Twirp royalty announced

Ken Belnap

Lisa McCreary George Trezos

Every year, the junior class nominates three outstanding junior guys and three outstanding girls to represent them as King and Queen of the T.W.I.R.P. dance. This year's King and Queen are Ken Belnap and Christy Bulkeley. Since his freshman year, Ken has been very active in football and track. He has also been a member of Student Senate, and has participated in some drama productions. Christy has also been very active this year as seen in her participation in varsity cheer and Delta Omega. She is currently serving as Junior class vice-president and is Ep­silon Chi's historian. In the past she has participated in such things as J .V. cheer, freshman volleyball, A.S.P.U., Model Legislature, and she was the sophomore class vice-president.

The other nominees for T.W.I.R.P. were E.G. Carlstrom, George Trezos, Lisa McCreary, and Tracy Lambert. E.G. is this year's junior class president. He has lettered in football for two years and in track for three years. Also, E.G. was involved in Key Club, ITK, Student Senate, and Thespians. George has also been very active in football, playing for three years and lettering this year. Because George enjoys football, he was chosen to be a powder-puff and Kappa football coach. He was a former Key Club member. Lisa has had an enjoyable year as a member of varsity cheer. She is also very active in many on and off campus clubs, such as Delta Omega, X-Club, and in Beta Gamma, where she holds the office of secretary. Tracy is very familiar to Arcadians who have seen her perform as Titan Spirit girl during football season. Tracy is very active outside of school where she likes to do a lot of modeling, sports, and exercise.

All of the nominees felt that their class did a good job planning a suc­cessful and fun T.W.I.R .P. dance . They were all very excited to be nominated . One of the more notable comments made by Ken Belnap was, "I'm glad the girls get to splurge for at least one of the dances . It is a good idea, but I'm not sure if they should drive. Too many Arcadia women on the road in one night could mean trouble!" Well Ken, thanks for the input and congratulations to all of the nominees. We're sure its a night you won't soon forget.

This year's T.W.I.R.P. dance was an astounding success due to the ef­forts of the junior class. The dance was held on February II th at the gym, and was one of the best attended dances in Arcadia history with about one-hundred and fifty couples attending. The music was provided by John Herring and Tom Sahnas, who did a good job of providing a large variety of songs. The cost of tickets was eight dollars which helped the juniors to raise nine-hundred dollars which they will use for the prom.

Because the dance was held so near to Valentine's Day, the theme was a Sweetheart one. A lot of people worked very hard on Saturday after-

• noon to COver the gym in red and pink streamers and red paper hearts with the names of the couples attending the dance printed in calligraphy on them . These were put up along the walls along with other various Valentine decorations. On one wall of the gym was T.W.I.R.P. dance written in white lights. All of these decorations helped to give the dance a special atmosphere which added to its success.

Fine Arts prepares two new

produdions The Arcadia Fine Arts Depart­

ment is presenting two plays; "Black Comedy" and "Im­promptu," showing March 2nd and 3rd. The productions will be shown on Arcadia's stage at 7:30 p.m.

"Black Comedy," a hilariously original play, is directed by Amy Ford. The curtain opens and the stage is dark. (but don't think you've come on the wrong night) because in actuallity it is light to the characters. A fuse blows and throws them in the dark. (which is light to the audience.)

The play is a story of a girl bringing her wealthy father to meet her fiance, an unknown sculptor. To impress the girl's father, the sculptor has both in­vited a wealthy art patron apd stolen the furniture from the apartment next door for his bare pad. The lights go out and every­thing is turned upsidedown. The neighbor returns too soon, and the art patron is mistaken for the electrician . . .

The cast is very professional. The cast of "Black Comedy" con­sists of eight people. Bob Munsil, as Brindlsly; Kim Reisse, as Carol; Jennifer Heller, as Ms. Furnival; Donald Munsil, as Colonel Malkett; Scott Fleetwood, as Harold; Sean Mckusick, as Schuppanzigh; Heidi Burg, as Clea; and Ken Belmap, as George Banburger.

The other play, "Impromptu," is directed by Lance Shepard. It consists of four people from the acting troop. The cast is small but the impact of their performance is amazing. Sean Rose plays Ernest; Kim Limblade, as Windred; Jeanne Gilbreath, as Lora; and Elliot Jones, as Tony.

"Impromptu" is a melodrama about life. The story line is that of four actors being sent on a job to perform on stage all aspects of life. They are handed no scripts and are told to improvise. The actors bicker and quarrel as to what they are going to do, with a house full with an audience. The stage manager gives them a cove­nant for them to live by. The first being: Their performance will not be over until he is completely satisfied with it. The second one is: They are not permitted to leave the stage until the play is over. And the last one is that the play will be an imitation of life itself.

These plays are definitely worth seeing. Both of them will keep you spinning and applauding fOI more. Today Arcadia's Stage, tomorrow Broadway!! -

AHendance Policy Not New Just Enforced DiHerently

There seem to be a lot of ru­mors circulating on campus about the new administration and the changes that seem to be taking place. In order to clear up some of the misunderstandings, we deci­ded to interview Mr. Bruins and Miss Collins.

The major issue we discussed was attendance. Arcadia used to be first in attendance of the Scottsdale High Schools and we've now dropped to third. The main administrative goal is to move us back up to first. You've probably noticed Coach Howard and Miss Collins coming into classes and talking to students. Instead of trying to correct a problem they are trying to prevent it from happening in the first place. To do this, they are talking to students after their first unex­cused absense, instead of sending home a mailer after the third or fourth absense, that will probably be intercepted by the student and disposed of. When they contact a student they just ask him why the absense was unexcused. I f they are

unable to reach him during the school day, they will call his parents at home. Contrary to pop­ular belief, the punishment for an unexcused absense is not picking up trash or writing" I will not cut class." on the blackboard one hundred times. In most instances parents choose to take care of the problem themselves.

Another concern of the admin­istration is the number of students who have "no classes" who are wandering around campus. They are trying to help students arrange their schedules so they do not have free periods between classes. So far, the system seems to be work­ing and the amount of mailers going out to students is decreasing rapidly.

As for the parking lot situation, Miss Collins and Mr. Bruins ad­vise to use your best judgment when eating and playing the radio.

Overall, the administration would like to stress that there have been no changes in policy, only in the procedures used to enforce them.

Arcadia instrumentalists and vocalists perform very weD

Arcadia did an outstanding job in Solo and Ensemble, and Region­als. Thirteen people from Arcadia made Regionals and will have a chance to audition for All State Chorus. Jenny Sutcliffe made 5th chair, out of 26. Amy Ford made 23rd chair, and alternates are Heidi Lee and Erin Owens. The altos are: Kim Murillo, 18th chair; and alternate Lisa Ford. Tenors are: Lance Shepard, 16th chair; Sean Rose, 17th chair; John Matchette, 19th chair; and George Drum 21st chair. Bass and Bari­tones are as follows: Elliot Jones, 6th chair; Scott Fleetwood, 14th chair; and Bob Munsil, 16th chair. Congratulations all of you and good luck in All State.

The auditions for Regionals and for Solo and Ensemble, was held at Westwood High. Arcadia was proud to leave with nothing lower than an excellent in the overall grades. You are graded on techni­que, interpretation, and other

factors of your singing. The high­est grade you can get is a superior, 2nd is excellent, 3rd is good, 4th is fair, and 5th is poor. The majority of Arcadia solos were superior. Soloists who got superior ratings were: Heidi Lee; Scott Fleetwood; Sean Rose; Bob Munsil; Laura Hill; George Drum; Amy Ford; Tracey Eighmey; Alexa Tibbits; Erin Owens; Elliott Jones; Jenny Sutcliffe; and John Matchette. Soloists receiving excellent were: Lisa Utzinger; Lisa Ford; David Martin; Ginger Jarvis; Michell Sandlin; and Lance Shepard. Duets that received superior were: Scott Fleetwood and Kim Murillo; Bob Munsil and Heidi Lee; Mich­eli Sandlin and Erin Owens. Duets receiving excellents were: Ginger Jarvis and Jenny Sutcliffe; George Drum and Laura Hill; and Lance Shepard and Alexa Tibbits . The men's ensemble got a superior and the ladies received an excellent.

Pep assemblies are a Friday morning favorite

This year Arcadia has put on several successful Pep Assembly's. They start with the normal pom and cheer routines and continue on with several other exciting activities. Our band is a big help at the assembly's by playing the Arcadia Fight Song.

In our past assembly's the coaches have introduced the football, basketball, volleyball, tennis, wrestling, and the swim teams. The in­dividuals who participated in these sports events, put forth a tremen­dous amount of effort.

Arcadia's clubs have also played a special part in these assembly's. Delta performed a skit about the Homecoming candidates. They were as follows: Polly Burke, Michelle Brenchley, Jill Brown, Danny Coyle, Scott Gesicki and Steve Nelson.

Our most touching assembly was when the st udents of Arcadia High bid farewell to Dr. Pratt and all of the retiring teachers. In addition to that assembly we welcomed the incoming teachers, which we are sure will do an outstanding job .

The most recent assembly was Switch. This consisted of the pom line doing a cheer, the cheer line doing a dance, and our most famous Key Club Cheerleaders that did a phenomenal job. These boys were Jeff Guerin, Van Tucker, Scott Gesicki, Doug Calvert, Anton Visser, Bill Rosenfeld, Scott McFetters. John Moody. Jeff Harrison. Jim Brown.

Editorials •• When I was an underclassperson, my senior friends used to mope and gripe all the time about how sick they were of school, of seeing the same people, etc. They claimed that they suffered from "senioritis," a disease that affects high school seniors. Symptoms include: acute apathy, constant complaining, and lots of laziness. Gee, I thought, if those were the symptoms of senioritis, then I've had it since day one of my freshman year! "Oh no," said my friends, "You'll see ... " They were right. Senioritis has hit me, and it hit me hard!! I now wake up at 7:10 a.m., pull on my sweats, brush my teeth, crawl into the car, and hope I make it to first hour at a reasonable time. Compare this to freshman year, when I woke up at 5:00 a.m., primped for two hours, then skipped to the bus stop. (Gag!) Why is it that I, and so many of my classmates, feel this way? Gosh, being a high school senior is supposed to be one of the milestones of life! Seniors can drive, and we have later curfews. Underclassmen supposedly look up to us , and we know our way around Arcadia. We have relatively easy schedules, and fun things to look forward to like prom and graduation. So what 's the problem?

I don't think I or anyone else is able to answer such a difficult questions with a part answer. Maybe it's a bunch of things which all combine and expand into senioritis by one's 12th year in an educational institution . Maybe there's no explanation, and that's just the way things go.

In any event, all I know is that I'm currently suffering from the disease. Even if we don't know the cause we do know the cure. The only problem is that it's a long way 'til May 24th!

At certain times of the day every girl walks into the bathroom to either a.) brush hair, b.) apply lipgloss, c.) use commode, d.) blow nose, e.) wash hands, e.) all of the above.

But since a certain bathroom in the circle has been temporarily closed for reconstruction, (and smoke ventilation), our beloved cigarette smoking population is now invading the "nonsmoking" bathrooms. It is very annoying to walk into our once-clean bathrooms to find a bunch of tough-looking Harley riders, puffing away; blowing that nauseating smoke in your face. We are finding cigarette butts and ashes all over the sinks and floors. Sometimes the smoke is so thick you can't see your reflection in the mirror or find your way to the stall! If you remain in the bathroom for over 10 seconds, your clothes will pick up the wonderful fragrance of Marlboro and it will linger for the rest of the day. Your eyes may even itch and burn for a while. And if you make any comments as to why are these girls smoking in here - you may just get whaled upon.

Yes, I have a personal prejudice against cigarettes - they stink up everything in sight, especially one's breath - but I don't care if some­one decides to smoke - they have a right to rot out their lungs if they so desire, but not the lungs of everyone else who simply want to use the bathroom facilities! Smoking on campus is also a violation of policy and calls for suspension, if the offenders are caught. So for the majority of us girls who don't smoke, we kindly ask those who do to stay out of the bathrooms when that urge for nicotine hits! .

In the meantine, some helpful suggestions for nonsmokers who must use the bathrooms: a.) Carry Glade super-strength air deoderizer with you (for those potent fumes), b.) Do nOl go into the bathroom alone! c.) Do not look directly at smoker (they may become violent, d.) Do nOl go jnLo bathroom if you are dressed reppy lQrsou WILL di~.

Teachers are people too: Mr. Rutz

At the beginning of this year, Arcadia welcomed a new teacher from Scottsdale High, Mr. Rutz. In actuality, teaching is not new to Mr. Rutz. When he was a sixteen year old in Milwaukee, Wiscon­sin, he used to teach chess to little kids on the playgrounds. After high school, he went on to the University of Wisconsin to get his bachelors degree in history and his masters in science and math edu­cation. Originally, he taught in Wisconsin, Florida and Georgia . Then it was on to the Scottsdale School District where he spent 21 of his 22 years in the district at Scottsdale High . He also has taught since 1966 at night at Scottsdale Community College. Here at Arcadia, Mr. Rutz teaches trigonometry, pre-calculus, con­sumer math, and algebra.

Mr. Rutz said that Arcadia was his first preference in choosing a new school when Scottsdale

closed. This was primarily because he feels Arcadia has a lot of good students that take their school work and grades seriously. An­other reason for choosing Arcadia is that Mr. Rutz has a lot of friends at Arcadia and is a firm believer in socializing. And, his home is so close to Arcadia that he is currently walking to school every day which makes the trip very convenient.

Mr. Rutz is also a firm believer in using humor in the classroom. He can often be found cracking jokes to his students. This, he feels, helps create a more relaxing atmosphere, which makes for a good class because students often work harder at something they en­joy. Also, Mr. Rutz believes that the students are the most impor­tant part of a school system. It is important for teachers to have as much contact with students as possible. This is partially why Mr. Rutz offers extra math help to any student who is in need every morning at seven o'clock in his room.

As far as the future goes, Mr. Rutz plans to teach until he re­tires. Currently, Mr. Rutz enjoys teaching and hobbies such as chess, camping, golfing, garden­ing, and meeting intelligent ladies. However, he does plan to someday take a one year sebatical leave to tour the country. Well, Mr. Rutz, we hope your future at Arcadia is a happy one.

she dives she sings she acts

student of the -month-

-Amy-This month the Arcadian has

chosen a very worthy girl for Stu­dent of the Month . She is Amy Ford. Amy is so involved here at Arcadia, it's hard to keep up with her!

Earlier this year, Amy was on the Diving team and did an excel­lent job. She placed second at divisionals, and later went to take fourteenth at state. She is cur­rently the president and chore­ographer of Chorale and she re­cently made the regional choir with a superior rating in her solo. With this she has the opportunity to audition for the All-State choir. She is also taking lessons at Jed Nolans and hopes to perform there soon.

Amy has appeared in such plays as The Music Man, Bye Bye Birdie, Up the Down Staircase, and is directing the most recent play, Black Comedy. She is a member of the Scottsdale Honors Cotillion and works at Saks Fifth Avenue.

After high school, Amy plans to attend Brigham Young University. There she will be involved in diving, and will major in Physical Therapy and minor in Theatre. After college, Amy says she will get married and have 12 kids. (Will Mike agree to this?)

When asked what her feelings are about Arcadia, Amy stated, "It's hard to say. I like it a lot, but I think I'm ready to leave." She likes people who don't put on a fake mask, and can be themselves.

Her favorite pastimes are laying out and being with Mike at his baseball games. (Of course.)

Thanks, Amy, for a great int er­view. Arcadia loves you!

There are times in everyone's life,

When they feel alone and scared: When the roads have so many Directions to turn, And you are easily led Off the beaten path. Times when the clouds Cover the sun, And you are left cold And hungry for the

companionship Of others. Parts of your life Will seem so pointless, When your heart goes in one Direction; And your mind in another. But I believe these are times of Construction: Bridges for you to walk across; Instead of moments of Destruction . Alexa Tibbits

i?CI()()III" witt! i?()Z

In view of Valentine's Day having passed us once again, I'd like to comment on the constant display of affection that occurs everyday in our halls and possibly in class, too (I haven't noticed that it happens in class too often because I don't want to notice). I'm also not referring to me because I'm a swinging single bacholorette (the only way to be, I might add). It's just that it's positively disgusting to the older generation (teachers) and others to watch "married" couples publicly spitting all over each other's faces while others either applaud, gag, or stare (voyeur action - Freshman style - look that one up in the dictionary). You'd think that these couples are connected at the lips or other unmention­able parts of the body. I mean, everyone knows (assumes or expects) that teenage couples mash anyhow, but unless these couples are writing a book and are advertising for it, most people would probably appre­ciate it if this "advertising" were subliminal. Holding hands is O.K., be­cause it has been proven that disease aren't caught from door knobs and the like, even though we know that Herpes and AIDS (but I'm not a homosexual, right Eddie Murphy?) can live for 10 hours on a tiolet seat.

Also along these lines, don't these couples get stomach aches from eating their lunch so fast so that they can save 15 minutes of their lunch hour to suck face in their nearby car? I though the parking lot was where you parked. Too bad you can't get busted for parking after 11:00 like on Camelback Mountain (not speaking from personal experience, of course). The next thing you know, The School Board will hire these couples (Couple of the Month Award!) to teach sex education class (re­quired for incoming Freshmen). Too bad we don't have lockers that people could just walk between and continue their activities in semi­privacy - Wait! - a suggestion for Student Gov. that I should bring up. We can move the P.E. lockers from the lockerrooms and put them in thehalls so that two people can fit in them! They are even red and blue.

Right on AHS! Love,

Roz

P.S. Scrub and Grub Day was great! I wonder if the classes that had to paint the speed bumps took a good look in some of the "couples" cars and then painted "Just Married" on them. P.P.S. I'll get you back Jeff Guerin.

Oliver goes to Twirp Student Government is now in the process of

recuperation ... They've had an overwhelming month. Two of our biggest events of the year, TWIRP and Food Bazaar, occurred within 5 days of each other. It was difficult trying to organize both activities at the same time, but they really pulled it off well! The series of events started with TWIRP week, which featured a baby face contest, Opposite Sex day, and S-M-O-O-C-H Day (we all loved that one). By the end of the day there were several candidates with "Iipstuck" faces of every shade: pink, red, orange, fuschia, and those

cos~ic irridescent shades. Some guys had lipmarks on places, besides theIr faces!!!! However, no winner was ever discovered and Christie Brinkley was pretty bummed, to say the least. A pep assembly held that Friday featured Cheer and Porn's switch, but better yet, Key Club's sexy routine, full of hairy-legged dancers ... definitely entertaining!!! Junior class put on an excellent TWIRP dance; the turnout was fantastic!! Thanks Juniors (we'll be looking forward to an even better Prom now).

The Fourth Annual International Food Bazaar was fun - tons and tons of great food of all kinds, nice door prizes, and lots of interesting people. A special thanks to all the many restaurants, businesses, parents and students who put their time and effort into this to make it a success. Although Yours Truly was back East playing at Harvard, Student Government maintained, and everything went as planned . Michelle managed to get it all together, it's just that her condition isn't the same anymore (thanks David!). All I have left to say is GOOD JOB GUYS! We survived it!

P .S. To all those who lost sleep or "shafted" their homework for this, thanks a MILLION!!! We couldn't have done it without ya and the sacrifice is greatly appreciated. Also, thank you STUDENT SENATORS for your contributions and help . You're great!

Not necessarily the news We at the Arcadian try very hard to keep you informed of up-to-the­

month information. However, many of you don'l get recognition very often. We therefore dedicate this article to you, the unmentioned Arca­dian.

Parada del Sol events offer something for everyone

Parada Del Sol, a Spanish word meaning "walk in the sun," was truely a bright experience. Its the celebration of Scottsdale's Wes­tern atmosphere. Through the weekend people, young and old, were dressed in boots, hat and jeans. There was something for everyone to get involved in.

On Saturday the 4th was the fa­mous Parada Del Sol. It is the largest horse-drawn parade in the nation. There were 2,000 indivi­duals and 500 horses divided into categories, such as commercial floats, musical and nonmusical marching groups, civic floats, silver riders, saddle clubs and mounted civic organizations. Ninety percent of the entries were from within the state, but a few silver riders from California returned this year. This was the thrity-first annual Parada Del Sol Parade. It's hard to improve on something that has been going so well for three decades.

For all the cowboys in the Val­ley there was a rodeo. The events included bull riding, calf roping, steel wrestling, saddle bronc rid­ing, and bareback riding. Group events were shown as well, such as team roping and barrel racing. There was also an exceptional rodeo event. A handicapped child was teamed up with a professional cowboy, and together they competed against other teams . The events included roping, ribbon relay, barrel racing and others.

Teenagers from across the state weren't horsing around during the Parada Del Sol High School Ro-deo. It was a big-time event. Some of the participants were national finalists and others were national winners. Scottsdale Jaycees de­cided to add a rodeo to teenagers to its list of Parada events.

The teenagers competed in such events as saddle bronc riding, bar­rel racing, bareback riding, calf roping, bull riding and steer wrestling.

Most of the contestants, rang­ing in age from 14 to 18, rode their own horses when they competed for the prize money and belt buc­kles. The rodeo turned out to be a success and next year they are planning more activities for the High Schoolers of Arizona.

The Old West Pony Express ride was another successful hit on their 26th consecutive year. Hol­brook's Hashknife Gang carried the mail 200 miles through the White Mountains, over the Mo­gollon Rim and across the Verde River, and then into the Valley. The Navajo County Mounted Sheriff's Posse followed the only remaining Pony Express route in the country sanctioned by the U.S. postal service .

Following the parade, was a Trails End Celebration. The cele­bration was held at Los Arcos Mall as each float completed the parade route. The floats from the Parade were placed in a circle so everyone could view them . Dis­plays and entertainment were of­fered, such as fashion shows, Western dances, skits, gun fights, a live country band, and displays of art from the Firebird Artists. The main reason for the Trails End Celebration was so that the public could have a chance to see the floats close up.

All in all the Parada Del Sol was another smash hit. For those of you who missed it you are invited to watch the parade as well as the rodeo in living color replays with Video Memories . You may order you tape from Frontier Lanes. For those of you who attended ,ome of these activities I'm sure you found it well worth your while .

Sigma and Delta to cooperate

This year, two of Arcadia's most active clubs are attempting to end an age-old rivalry. Sigma and Delta, Arcadia's two on-cam­pus clubs, are cooperating in many activities. The two had a Christmas party together, and also sponsored a needy family. Cur­rently in the works is a "thank you" tea for Dr. Pratt, along with the traditional Sigma-Delta bas­ketball game.

Although Delta did not pick up any new mid-term members, Sig­ma picked up seven girls. The new members of Sigma are: Stephanie Bryson, Meg Amster, Carrie Brennan, Karen Solberg, Chris­tine Holland, Lisa Mann, and Traey Cramer, Congratulations to new and old members of both clubs for a job well done! .

Off campus clubs have midterms

by Tiffany Ray and Loretta Wooten

Beta's new members are: Amy Jallo, Sundee AungKhin, Gerri Stamatis, Noily Ehlen­berger. and Sue Pierce. Kappa picked up four new members: Jenny Gilstrap. Pam Zukerman. Kara Keenan. and Trish DaVIes. Epsilon also acquired some new members including: Ellen Stein. Tracy Cramer. Amy Atchison. Kim Schlink. and Ginger Vaules. Congratulations to the new mem­bers of all clubs.

The annual Beta vs. Kappa football game is just around the corner. The clubs picked some Arcadia guys to be their coaches. They were picked up along with the mid-term members. Beta's coaches are: Shawn Bellamak. Dean Cerimelli. Eddie Beurlein. Ed Wintergalen, Joe Wintergalen. John MacArthur, Tim Wampler. and Danny Coyle. Kappa's coaches are: Pat Smith, Steve Rosholt .

Scrub and Grub day was fun and a great success On February first, Arcadia had

it's first "Scrub and Grub Day" and it was a big success. All third hour teachers and their classes participated in various projects to beautify the campus. This activity was organized by the "A-Team," a group of students, parents and teachers formed as a result of a three-day conference about help­ing students feel good about them­selves. The aim of "Scrub and Grub Day" was to help students feel good about their surround-

ings. The results of "Scrub and Grub Day" were magnificent! The bathrooms were painted, the windows were cleaned , there were trees planted, and speed bumps painted. Although there were some projects left unfinished, overall the "Scrub and Grub Day" turned out to be a great suc­cess. We want to take the time to say "thanks" to all who partici­pated in "Scrub and Grub Day," it was fun, and it was worth it!

Pictured above is a class of students dOing a class job of painting speed bumps.

• J.V. The Arcadia junior varsity boys'

basketball team had a seasonal record of 4-13. Even though they had many losses, they did work hard. According to Coach Yee, the junior varsity team displayed a good effort and attitude. "There were a lot of hustlers on the team which contributed to our good press against our opponents," said Coach Yee .

Against Casa Grande, Arcadia came back from an II point deficit in the fourth quarter to win by two. This was the result of a good press play used by the Titans against the Cougars and by their terrific team unity.

Outstanding players on the team included Scott Foss, Andy Harts­field, Paul Kerr and Don Graves . These players displayed outstand­ing abilities and hopefully we will see them back on the court next year.

Coach Yee concludes, " I would like to thank my team for an en­joyable year which resulted from their good altitude and effort. I couldn't have asked for anything more. "

frosh The freshmen boys basketball

team had a super season, ending with a 12-3 record. According to their coach, the team showed good teamwork, unity and dedication.

Outstanding athletes on the team were Peter Driggs and Mark For­manek. Formanek was the high scorer and rebounder for the team, while Driggs performed his guard position with excellence.

One of the team's most exciting games was against Camelback. Arcadia really showed their team­work when they were down by about ten points and caught up until they were only down by one basket. It was the last second of the fourth quarter and Driggs made the shot to tie the game . They then went into overtime and Arcadia beat Camelback.

"I really appreciated their hard work along with putting up with me," comments coach Bretz, "I'm very happy about our win­ning season. "

wrestling The wrestling team took first

place in the Scottsdale Christian Tournament at the beginning of the season, but were 0-10 at the end of the season.

The team started with fifty play­ers and ended with nine. Coach Morales explains that wrestling is a hard, physical sport that takes dedication, commitment and alot of effort during practice. It's a tough kid sport and there aren't enough tough kids with the killer instinct to make a good team.

Even though the team didn't have a winning season, they had fun. Coach Morales wants to show the team that he appreciates their dedication by saying Thank You to: senior: Brett Flesnet, junior: Andrew Nabity, sophmores: Scott Stewart, Lee D'Andrea and Todd McFetters, freshmen: Eddie Elliot, Denis Caster, Brian Swan, and Sean Lee.

Thanks guys and thanks Coach Morales for your dedication to Arcadia.

soccer One of the more uncommon /

sports at Arcadia is soccer. New coach Stephen Garripa has led his team to a quite impressive year.

On Tuesday , January 17, Arca­dia hosted Agua Fria in a must win game. Arcadia had a 4-2 deficit at the half but made a dazzling come­back until the game was tied 5 all . With only a minute left to play, senior, Steve Nelson, kicked the winning goal which tied Arcadia and Cactus for 1st place~

Knowing if they overtook Cac­tus on January 24, Arcadia would be in the State playoff, the team gave it their best effort. Unfortu­nately, they were defeated 3-1.

Arcadia's Soccer Team faced its next contender on January 26. Tolleson was shut out easily. Dave Alley did a first class job during this game.

The team had one chance left . They would have to defeat Gi lbert and Agua Fria would have to beat Cactus.

Because Agua Fria was defeated Arcadia's hopes were shattered. Still they gave it their best shot but were edged by Gilbert 2-1 . Because of the absence of Steve Nelson, an injury to senior Ed Wintergalen, and the illness of sophomore, Joe Wintergalen, the team did not per­form as well as usual.

Despite the fact that the team did not come home with the cham­pionship, they still tied Agua Fria

Pictured above are #33 Bill Brann, #28 Rob Sanders, #10 Dale Camp· bell, and behind is Ian VanDer· Schlink. This was Arcadia 's final game against Gilbert.

for 2nd place. But the goals of Ar­cadia's soccer team still live on. Hopefully next year the team will conquer their quest for the cham­pionship.

girls' tennis The girls tennis teams have been

chosen and are already practicing for a winning 1984 season. The members of the varsity and junior varsity teams are listed in order of excellence (and are subject to change). The varsity team in­cludes: freshmen Lisa Whiskeman and Monica Young; junior Julie Bowe; sophomore Michelle Rig­bery; senior Amanda Cook and junior Dee Dee Gage. The junior varsity team includes: senior Kristi Miller; junior Angela Tassoni; freshmen Tina Jungberg, Jenny Maxwell, Suzanne LeSatz; sophomore Amy Jallo; and fresh­men Melissa Jones, Kelly Lindner, Emilie Johnson, Lisa Hodak and Carie Watco.

Coach Fisher comments about her team, "They may be young in years, but not in experience." "We're very excited about getting the chance to play both Coronado and Chaparral this year," Coach Fisher says, "Our team goals are to be undefeated in our dual mat­ches and to win Divisionals."

Good luck, tennis pros - we will be expecting exciting victories this year!!

athletes of the month

Lisa

You are probably very familiar with this month's Athlete of the Month, Lisa Duazo. Along with her participation in Arcadia's ath­letic program, Lisa is very active in school activities.

Lisa was not interested in ath­letics when she came to Arcadia as a freshman. She decided she wanted to get into shape and at the same time, she found that she enjoyed the competition. Lisa says that she was never influenced by anyone to compete in athlet ics; she decided on her own .

Above all sports, Lisa puts vol­leyball at the top of her list. "I like the people I have met and it's a challenging sport," she says. "It's fun and I like it because it isn't physically rough." Lisa played on the freshman and junior varsity teams, as well as the varsity team her junior and senior years. This year she was the co-captain of the T.N.T. team and was hon­ored by being chosen for the first team all league, division and city. Lisa also received a trophy for " Most Improved ."

When I asked Lisa who her fa­vorite athlete is, she told me it is Debbie Landreth Brown, who was the captain of the 1980 Olympic volleyball team . "Even with the 1980 Olympic Boycott, she is sti ll a champion," Lisa says. "I was coached by her at a volleyball camp this past summer and she helped me realize what it is to be a true athlete." Debby Brown cur­rently coaches the Arizona State University volleyball team.

Along with volleyball, Lisa also played basketball and softball her freshman, sophomore and junior years and is practicing for her up­coming basketball season right now.

In addition to her athletic parti­cipation at Arcadia, Lisa has a job coaching a 5th and 6th grade bas­ketball team at Hohokam Elemen­tary School. She says, "It's neat to see the other side; I never knew how much a coach has to go through." Lisa enjoys coaching "little people" and hopes to do more coaching in the future.

Lisa has one tip to give begin­ning athletes. "Stick with it," she says. "Ms. Haddock told me at the end of my senior volleyball season that she didn't think I

March 2, 1984

could make it to the varsity level when she saw me play my fresh­man year. Ha!!"

On top of athletics, Lisa is in­volved in Fellowship of Christian Athletes, Interact, Epsilon Chi and National Honor Society. Lisa plans to attend Northern Arizona University next year and major in engineering. She also hopes to try out for the volleyball team. Good luck to a super future Lisa!

Dan Dan Coyle, a 17-year-old senior

may be one of the best basketball players this school has ever seen. Many people compare Dan to for­mer Titan and Nebraska Cornhus­ker star Mike Naderer. Most say Coyle is better. His outstanding statistics and his leadership ability have proven Dan to be February's number one choice for Athlete of the Month.

With an 18-point and 6-assist average per game, Dan has proven himself to be the best point guard in the league and possibly in the state. The one problem that hin­ders Coyle the most is his history of what seems to be chronic ankle injuries. After a series of two an­kle injuries and timeless months of rehabilitation, Coyle overcame this problem until after the second game of his senior year when he went down with number three. But with extreme effort, weeks later he returned to the Titan squad and led the league in scoring.

His attitude and mental stability make Dan Coyle a brilliant athlete and a candidate for the Arcadian Hall of Fame!
