Substance abusers warned of danger

Arcadia Recognized

Eight outstanding high schools have been named semifinalists in the High School Division of the 1985 Arizona Secondary School Re­cognition program. The selec­tions were chosen from 28 en­tries from around the state by citizens representing a cross section of Arizona. Later this month, reviewers will name state winners. Semifinalists are: Arcadia High School, Buena High School, Chandler High School, Dobson High School, Mountain View High School, Holbrook High School, Santa Rita High School and Tempe High School.

During my years in high school, I have heard many teenagers confidently pro­phesy how they will never take drugs or alcohol.

The strange fact is that many who cut down this be­havior so strongly are the same ones who are trying it the next week.

"I just wanted to see what it was like. I won't do it again." If a person really means this , things are looking good. But it is surprising to know how many people continue the use of drugs or alcohol. This is where the problem starts.

The ironic part is even those who do drugs as a habit con­tinue to reassure concerned friends and family that they will not make it a habit. Many times students don't even real­ize that they have made it a common practice in their life.

We at the Arcadian would like to present an image of how drugs and alcohol can affect your life. The following experiences are ones I have encountered. They are all true.

Chris, 15, was a sophomore '-----\·n l%h ~Q\QQl wh ~-

countered his first experience with drugs. Problems at home and the desire to be "cool" caused him to become more and more involved with drugs. His girlfriend broke up with him and he decided to quit. But Chris did not learn his lesson the first time. He married the girl and had two boys. He went to college and had almost realized his dream of being a pharmacist when the drug problem, for no ap­parent reason, reoccurred. He deprived 15 patients of a painkiller which he used for himself. He was sent to jail and his wife divorced him. Not only did Chris lose his wife

menial jobs, such as kitchen work.

Jana had been drinking since she was ten. The real problem with Jana 's drinking did not occur, though, until she was 15. Driving without a permit or license, Jana was driving with her friends on a Friday night.

But tonight was different . For a few seconds, Jana's in­toxication took hold of her and she lost track of what was going on. Jana drove into on­coming traffic at about 45 miles an hour. She hit a young man driving home from work. The man today is paralyzed for life. Jana is my best friend.

The accident that occurred so many Friday nights ago will haunt her forever.

The external injuries she had are now gone and forgot­ten. But the internal injuries she has will live as permanent scars and reminders of what she did.

Mr. Phillips to coach Titans

~

"I want to increase the number of players on the freshman, J.V., and varsity football teams and instill a winning attitude on all levels." These are the words of

Arcadia's new football coach, Jay Philips.

Mr. Phillips is presently a Business Education teacher in his first year at Arcadia. He has been teaching Business and coaching football at Saguaro High School for the past sixteen years.

During his years at Saguaro, thirteen of the sixteen football teams Mr. Phillips coached had winning seasons.

He plans to increase the discipline on the teams and strengthen Freshman and J. V. teams to assure good varsity teams in the future.

Mr. Phillips has been in­terested in football throughout his whole life. He played foot­ball in high school and receiv­ed a scholarship to New Mex­ico State University. Although he decided on A.S.U instead.

Mr. Phillips is married. He and his wife, Linda, have a twelve-year-old son named Jayson. Besides teaching and coaching, Mr. Phillips mainly enjoys hunting and fishing.

With Arcadia's talented young football players, Mr. Phillips feels the football pro­gram at Arcadia is on its way up.

TWIRP

ATTENTION all GIRLS!!! Do you know what February means? Not just Valentine's Day but also T.W.I.R.P. That means girls ask the guy (also means the girls pay). What is T.W.I.R.P? It is a chance for you girls to ask that cute guy you've had your eye on since school started for a nice, fun date (no strings attached)! It is eight dollars per couple and is held in the Arcadia gym (with great decorations)!! There will be a D.J. or possibly a band.

Allor" this will be held on Feb­ruary 23 at 8:00 to 12:00.

What is this for? It is to raise money for the Junior class so that they can put on Prom. This means if there is a good turn out, Prom won't be in the school cafeteria. If you would like to help set up for T.W.I.R.P. contact lIsa Hohn. It would be greatly ap­preciated.

If you want to have a great time, ask that special guy before someone else gets him!

If Arcadia is to survive, we should learn to get involved. Show interest in athletic, artistic, and academic events. Show your support for your school by showing a little enthusiasm. Get IN­VOLVED!!

By definition, morality is being in accord with the principles of proper conduct. More specifically, sexual conduct. When viewed this way, the word "moral" doesn't seem to be in the average teenager's vocabulary. Why have the standards of to­day's young adults dropped to an all time low?

These days virgins are an endangered species. A loss of virgin­ity used to be the exception; now it seems to be the rule. This often stems from peer pressure.

Speaking from the female point of view, an awful lot is ex­pected of the girl, even on a first date. A lot of guys are obsessed with the need to be more experienced than their friends. This type of guy does not care what he has to do or who he has to hurt along the way to get to the top and stay there. To him, it's just a game.

The guy is not at fault in every situation. The slack-off in girls' values is also very apparent. There are girls who don't care one way or the other about morals. This could be caused by the fact that they don't have a very good self image. Another cause of this insecurity could be the fact that a girl is a virgin and all of her friends aren't. A girl may feel self conscious about her lack of sexual experience.

The 80's has proven to be a difficult decade in which to be a teenager. When there is pressure mounting from all sides, it may seem easier to give in to it. But don't compromise your values for something your friends consider normal. Make your own decisions. Wait until you are ready to handle the situation as a commitment, not as a game.

Arcadians abandon their "Kids" Late last night my doorbell

rang. When I got to the door there was no one there, but I caught a glimpse of a little girl dashing down the street. On the doorstep was a basket.

"Please take care of my baby. The pressures are too heavy for me and I can't take it any longer," read the note.

I picked up the blanket halfway and discovered, to my horror, a Cabbage Patch Doll! The little girl that I saw run­ning down the street must have been the mother.

Well, the girl was gone, now what? Should I take the doll in myself, find it another home, leave it on the neighbor's doorstep or leave it outside to fend for itself?

I was tempted to just leave it out there. Then her red pig­tails and freckled face caught my eye. I picked her up and took her inside. What the heck? We don't need anymore juvenile delinquents.

I changed her clothes, fed her some milk and put her to bed. I'd find her another home in the morning.

As I was rocking her to sleep, looking into her blue eyes, I realized how incredibly ugly she was. I decided it wasn't the little girl's fault for leaving her here. I understood the pressures she was referring to. She was referring to the burdens of having an ugly baby. Nobody in their right mind wants an ugly baby.

AJI of a sudden the gro­tesqueness of the child overtook me. I wrapped her up, put her in her basket, crept outside, slid the basket on the neighbor's doorstep, rang the doorbell, and stepped around the corner of the house.

As I stood there, glued up against the wall, waiting for someone to answer the door, I realized my human indecency. What am I doing? I'm aban-

doning a child. Just because someone else abandoned it before I did gave me no reason to act on this sort of 'Sick behavior. What was I thinking? What is becoming of me? What is the world coming to? I have to say, with this kind of goings on, I am ashamed to be an American.

What if word got to the Russians that all our children were abandoning their Cab­bage Patch Kids? They would probably realize that the United States of America was giving up, falling apart. They'd notice that the nation as a whole was becoming weaker and weaker. They would probably issue an attack and the US of A would be no more.

I peeked around the corner. No one had come out yet. Quickly, I picked up the baby and her basket, took it home and let her sleep with me.

Student of the Month

The amazing lIsa Hohn was voted by the Arcadian as Student of the Month, and I mean AMAZING. When I first approached lIsa about her interview for Student of the Month I thought I knew a lot about her. It turns out (excuse the cliche) I was only at the tip of the iceberg. lIsa has been involved with everything from Interact to learning to fly air­planes.

To start off with, as a freshman she was in A.F.S., X-country, was the freshman V.P. In her Sophomore year she was President of her class, a member of Interact and Latin Club, and attended

Any town , and was on J.V. cheer. She was also a volunteer at St. Joseph's Hospital in the Labor, Delivery and Pulmonary care units. Now in her Junior year, lIsa Hohn is again President of her class . She had done volunteer city work and she has worked for the Phoenix Symphony.

As far as hobbies go, lIsa loves to ski. It is one of her favorite sports along with scuba diving and deep sea fishing. lIsa also hopes to get her pilots license by this sum­mer. When I asked lIsa if she wanted to say anything to Ar­cadia she replied, "I am so proud of the class of '86!"

lIsa has been working very hard to organize this years T.W.I.R.P. and Homecoming to make it the best Arcadia has ever seen. After working three years as an Arcadian leader, lIsa is going to take a deservedly fun vacation . in Europe this summer.

As a closing, at the Arcadian we have concluded that Arcadia is lucky to have lIsa. I say we all stand up and give lIsa Hohn a round of applause. She is a faithful leader who has made many sacrifices for Arcadia.

lisa, we're really proud to have you at Arcadia!

camping and study of endan­gered species. She attended the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana with a B.S. in Biology Education. She also attended Washington University with a Masters in Secondary Education. She en­joys teaching biology as well as physical science. She also likes to combine science with outdoor education.

Mrs. Kubida used to teach junior high students and the biggest change with teaching high school is the realization that high school students are so much closer to college and jobs. "All of their courses are for graduation credits so their academic record is so much more important to them than it is to junior high

students", she said. "Also, the good and bad habits developed these four years are so much more critical to success in their jobs or college careers."

She enjoys teaching here, and enjoys the students and staff. She says, "The students here are very cooperative and friendly, and the staff has been extremely receptive and supportive." She is very impressed by the enthusiastic involvement with the academics and activities at Arcadia.

Mrs. Kubida said she was flattered to be chosen "Teacher of the Month." Congratulations! We hope you are enjoying teaching at Ar­cadia.

The Word This month we asked several students what they would do if

they found an ecchymosis on their date. Our responses were: E.G. Carlstrom, senior-Tell her to go out with Steve Rosholt ... he'll know what to do to it! Jeff Lindemann, sophomore-I'd try to be understanding and not stare ... 1 know how I feel when people look at mine. Dave Burkett, senior-I don't have any dates. Eric Hitchcock, senior-Carefully remove it with my tongue. Leah Hirsch, sophomore-I'd lick it off. John McCutcheon, alumni-I'd make her take a bath in sulfuric acid. Mike Acklin, sophomore-Give her a couple more. Les~ Brown, sophomore-Throw it out the door. George Trezos, senior-I would give Christy B. a steak, put her in a room with Tina before an infection occurred! Right L.W. Mr. Kay, unknown-I would set her up with Bill Rosenfeld, because he has ecchymosis in his jeans too!! Ha ha Bill! Eriq Leonhart, sophomore-I'd politely ask him if I could have it to give it to Sarah, because Lord knows that she needs one! Nichole Cheeney, sophomore-Pick it off and step on it! Ed Sipes, junior-It depends on where I found it. Mark Hunsaker, senior-Wrap her up in Saran Wrap and send her to Siberia. Tona Edwards, sophomore-Find a new date. John Reese, sophomore-I'd cut it and suck it so it wouldn't spread. Jill Cederlof, sophomore-Remove it! Or scream! Eric Rinehart, junior-Use protection! Carol Brown, senior-I'd say "EEECK", and then I'd run away! Deg Davies; junior-I enjoy it so much, I'd give her another one. Mindi Smith, sophomore-I would say, "Oh how cute!"

By the way, ecchymosis means a bruise!!!!!

Athletes feats Basketball

Playing in the Phoenix Union High School District Holiday Tournament and being in aproximately two tough games may be hard work, but the Arcardia Titan Basketball Team has given their best effort to make this a successful season.

The team has faced some very tough competition recently. On January 8th, they confronted Alhambra, who was currently ranked 3rd in the State. The Titans lost 45 - 75 to their opponent. Dan Colson led the rebounds as he took eight.

The Titans were up in the next game they played. They pounded on the Maryvale Panthers as they won 85 - 66 at Maryvale. Unfortunately when they played Agua Fria on January 15th, Arcardia lost 78 - 66.

It is only every once in a while that an athlete manages to be high scorer for almost every game. But a certain Junior here at Arcardia has led almost every game as high scorer including the three most recent games. If you're wondering who this amazing athlete is check over this month's "Athlete of the Month. " Sean Lake has done exactly this. Not only is Sean a tremendous scorer, but he is also a fantastic rebounder as well. His leadership and talent have brought the team together this year.

Sean also showed his talent at the Phoenix Union High School District Holiday Tournament. He led his team both in points and rebounds as he scored 56 points and 29 rebounds in the 3 games played.

Of eight teams, Arcardia placed 2nd in the

consolation bracket. The Titans played Central, Cortez, and Maryvale. They were barely edged 68 - 69 by a last minute shot by Central. The Titans recoevered and coasted to an easy win over Cortez 60 - 48. In their last game, Maryvale beat Arcardia 71 - 55.

Troy Kochis did a tremendous job scoring 27 points throughout the games while Mark Marmanek had 24 rebounds. Duane Behrmann showed his skill as he scored 21 points and the same number of rebounds.

Coached by Richard Yee, the team expects to do better as the season porogresses. The trainer is David Wohl. Assistant trainer is Tammi Smith, and Statisticians are Tony Nowak and Claudia Higgs.

Wrestling With the experienced coaches such as Mick Barone and Dino Barber, the 1984-85 wrestling team is bound to have a win­ning season. Even though the wrestlers started the season a little slow and currently have a 1-3-1 record, the team has re­cently begun to show out­standing improvement. Con­sidering that it is a young team with only two seniors, the eighteen member team wres­tles tough.

"Our goal is to be a respect­able team," comments Coach Mick Barone. Coach Barone, from Montana, has wrestled for about six years. He placed second in Montana State

Wrestling Championships and third in Tri-State.

Coach Dino Barber is the two time NCAA All-American Powerlifting Champion. He benches about 560 and is the weight training coach for the Oakland A's. The two coaches both taught at Saguaro previ­ously and this is their first year at Arcadia.

In addition to the experi­enced coaching given by these two men, the team has some very respectable athletes. Anrew Nabity Ed Elliot are the main forces which carry the team to vic­tory.

When the team recently at­tended the McClintock Invita­tional, Andrew Nabity placed 5th. Six of the sixteen teams attending the meet ranked top 10 in the state so it was ob­viously a tough meet.

Wrestling Divisionals will be held on Feb. 8th. Good luck wrestlers!

SOCCER The Arcadia Soccer team

has done a relatively good job this season. They have played a total of six games, of which they won one, lost four, and tied one. Their toughest game was against Gilbert, when the game went into overtime and the final score was 5 -3 Gilbert. The games are played at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thurs­days. The players have a lot of talent. With the help of Coach Schaeffer and some assistants, they have the potential of becoming a fine "team." The starters on the team are: Scott Watko, center half-back; Jason Shorb, left full-back; Steve Koskola, sweeper/center forward; Bill Bran, right full­back; Jeff Brookher, sweeper; Jason Price, left wing; Jason Glasner, right wing; Kevin Ford, right half-back, Scott Hammond, goal keeper; Tommy Dane, left half-back. The remaining players are: Steve Abt, Perry Brooks, Mark Marahello, Kent Lassen, Buddy Hammond, Mike Tassoni, Dave

Burkett, Mia Onodera, and Kehli Wardell. Well, good luck with the rest of the season, and we hope to see many of you next year doing an even better job.

Athletes of the Month

Andrea The outstanding girl athlete

for February is Andrea Marin. She is on the varsity softball team and her position is pitcher. Last summer, she pitched for a team that placed first in metro Phoenix, first in Arizona . and third in the Rocky Mountain Regionals.

When asked what she thought about this year's varsity softball team, she replied, "They're a young team, but if they all stay with it, they could be great."

Miss Hughes is the coach of the softball team, and Andrea's father is a part time coach to the team.

Andrea attributes much of her success to both her mother and her father. "If it weren't for them, I don't know where I'd be."

Andrea hopes to receive a scholarship for softball and plans to major in sports medicine. She enjoys playing volleyball and basketball also.

Andrea is a true credit to Arcadia, especially to the varsity softball team.

Month. Sean's main interest is basketball, which he has played for several years. His brother was the one who in­spired him to play basketball.

The very first week of basketball, Sean was nomin­ated player of the week. After graduating from Arcadia, he hopes to get a basketball scholarship in Utah. In fact, Sean likes basketball so much, he even sleeps with one! Sean's best game. was against Central. He liked it because of the fact that he prefers to listen to soul music and breakdance like Andrew Hartsfield! Like most people, Sean has his "Idols". When I asked him who his "Idols" were, he said in a convincing voice, "Mike Jor­dan and Steve Rosholt, but I want to be just like Steve."

During the summer, he en­joys water skiing and swim­ming. In the winter he does a lot of snow skiing at Alta. He also enjoys underwater basket weaving year round. Along with all of Sean's hobbies, he has a little side one which is collecting "curvature"­things from different states, even in foreign countries-if he ever makes it there! Well, good luck, Sean, and we hope you make it to Utah.

Valentine's Day

How sweet how sentimental, it's Valentine's Day,

Another reason to eat, isn't that what they say?

Eat, eat more candy more cake

until all you have left is a FAT stomach ache.

It's hurting so bad you lay down and dream,

I can't understand, what does Valentines mean?

Your mind starts to wonder and you begin to think,

a heart appears fluorescently pink.

It's the time of year when a couple's love will enhance,

the fighting will stop and in comes romance.

Some see stars, some think it's stupid,

others believe there is a midget named Cupid.

He supposedly sits on a cloud in the sky,

shooting his arrow putting love in your eye.

I have to believe that Cupid is there,

because love doesn't start from a friendly affair.

Even if you think this poem is gay,

I wish you a Happy Valentine's Day!!!
