, overcrowding of the schools began. As early as 1901 both the town and the campus were experi· encing growing pains, suffering from increased taxes. Coupled with the problem of taxation C<Ul\e the problem of overcrowding among the schools. The need for teachers, supplies, and buildings grew as the student population increased ata rapid ra te. When a fifth teacher was elected in 1901, tile high school began with an enroll ment <)f 17 students. By the year 1910 a second high school teacher was lilied, a full four-year course was instituted and the term was lengthened to nine months beginning in September. These nourishing times continued up wltil the 1940s when the impact of World War U caused drasticcl1angesln both the growth of the town and the expansion of the school system. With the general thought of war and the departure of many members of the commu· nity to overseas locations, the war hit State College hard and slowed down tile growth and expansion which it had experienced since its origin. In 1940 the State College Borough's population of 6300 included 2200 Penn State employees. At that time the enrollment of the pttblic school was 1297. Forty years later, in 1980, the census showed that the population had grown to 61, 935. This census classified the Centre Region as the County's urban area, with State College as its "core city. Then, as now, State College was primarily a residential community and regional center for shopping and employment. l,ong ago it was classified as a "highly developed farming area." Today, there are still many successful and thriving farms on the ouL~kirts of town, but the weaJU1 of it Ues primarily in business and the technology of the various growing industries that make their home in the State College Commuruty. -Amy Griel 11

Heavy Snows Create Havoc in State College A series of powerful early-wtnter snowstorms caused one of the most memorable winters for State College and much of the eastern United States. The first storm, wh ich started on the evening of November 14, dumped 17 inches of heavy. wet snow on lhe Centre Region. The storm took many by surprise, as residents were not used to such a powerful storm so early in the year. Thousands of homes lost power around Centre County due to the snow downing electric cables. Even while working nound the _clock, West Penn Power crews were not able to restore power lo all home.~ for four days. The heavy snow also collapsed many trees; Penn State University reported that the damage to its Lrees from the s torm exceeded $1 million. HC>wever, one the most dramatic problems ca\1sed by the stom1 was trying to clear Beaver Stad ium in time for the Penn StateMichigan football game, 1ustdaysaway. lnmates from the Rockview Correctional Institution )Otned community volunteersand Penn State staff in the 36-hour marathon to remove the snow tn time. These efforts payed off, as the fiPld was cleared in time, and over 80,000 spectators watched lions beat Michigan 27-17. Another snowstorm of equal caliber hit the e11stern United States on January 7. While State College was spared from U1c greatest fury of the storm, receiving only 18 inches, parts of Virginia and southern Pennsylvani• received \tp to four feel of sn<lW. Tv nllow road crews to remove the snow, Pennsylvania Governor Tom RJdge declared a State of Emergency for mo:.t Pennsylvania counties and closed all state and local roads in the affected areas. Centre County's roadways were opened agatn January 9, but in some counhe'! roads remained dosed for three days. Penn State was forced to cancel the first day of its spring semester because many students were not able Lo return to the campus on hme. According to official Accu-Weather tallies, five major storms dumped some 75 inches of snow as of January 22, just one monU1 in lo the winter season. The average yearly snowfoU for the entire season was just 45 inches. Although lhis statistic •eemed impressive, AccuWeather Meteorologis t Paul Pasteloksaid that the winter h.1d not yet set any official r;,cord•. "The record amount of snowfall we got a c<luple years ago, was, I think, 109 inches, M> we're not there yet

However, if we keep on tlus pace the way we're going, we can break that record ." The record snow depth on the ground at any one time was 27 inches so far thi~ season, falling just short of the record 31 inches for theSrateCoUegearea. Hit's been a recordless wmter so far, but we've had a very snowy winter up to this point," summam:ed Pastelok. ManyStateCoUegestudentsdidconsiderthewintcrtobearecord· breaking one as fa r as school cancellations were concerned. Poor weather conditions had already forced the school cUstricl lo cancel live days of classes. Three delayed starts and three early dismissals also had disrupted classes and special events. Why Uie above-average snowfall this winter? "Basically, it all comes down to the jet stream," explained Pastdok. "ln the winter· lime youhaveaimosttwo separnte jet streams set up. You have your polar jct stream that brings all of the cold alt down from Canada and Alaska, and you have your tropical jel stream which bring~ all of the moisture. What is happening is that the jetstreamgoes up in the west. A ridge in Lile west means the jet streams goes way up into Canada, and it comes back into a trough m the east. That's been kind of the stag,,ant pattern. So what that does is thM it brings a lot uf cold air do"~' from Canada that has jllSt bee11 buildingnp and that gives you your cold air. !\ow the subtropical jet has been very active down across the south bnngmg a lot of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic. Titcse two have been meeting up quite often so Car this season and that is the reason why we have h~d so many storms and why we have been on the cold side of the storms. That's basically been the set pattern, it hasn't changed m\lch so for."

Graham Spanier Penn State's New President Speaks Out

of 1996!

1twas mid-afternoon and the e<hoes of U1e bells of Old Main could be heard as w~ si<ttled in the plush chairs in the office of Dr. Spanier. Surrounding us were windows that brought in sunlight from every dirl!Ction. Off to a comer was a fireplace. over which hung Penn State's emblem and sever11l exqWS1te paintings. Relaxed in a chair, with an attentively pleasant expression on his face, President Graham Spanier introduced himself to us. Although a fonl\cr chancellor at the Uruversity of Nebraska, Dr. Spanier was no stranger to State College or the University Park Campus. He previoi1sly worked as a professor at Penn State, and continues to hold the title not only of Penn State'ssixteel'th president, but also the titles of Professor of Human Development al'd Family Studies and Professor of Sociology. Spanier grew up in suburban Chicago, and developed strong values about educatiol'. He performed his undergraduate studies at Po rt Lounge • 2 Dining Rooms • Iowa State University (ISU)11nd graduated in just three years. He then went on to graduate school at ISU, and later on to Northwestern Coffee Shop • Heated Pool University to obtam his Ph.D. His arrival at Penn S111te as the new president pleased many citizens of State College and surrow1ding areas. Be<:ause many students at State High considered nttendini; Penn State, issues ranging from college admission requirements set by 237-7666 Penn State to the amount of homework given a day in college were ' - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ' discussed in the interview "The first thing we look at is what courses, especially those in the college preparatory curriculum, one has taken," explained Spanier about Penn State's admission ffituirements. " I think that it is very important that one takes four years of English. We don' t necessarily require four years ol math; however, I think it's a very good idea, because if you're not le11ming math, you're forgetting math. And m•the matics, of course, provides a foundation for o university edu· cation. A stude11t should have a fair amount of science and sooal studies, and I would recommend exposure to 11 foreign language-two to three Y"•rs is preferable! ' Performmg well on standardized tests and earning good grades in !ugh school were .:ilso held to be important critena that were considered when one applied to Penn State_ "'We use a formula that rombines the SAT score and one's GPA (Grade Point Average)." Spanier continued. "Those are the main issues, aIt hough if 11 student hns an extraordinary ta lent in art or music or is an incredible athlete, Lhose are rnken into account as well." Once accepted to Penn State, some stud en LS may wonder what the university would exp<:ct of them during their senior year in high school. "Keepapplyingyourselfduringyoursenlorycar," Dr.Spanier advised. "Most students think U\at they can slack off during their seruor year You can lose your study skills and you Clln get ' rusty.' I think it's very important to keep worlong hard throughout your

Spanier also offered advice for Penn Slate's incoming freshmen students. He conti11ucd, "The other thing to remember is that Ufe at lhe university is going to be very different. Kids Lhlnk thnt going to college is just going to be;mothcr four years like high school, but it's more advanced. You must be ind ependent. You get two to three hours of work out of class for every hour in class. It takes a lot of set discipline. Learrung to be independent and having good study skills 1s important/ Or. Sp.:inier advised. "It can help make the transition easier."'

After attending many years of school without having to worry about tWtion costs, students planning to attend uruvers1ttes were often concerned with the twtton costs. HJ think you can count on the fact that twbon will never go down," stated Dr. Spanier. "The question is if we can keep the price increases low." Whatdoe~Crahani Spanier seem thehorlzonforhimsell and Penn State? "I'd like to work on some of the bro•d areas," said Spanier. "lnternationali,.ntion is a high priority of mine. How to educate students so that they'U have an understanding of lhe global ~pec trum . Things like studying abroad, spending a semester in another country, and having ~tudents from other countries come to study here is important.'' Many students also considered bra11ch campuses when applying to Penn State. Others were disappointed when they were not ac· cepled at the University Park campus and had to attend a branch campus instead. "lt' s a good optioll for those who want a '"'"lier environment, especially for those students from State College High School who might want to get away from home!"' Spanier said encuuraginglv. When asked how he would describe a typical Penn State student, Or. Spanier thoughtfully smiled and replied, ~EnthUSlll5ttc Our student'! are terribly enthusiastic about thtS place. Talented. There is a tremendous amount of talent here. And, loyal. Our student-. are very loyal to Penn State."

It's 1 J :59 on December 31. For many in past years, th.is time was spent partying with friends or w~tching the giant ball come down in Times Square with family to ring in the new year. This year,however, many people chose an alternative way to celebrate: First Night State College. an alcohol free, family-oriented night, celebrating the arrival of the new year. Tite second annual Fi·rst Night celebration in downtown State College featured larger-than-life ice sculptures, a midnight spectacular fireworks display, a grand proe<)ssion, and various dance prese11tations. Thecelebralion also featured a Centennial Tilumination Night held in Central Parklet. The funding fo.r the building of the ice sculptures was provided by various area businesses, with PNC Bank being the largest contributor as well as the festival organizer. The d isplay included over 100 luminaries. lanterns, and lighted globes. Another un ique actjvity was five revolution fire sculptures in which participants had the opportunity to bum away their problems in order to start off the New Yea1· on the right foot. While some students simply enjoyed taking ln the First Night celebration, others were busy creating and overseeing the displays and presentations thal made up the evenl. For example, volunteers from Bell Atlantic, HRB Systems, NTS/Computer Exchange, Penn State, and the community teamed up with State High students and teachers to create a "Virtual First Night" on the lntemet. Students began working several mo1\ths in advance, to prepare World Wide Web pages so that people all over the world could participate in the State College First Night Festivities. The group, under the direction of HRB's John Cieply, b·ied to convince other cities lo participate in the Virtua l First Night, but State College was the only one w ith the necessary high-tech equipment and resources, In addition to U1e on-line resources. the group set up computers at Schlow Library ill downtown State College for First Night participants to explore the Internet. While conh"ibuting to the new year's celebration, the Virtual First Night also showed off some of the latest in technology. "Basically, First Night gave a demonstration of how the school network ca,n be used, and it showed the potential of the school's computer resources:· explailted junior Yan Ke, one of the project's creators.

Harold Altman Paints Centennial Picture

lf(J'S HOAGI£ HDIJS£ 2 2 2 (JJesf /Jeaver Avenue 8tafe College FR££ D£L/0£RYf 23'1~3535

Parfitt/Ling Consulting Engineers Congratulations and Good Luck to the State High Class of 1996 101 South Fraser Street State College,PA 16801-3850 814-234-4350 FAX: 814-234-0180

As State College turned one hundred, Centennial directors sought to find an appropriate way to commemorate this landmark year artistically. They chose Mr. Harold Altman, an internationally-known artist based in nearby Lemont, Pennsylvania, to create a painting that would represent a century of life in the State College community. Mi:. Altman, in tum, chose that the subject of this painting was to be State College's Holmes-Foster Park. Why Holmes-Poster Park? .For one thing, its central location in an older residential area near do\Vntown between Beaver Avenue and Westerly Parkway made it" well-known and familiar place for most residents. The park, the site of numerous birthday parties, picnics, and Arts Festival events, was a popular local gathering place for adults as well as children. Sentimental and emotional reasons also madelllinchoose this location. "!love the park," said Mr. Altman. "Tt is the most beautiful park in the State College area." He o ften saw lus own children playing in lhe park, and fell in love with its huge, magnificant trees. The unique shadows and light of Holmes-Foster Park were add itional factors that influenced his decision to use the park as the subject of the Centennial pain ling. And in the winter, even under several inches of snow, the park retained its attraction as people used its slopes and pathways for sledding and cross-cowl try skiing, and for having fun in the snow . When asked how living in the Centre Region has influenced his art, Mr. Altman replied, "kbro ught me back to nah1re." ·w hile living in Paris, he painted mostly market scenes. However, when he came to the 'Bucolic area' of State CoUege in 1962, his emphasis switch~d to parks and landscape. Mr. Altman now spends pa rt of the year in the Centre Region and pa rt in Paris. Known for his subdued, impressionis tic style of painting, Mr. Altman paints to show the juxtaposition of man and nature in the outdoors.

Lorne Frantz In the center of the Centennial Lorene Frantz held the job of a century. As Director of the State College Centennial, she created the colorful, energetic, year-long Centennial celebration. Fra11tz's experience in organizing the Centra!Pennsylvarua Festival of the Arts proved to be an asset. Her personal love of State College was her inspiration. "My husband cal ls me the patriot of State College," she joked. Under the direction of Frantz, the Centennial Commiltee brainstom1ed ways to commemorate the milestone. A Centennial shop was created to provide t-shirts, coffee mugs, and other pop.u lar memorabilia to the public. AJ; part of their effort to preserve the history of the town, a book entitled The Story of the Century was published. A lso, concerts, exhibits, competitions, and a flurry of other events sprinkled throughout th e year kept the community involved in the celebration. Explaining the purpose of the Centennial celebration, Frantz said, "We want lo give experiences to people and an opportunity to share their stc>ries." One of the most valuable memories that Frantz gained was the "magic of the opening ceremonies." "That night was so incredibly beautiful," she recalled.

Thank You ... When we were given this prestigious position way back in the spring o f our junior year, neither one of us knew exactly what we were getting ourselves into. We had both heard horror stories of what was before us, but for some reason we both applied for. accepted, and assumed the position of co-editor-in-<hief. Yes, it has been an enlightening and character-building experienc:e. We've met new people, gotten closer with others, and learned how to stick up for what we believe in. This year's staff (of yearbook people) has certainty ~en one of the best. You have all given us countless memories that will takes years to e rase from our minds. Who will forget Monopoly, splatter painting, maggot infestations, WillMaker, dynarnicil;m, the car incident that was soca1·efully planned, ketchup, waving to lhc hidden camera, scratches tn the door, drama, New York City and riding the subway, the lunch Buncli Connection, Nora encounters, importan~ documents spewed on the floor, Mark's dally health lessons, Dr. Laura, our pending lawsuit(s), ftlc sharing, and, most of al_I, remem~nng to shu! the door before opening your mouth? You guys have definitely made this an experience to remember. Thanks agam for making tlie bad hmes seem not so '>ad and the good times seem even better. Good luck in your futures!

ONE LAS[ GLANCE 'h s

' \

On to the Future •••••••••••••••••••••••• As students took ONE LAST GLANCE at the past, they could not resist sneaking an anxious peek at what lay ahead. In 2001, State I Ligh students probably will be scattered around the country. Scholars who had chosen to further their educations at a college or university will be at some of the country's best institutions. Meanwhile, State High's skilled athletes will be continuing the winning and working tradition in some of the country's best and most successful aU1letic programs. Other students will decide to put their thirteen years of education to work immediately after graduation. Having bee11 out in the "real world" for five years, high school seniors may have already found a permanent job o( their liking. At the same time, underclassmen might just be beginning to explore what careers they plan to pursue during their Jives. Peering five years into the future was uplifting for some students and downright frightening for others. While some welcomed the notio11 of beingoutofhighschool and no longer dependent on their parents, others secretly wished that they cou Id have a few more years of childhood.

©NELAS1 GLANCE 25 Years Ahead •••••••••••••••••••••••• Evenasstudentsstood taking ONE LAST GLANCE back, lime silently still ticked on. Twenty-five years seemed likeanetern.ity for teen-agers, but experience showed that those days, months, and years would tick by foster than most students cared to acknowledge. What would their live!> be like twenty-some years after graduation? Many students will have fow1d a mate lo accompany U1em through the rest of their lives by then, and may be raising their own children. Watching lheir offspring, they would see images of themselves years before. By 2021, State High students will have become leaders of the world. Students who had once daydreamed during physics and algebra classes will have become the nexl genera lion engineers, doctors, ru1d teachers. Politicians who hadoncearglied for open lunch during Student Covernme11t meetings might be fighting for legislation on the floor of United States Senate, while journalists who had once covered school parking problems for the Lions' Digest might then be reporting for th e New York Times. As school closed, images of the future fueled student's hopes, dreams, and ambitions.

©NE.LAS[ GLANCE The Next Century •••••••••••••••• • ••••••• As they looked back at State College's century of history, students imagined what the world might be like one hundred years down the road. Taking ONE LAST GLANCE at the enormous changes that occurred over the last century, no one could be sure what the year 2096 would hold in store for students' great-greatgrandchildren. Using our science fiction literature as a guide, some predicted that our descendants might be living on the moon orevenonanotherplanet. Their computers might be millions times fasterU1anourelectronicdevices,and might fit in microscopic cases. Modem cars might be made obsolete by rocket vch ides that today might stagger our imaginations. In one hundred ye<1_rs, will the problems of today's world still exist? Students held hopes thatenemiesofcivi1.ization such as world hunger, nuclear war, life-threatening pollution, and deadly viruses would be long since stamped out. Through these changes, students imagined teenagers in 2096 still gracing the halls of State High. And, just as u1 1996, students will no doubt continue to dream about leaving their own mark on the world.
