Because this year's theme involves different art styles, the staff of Oakleaves 1 9 9 4 would like to dedicate the yearbook to the Arts Department. Although most students are in some way involved in the fine arts, we feel that the Arts Department does not always receive the recognition it deserves. Poly's Fine Arts Department offers a wide selection of opportunities to be involved in either the visual or the performing arts. Each teacher brings his or her own talent to their classrooms and dedicates large amounts of time each day, whether it be staying after school to direct a play or using their lunch period to help a student finish a batik. Students can also find friends in any of these individuals. Stuart Freed, Jim Barry, Allan Shaefer, Marty Schiff, Tina Cocumelli, Cynthia Crass, Alan Geier, llosemarie Krovoza, and Heather Gilchriest, we thank each and every one of you for your hard work and inspiring vision.16i

-Samuel Taylor Coleridge Put on the armor of ;:: God, righteousness as a breastplate, and your ( shod in readiness for the gospel of peace. Hold faith as a shield, and the sword of the Spirit. -Ephesians, 6:10-7
If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not be tired waiting, Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk to wise:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: ' Hold on!'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings-nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute, With sixty seconds worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And-what is more-you'll be a Man, my son! -Rudyard Kipling

Farewell to you and the youth I have spent with you. It was but yesterday we met in a dream. You have sung to me in my aloneness, and I of your longings have built a tower in the sky. But now our sleep has fled and our dream is over, and it is no longer dawn. The noontide is upon us and our half waking has turned to fuller day, and we must part. If in the twilight of memory we should meet once more, we shall speak again together and you shall sing to me a deeper song. And if our hands should meet in another dream we shall build another tower in the sky.

It is not the critic that counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of the deed could have done them better. The credit belongs to the person who is actually in the arena; whose faith is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiams, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly. -Teddy Roosevelt

It was a cold and wet December day
When we touched down at JFK
Snow was melting on the ground
On BLS I heard the sound of an Angel
New York like a Christmas tree
I said tonight this city belong to me
Soul Love this love won't let me go
So long Angel of Harlem
Birdland on 53
The street sounds like a symphony
We got John Coltrane and a love supreme
Miles and she has to be an Angel
Lady Day got diamond eyes
She sees the truth behind the lies
Soul Love this love won't let me go
So long Angel of Harlem
Blue light on the avenue
God knows they got to you
An emP.tY glass, the lady sings
Eyes swollen like a bee sting
Blinded you lost your way
On the side streets and the alleyways
Like a star exploding in the night
Filling up the city with broad daylight
An Angel in Devil's shoes
Salvation in the blues
You never looked like an Angel
So long Angel of Harlem. -U2

To the greatest family ever encountered on this world: All my love and thanks.
And behold, some men were carrying on a bed a man who was paralyzed; and they were trying to bring him in, and to set him down in front of Him.
And not finding any way to bring him in because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down through the tiles with his stretcher, right in the center, in front of Jesus.
And seeing their faith, He said, "Friend, y our sins are forgiven you."
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who is this man who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone?"
But Jesus, aware of their reasonings, answered and said to them, "Why are you reasoning in your hearts?"
"Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins have been forgiven you,' or to say, 'Rise and walk?
"But in order that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins," He said to the paralytic, "I say to you, rise, and take up your stretcher and go home."
And at once he rose before them, and took up what he had been lying on, and went home, glorifying God.
And they were all seized with astonishment and began glorifying God; and they were all seized with astonishment and began glorifying God; and they were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen remarkable things today."

Being Scared of What We - Don't
HOMOPHOBIA
Over 90% of two thousand gays,and lesbians recently Sl!rveyed reported some form of vicand 33% had been directly threatened with violence. Not only is homophobia a _ problem nationwide, bur it is also an issue at Poly.
When Poly students were asked if they were homophobic, most responded, "No, but I haven't re;ny come into contact with many homosexuals, so I'm not really sure." However, statistics show that out of every four families in the United States has a lesbian or gay in tpe immedicrte family.
Another frequeqt response was, "No, as long as they keep their distance, but I know a lot of people are homophobic .. .I'm always hearing gay jokes or ,seeing people imitate how they think gays act."
Why qo so many high school students feel the need to joke around about homosexuality? Some researchers that 'it stems from a feeling of rarely acknowledged insecurity about their own ,emerging sexuality. A sophomore male states, 'Tm definitely positive that 95% of all heterosexual guys are homophobic. It's just that most of them are just too afraid to admit it."
One sophomore girl contends that it is simply "unnatural" to be homosexual. "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve."
A senjor male was asked, "Would you care if your child's role model were gay?" He an_ swered, "I'd really like to say no, but I know for a fact that I would."
A sophomore male i n response to the same question, "Of course' I would care because I wouldn't to risk affecting my kid but what gay role model is there?"
When offered the example ofMartina Navratilova, he replied, "She's a woman. That doesn't count because, I don't know why this ·is, but it's just more natural for girls to be lesbians than for guys to be gay, because just gross."
Asked why mab have a problem with ical displays of affection among themselves, male became defensive: "Yeah, right! And be labeled as a fag? Get serious."
When asked about the"level of acceptance of homosexuals in the Poly community, one freshman girl "[We] sort 9f [accept them].
We 'want to think that we do." One senior girl noted that while many people claim to · be open-minded about homosexuality, internal feelings can quite the opposite.
While the fight for gay rights continues to be waged, it is c;:lear that gays will not be fully accepted until they have what is most elusive: an overall change in the attitude that most members of our society hold regardi.ng homosexuality.
When is Thin Too Thin?
EATING DISORDERS
Of the eight million people in the United States ·who suffer from eating disorders, over - 90% are female. Eating disorders are particularly prevalent in middle and upper class Caucasian adolescents and young adults. As many of 1% of young white women may have some form of an earing disorder.
The two ,most common types are anorexia nervosa, a form of self-starvation in ::which virtually no food is eaten, and bulimia, where individuals may eat normally or go on eating binges, resorting to vomiting a nd laxatives to control their weight. Common symptoms art.: a 15% weight loss of expected body weight, irregular menstrual periods, and a slow heartbeat.
Medical statistics report that approximately I • half of the young women recover. About 20% improve but are underweight, another 20%,.., remain anorexic, 5% may become obese, and 36% die. The risk of death from an arrhythmia, or irregular is especially high when weight loss is more than 35% of expected body weight Another frequent cause ·of-death is suicide. -
Eating disorders result from a combination of social and psychological factors. Anorexics and bulimics are often characterized by a disturbed attitude towards b0dy image, influenced by cultural and social factors. This is illum ated by the high frequency of eating disorders found among models,
ana some athletes.
The new generation of waif models is an example. Every inch as tall as other models, they weigh pounds less and look unhealthfully thin- Although they claim to have high metabolisms, all models have different ideas about what constitutes a "normal" daily (ntake of food. Whiie media images of these skinny girls may not be the sole cause of eating disorders, it mosdikely does
The best to assist friends who }}ave bulimia or anorexia is to help them acknowltheir prol;>lem, which they will often deIJy. Once this is treatment and recovery can begin.
Crossing the Border
IMMIGRATION
Illegal immigration into the United States, especially into California from Central America and !\:iexico, has always been controversial. The and Naturalization Service (INS) estimates that between 3,000 and 4,500 people attempt to cross the U.S.-Mexico border every night. Half of these people are caught and returned to Mexico; the other half enter the country, hoping to imprnve the quality of their lives.
In 1986, the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) was passed, requiring all em, ployers to check papers verifying that the workers have the right to legally in the United States. ·

Fires Consume·Southland
Ragi!1g flames covered over 150,000 acres of Southern California 'during the week of October , 25, driven by the Santa Ana winds and fed by dried trees and shrubs accumulated after six years of drought. Firemen tried ' I everything from dropping water bombs from aircrafts to surrounding the fire /wU:h firelines apd firebreak s, but it seemed as if these fires refused. to be contained. ,
"I distressed that people were · repeating things that were unsubstantiated," he said.

' / Yet lately r"hat image has l;,ecome . clouded by the riots, fires, , drought that California. Our econor:nic have begun to subside, yet the end of our troubles is , nowhere in sight.

- The fires, ran(ing into six counties, devoured over 730 homes and 160 ,000 acres. Property damage is estimated $500 million, and eighty-four casu3lties were reported, none of them attributed directly to the fire.
Locally, the 'Altad_ena/Sierra Madre fire injured 40 and forced some Poly families to ,evacuate as the advancing fireline threatened their canyon homes.
Poly itself faced no danger. Upper School Director Greg Feldmeth strived to preserve plm Poly students by st ating, "My main was for the safety .of the students. I encouraged students at morning meeting to d-0 three things: to stay here, ' to not spread gossip about the fire, and to not joke about it." -
Despite his request, Feldmeth felt that eyaggerated rumors concerning the fire persisted
However, proving the rumors to be unsub-stantiated out to be difficult, as many of the affected student population had 1-eft , school either to be with family or to help save their houses from the approaching inferno. few Poly families did damage to their _houses, but most were spared by the flames.
The Altadena fire was started by Andres , Huang, a Chinese transient, who / "Yas found guilty of a misdemeanor charge of UI;1'intentionally starting a fire. He had built a fae near Firecracker Plantation to keep warm.
The other fires have been attributed •to ar-Public officials received letters prior to the fires from ;i man threatened to off a fire on a hot and w'indy day.
Although this is the first time that fires have affected California on such a large scale, it is no surprise that we are so St.!Sceptible to such blazes. According to N;wsweek, the real reason is "the collision of man and naturethe steady encroachment of L.A.

·Movie Boom
1993 a boon:i for the movie industry, with several motion pictures pulling in one hundred million p-lus.
Taking the biggest bite out of the box office was Steven Spielberg's dinosaur thrille_r, "J sic Park,"_which grossed 800 million dollars worldwid<:;. Speaking of money, women 1ii: film became marketable goods this year ?-as both 'Entertainment and Michelle Pfeiffer pointed out. Demi Moore was sold by her husband for 9ne million in "Indecent Proposal," -poor Holly Hunter only cost Harvey Keitel a_few piano keys in "The Piano," and Julia Roberts, Mrs. Lyle Lovett, who was once bought by Richard Gere'in "Pretty n," -finally returned from her vacation from the Hollywood limelight in the box office hit, "The Pelican Brief.'"
As usual, 1993 and 1994 movies played on the s ame again and again. Cr<;>ssdressing became popular in not only the "Mrs. Dbubtfire" with Robin \fillliams, b!-lt also in "The Crying Game," "Ed Wood" with Johnny Depp; , and "lt'.s Pat," based on the Saturday Night Live sketch. Westerns returned from the ghost towns in 'Tombstone," "Geron"Bad Girls," "Wyatt Earp," and :'Into the West," among others. This year was also a ground-breaking year for movies about Chinese people and homese:xuals. Movies like "Philadelphia," "The Joy Luck Club;" "FareWell My ConGubine", " "Dragon," "Six D egrees of Separation,", "Golden Gate," and "The Wedding · Banquet" followe.d°'the lives of characters who deviated from the stereotype, and although there was the usual inundation offormula films and sequels, movief!lakers went out on a limb to experiment with new methods.
Tim Burton's "The Nightmare Before Christmas" was filmed in stop-motidn photography, using clay puppets and models. Steven Spielberg shot the critically acclaimed Holocaust movie, "Schindler's List," in documentary style angles and iri black an d white, and the ron;iantic comedy '"I'll Do Anything" became the first movie in- history to be filmed as a musical with song and dance numbers, then to have all of that editted Out., and to return, a · month later revampe d without so inuch as a whistle from star Nick Nolte.
Overall, it's beer<.a year for the silver screen. Here's to hoping that they can keep it 1 up.

Pity Before Justice
If are labeled based on the natiQnal events that occurred in them, the 1993-94 school year has been the year of the victim.
Indeed, court verdicts during these last,nine months have shown an trend: defendants can be acquitted of their criminal acts as ,long as they come up with a sob story of abuse. Thar- jurors today are willing co forgive just about anything as long as the defendant can bring up (or make up) any history <ff abuse does not bode well for America's justice-system.
The first indication of this year's trend of undue pity came · in October, '1993 with the trial of the "LA. Four," the- group of rioters who dragged Reginald Denny from __ his truck and beat him at the intersection of Florence and Normandie during the 1992 riots. They also threw rocks at ocher people, spray-painted o"ne man's face and genitals, and left one person deaf in one ear. Yet Damian Williams was acquitted on all charges of murder and aggravated assault and was convicted on only orye charge of mayhem:. The other three were released with hardly a slap on the wrist and are now back on the streets.
How could the "L.A. Four" off so lighclyfor such a crime? The jurors stated char the four had an excuse: growing up in the Los Angeles ghettoes was hard, and when the police who beat Rodney King were wrongly acquitted, there was no p'ossible response ocher than to riot. However, no matter how hard their lives were, the "LA. Four" had options besides violence. But the ju!ors in their politi'cally 'correct' sympathy forgot that, an cl their sentence showed the jurors held' society more than 'they did the "LA. Four."
The jury's judfomem in the trial of Lorena Bobbitt in January, 1994 was equally problematic. In chis overly publicized case, Mrs. Bobbitt cue off husband's penis one nig'ht while he . was asleep, drove down the road with it, and threw it out' the window. Lorena Bobbitt's lawyer claimed chat she was "the pathetic victim of physical abuse, humiliation,.and·sexual - torment," and that her husband's cruel treatment drove her to dismember him.
Women nationwide pitied her, .showing their support in droves. The·jury bought Lorena's story too; last January they acqu_itted her on all charges, stating she had acted while · "temp()farily insane." These responses to the trial of Lorena Bobbitt were another e::cample of f See JUSTICE, page 8 ·
Israel -and PLO: A Fragile Peace -

The Israelis and the Palestinians have been fightingover' both religion and territorial rights to lsrae l and its surrounding areas, once known as Palestine.
But in September 1993, the PLO, representing the Palestinians, and Yitzhak Rabin, representing the Israelis, came to agreement described by Clinton as "an historical arid honorable·compromise" that will g radually set up Palestinian self-rule in the outlying areas of Jericho and the .Gaza Strip U nfonunately this "honorable compromise" met ,with resistance from both sides, due to radical factions present in both Israel and the
PLO. However, in early February, 1994, another barrier was broken down, both leaders made progres.l on the most difficult issues that plague the peace agreement.

Supporters 0f the proposal said !hat vouchers offered children an equal opportury.iry to receive a good education. However,ppponents claimed the bill would rob the already suffering pub}!c school system and more money to wealthy private schools.
...... The bill would allow parents to c,hoose sdi.ools that best meet their children's needs and send ' their kids to that particular school. Red would be cut so that more educational dollars the classroom, and the private sector would be mobilized to atcomo'date the burgeoning school-age population.
Four particular issues were argµed: What would to public schools if Prop. 17 4were passed? What wo uld determine the type of student admitted into a scholarship school?
- How such scrhools wou,ld be Whowould benefit from vQ.pchers?
Although supporters of Prop. 17 4 believed that public schools w9uld be by competition with and schools, opponents countered that public school teach. ers 'would be left with even more crowded 'classes and the "hard-to-educate" children. This, they said, would create a system. , In addition, · although "no school which discriminates on the basi s· of race, ' ethnicity, color, or national origin able redeem critics were concerned that private voucher schools would be allowed tQ deny enrollment to students based on religion, · gender, socio-economic status, or other factors.
To apply for vouchers, a school must have at least twenty-five students. believed that the small number allowed each to receive personal attention from teachers. However, critics claimed that the proposition would open the door for scores 0£ tiny with unqualified staff and equipment to receive government dollars in the form .of vouchers.
- Opponents in the Pasadena area included the league of Women Vornrs, the Pasadena section of the NAAtP, the president of the Pasadena Unified School District, and Poly' s headmaster ; Mike Babcock.
Babcock called ·tqe voucher initiative "an outrageous idea," s?lying, "How anyone can _ pro-pose taking money away from public schools when they n,eed all the support they can muster is beyond my understanding." Most educational leaders were about the idea of the government digging into an already shallow public education fund and handing out a check t? whoever asks for money.

Daughter,
Lean against a tree and dream your world of dreams
Work hard at what you Like to do and try to overcome all obstacles
Laugh at your mistakes
And praise yoµrself for learning from them
Pick some flowers and appreciate the beauty of nature
Say hello to strangers and enjoy the people you know
Don't be afraid to show your emotions
laughing and crying make you feel better
Love your friends and family with your entire being
They are the most important part of your life
Feel the calmness on a quiet sunny day and plan what you want to accomplish in life
Find a rainbow and live a world of dreams.

God gave us all wings but He made yours exceptionally beautiful. Your flight will make a giftto the world of song and laughter and gossamer light and I will watch you and be with you every moment with my Sister I have only one how lucky am I? that She is You!
Thank you, Margee! I have had the unique (definitely!) privilege of growing up with you. I am so proud of you and so eager to see your imminent successes! I love you Brat! And if you're so smart, why don't YOU rig up the lights?? Take care of yourself, Jerky, and remember I am never farther away than the telephone or mailbox. I love you, Little Seester!
THANK-YOU

The following letter was written to me by my father when I graduated in 1965. think it may inspire you as it did me.
Dear Son,
Your grown up life is beginning. Now you are responsible for your actions. Now you have no one else to blame. Please take life a little seriously, you only get one on this planet. Make the most of yourself that you can, it is more than you know, and you have been given the best tools through education. What are you waiting for, Christmas?!
Love, Dad
At the time it sounded a little preachy, but now, as I read my old yearbook, it makes sense. As my folks used to say, "Your mom and dad aren't as dumb as you think."
I have to admit I didn't fully appreciate my family's advice, so now I will give you some of my own free words of wisdom: YOU GET MORE OUT OF YOUR EFFORTS THAN YOU PUT INTO THEM. If you don't believe this, why not ask some of the people who have volunteered for projects at your school.
Two special thank you's:
Sara Tolaney, thank you for your extra efforts, I know who you have made proud.
And, a thank you to the students that volunteer to help out at the Hillside Home for Children. I am the "too tall and too skinney Santa" that hands out the gifts. As a certified Santa, I can tell you that your work is a special gift to these kids.
Good Luck,

Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on the snow. I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.

EDITOR'S NOTE:
WE WOULD - 1-IKE TO CONTRIBUTED TO OAKLEAVES
THANK EVERYONE WHO 1994. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE SUPPORT WE RECEIVED FROM MR. BARRY AND MR. FELD METH.

WE ARE VERY GRATEFUL TO ALL OF OUR PATRONS AND TO THOSE PARENTS AND BUSINESSES WHO WERE SO GENEROUS IN THEIR SUPPORT. WE DEFINITELY NEVER COULD HAVE PRODUCED THE BOOK SO SUCCESSFULLY WERE IT NOT FOR THE PEOPLE JUST MENTIONED.
As FOR THE BOOK, WE HOPE ALL OF YOU ENJOY THE END RESULT THAT HAS BEEN AWAITED FOR SO LONG. WE HAVE WORKED HARD TO SHOW ALL THE DIFFERENT FACETS OF POLY LIFE IN A NEW WAY, AND WE HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE WHAT WE WERE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH.
THE THEME ORIGINATED IN THE MIND OF OUR EDITOR-IN-Ci:HIEF, ALEX ARANOVICH AND WAS SPREAD THROUGHOUT ALL TWO HUNDRED FORTY PAGES BY THE EDITORIAL BOARD. WE WANTED TO PRODUCE SOMETHING NEW AND INNOVATIVE THAT WOULD REFLECT THE EVERCHANGING WAY OF LIFE HERE AT POLY.
