PHOENICIAN
THROUGH THE YEARS1966-1971
Kennedy was President, Maris hit 61, and ground was being turned for a new school in the east valley - Talley Academy, In the past 25 years, the school, now known to us as Phoenix Country Day, has exploded into what we see today. From its modest beginnings - a couple of classrooms and an auditorium/ cafeteria named after a Mr. Clayton B. Burch - PCDS had increased six fold in enrollment to become one of the finest school in the Phoenix metropolitan area.
Granted, it was not an easy road. From zoning restriction squabbles to enormous debts, PCDS had its share of troubles. But the school, as the motto goes, Perservered, and now we reap the rewards of the blood, sweat, and tears of the past. In the following pages, we will take a look back, as well as a look ahead, to what PCDS was, is, and might be.
An age of miracles. The Apollo program, led by Neil Armstrong, set man on the moon; The New York Mets, led by Tom Seaver, won the World Series; and PCDS, led by John I. Yellott, quadrupled from its original size. In addition to a new science building came three new classrooms, a boy’s locker room, a wrestling room (the old band room), and in 1971, PCDS received a grant for the John I. Yellott Aquacenter.
These years of PCDS history were not only characterized by growth, but by the personality of Headmaster Yellott. Behind his leadership, we turned around financially and enrollment increased to almost 400 students.
During these five years, Nixon, Brun- ing, Houle, and Singer arrive on the scene.
1961-1966From the Bay of Pigs to the start of
Vietnam, the early sixties was a rocky road for the United States as well as for PCDS. The first few years of the school’s existence were characterized by deficit financing and small enrollment.
But, as in all things, with the bad, came the good. The deficit was conveniently taken care of annually by two or three “ angels” on the Board of Trustees, and enrollment steadily increased over the five year period.
As John, Paul, Ringo, and George hit the top of the charts, PCDS’ football team was hitting the gridiron. Football team? Yes, PCDS had a full-fledged, and completely awful, football team in the early sixties. The school also was developing a drama program which, under the leadership of one David O. Raymond, performed much more impressively than the football team did.
As this period in PCDS history came to an end, Lyndon Johnson and Chet Seroka had already completed two years of service in their respective positions.

AND SO ON1972-1976
A time of changes. While the fashion world was taking a turn for the worse, PCDS was making some monumental changes for the better.
Not only were there new buildings (the completion of the Aquacenter and four new tennis courts) but there were changes in the curriculum. The computer became part of our program. Pursuit o f Perspectives (now New Horizons) was added. The football team was dropped for good, and a concrete foundation for a financially successful future
was laid.We saw a new headmaster, Mr.
Robert Pierce, and a new Upper School Dean, Mr. James Roof. A new Director o f College Counseling was found in J976 in Mr. Paul Schweikher, and Madame Arlette Jacques, Mr. Robert Wilson, and Mr. Les Felton, Jr. jumped on the PCDS band wagon.
1977-1986This decade in PCDS history saw
us truly become the fine institution we are today. Buildings sprung up
from every where (The Peter S, Firestone Memorial Upper School builds ing. The Gymnasium, and the music building, to name a few). Enrollment grew to an all time high, and PCDS was accepted into the prestigious Cum Laude Society.
Dr. Joel C. Monell was the PCDS headmaster for these ten years, and led the school to times of financial stability and prosperity.
In closing the book of the past, we take a sentimental sigh, and look towards the future. . .

1987 AND INTO THE FUTURE
I
Right: Three, count them, three stooges.
¥ 1 7 ow! What a year! It was a W year o f excitement and
spirit. With a new Head of School to lead us, PCDS redefined the word learning. Whether it was in the classroom or on the sports field all the students, from Lower School to Upper School, could be seen having a blast.
As we proceed into our second 25 years, we can only imagine where PCDS is heading. We have our Ten Year Plan, of course, but that doesn’t tell all. For all we know, PCDS could become a nationally ranked basketball power or Mr, Bruning could quit teaching to run for president. Anticipation. . .

LUNCH-A NOURISHING EVENT
Eating lunch was a controversial subject at Phoenix Country Day. You either liked
what you ate or you ate it without a choice. The Lower and Middle Schools seemed to be quite content, with their weekly menjjs at the cafeteria. And, except f ° r the p^jseraple two weeks in October, the Seniors were satisfied with their off campus lunch excursions, especially when Toph was buying. They roamed freely from Pete’s to Taste. The Juniors, when they finally got the all-mighty O ff Campus Privilege, rejoiced in their newly found freedom.
I’ ll have the Filet Mignon, please.
There was a group of unsung heroes, however, who had to make the daily pilgrimage to the dreaded lunch truck. These lower classmen survived and you could always find at least someone on a diet.

Gimme a P. . . C. D SHSpirit, what does that word
mean? Well, if you don’t know, all you had to do was to take a look at the PCD S campus during the 1986-87 school year. From the start, our first pep rally coupled with blue and gold week, our spirit has, as the cliche goes, soared.
With Dave and Dave leading the charge, we saw the Eagle Spirit increase 10 fold, enough to hold us over the summer.

IT’S A LIVINGJ 1 ' rying to describe the typi-
1 cal school life of a PCDS student in one word would be like trying to eat spaghetti with chop-sticks. The PCDS student body is an extremely varied one, and to each, his own. What we do during our frees, lunch, our classes vary from class to class, period to period, and person to person. Som e study, some sleep, some play Quad Football, or Lecture Hall TV Tag, whatever it is we enjoy it to the fullest!

HEAD’S MESSAGETo the Class of 1987:
You all, with your two Davids at the helm, have provided a spirited positive tone for the school year. I am grateful to you, my first Senior Class at PCDS, for your leadership and great enthusiasm.
You are a group with diverse talents and interests now, and I urge you to remain always interested enthusiastic individuals.
Your academic, extracurricular and personal experiences at PCD S will be part of you always. You will look back on these years with an ever changing perspective. Remember us and return.
Margret J. Madden Head of the School
play and just are.
We, the class of 1987, dedicate this yearbook to you, Mr. Seroka, because we love you when. . .

A Memorial to Victor Verbalaitis
(Verb)We miss him. . .
Sometimes I forget you’re goneI just expect to see your face and see your smile
It hits me like the wind strikes before a storm the leaves violently swaying almost hysterically
Reach realities confrontation.You are gone from me and my world. To, I hope,
A place all your own.A place that holds you in such esteem
A s I didA place that acknowledges your ability
To give and give and give. . .Sometimes, I’ll speak out inside,
Turning quickly to see your look of recognition.Seeing an emptiness where you should be
Sometimes all I can do is focus on everything that should be and isn’t.
It’s a frustration like none I’ve never felt before.I feel helpless I feel lost I miss you.

Fun and excitement were two prominent features in the Lower School this year. A s a newcomer to PCDS, Dean Worthington noticed the students’ enthusiasm right away, “My first impression w as the willingness of the students to try new learning experienr'-- ” The stu
dents showed their eagerness and enthusiasm in everything they did, from their work in the classroom to their play on the playground. Through both academics and a c t i v i t i e s , the L o w e r Schoolers made the most of their PCDS experience.

THE MIDDLEMENThe Middle School was full
of active, eager, and growing students. Thanks to the faculty, the atmosphere was one in which they learned and had fun at the same time. The students strived for excellence in not only their academic studies, but also in their sports activities and in their electives. The Middle School stressed work before play, but encouraged both for the students. Teachers were friends, and always were available to the students for help, advice, or just to joke around with. This added to the personable and friendly feeling generated in the Middle School. These qualities are what makes the PCD S Middle School a special place to be.

AT THE TOPFrom rowdy seniors to “ little
freshmen” , the Upper School has grown into a place that the students can be proud to be a part of. The spirit days, the lunches in the quad, the intramural competitions, and many more activities have all helped to add to the rising spirit and the sense of community in the Upper School. This sense of community is felt throughout the faculty as well as the students.These special student-teacher relationships help add to a relaxed and enjoyable atm osphere. PCDS, with its already well-established reputation for academic excellence, can be expecting great things coming up in the future.

FRESHMENY et another record setting
Freshm en C lass! The Class of ’90 is the biggest class to hit the PCDS Upper School. While this class was an energetic bunch, they were, to put it delicately, Freshmen, and with Freshmen come all those wonderful things that Freshmen are prone to do. This class was no exception to the rule, but, in the end, they did leave the rest of the school with the feeling that they had the potential to become real contributors in the Upper School. If they survive the summer, this m ass of Frosh may even turn into Sophomores!

SOPHOMORESF inally not Freshmen any
more, the class of ’89 began to gain a little respect. Whether it was on the sports field or in the classroom, this year’s Sophomores started taking roles as leaders. They began to do things right, proving that, next year, they would be worthy of becoming Upperclassmen. They also proved themselves to be the most diverse class in the Upper School. From the start of this class to the ‘Enda’ it, each individual could be found doing his own thing. Skaters, intellectuals, rockers, jocks, musicians . . . you name it, and this class had it. The year ended with visions of off-campus privileges, English III, and all those other things associated with becoming a member of the few, the proud, the Upperclassmen.

JUNIORSC hange - that one word de
scribes perfectly the 1986-1987 school year as it pertained to the Class of ’88. Off-Campus adventures, driving a car, college anticipation and preparation, and the planning of The Prom were just a few of the many new responsibilities the Juniors undertook, and the class undertook them in stride. From the car wash to college nights to Tokyo Express and back again, the Juniors went “ full steam ahead” into what ever they did. In other words, the class set the pace and dared the rest of the school to try and follow. With Seniorhood right around the corner, these new “ leaders and shapers” should make the 1987-1988 school year at least as fun, exciting, and successful as this year was.

class of 1987 has said its final goodbye to the white stuccoed walls of Phoenix Country Day. No longer will Dave & Dave humor us at morning meeting. Gone are the days when “Toph’s buying.” After thirteen years at PCDS, lifers Lara Sos- now and Catherine Baggott are gone, too. No more Rhett, Emily, John, and Kevin who succeeded with flying colors in their pursuit in becoming Nick McKay disciples. All of them are off to become the low men on the totem poles - Freshmen once again. O ff to colleges and universities in all corners of the United States.
With all this in mind, the PCDS Upper School bids a very, very fond farewell, knowing and hoping that you’ll come visit us sometime very, very soon. W e’ll all miss you a whole lot.

STUDENT SENATE
David Cesal and David Friedman Student Senate Co-Presidents
This year’s Student Senate served as the driving force behind everything in the school. Whether it be Pep Rallies, Ok- toberfests, Dances, Spirit Days, or anything else, the Senators always put on a class act. Led by Co-Presi-
u2 dents David Friedman and David Cesal (the imfamous “ D
squared” ), this organization of representatives from each class was one major reason that the 1986-87 school year turned out the way it did. We all owe a great big “ thank you” to the entire Senate for making this past year a great one.

VARSITY GOLFExtremely respectable - two
words that best describe the Varsity Golf Team. Under the leadership of Coaches Mr. Dashnaw and Mr. Martin as well as Captain Lou Werner, the Eagle golfers compiled a respectable record while competing against schools that were, in some instances, 15 times our size. Over the course of the season, Lou was the medalist (low scorer of the entire match) 3 times and Freshman Brett Walton accomplished the feat once. The team, while having a great year, also has a bright future. With Seniors Eric Werner, Gary Linhart, Bennett Hopper, and Peter Spiegel leading the way, next year’s team will have 7 of 8 players returning. Fore!

VARSITY CHEERLEADERSFor the second year in a row, the PCDS Cheer
leaders helped to boost the spirit and excitement at the Eagle’s games. Their enthusiasm and skill helped performing teams to defeat opponents. This year, for the first time, there were two cheerleading squads. There was a Varsity Team (captained by Heather Stocker) and a Junior Varsity Team (captained by Carrie Judd). The cheerleaders practiced three times a week, which definitely paid off. With the success they have had, the team, first organized in 1985, will continue to grow and to last.

VARSITY SOCCERThe 1986 Phoenix Country Day
School Varsity Soccer Team had a magnificent year. Being the state champions for three previous consecutive years, the soccer team proved once again they had the potential, although they were not in a league. As of October 28, the Varsity Soccer team had a record of 10-0 and tying in two games. A place in the play-offs would have most certainly been guaranteed with such respectable showings. However, the team ’s performance did not go unnoticed as it clinched the Challenge Cup against Judson School in three straight victories.
Overall, the entire team put out 100% effort. However, several members deserve special recognition. Jason Hackett showed excellent athletic abilities by building up plays for the offense and adding a couple o f goals to Right: “ Out o f my way!”
help balance the attack. Kris Stathakis displayed great skills and leadership as the captain. Kevin Wernick, John Josephson, and Hugh Daley all remained solid defensemen. Apichai Shipper and Greg Janis should be noted for their abilities to hustle about in the foward position. Finally, Billy Dumone was a remarkable player who always seemed to have foiled the opponent’s defense by scoring 23 of the team ’s 57 points in the season.
There is no secret to why the soccer team performed so well. One man must be given credit for its success, Sole Antonijevic. He stressed cooperation and team work among players. He also shared many tips from his professional soccer career. The 1986 Varsity Soccer Team will always be a team to be remembered.

VARSITY VOLLEYBALLThis year was a year of
‘firsts’ for the Varsity Volleyball Team. First year in the Class C Division; first year of play in the gymnasium; first year of evening games; and many more ‘firsts’ that are too numerous to mention.
It was also a very difficult year. After losing four of six starters from last year’s team, we began the process of rebuilding. Moving into a new, and much tougher, league made the process even more

difficult. We lost eight games by three points or less. We lost three matches by two points each.
It was an exciting year in many aspects. If you were in the crowd at the matches, you witnessed some great volleyball!!
The most exciting ‘first’ is the first PCDS student to be
honored by the C lass C League. Lara Sosnow was honored with All State Second Team for 1986. Congratulations!!

In early November, the Men’s Varsity and Junior Varsity Basketball teams started practicing for what they hoped to be a very successful season. With Coach Curtis Perry at the helm, The Varsity team bolted out to two consecutive victories in the new Class ‘C ’ League. This was not, unfortunately, a foreshadowing of what was to come, however, because the Eagles would proceed to win only one of their remaining games. Led by co-cap- tains Lou Werner and Apichai Shipper, the team, however, hung tough in almost every game, losing numerous close
games.The Junior Varsity team, in
sharp contrast, although falling one game short of a winning record (7-8), compiled the best record of any JV basketball team in PCD S history, an impressive feat considering that they also had the largest schedule of any JV team. The team was spiritually led by Peter ^Sleepy” Spiegel and Bennett “ Brickster” Hopper, while Gary Linhart and Brett Groh led the team on the court. In addition, Coach Brian Ellingson served as an inspiration to the entire team.

WOMEN’S VARSITY BASKETBALLStruggle. That one word best
describes the year the Womens Varsity Basketball team experienced in 1987. The spirited team, with rookies abound, struggled through the year with a losing record, but not a loosing attitude. The team and its coach, the patient and knowledgeable Ms. Linda Heberling, although disappointed with the
past, are excited about the future. With many players returning, the team plans to turn around its losing ways, and become the first women’s basket
ball team in PCDS history to enc the season with a winning re cord. The future looks bright.

BASEBALL & SOFTBALLAs the 1987 Mens’ Varsity Baseball
team heads into the 1987 season, we look back to 1986. The 1986 season saw the Eagles defeat the Judson Cougars for the State Independant Baseball Championship. The team was led by the strong pitching arms o f Seniors Elliot Wernick and All-Stater Tim Richey as well as All- State catcher Greg Janis. Outstanding defense was provided by Kevin Wernick. Kris Stathakis, with a big bat and glove, was named the State Tournament’s Most Valuable Player. Going into 1987, the Eagles past successes have earned them a Pre-Season ranking by The Arizona Re
public o f fourth in the state. The team will depend on the leadership o f their Tri-Captains Kevin Wernick, Greg Janis, and Kris Stathakis. Looking back at 1986, the Womens’ Varsity Softball team won the State Independent Championship.
Behind the pitching o f Jennefer Wilson and the leadership o f Tina Simonds, the Eagles won their first Independent softball title. Blending together timely hitting and excellent defense, the Eagles were clearly the class o f the league. That same excitement and energy should be witnessed throughout the entire 1987 Womens’ Varsity Softball season.

Seniors Delegate authority-even if you have none.P. Madden
Well as you may have guessed, the year has ended and we have graduated beyond the status of the lowly high school senior and into the sophisticated college freshman league. With this rise in status I took it upon myself to issue some words of advice I’ve accumulated over the years. All original, really!!!
S A T ’s are only as hard as you make them.-Any high school stress counselor
O f course this means nothing now that you’ll never have to take them again.Be honest-at least when you have to.
