IntroducingMs. Collins

These days there are lots of newfaces floating aroun d Arcadia. Oneof these people is Ms. Brenda Collins, who is filling the positionvacated by Dr. Pratt - AssistantPrincipal.Ms. Collins has a very impressivebackground. She received undergraduate degrees from the University of Minnesota, and theUniversity of London, where shestudied speech, theater, communications and English. She wenton to receive a Masters in secondary school administration fromthe University of Wisconsin andHarvard University. After graduation, Ms. Collins taught Englishfor four years in Minnesota, beforemoving to Scottsdale where sheserved as Assistant Principal atCoronado High, prior to her recentmove to Arcadia.

As far as we know, Arcadia hasnever had a female administrator.Ms. Collins did not seem to feelthat she will have much impact oneway or the other as far as this issueis concerned, but she did commentthat, "Mothers do as much disciplining as fathers do," so parents,faculty and students should findbeneficial results from herpresence. Her duties at Arcadiawill be similar to Dr. Pratt's, with afew changes. She will be in chargeof registration, discipline and attendance (Student and EducationalServices), while Mr. Bruins willassume, for the most part, the responsibility of handling student activities.Ms. Collins seems happy tomake the switch from Coronado toArcadia. She finds little differencebetween the schools, except she didnotice that the smaller size of Arcadia makes for a quieter atmosphere. She hopes to "d o a goodjob for the students and staff ofArcadia," and someday become aprincipal.Ms. Collins is definitely a breat hof fresh air in Arcadia's office! Dr.Pratt will be missed, but hopefully,as our new assistant principal commented, 'I hope everyone will takethe opportunity to come by and introduce themselves."Welcome to Arcadia, Ms. Collins!!

One year later AHSis alive and wellA little over a year ago, one could walk around the Arcadia Highcampus and sense that something was going on. Posters and flyers wereplastered to the walls, advertising school board meetings, rallies, andArcadia's greatness. TV cameras and newspaper reporters were almostcommonplace. Students, teachers, and administrators were both apprehensive and preoccupied. A decision was going to be made - wouldArcadia remain opened, or would it be closed?Well, here we are. The School Board voted to keep Arcadia open, anda year later, leaders report thhat the school is alive and well. One problem anticipated by many was the transition of former Scottsdale Highstudents to Arcadia. This problem was negligible, though, mainly due tothe fact that very few Scottsdale students chose to attend AHS. Dr. Prattcommented, "The way the Scottsdale and Arcadia stud ent have worked

together to help make AHS an even better school was a positiveoutcome of the closure."Another worry was that Arcadia's enrollment would dropquickly, which would put Arcadia in danger of closure onceagain. Mr. Mike Geddes, one of the leaders of the fight to saveArcadia, has done a great deal of research on enrollmentprojections. He explains, "I n the past year, enrollment atArcadia has risen approximately 11070." Initially, manyScottsdale students chose to attend Saguaro High. Now, however, many would like to attend Arcadia, but can't for variousreasons. Dr. Pratt asks that the District officials reconsider theireligibility policy in view of the fact that many Scottsdale Highstudents who transferred to other schools in the district andwould now like to come to AHS, be permitted to do so and retaintheir eligibility.Mr. Bruins believes that, "the students have assimilated well at Arcadia, and have taken an active role in plays, sports and student gov't.There is no anti-Scottsdale feelings amont the student of Arcadia." Hewent on to say, however, that there's "entirely too much dialogue aboutschool closure in general." He thinks that there is no reason to close anyschool, and therefore no cause for discussion of the issue.Mr. Jack Lake, the president of the Arcadia Parent/Faculty Organization and another leader of the "Save Arcadia" fight, echoed thethoughts of many when he said, "Arcadia is alive, well, and healthy,and will continue to be so for many, many, many years."Mr. Geddes commented that Arcadia has benefited from the goingson in the past 14 months. "The school unity and spirit among parents,faculty and students has greatly increased, and as students and parentsrealize the tremendous educational and extra curricular opportunitiesavailable at AHS, enrollment should continue to grow. Hopefully allinvolved with Arcadia will continue to make the community aware of allpossible aspects of our strength, both for students, and for the surrounding neighborhood."

New Faces arrive at ArcadiaAs you are well aware of, Arcadia had many staff membersretire in December. Therefore, wehave many new faculty members to

welcome this semester.In administration, Miss BrendaCollins replaced Dr. Pratt. In theoffice, Mrs. Pat Buchanan is ournew receptionist.

Not necessarily the newsWe ar the ARCADIAN try very hard to keep you informed of up-tothe-month information. However, many of you don't get recognition veryoften. We therefore dedicate this column to you, the unmentioned Arcadian. Below is a list of Arcadians who haven' t made the news recently, butwho deserve to see their name in print.

Page 2Editorial. Often, it's hard to think of a pertinent topic for an editorial. Thismonth , however, I had very little difficulty! You see, it's Tuesday morning, January 3. Not only that, but it's 8:45 A.M. I shouldn't be gettingup for at least two hours. My mood this morning brings to mind twopolicies of the Scottsdale School District which are both senseless anddetrimental to our education.First is the fact that the Scottsdale School District had eight days (notcounting weekends) for Winter Vacation this year. This vacation wasshortened at the last minute because the board felt it was too long. As aresult, we eneded up with one of the shortest vacations of any District inthe state, and probably the shortest Christmas vacation in the history ofArcadia High.

This occurence didn't help to improve the learning atmosphere. Thepurpose of a vacation is for the family to be together, and for studentsto relax and enjoy themselves. It is also a time to catch up on studies.For English IVAP students it's a time to start preparing a researchpaper, and it should be an opportunity for everyone to prepare for finals(ha ha). This year there was definitely not enough time to accomplish allof this. About all Winter Vacation gave anyone time to do was catch upon the soaps, open and return Christmas gifts, and gripe about howArcadian's vacation was so much shorter than some of the other schools'vacations.This brings me to my second gripe. Most school districts in the country hold first semester finals in December. This makes a great deal ofsense because: a.) who remembers what they learned in the fall by thetime January rolls around?, b.) who studies over Winter Vacation forfinals?, and c.) who wants to worry about finals over Winter Vacation?Gosh, I could barely remember my locker combination this morning,let alone four months of econ, which I never understood in the firstplace!! January is a time to start fresh, and dragging first semester out'till the middle of the month causes frustration. They should get it overwith in one clean swoop, so that students can relax over vacation andstart fresh with the New Year .These two policies are very easy to change. All the state has to do ispass an act which legally sets a uniform calendar for all public schools inArizona. Intelligent legislators will hopefully instate a 2 week WinterVacation (at least) and finals before Christmas.An easier route would be for the Scottsdale School Board to smartenup and change t he policies all by themselves. This would take very littleeffort and make a lot of people very happy.Unfortunately, like all good, obvious, simple ideas, these too willprobably never be acted upon. (At least not in the Scottsdale SchoolDistrict.)Here is one alternative to the present calendar now used in the Scottsdale School District:1984 - 85 CalendarFirst Semester:August 20 - December 21 = 18 weeks.days off: November 9 - Veterans Day

November 22 - 23 - ThanksgivingTotal 87 daysSecond Semester:January 14 - May 24 = 18 weeksdays off: February 8 - Washington's B-DayMarch 18 - 22 - Spring BreakApril 5 - Good FridayTotal 88 days hat's your problem, Arcadia? I've noticed that very few Arcadianshave been attending the athletic activities. That is a put-down to theplayers who sacrifice their time and effort to represent this school.A game is much more exciting when the crowd is going wild, cheeringfor the team to gain the winning score. The playerg will play harderknowing that the school is behind them all the way.Don't you think it is about time you supported your school teams andwent to see your classmates destroy the rivals and be a part of theirvictory?Remember the upcoming sports as well as the present sport s this season. It's about time we have the grandstands filled with Arcadian's

instead of hearing the opposing team's fans cheering.

Letter from Dr. PrattTo the Editor of The Arcadian andto All Arcadians:

What a privilege and pleasure ithas been to have had the opportunity to be associated with all ofyou as weU as those who havepreceeded you here at Arcadia.I have been involved in education, and/or schools, in one way oranother for half a century or moreand am pleased to teU you thatsome of the most pleasant andfulfilling of those years have beenhere at Arcadia.It is my hope and wish that aU ofyou, in whatever career you pursue, as well as in your personallives, will have great success as weUas wonderful friends andassociates.

ARCADIAN February 2, 1984Teachers are l2appinQPeople tool withCoach Howard I2()Z

In this issue, we have selected aman who's greatness precedes him.The Arcadian is proud to introduce to you, Teacher of the Month,Gary Howard better known asCoach Howard.The interview we had withCoach Howard was so serious,specific, and lengthy, that we thereporters of the Arcadian had avery difficult time capturing allthe brilliant quotes which Mr.Howard gave, but if fact we didcome up with a very good summarization. Mr. Howard has beenwith Arcadia a few years now. Hehas coached football, taught science/health and now he is presently working in the office as an administrative assistant. Some of hiseveryday experiences include counseling and correcting troubled teenagers, taking a stroll across campus, walking across campus, andmost of all loading the pop machine with many different flavors ofpop. Even though many peoplehere at Arcadia don't realize it,Howard has built a football platform from which Arcadia willbenefit in later years. Since hetook over the head coaching jobin 1982, the team's attitude andunity have become better than itever was. Not only is he a coachwho can joke with his players buthe is also one who's deeply respected by his players.Not only does Coach Howardenjoy his job and football, but healso loves his wife Sharon, his sonBrian, and his daughter Jenny.Yes folks, the marriage was a trueCinderella story and the happy

family has been living in ParadiseValley for sometime now andCoach Howard stated that, "I thas been nothing but paradisesince we moved into that Valley".Like all the other office personnel, Coach Howard is very upsetthat Dr. Pratt is leaving at thesemester and he said, "We are losing a great man and a close friendof everyone." He also stated thathe was anxious to greet the newAssistant Principal and said he issure she will be able to fill the spotas well as Dr. Pratt did.When we asked how he liked hisnew job this year he replied, "Ireally enjoy the students here atArcadia and I also enjoy the 30minute scenic drive to and fromschool each day. Well, it's justbeen too much fun! Thank youMr. Howard and the Arcadianstaff wishes you best of luck inyour future at Arcadia.

Dear Arcadia,It is ski season again. Great. Time to pack up the equipment and headto Sunrise or somewhere in Colorado, U tah, California or wherever it isthat you like to go. My first ski trip of the season was to Purgatory, andwhile I was there I noticed that there is a lot more to having fun whileyou ski than the actual skiing part of it.The best is watching expert skiers who know that they are beingwatched by people in the chair lift. They motion t o the other gorgeous guyin the Vuarnets and tight stretch pants to follow, a nd then they practicallyski straight down the hill through the moguls and hit the biggest one thatthey can find with this look on their faces like "I bet everyone who iswatching is jealous of this massive air I'm catching." They they eat itBIGTIME on the next little bump. "I couldn't help it man - I was snowblind!" Either that or they come off the jump and look up to see who sawit and then crash into a 300 pound snowplower. Now we know how thebeginners get hurt; by the up and coming Jean-Claude IGIlys.I love the beginner skiers with the Rossignol skis, Nordica Air Systemboots, and 600 dollar reversible outfits. You see them get off the liftsand then you crack up as they get into wedge position down t he catwalk.These same people always lose a ski getting on the lift and have to haveit sent up in the next chair, then fall getting off the chair and get thoroughly embarrassed when the guy patrolling the lift broadcasts "Lookout for the down skier!" I saw a new skier who was hanging from thelift freaking out while her brother yelled in his Texan accent, "Youbreak that chair lift pole and you gonna pay for it, y'all hear?" Sad.As far as racing goes, it comes in most handy to know how to, whenpoeple are following you that you don't particularly want to ski with.White is always the best color to be wearing, if at all possible, in thissituation so that you can hide in the trees off to the side.

Wherever you go skiing, have a great time. Watch out for the experts,woolen hats, and most importantly - bring a lot of Kleenex.Love,RozP .S. In reference to my last Rap about Simon LeBon, he will be hereFebruary 8th. See ya there!OliverSays GoodbyeOn Friday, January 13, 1984, Arcadia officiallysaid farewell to Dr. Pratt. We have been very luckyto have had such an honest, straight forward andwitty assistant principal for eight years. Fort unately, Dr. Pratt has promised us that his love affairwith Arcadia will never end; he will be visiting usfrom time to time. The entire student body wishesyou all the best, Dr. Pratt.

If you haven't noticed, the office has been completely "rearranged."Mr. Bruins now heads student activities and our new assistant principal,Miss Brenda Collins, (Welcome aboard!) is responsible for registration,attendance, and discipline. Thanks to Beth Hoag, Tammy Lustgarten,Tricia Meyers, Andrea Girand, and Micki Clark for making Miss Collins'transition easier!And if things aren 't confusing enough one-third of our faculty is new.!(It's almost like Arcadia's first day in 1959 when nobody knew anybody).Arcadia gives you all a warm welcome and wishes you the best for thisyear and many to come.Finally, what's on the calendar for student activities! Food Bazaar,A-team Day, TWIRP, and Student body ski trips .. . You'll be hearingmore about aU of these VERY soon. Girls, now's your chance to getrevenge for Homecoming, ask that guy to TWIRP.U-P-D-A-T-E: Rumor has it that the senior officers are going to try toestablish a "senior parking lot" for class spirit, prestige and badly neededmoney.

J.V Even though the boys juniorvarsity basketball team is small thisyear, they are still full of teamworkand spirit. The team's record so far

is 2 wins and 7 losses . The losseswere to Coronado, Washington,West, Thunderbird, Alhambra,Carl Hayden (2 point loss), and a3-overtime 3 point loss to Cactus .The titans beat Glendale by IIpoints and had a super vistory overChaparral.In the Chaparral game, TroyKochis led with 26 points and Andy Hartsfield had 22 points in thewin . Kochis has been the Titan'sleading scorer so far, according toCoach Yee . Hartsfield, who wasthe second leading scorer, wasplaying extremely well, but willmiss five of six games with abroken finger. Scott Faas isanother athlete who contributes

greatly to the junior varsity team.The rest of the team includes: JonBelsher, Charlie Beresford, DanColson, Deg Davies, Tony Defalco, Don Graves, Mike lams, PaulKerr, Dave Peterson, Dave Olden,Paul Porter and Ed Sipes.Coach Yee quotes about histeam, "The players have been giving a real good effort every gameand that's all I can ask of them .""They really hustle and I'm proud

Saguaro, Kova, Lorna Linda, andfor a year in New York. When inthe Air Force, he played soccer insuch places as Japan and Korea.So far the soccer team has had astrong start. Their first game wasagainst Gilbert where they defeated them 7-1. When facing the nextopponent, Arcadia was beaten 4-7by one of the most challengingteams in the league, Agua Fria.In the next two games, Arcadiafaced Cactus both times. Theytied 4-4 in the first game and won4-2 in the next.

MontyThis month, the Arcadian has

chosen Monty Cardon as . .. yeah. .. you guessed it, Athlete of theMonth. I f you've never seenMonty before, thats ok, becausehe's the 17-year-old senior football superstar that you've probably either heard of or read about.His junior and senior football performance certainly has a uniquestory to tell.Presently, Monty is one of thestarting forwards for the TitanVarsity Basketball team. This willbe his fourth year of basketballhere at Arcadia. Off the court,Monty enjoys skiing like everyother student at this school.(Wow, that s a very unique and exciting hobby Monty!)

ARCADIANAlthough Monty is very skilledin basketball, his football recordis nothing less than outstanding.For starters, when he was only ajunior, he was named All-Conference, All-City, an d All-State widereceiver. In his senior year, hecaptured the same titles plus hewas chosen to play in the North/South All-Star game to be playedat Northern Arizona University inJuly of 1984.As far as college goes, Monty is

not really sure which one to attend.He's had offers from the University of New Mexico, Arizona State,Brigham Young, San Diego State,California Berkeley, Stanford,and Penn State to name a few.During the month of January,Monty will be visiting five of theseUniversities to view the schools anddecide on possible scholarships.The next four years look to happy ones for Monty, but when Iasked him about his post collegeyears he simply replied," I dreamabout playing professional footbal and I wonder what it would belike" . Well, thank you Monty andArcadia wishes you good luckwith your future football career .

SallyPracticing two to four hours aday, five days a week is an extreme workout when the sport isswimming. But top-notch swim

mer, Sally Carl, confronts it withease. That undoubtedly led thisoutstanding junior into capturingthe "Most Valuable Swimmer" onArcadia's swim team and to become January's "Athlete of theMonth."Inspired by champion swimmer, Tracy Caulkins, she beganswimming at the age of nine. " I ttakes a lot of committment, time,ane effort. You need to disciplineyourself but it is really fun," saysSally.Because swimming is her mainconcern, Sally doesn't have muchtime to participate in school activities, although, she still findstime to horseback ride, read, andwaterski.The goal of Arcadia's swimteam this year was to win the statechampionship, which they didwith exceptional skill. This wasalso an important goal of Sally's .Her main goal, though , is to winJunior Nationals in swimming.

never seen so many promisingathletes quit a sport. Everyonewants to be good, but they are notwilling to put in the necessarytime.
