St. Luke's Program offers teens help

Robin Israel

Where do you go when you need help? St. Luke's Chemical Dependency for Children program is for

all ages and sexes under eighteen. It is for any kind of chemical abuse, from alcohol to heroin.

With parents' and patient's consent, the patient is taken to a psychiatrist to make sure if he really is addicted to drugs. After being diagnosed he will go on a three-month process of drug rehabilitation.

The patients are put in a co-ed group of twelve-twelve to a unit, two to a room. During the day, the unit and the rooms are unlocked. At night, the unit is locked while the rooms remain open.

As in AA, there are twelve steps taken to the rehabilitation of the adolescent. During this time they are taken to individual therapy with a "mother" (one therapist who works closely with the patient), group therapy with the other eleven people in the unit, occupational therapy, recreational therapy twelve hours a week, AA meetings at Crossroads, drug education, and attend school in the hospital from nine to noon on Monday through Friday.

Through a point system, the patient can earn the privileges to leave the hospital for certain amounts of time, attending dances, and several other activities.

If one of the patients leaves the hospital without permission, he is strip-searched when he returns, loses all his points, and is put in solitary confinement for however long he was gone.

For one year after his release from the hospital, there is after care. After care includes two family meetings a week, one AA meeting a week, one individual therapy meeting a week. Each outpatient must also have a sponsor who has been off drugs for at least one year. The sponsor helps the teen when there is no one else. He talks to and does things with the teen.

Cost is approximately twenty-five thousand for the three­Dlonth stay.

Meet Ron Cooper Kimberly Beckley

For the benefit of those Arcadian students who have no idea for their future careers, the Arcadian will be providing articles about successful, local people and their careers.

Our first article is with Ron Cooper, publisher of Arizona Living Magazine. In a recent interview, he answered several questions for us. How long have you been publisher of Arizona Living?

Over a year and a half, about twenty months. Did you create the magazine or did you purchase it?

I bought it. You said you are no longer editor,' that implies you were editor?

Yes, I was. I just hired a new editor. His name is Joe Kullman. What duties do you have as publisher?

Must have a smooth running staff and make sure things get done. I have the final say in the selling, editorial, and advertising departments. Have you always been interested in communications?

Always. I started in high school (West High). I was sports editor and editor for my high school newspaper. I worked for channel 12 also. I worked for an ad agency after high school. After that I worked several different magazines: account execu­tive and publisher for Phoenix Magazine, I also worked for Home and Garden. What college did you attend?

Arizona State University and University of Jerusalem. I was a broadcast major. How did you get started with the magazine? (What interested you?)

I was with Home and Garden but was thinking about starting my own magazine. I had heard that Arizona Living was up fo~ sale, so I bought it and changed the whole structure. What are your goals for this magazine?

To make it the biggest (most widely read) state magazine. We have changed the layout for the editorial section and have new plans for the magazine's graphics. Any advice or tips for young people interested in communica­tions?

I know what it is like trying to break into the business. You need strong communication skills and experience. To keep on top of things, you have to be competitive. Always remain humble because everything could be lost tomorrow. And be will­ing to help others get into the business.

Key Club begins a

• • reorganizing process

Girls in Key Club! What? Key Club for many years has been a guys' service club, but starting next year there are go­ing to be changes. Such chang­es are started with Mrs. Hol­land. She has volunteered to sponsor the club. Another change is that the club is going to be co-ed. At many other High Schools Key Club has al­ways been co-ed and Arcadia is going to change also. A Kiwan­is Club in Phoenix has asked to sponsor the club. There are many projects that ere going to be planned. Miss Collins was asked about the group of guys that use the Key Club name this year. She said she would not consider them a club, only a drinking organization, and she doesn't want them to use the Arcadia name. Try-outs for the club will be at the end of the year or the beginning of next. It should be interesting to see how the new club does.

Have a headache? Meet Mrs. Moss

Whenever you're at school with a headache, stomachache, or your entire body hurts, where do you go? Well, if you're like most Arcadians, you drag yourself over to see Mrs. Moss, our school nurse.

Mrs. Moss has been a school nurse for over 16 years. She has been with Arcadia a little over a year, and she loves it here. When asked what she thought about Arcadia, she an­swered, "It's a great school. The students and staff here have been really receptive of me."

When Mrs. Moss Isn;t nurs­ing, she likes to travel, fish, garden and cook. It takes a special kind of person to be a nurse. Not only does it take in­telligence but love and compas­sion for others.

Mrs. Moss says the most common reason a student visits her is for aspirin or TYlenol. Apparently, there are a lot of Arcadians out there with head-

aches and allergies. But how can she tell when a

student is faking? "After six­teen years of school nursing, I can recognize the fakers. Also, by a student's general over all physical appearance and ac­tions." According to Mrs. Moss, "The students are usual­ly honest with me. They are friendly and they are just a good group of students."

For the most part, Mrs. Moss loves her job. She enjoys working with Arcadians, for most of them have a goal and are striving to meet that goal. liThe ,campus here has an at­mosphere of pride; I feel com­fortable here."

The only complaint she has with her job is the location of her office. "It is sort of iso­lated from the central nucleus of the campus."

Well, Mrs. Moss, Arcadia is proud to have you as our school nurse. Thanks for all the TLC!

Candidates for Office must meet requirements

Kimberly Beckley

One of the hardest jobs but also fun is being a class officer. It is a good way of getting in­volved with the activities of our school. There are a few requirements though. These officers represent Arcadia and must attend many school func­tions.

To be Student Body officers, there are some more require­ments.

The President must be a se­nior in office. The Vice Presi­dent, Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary and Treasurer must be juniors or seniors while holding the of­fice.

Anyone who wants to run must take a test and pass it to be eligible to hold an office.

To be able to run for a class

The candidates must have sufficient knowledge of the Ar­cadia constitution and of rudi­mentary parliamentary proce­dure to pass a test administered by the student council. They also must be members of Stu- office, one must have a 2.5 dent Council. grade point average or better.

Not Necessarily the News We at the Arcadian have come to the startling realization that

there are two seniors at Arcadia who are so incredibly unknown and unrecognized that they have never been mentioned in our paper. After extensive research we finally found out their names. We therefore dedicate this column to them, the ultimate unmentioned Arcadians. We apologize for our past heartlessness.

Lisa Mann Lynn Cowie Lynn Cowie Lisa Mann Lisa Mann Lynn Cowie Lynn Cowie Lisa Mann Lisa Mann Lynn Cowie Don't worry, if you weren't mentioned in this issue, there's always next month to be included in this newsworthy column.

Editorial. • • There has been a lot of talk about the Supreme Court's latest

ruling on school searches. The court rules that school searches may be conducted without a warrant or plausible cause. The only requirement being that the search is reasonable under the cir­cumstances . This gives school officials an entirely open field for searching students.

The ruling is based on the case of New Jersey vs. T.L.O. The student involved in this case was taken to the assistant principal's office after being reported for smoking in the school bathroom. After denying that she smoked, an assistant principal opened her purse and found a pack of cigarettes. Upon finding the ciga­rettes, the principal went on to find rolling papers which are asso­ciated with marijuana use. Also found was a pipe and a list of names that appeared to be who bought the marijuana from her.

The report that the student had been smoking in violation of school rules and her denial of smoking at all provided reasonable suspicion to justify the search. The Supreme Court upheld this decision and gave public schools the right to search students with what they believe to be a reasonable suspicion.

The Supreme Court was enacted to protect our rights under the Constitution. Are they saying that students do not have the same rights as everyone else? The police do not even have the right to institute searches without probable cause. The only re­striction given by the Supreme Court is that the search be reason­able under specific circumstances . That could mean anything. It leaves the school with almost no boundaries.

High school students are in no way beneath the protection of the Constitution. The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution states specifically that no search may be instituted without prob­able cause. So how can the Supreme Court give schools this right that seems so much in violation of the Fourth Amendment? I leave the question up to you.

Letter to the Editor: Dear Editor: I have been so infuriated lately by the things that I have heard

come out of the mouths of fellow Arcadians. I have heard people refer to things illogical or dumb as being "jewish". This is not only offensive but just plain ignorant. When people realize that this has, indeed, offended someone, they pass it off with a laugh or a joke. Let me explain that this is not funny or humorous in any way. Other phrases I have heard range from "dirty jew" to "jewing someone down." These have no true meaning but show a degrading attitude. I suggest that these people, for once, open their minds and look beyond a person's appearance and religion. This is not a solitary case but is true of all types of prejudice. I

"realize that much of prejudice lies in the fact that many parents pass on their qualities, good or bad, to their children. But it is still not right to judge people on their race or religion. I have even been to basketball games where some adult Arcadia supporter has continuously shouted racist remarks at both the opposing teams and referees. Team spirit is one thing, but this is simply pathetic. I feel strongly that prejudice has no place in our society and I sincerely hope that people can find a new word for "stupid" that has no offensive meaning. Those of you having difficulty with this, here's some help: jerky, dumb, blockhead, dense, dimwitted, doltish, feeble-minded, half-witted, obtuse, simple-minded, thick-headed, slow-witted, and hebetudinous.

Sincerely yours, A very Crossman

Avoid the Hazards of Spring Break

Thank God, it's almost here. The vacation we have all been waiting for. Spring Break! Has there ever been a more uninhib­ited high school vacation? No stupid holidays to celebrate; no unwanted distant relatives from Illinois to deal with. (Obviously I'm not counting Easter, which is an entirely different story.) I'm talking about that fantastic week that is especially dedi­cated to you-the student with the fear of homework assign­ments. Okay, have all the fun you can, but remember the mistakes you made last year and try not to repeat them. - Like that hit and run acci-

dent in Tucson-you know, the one when you ran. Stay away from there; they're still looking for you.

-Or the eight-hour HiBob game that ended in an eight­hour prayer dedicated to the

porcelain god of the bath­room.

-Or the party you had for your 800 closest friends while your parents were out of town.

-Or the love of your life who was around for exactly sev­en days and then dropped off the entire face of the earth. Yes, your former Spring

Break experiences haven't been so beneficial, but that can change this year. Instead of be­ing a devious high school delin­quent, do constructive, innocent things. Try to find a Prom dress that 26 other girls won't have, or better yet, try to find a Prom date. Stick around the house, help your mom with the clean­ing, see a movie or two. And, well, if you take one thing I've said seriously, you're probably a geek, so forget it. I'll see you when I get back from LaJoUa.

Student of the Month

Erika This month, the Arcadian

has chosen Erika Gilsdorf as Student of the Month . She is a very active sen~or who present­ly feels as if she is coming down with a case of senioritis.

Erika has been involved with student senate, Epsilon, AFS, Varsity Club, student govern­ment, Interact, swimming and was a school twirler for three years.

Erika claims that the swim season was the highlight of her year. The girls' swim team was undefeated. They took first in city, divisionals and state. Erika was on the B relay team. The coaches, Brad Herring and Mike Peterson, were good ones and really influenced Erika, she said.

Swimming, Erika feels, is a good sport and has a good reputation. She hopes to con­tinue swimming in college. - -

Erika really likes the people she meets in school activities and feels that they are a good way to get involved. She also enjoys playing tennis and piano.

Next year, Erika is planning to attend NAU and then trans­fer to a college in California. There she would like to earn a Bachelor's Degree.

Jazz and Chorale Have Busy Year

This year the Jazz and Chor­ale have performed several concerts. On February 23rd, Chorale took part in a regional Music Festival at Westwood. The most recent concert was performed by both Jazz and Chorale on March 7th, in the auditorium. At the concert, there was a variety of music in­cluding: jazz, pop, blues, show music, classical and madrigals. To accompany the pop and show tunes music, there was dancing being performed by twelve couples. In the Jazz Band, there will be 18 instru­ments being played, which will take part in performing the music for this concert. We would just like to say that the Jazz and Chorale people are doing an excellent job, and we hope to see more of their up­coming events in April and May.

The Way It Is with Christy and Eileen

.Michael Jackson Has Bigfoot's Baby!!

Everything you know is wrong. Your mind has been polluted with false information disguised as "news", while elsewhere the gallant bearers of truth struggle to bring to the world's attention what is really going on. Forget the New York Times, drop your subscription to Newsweek, the Pulitzer Prize is a scam. We have found tbe definitive news journal of our time. This prestigious paper is known as The National Examiner. You may have brushed by this paper on the way to the check-out counter at Alpha Beta, thinking it to be only an exploitive rag, but we have found it to contain news articles and information that were somehow overlooked by the leading so-called "reliable" sources. Examine the following choice headlines and decide for yourself:

1. ERIK ESTRADA SAYS, "ALIENS FIXED MY TEETH!" 2. JEALOUS WIFE BOILS HUBBY ... ALlVE! 3. "KETCHUP CAN CURE CANCER", SAYS TOP DOC. 4. GIRL TRAPPED IN DESERT EATS OWN HEAD. S. BOY GEORGE NEXT KING OF ENGLAND? TOP PANEL

SAYS, "YES!" While the public at large troubles itself over the world political

situation, factual jewels like these go unheeded. Who cares about Lebanon and the threat of nuclear annihilation when the real newsmakers are eating their own heads and boiling their hubby's? I mean, look at this:

6. NANCY REAGAN WORLD HEA VWEIGHT WRESTLER IN HER SPARE TIME!

7. POSSESSED CABBAGE PATCH DOLL ATIACKS FAMILY IN TRAILER.

8. MY HOUSE WAS PAINTED BY SATAN. 9. MOM PREGNANT FOR 61 YEARS!

10. TEEN JUMPS INTO TIGER PIT AFTER GETIING BAD REPORT CARD.

- . These potboilers scream for recognition! Need we say more? Don't be deceived by the evening news. The

real action can be found at check-out stands everywhere.

THE WORD What would you do if you sat behind a xylophonist during lunch?

Laura HiI/-1 would eat fast and get out of the room so that it wouldn't attack me. Mark Dooley-Politely ask him to move. Those kind of people shouldn't be let out in public. Laura Young-I've always wanted to be best friends with a xylo­phonist; I guess I'd subtly try to get to know him. Beth Aul-I'd say that we could make beautiful music together. Erica Jones-I'd say thank you, that was vey nice. John Soldo-Tell Allen Revivo to keep his distance. Deg Davies- I would ask Ed Sipes because he knows everything.

By the way, a xylophonist is one who breaks wind loudly and frequently.

What would you do if your ear lobes were quintessentialized? Sean Rose-I'd start a trend and have my nose done too. Kent Lassen-Admit the problem; that's the first step. Nichole Cheeney-I'd go to the best quintessentialist in town and get them fixed. Steve Koskela-Have a Dr. Pepper, and consider my new prize. Robin Israel-I would either have it sewn back on or get a syn­thetic ear molded to my head (an ear like Spock's). Eric Rinehart-I'd stop wearing earrings like Dawn Marquess.

By the way, to be quintessentialized means to be extracted.

Athletes of the Month

Scott This month's Athlete of the

Month is Scott Watko. Recent­ly when given the opportunity, we managed to talk Scott into revealing a little about himself to us.

Scott has been playing soc­cer since he was seven years old. He has been playing here at Arcadia for all four years for a gand total of ten years.

He also told us that he was mainly influenced to play soc­cer by his dad. Scott's favorite player is Pele.

Scott's off-campus activities are practicipg soccer with an­other team. He also likes to ski when he gets the chance.

His future plans are to at­tend BYU while continuing to play soccer. He is trying for a scholarship now.

Scott told us that although it is Mr. Schaeffer's first year of coaching the soccer team, he is doing a good job.

His junior and senior year Scott was voted the Most Valu­able Player on the soccer team. He has also been captain of the team for his junior and senior years.

He told us that the soccer team did a lot better toward the end of the season.

Scott, like most seniors, is suffering from a slight case ot senioritis.

Good luck in the future, Scott. •

Lisa Interviewing Lisa McCreary

for Athlete of the Month wasn't easy. It's not that she didn't want to talk; it's just that she didn't want to talk about gymnastics. I eventually got through the wall of modesty though and we discussed her high school career as a gym­nast. Lisa started gymnastics at an early age but lost interest after only a few years. She started up again her first year of high school. She says she does it because it's fun and it keeps her in shape.

I couldn't get her to tell me how good she was but her placement in the first and only meet they've had yet this season can do that. She placed first on the beam and second on vault. She placed third all around and was the top placer on Arcadia's team. Her favorite events are the floor and uneven bars. She hopes to do better in these events in the next meet.

The gymnastics coach, Tom Cadigan, practices them pretty hard, but Lisa says she can han­dle it. The team practices about two and a half hours a day, four days a week. She had to quit her job but she was more than will­ing to make the sacrifice. When she's not practicing, Lisa en­joys sailing, dancing, camping and skiing. She is president of X-club, an off-campus fund raising club. She is also in­volved in several other clubs and activities.

It's Tryout Time Again

Cheer and Pom Tryouts By Loretta Wooten

Now that springtime is here, and the year is almost over, tryouts are being held to select the new porn and cheer lines for next year. In order to tryout for either line, participants must have passed all subjects the preceding semester with an overall grade point average of 2.5 or above. Also, the participant must not have received any D's or F's her most recent report card. All participants will be judged on their school citizenship, attitude, and behavior by her teachers and the administration. If the par­ticipant does not pass these three preliminary requirements she will be ineligible to tryout.

Chosen for next year are: Kristen Calvert, Jill Cederlof, Kim Coar, Katie Coyle, Kendall Denton, Christine O'Brien, Tamara Orcutt, Lroi Reiman, Lisa Shelly, Jessica Teisch, Gina Viliborghi and Stephanie Walker. Congratulations to these girls and Good Luck next year.

The tryouts for Varsity and JV cheer are being held following spring break. Workshops will be held the week of April 8th through the 12th where the senior cheerleaders will teach all par­ticipants a cheer and some chants and they will demonstrate jumps and gymnastics. Depending upon the number of par­ticipants, a first cut is planned for April 17th, with second cuts on April 19th. Along with passing the three grade and citizen­ship requirements mentioned above, all girls will be given points for attending the workshops. Also, this year's Varsity Cheer captain Loretta Wooten and co-captain Christy Bulkely will conduct short interviews with the girls. Participants will be judg­ed on voice, enthusiasm, precision of movement, and jumps. Good Luck to all those girls wishing to tryout. The effort is well worth it!

Prom is Near , Hey, Arcadia! It's Prom

Teacher of the Month

Laura Leal

Mrs. Riddle The teacher of the month for

March is Mrs. Riddle. She has taught for 26 years, 20 of those years at Arcadia. She started teaching in Oklahoma for four years. She teaches one fresh­man and three senior English classes.

She says the best thing about teaching is the caliber of stu­dents. The worst thing about teaching is the grading. Like students, teachers have home­work also.

Mrs. Riddle has many hob­bies such as sewing, oil paint­ing, bee-keeping, and making stained glass. She has a hus­band and two children.

When asked what was the funniest thing that ever hap­pened to her, she replied, "I was teaching third person singular pronouns. I was giv­ing examples when Mr. Bruins walked in and caught me say­ing he, she .. .it." Boy, did he have a surprised look on his face.

At the end of this year Mrs. Riddle plans to reti;e. While we're in school next year she will be enjoying such countries as Australia and New Zealand. She will also do more garden­ing and reading.

Thanks for being there, Mrs. Riddle. Arcadia will miss you! Hope you enjoy traveling. By the way, if you don't mind picking us up some souvenirs, our addresses are ...

There will be a live band, pic­tures, a lot of food and lots of fun!

Athletes feats Basketball

"At the beginning of the year I' we were a very inexperienced ,

I team. We only had two returning players. We were tied for last place in our league." These words by 1st year Varsity Basket­ball Coach, Richard Y ee, re­ferred to the beginning of this year's basketball season. But by the end of the year it was a differ­ent story.

The Titan Basketball Team finished 2nd in their league with a 6-4 record and most importantly, they made the playoffs.

In their frrst playoff game on February 20th, the Titans beat Camelback with a 64-63 win. Sean Lake was high scorer and Duane Behrmann was high re­bounder.

Then the Titans had a more difficult feat to accomplish. Al­though it may seem unfair, their next two playoff games on Feb­ruary 21st and 22nd were to be against the top two teams in the State. No other team had to do this. Besides that, Arcadia also had to win at least one of the two games to stay in the playoffs. But Arcadia stuck it out until the very end.

Unfortunately, the Titans lost to Alhambra (they took the State title this year) 77-65 and in their last night of play lost 67-55 to Carl Hayden.

"They really held on until the end and we're looking forward to an even better team next year." Coach Yee says that there . will be seven returning players next year which will assure a very str0!!8.team.

At the Winter Sports Banquet on February 25th, three players received recognition for their skills. Sean Lake received an award for "Most Valuable Play­er." Sophomore Mark Forman­ek received an award for "High Rebounder". SteVe Rosholt re­ceived the "Outstanding Hustle"­award.

The J. V. basketball team fm­ished with a 9-10 record winning their last eight games. The Fresh­man team fmished with an 11-5 record.

Girls' Tennis The 1985 girls' Varsity tennis

team has been having a spectac-

ular season so far. Their first match was in the beginning of February against Alhambra. Their record so far stands 4-0.

Mrs. Fisher says the girls have a very positive attitude this year. The girls are defending metro-division champions, which has increased their op­timism.

Practice takes up a good part of their afternoon. From 2:40 to 4:40, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday they are out on the courts striving for excellence. Their matches are played on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and challenge matches are on Fri­day.

The varsity players for 1985 are Catherine Withers, Monica Young, Michelle Rigberg, Julie Bowe, Dee Dee Gage, and Jo­hanna Serror. The J.V. players are Babs Howard, Melissa Jones, Suzanne LaSatz, Kelly Lindner, Tina Lyingberg, Jen Maxwell, Beth Belfer, Michelle Houmont, Yvett Mickle, Tanya Mitchell, Jodi Rigberg and Allison Turner.

Arcadia wishes these teams continued success throughout this season.

Wrestling Even though they finished

the year with a 1-6-1 record, Arcadia's Wrestling Team has an extremely bright future ahead of them.

Because the team consists mainly of freshmen and sopho­mores, approximately 18

. wrestlers will be returning next year. Of the twelve athletes who attended Divisionals, ten are coming back next year. This assures a strong team for the next three years.

"We (coach Dino Barber and I) worked the team really hard. Wrestling is a tough sport but we had a really good time," comments coach Mike Barone.

Three of the team's top wrestlers could not continue with the season which made it tough. Ed Elliot, a superior athlete, was unable to finish the season. John Belnap also was not able to continue the season because of an injury.

Sophomore Ron Miller was just beginning to look really

tough when he broke a bone in his ankle. It required surgery and he was on crutches for sev­eral months. This was a bad break but Ron still has two years to develop his wrestling ability.

On the brighter side of things is the fact that two out­standing men on the team gave a show at Divisionals. Andrew Nabity and Nick Rice both placed 5th at Divisionals which is a very awesome accomplish­ment.

Another wrestler whose name should be mentioned is sophomore T. J. Weinrich. Throughout the season he gave it his all. There is no doubt that Arcadia will be hearing more about this talented and dedicated young man.

At the Winter Sports Ban­quet on February 24th, three awards were given for out-

• standing wrestlers. The award for "Most Valuable Wrestler" was given to Andrew Nabity. "Outstanding Wrestler" was Nick Rice and "Most Im­proved" was given to fresh­man Jeff Caroli.

Congratulations Wrestlers! We will be looking forward to seeing a tough team next year.

Track With goals of becoming the

City Meet Champs and qualify­ing athletes for Division and State Meets, the 6O-member Arcadia Track Team is ready to become one of the toughest in the State.

Head coach Dave Archibald helps to unify the team and give them that "winning edge". The three assistant coaches also help the team to excel in certain areas. Doug McSpadden works with distance runners. Jeff Ec­cles trains the throwers which probably compose the strongest area on the team this year. First year coach Bob Moretti excels in coaching Boy sprinters and jumpers.

But even with Arcadia's coaching expertise, a good team caimot be formed without tal­ented athletes. Fortunately, this year's track team has no short­age of talent.

Because this year's throwing team is so fantastic, it is not sur­prising that our best athletes are found here.

Jan Rubin, who excels at shot and discus, showed her amazing throwing ability at Ar-

cadia's first meet on March 1st. During this meet against Camelback, Jan broke the school discus record with a throw of 111.51;4.

In this meet, the girls whipped Camelback 67-41. Un­fortunately, the boys were de­feated. The meet, although, was a valuable experience be­cause it was an introduction to competition.

Jeff Dana is a young and up­coming thrower who is on his way to an outstanding season.

Senior Madeline Manley, who was recently accepted to West Point, also is a spectacular discus thrower.

Bob Fortner, Eric Reade, Kimi Haynes, and Brittin Skel­ton have very promising times in distances as well.

Junior Don Graves leads the team in pole vaulting. This is a very amazing feat considering that pole vaulting is such a highly demanding sport.

Ken Belnap and Karen Pom­erning are considered to be the most versatile on the team. Ken placed 7th in the State Decath­lon last year and is a strong ad­dition to the team. In her first year, Karen Pomerning com­petes in sprint, long jump and hurdles.

Sophomore Kim Westley has a bright future ahead of her in sprinting.

Another pleasant addition to the team is foreign exchange student Marit Kommedal from Norway.

Baseball It's baseball season once

again and the Titans are off to an even start. Tuesday, Febru­ary 26, the Titans played Shad­ow Mountain at their home field. We played a good game but lost 6-2.

Arcadia played Camelback Friday, March 1st. The Titans played an awesome game against the Spartans. The final score was 10-6 with the win go­ing to Mike Lewis, who pitched the game.

Baseball is one of the most popular sports in the United States as well as Japan, but not so popular here at Arcadia. That's wrong. The team has been practicing for ' months every day after school and they deserve just as much recogni-

Gymnastics They have a 0-2 record but the girls' gymnastics team is im­proving quickly.

Under Coach Tom Cadigan, the girls have high hopes of go­ing to State.

The eighteen-member team is led by Lisa McCreary (Athlete of the Month), Sonya Corey, and Adrianne Stolworthy, the only three girls on the team who compete in the all-around com­petition.
