Christmas show features two fantasies

By Mary Hannify

Ladies and gentlemen, you are invited to a party, courtesy of the Speech/Theatre/Dance Department.

This event will take place at The North Pole.

This invitation is something you'd probably receive if you were the dancers for this year's Christmas dance production. The dances are "Peter and the Wolf' by Prokofiev and "A Christmas Fantasy," an original by choreographer Tom Hanson.

The Dance Department has been working hard to bring their perfor-

mance up to professional level for students and staff.

Currie Pederson, assistant to Tom Hanson says, "Opening night will be a fantastic fantasy. We would like the students and staff to see it. Not for themselves, for the schools. It's entertaining."

Pederson has been a faculty member here for three years. Prior to this in 1958, he was professional dancer for the American Ballet Theatre. Pederson started seriously studying dance about the eighth grade and has been dancing ever since.

"Hanson is the nicest person to work

with. He cares for his dancers and wants them to look professional," said Pederson who has known Hanson since 1960. I've only seen him get upset twice."

Jamie Malone, a dance major and in both shows, has been dancing for a little over two years. "I think the show is going to go well. I would rather see this than "Nutcracker."

"A Christmas Fantasy" takes place at the North Pole where Santa and Mrs. Claus are having a party. This show consists of all different types of Christmas music.

"The show will be very appealing to

children and adults will like it too,·· said Hanson.

"Peter and the Wolf' is about a young boy who captures a wolf with the help of a bird, a cat and a duck All of this is much to his grandfather's concern.

The production is narrated as the dancers perform.

Solo dancers for "Peter and the Wolf' are Laura Hilton and Diana Potter in alternating roles as Peter, Peter Czerner as the wolf, T. Wilkinson as the grandfather, Karen Grier and Jennifer Hone in alternating roles as the cat, Beth Burke and Erica Shaffer in alternating roles as the bird and

Malone as the duck Featured dancers in "A Christmas Fantasy" are Kristine Maddox, Shaffer, Burke, Hone, Pederson and Malone.

Performances are December 20, 21, 22 at 8 p.m. with a matinee on December 21 at 2 p.m. in the Palomar College Community Theatre.

Tickets are $6.50 for general admission, $6.00 for students and seniors and $5.50 for children under 12.

Group rates are also available.

Hanson choreographs dancers

By Mary Hannify

"There are a lot of "Nutcracker's" around. It might be nice to see something different. Unfortunately, I think it's the only Christmas ballet ever done," says Tom Hanson, choreographer for the Christmas dance production.

Hanson and Currie Pederson, a faculty member here have been working together since 1960. Pederson asked Hanson if he'd be willing to do a piece for the spring concert. Since Hanson has done three spring concerts. Those concerts were only bits and pieces. "Peter and ttJ,e Wolf' and "A Christmas Fantasy" are Hanson's first full productions here.

"Peter and the Wolf' and "A Christmas Fantasy" came about when the Dance Department lost "Nutcracker."

Hanson said "I felt this to be kind of a shame that they didn't have a Christmas thing and my next job is in January."

"So Pederson said why don't you do something for Palomar, since I had done "Peter and the Wolf' as jazz ballet on television once ." Hanson said, "So Dorothie Bleth asked if I'd do "Peter and the Wolf." I said fine."

Hanson was drafted ~fter high school. After his four years of service in World War II, he studied dancing on the G.l. Bill of Rights.

Hanson studied in New York at the New York City Ballet under Hanya Holm. Hanson had been only studying a year when he got his first job at the Roxy Theatre doing "five a day," for the younger generation. "Five a day" is when the theater did a movie, then a stage show, followed by a movie then a stage show and so on.

Hanson danced on the "Hit Parade" T.V. show for eight years and then became a choreographer during part of his last year on the "Hit Parade."

Hanson said as a dancer his best performance was on the "Hit Parade" back in the 1950's. As a choreographer

Being short on necessities is nothing to be joyful about, especially if what's needed is food.

With the holiday season fast approaching, the need for foo.d will be at its peak If you are in need of a little help, come by the Food Bank in R-28.

With the high demand for food, the Inter Club Council has started a "Holiday Food Drive" to help keep the food bank supplied. The food drive began November 11 and will last until December 19, when Christmas Break begins.

Hanson said, "I'd have to say the eight years of the "Red Skelton Hour." The Tom Hanson Dancers were treated kind of like an act, not a chorus. We always had good exposure." Hanson recalls other moments "I did some "Disney on Parades." That was exciting. Then the Inaugural Gala for John F. Kennedy was prestigious."

"The Weavers: wasn't that a time" is the Cinema Department's December 18 production.

The Weavers, besides being an extremely popular musical group during the 1950's held strong ethical beliefs. The film shows how they expressed their beliefs in the peace movement and the environmental causes they supported.

Hanson recalls one of the funniest moments in dance. "We had one involving dancers dressed as penguins. At the dress rehearsal somebody tripped and fell over. We then found out because of all the padding they couldn't get up by themselves.

They needed someone to help them up.

The leader, Pete Seeger is the glue who held the group together. Actual footage of Seeger and other members privately and at live concerts is included in the movie.

Because of their strong beliefs, however, the Weavers were black listed. Their struggle is representative of the politics of the 40's and 50's in the United States. Many with leftist beliefs were blacklisted.

Five years ago Hanson moved to California for a couple of series with Dinah Shore on TV. "A Christmas Fantasy" is an original idea by Hanson.

"The Weavers" is the fmale to this semester's movie series. It will be presented on December 18 for two showings, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

"Unfortunately, "Peter and the Wolf' is only 25 minutes long. So I went through my scads of records and put together this little thing called "A Christmas Fantasy" which doesn't have a story. It's what I feel that would be appealing to children. Also the adults will enjoy it. It's very commercial."

Next semester's theme is "the people behind the movies - directors, editors and camera men." This series of motion pictures, from February 12, ("Sherlock Jr.") to the May 28th, ("Shampoo") can be taken for credit in conjunction with CINE 13, History of Film. Check with the counselors or Mr. Richard A Peacock in P-24 for more details on this course.

The show consists of gumdrops, candycanes, children and Frosty the Snowman. It's basically a party at Santa Claus's house for Christmas.

"I hope we are going to have a lot of fun with this show. You don't know until you see it. All my life I've dealt with professionals. It's different now I'm trying to give them experience.

Normally dancers come to me with experience."

Hanson looks back on what he feels is "a wonderful career and a successful one."

"Most of my work now is in Las Vegas. It's the only place the work is now. There is no dancing on television.

Television is my home, I grew up on it. I really made my claim to fame on television."

Food Bank needs goods to help reach and maintain a 6,000 can-a-week goal.

"What we need donated are nonperishable type foods," said John Welburn, co-chairperson for the food drive committee. "The Food Bank is practically empty and with the holiday season so close, the demand will be greatest."

Donated food can be dropped oft in the Student Activities office, R-21, .

Inner strength solves holiday depression

By Monica Nash "Have a good old-fashioned Christmas," my mom said. "I've never had one, but you can try, anyway."

We all have a conception of Christmas as though it should be something more than it is. Why does the season to be jolly have the highest suicide rate? What turns the expectation of joy into depression?

It's not from lack of effort. Think of all we put into it. You spend hours of decorating your house in red and green Christmas paraphernalia. You search for the perfect tree and arrange the colored lights and decorations just so. Christmas cards must be chosen, signed, addressed, and mailed. Christmas lists, too, are time-consuming, and you must brave the madding crowd in an attempt to get those gifts.

Parents hear endless requests from children. They seem to want everything they see during Saturday morning commercials. You could go broke buying it all.

Then there are the holiday parties to prepare for and cleanup afterward. You must appear to be having fun on these occasions.

You must hide the extra stress you are under.

Most of us go through some or all of these things. We do a lot of work to prepare the setting for a Merry Christmas. Then what happens? I can only use my family as an illustration.

After the initial flurry of present opening has ended, the children become cranky. Even if they got what they wanted, they aren't happy for very long. They want something else, they seem greedy.

Mom has been cooking all morning. Dad gave her an electric can opener for Christmas.

She always wanted something personal. The neighbors' wives got nicer things. She notices that she didn't get back as many cards as she sent. She listens as her mother-in-law comments about the cleanliness of the house, while the kids complain about the food. They eat too much candy and get sick. Some of the relatives are bickering. She hopes this isn't

the start of a new family quarrel.

The men spend all afternoon watching the games on T.V. The women cook and clean while the men digest. They want to be notified when it's time for dessert.

Mom thinks of the family that didn't come.

She wonders what went wrong. Why aren't they all happy?

If you think that's bad, the people alone have it worse. If your family is scattered across the country and your friends have made plans, you may resign yourself to watching other people look happy on T.V. You wonder why situations in your life don't work out in a halfhour. You think of Christmases that were better. It's easy to start feeling sorry for yourself.

In either example, we set ourselves up for depression. Why do we put ourselves through it? What have we lost?

Military Christmas recalled

Reality

'Humbug' antidote

By Bill Schweizer

By Tom Fitzpatrick Retailers remind us there are only eight more days 'till Christmas. In the words of Dickens, "Bah humbug!"

Those two words together, bah and humbug, have come to take on a rather negative connotation. People who hear them associate the phrase with a lack of Christmas spirit or a generally manevolent personality. This is unfortunate, as just the opposite can be true.

Humbug is defined as "Something contrived to deceive and mislead; fraud; sham." Bah is simply an exclamatory word to add emphasis.

Now let us take a closer look at Christmas.

What does Christmas stand for? The first response is usually "Giving. It is a time to give rather than receive." Is that so? Funny, but people seem to forget this philosophy the minute they enter a mall parking lot. Instead of "Merry Christmas," four letter words abound when someone else gets the parking space near the entrance.

What else does Christmas stand for?

"Family. It is a time to get together with the family and enjoy the holidays." Sure it is. It is always nice to see the family until the family gets together. Then the fireworks start. All the moot family arguments that have stayed dormant for the rest of the year flower into a headache suitable for all.

And what else? "It is a time to relax.

Christmas means a few days off school and work." Right. Students feel that way until they realize that much of the vacation will be spent catching up on missed assignments and studying for finals.

What does all this mean? Christmas as we know it is humbug; it is a sham. The pictures we paint for ourselves are often merely a figment of the mind, based not on reality. No wonder depression is so high this time of year.

False expectations are abundant.

The only defense against this humbug is a large dose of reality. Those who say "Humbug!" may not be grumpy, but instead realistic.

No, people are not all pleasant during the holidays. The "It is better to give than receive" attitude is nice, but it is hard to find a true believer. To those who find a full schedule awaits, rest assured you are not alone.

Finally, just because Christmas as we know it is a sham does not mean we cannot enjoy it. Have a very, very happy Christmas and a merry New Year. Or is it the other way around? No matter, you get the point. And remember, there are only 373 shopping days before Christmas 1987.

The "Christ" has gone out of Christmas.

How many families will sing carols and pray together that day? Who makes the effort to think about why we're celebrating? If . it all seems pretty meaningless, it is. We forget the reason behind the festivities.

Remind them! Cajole your loved ones into singing Christmas carols. Let each child make up a prayer to say before the family. Refuse to feed them until they cooperate. Read the story of Christ's birth out loud. Forbid arguments.

If you're single, get out of the house. Go someplace, any place, or find some other lonely, single people and invite them over.

When they arrive, treat them like family. Make them sing and say a prayer, too. Laughter is required. You'll forget your own problems by thinking of others.

The misery caused by Christmas is selfinflicted. But we have to make it meet our expectations, by going back to the original purpose. You can get that joyous feeling by remembering why we celebrate. Now that's a good old-fashioned Christmas.

Writer seeks 'Lotto' gifts Dear Santa, I know that you are really busy this time of year, so I'll make my Christmas list short and simple.

There is only one small thing that I want for Christmas this year. The winning ticket for the California Pick-Six Lottery. It should fit into my Christmas stocking quite easily.

I figure this present will work out for the both of us. This way you won't have to spend all that time and effort getting everything that I want, and I won't have to worry about not liking it or having it break down after the warranty expires.

If you check your files you'll see that I reallly do deserve this present. I haven't committed any major felonies lately and my insurance is all paid up in case of an accident over the holiday season. By the way, those misdemeanor charges were dropped because of a lack of evidence.

Since you are the person giving me the present, it's only fair that I let you know how I plan on using it.

The first thing I'll do is pay all those parking tickets I got the first two weeks of school.

That way I won't have any trouble registering my new car. I think I'll look good in a black 944 Porsche.

Of course, I'll have to buy a new pair of snow skis to replace the ones that I ruined trying to slalom down Mt. Palomar after it rained last year. Have you ever tried landing in mud and rocks before? I should probably buy a condo up at Tahoe. That way I won't have to worry about skiing without any snow.

I'll need a place to relax when I'm done skiing, so I might want to invest in a beach house somewhere along the coast. I have heard that Malibu has a couple of decent houses worth looking into. I'm sure that I'll need to do some remodeling, but as long as I have a tennis court, a pool and jacuzzi that overlooks the ocean, and an ice-cold keg on tap, I'll be happy.

In case you are having second thoughts because you think I might be a little too greedy, don't worry. I won't get carried away with my good fortune. Let me assure you I'll do my best to spread the wealth. I can probably spare a couple of thousand for charities. I've heard they are great tax write-offs.

They say that money can't buy you happiness, but it sure makes misery a lot more bearable.

Yours truly, Stephen Kenney

Festive Season ingredients

By Mary Hanniw During this festive season people are always having company for dinner ..Yet festive cookies or desserts are hard t9:come by.

BourbOn Balls This recipe requires no cooking, just some time to age.(The longer the better.)

1 cup vanilla wafers 1 cup powder sugar 1 cup pecans chopped (after measuring) 2 tbsps cocoa 2 tbsps white corn syrup

Y4 cup Bourbon (The cheaper the better) Mix together IN ORDER Form into bite size balls. (Make sure you don't handle the dough to much because the oil in your hands will ruin the flavor).

Take two cups of chopped walnuts; place in a blender and blend into a fine powder.

Roll your bite size balls in the walnut powder and place in a sealed container for at least 24-36 hours.

Warning: when opening sealed container after time allotted fumes can be very intoxicating.

It's December 24, about 10:30 p.m. The Christmas tree, so beautifully decorated, flashes with reds, yellows and blues. There are brightly wrapped presents beneath the "Tannenbaum." You sit with love ones, cuddled together watching the Christmas bulbs flash, reflecting off the window or coffee table top. The hectic shopping days are at last over. Now it's time to enjoy the stillness of the Christmas peace.

It's December 24, at about 10:30 p.m. The cold air cuts like razors through your layers of clothing. The stary night enhances the feeling of loneliness. You stomp your feet trying to restore some feeling back into them.

Your nose feels icy and your shoulders droop under the weight of weapon and harness. Your head pounds beneath the weight of your helmet. Your're tired.

These are Christmases I have known. The first as a civilian, the later as a serviceman.

For the past four years, I have celebrated Christmas as a serviceman, as many others have and will.

I remember those cold nights well. So cold, so dark, but worst so lonely. It was during those times I thought of Christmas past, of a warm bed, plenty to eat and presents to open. It was nice, but long ago. The good fortune I had was taken for granted, until I stood guard duty during Christmas.

It is the first "military" Christmas I remember best. I was somewhat new just out of bootcamp and enjoying military life. I was unfortunate to get "Volunteered" for guard duty for December 25, from midnight to 4 a.m.

The night was cold, below freezing, I was wrapped up in everything I owned-two Thermals, three pairs of socks, uniform, field jacket with liner and two blankets. I was supposed to guard a field armory. Well, I froze literally. My toes were blue and I felt miserable, but I survived. And I changed.

Now, I take nothing for granted. I would have given anything to talk with someone that night (besides myself). To talk about anything, not to be alone.

This Christmas remember those not able to celebrate with others and send them a letter or give them a call. While you are at it, remember to be thankful for your good fortune.

Christmas renews family togetherness

By Kimberly Parsley What is Christmas without cold weather and snowdrifts? How can you get in the mood to sing 'Dashing through the snow ...' in 75 degree weather? The sheer beauty of freshly fallen snow is enough to make the frost-bitten feet worth it.

In Colorado, a Christmas never went by that we didn't have a decent snowstorm. My sisters (Sarah, Beth, Krista) and I would wait for the first snow of the season--usually in late November. Hopefully it would be a windy, blowing snow (so we could stay home from school).

Dressed in layers and layers of clothes we would carry the tobagans, sleds and snowdisks out to 'the hill'. The hill was actually part of an enormous natural ravine. When it rained the ravine turned into a huge mudpuddle.

When it snowed, however, the hill was a grande bobsledding run. I, being the oldest, had to crash test the new snow.

After hours of tobaganing, having snow ball fights and making snow angels, we would race inside for hot chocolate.

The preparation for Christmas always began as soon as the Thanksgiving turkey was cleared from the table. We needed the entire month of December to get everything done and ready for the 25th. The house must be cleaned, top to bottom, and decorated. The relatives must be invited for Christmas dinner.

Presents must be bought by and for every member of the family--not to mention from Santa Claus. The gifts were purchased and wrapped, and the boxes of ornaments drug from the depths of the garage.

The entire procession, however, was helped along by the Christmas carols which my mother played continuously.

In our anticipation for Christmas, the tree always managed to get decorated by the 5th.

I always looked forward to the decorating.

We'd all get together one night and argue about what color the tinsel should be. Because my mother hates shedding pine needles, the tinsel would be placed on an artificial tree.

The lights were of primary importance. Dad always took personal responsibility for them.

My mother and I were entrusted with the

difficult and exacting task of the tinsel. No matter how carefully we hung the tinsel it never seemed to be 'straight'. The twins, Sarah and Beth, then four years old, would place the bulbs on the tree (most of them would end up on the bottom--where they could reach).

But neither the way the decorations hung, nor the size and shape of the tree, detered us from the Christmas spirit.

When the Christmas tree was finished the whole family would sit around and gaze at it.

The lights from the tree and the fire in the fireplace glowed alone in the room.

Christmas Eve was considered a family night. The evening was always spent together.

Around eight o'clock Mom would read the Christmas story to the twins. Then everyone would gather around the Christmas tree. As a tradition we were all allowed to open one present on Christmas Eve (although we always begged to open 'just one more'). Cookies and milk were left for Santa (and occasionally a carrot for Rudolph) and the children were sent off to bed.

Christmas morning 6:15 a.m. The twins are in my room begging me to get up. I drag myself out of bed, put on my robe and follow them to wake Krista.

All together we rush downstairs to inspect the presents. Christmas morning rule #1 states that any child may get her stocking as soon

as she awakes but no one may open a gift until the whole family is present. As soon as the twins finish dumping their stockings and examining the contents they begin to wake the rest of the house.

Yawning and rubbing sleep from their eyes, my parents slowly desend the stairs. From the time the first gift is opened 'til the last present is unwrapped, the pace rages. Sounds of ripping and tearing along with squeals of delight fill the room. Above the din are the ever present cautions of my mother as she frantically tries to keep the tags with the gifts for thank-you notes.

The huge mess following Christmas morning is allowed to sit for a few hours while we play with our toys. Then clean-up is followed by helping mom make Christmas dinner for the 20 relatives coming. The 30 pound turkey, which was put in to cook earlier, is checked and the potatoes are begun.

The entire menu entails turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing, mashed potatoes and gravy, lime jello salad, yams, olives, green beans and dinner rolls. The dinner is immediately followed by an obsene number of pies and cobblers. The pies are followed by everyone collapsing and complaining that they ate too much.

Christmas is the one time of the year that we as a family talk--but more importantly listen

Season gives ultintate gift gentleman named St. Nicholas. Henceforth came "Jolly old St. Nick.''

By Mary Hannify For many adults, Christmas is a time for receiving and giving presents. For children it's a time to get that doll or transformer they've asked Santa for .

Yet, many of us seem to forget why this day is on our calenders. It's a time when Christ was born. Before the sixteenth century Christmas was actually "Christie Maesse," meaning Christ's Mass in Latin. It was then transformed into "Christmas" meaning Christ's Day. The beloved image of Santa Claus as a fat 1 jolly bearded old man was originated in the fourth century from an austere looking

Unlimited

Nicholas was noted for his good works in Asia Minor where he was a Christian Bishop.

The idea of giving presents associated with this saint spread from Asia Minor to Europe and was brought to the United States by early Dutch settlers.

Someone once said "Christmas is a time of joy, happiness and family. It's a shame we need to set one day aside each year for this."

I'm not a Scrooge. I love Christmas as much as the next person, but I have to look back and see the first gift ever given. It was from God and He gave us Christ.

to one another. We renew the feeling of togetherness that keeps us going during the rest of the year. Christmastime assures us that no matter what goes wrong in our lives, our family is always there to fall back on. And for that reason Christmas is special.

Real Christmas spirit forgotten

By Schriece Day If you haven't noticed by now, Christmas is on the way. And I can hardly wait. You see it's my favorite season.

Christmas seems to be a potpourri of all holidays mixed into one. It can be a time for religion, family, gifts, and good cheer.

Gift giving seems to stand out more than the rest. And that tends to bother some people. They don't believe in Santa Claus or in exchanging presents.

But there are some unlike Scrooge: In fact, they are very giving. They give more than they receive. They are so engrossed in finding the nicest (which in most cases is the more expensive) gift in the mall, they tend to forget why the gift is given. They seem to get swept away by the spirit of giving.

Christmas didn't start out by buying gifts for one another. They were made and shared.

I'm not suggesting that everyone should make dear old dad a ceramic ashtray with their hand print in the center . That's going a bit overboard. Besides he probably already has one.

You can make other things. Making time is one. To trim the tree with your family; going to the snow or mountains with some friends; sharing some hot chocolate; eating Dudcllies bread with a neighbor or saying "Merry Christmas." These are all gifts, gifts of yourself.

I enjoy opening gifts on Christmas day just like everyone else. But if I had to choose between receiving a present or sharing the Christmas season with someone, I would rather share the season.

'Sexuality' forum answers questions

By Monica Nash

Is there a difference between sex and love?

How do children react to t heir single parents'love?

Why are men so uptight about gays?

These are some of the questions to be considered at a symposium called "Sexuality and the College Student" on December 17. The discussion will center on the moral, psychological and sociological aspects of student sex.

Sponsored by Alpha Gamma Sigma, the Honor Society, the program will have a "Phil Donahue type" talk show format.

Students are encouraged to attend and ask questions of a panel com-

Mavbe there is a substitute for •

posed of three Palomar staff members; Karen Huffman, Behavioral Sciences instructor; Gene Sager, Behavioral Sciences instructor; and Dr. Hula Berk, Child Development instructor.

Alexander Condon, vice president of AGS, will moderate the event. "We would like to generate student interest in this type of forum," said Condon.

"AGS wants to do something about student apathy. Education at a community college doesn't have to stop at the books. We hope this is an opport unity for a more complete college experience at Palomar."

The symposium will be held in the Student Services Center governing board room at 1 p.m.

For further information contact the AGS at Ext. 2606,or leave a note in the mailbox in R-19.

"We want some feed back on this subject," said Condon."Let us know your reactions and ideas."

7 __ SP-ORTS Injuries decimate promising football season The Telescope, Tuesday, December 16, 1986

Craft's gridders finish 6-5; Kaumeyer player of year' I

By JefJ' Bradford

Back in late September it seemed like nothing could stop Coach Tom Craft's Comets. With the excellent passing game of Quarterback Jonathan Mitchell and receivers like Jerald Demery, Billy Jawitz and Jim Rhinehart, it seemed like the football team was on its way to a bowl game.

Adam Cole takes his opponent for a fall in recent action. The wrestling team scored seven first places at the Southern California Regionals December 5, their best showing ever. The seven wrestlers who won their weight class are: Casey Hawkins, Adam Banks, Lenny Pazik, Glenn Clutter, Adam Cole, Rick Lambert and Paul

Mirmingos. Coach John Woods' team racked up 111 points, a Southern California Regionals record. Other wrestlers who placed well were: Brian Buffone, Greg Gavino and Terry McLaurin.

All ten qualified for the State Tournament which was held this past weekend.

Unfortunately, things didn't turn out that way. Injuries decimated what otherwise would have been an excellent season for the gridders. Indeed it was Coach Craft himself who prophesied this fact at the begining of the season. He said that his team did not have the depth to withstand injuries at key positions. It was easy to see just how right he was by the time the season came to a close.

Wide receiver Jawitz went into the season with a weak ankle that ended up putting him on the trainer's table several times. He saw limited action in some games because of ankle problems. Starting center Eric Patrick was hurt during the game with San Diego Mesa, and the rest of the offensive line seemed to suffer because of it. He later returned to the lineup only to go out again later in the season with a serious knee injury.

Defensive back William Reed suffered a knee injury during the game against Grossmont College which not only kept him out of the rest of the football season but the Basketball season as well. Starting tight end Moses Quiroz was also added to the list of injured players.

though came in the Comets second to last game. During that match against Orange Coast College the Comets lost quarterback Mitchell to a shoulder injury. The Comets were inside their own 10 yard line on a third and seven down, Mitchell dropped back to pass.

He unloaded an eight yard pass to Rhinehart. After that completion Orange Coast's left defensive end came in and downed Mitchell, who went to the sideline with a separated shoulder.

Two series later LaMont Parks went down with a twisted knee. The injury did not keep Parks out of the game completely, but it did force him to see limited action in the second half of that game and the game at Riverside.

The team which finished the season with a record of 5-5 for Mission Conference play and 6-5 overall did have some bright spots in what would otherwise seem to be a dim season.

Sophomore free safety Tom Kaumeyer was named the Mission Conference defensive player of the year.

Kaumeyer single-handedly won the games against San Diego Mesa and Grossmont Colleges. During the Mesa game he returned a blocked field goal attempt for the winning touchdown.

He turned around the game with Grossmont by intercepting a pass and returning it for a touchdown late in the second half.

He was also in on 139 tackles for the season and deflected 20 passes.

He had only three interceptions due' to the fact that most opposing teams threw the ball away from him.

Defensive lineman Brad Henke joins Kaumeyer on the all-conference defensive first team. Henke, a transfer student who played for Iowa State last year was probably the most dominant lineman in the conference. He Jed the conference in QB sacks with a total of 11 for 116 yards. He caused and recovered three fumbles in the season fmal at Riverside.

Comets named to the all-conference defensive second team include down lineman Albert Sega, linebacker Tim Bush and cornerback Elzie Gatson.

Linebacker David Veytia and cornerback Jame Crow were honorable mentions.

Palomar's defense was second in the conference allowing only 2768 yards and 25 TD's.

The Comet offense didn't look all that bad either. Running back Parks, who rushed for 1,503 yards and 15 touchdowns, was named to the allconference offensive first team. Wide receiver Demery and lineman Curt Dykes were named to the offensive second team.

Palomar's offense was also rated second in the conference with 4203 yards and 30 TD's.

Other honorable mention picks were Mitchell, Jawitz, Rhinehart,and running back Henry Thomas.

"We were disappointed that Jonathan Mitchell and our wide receivers didn't get more recognition ." says Coach Craft.

"We are not dissapointed with the season as much as we are frustrated .

We knew if we lost certain key players we would go down hill. Our last two games were indicative of that." says Craft. "We just weren't the kind of team to still play well with key players hurt."

All in all though, the football team has a lot to be proud of, although the win-loss record may not show that.

Both their offense and defense were rated second in the conference, which is considered one of the toughest in the nation. Plus, they have many talented freshman coming back next year. The Comets have plenty to look forward to.
