BRENDA MARTINEZ-GONZALEZ Copy Editor Yearbooks predict who will be “most likely to succeed,” but we rarely know if these prophecies are fulfilled. Four Poway Alumni worthy will be inducted into to Poway High's own Hall of Fame in its first annual recognition and auction event tonight at the Bernardo Winery. The ceremony will honor their achievements in helping the community, dedication to the fields business, athletics, arts, aca- demics, science, public service or community service, achieving that “success.” Poway's first inductees are former NBA player Jud Buechler, Mayor Don Higginson, physician and profes- sional violinist Mathew Fei, and former Qualcomm executive Jeffrey Belk. The idea of the Poway High School Hall of Fame was in- spired by Poway High's 50th an- niversary. “When we launched the 50th, Mr. Fisher thought of the idea to make some forum to recog- nize those who have done great things after graduation,” assis- tant principal Megan Battle said. “It would be good for kids here to know there have been students who have accomplished great things,” principal Scott Fisher said. Inductees are required to have attended Poway High for a minimum of two years, graduated with a diploma of a mini- mum of ten years ago and achieved as an individual and not as group. “None of it is based on what you did during high school, it's about what you did after,” Fisher said. After having graduated with three CIF basketball champion- ships, achieving Player of the year in 1986, and a 23.3 scor- ing average, Jud Buechler continued playing basketball in the University of Arizona where he played for Arizona's legendary coach Lute Olsen. From there Buechler pursued his basketball career for the next eleven years winning three championship rings in the NBA with the Chicago Bulls alongside with Michael Jordan. Graduating as the class of 95's Valedictorian, Mathew Fei charged through Stanford to obtain an undergraduate degree and then pursued a medical degree in Harvard medical school all while maintaining a career in music with the Boston Philhar- monic Orchestra. He is now a staff physician in Critical Care, Pulmonary, and Sleep Medicine in Seattle, Washington. Poway's current Mayor, Don Higginson, is being recognized for his accomplishments during his twenty-five elected year term as a city council official. Higginson is known for hav- ing strong dedication in helping to improve Poway's educational system. He secured funds for renovating an all-weather track and for the Performing Arts Center for Poway as well as providing for multipurpose rooms for both Meadowbrook and Twin Peaks. “It was a total surprise. I was very honored,” Mayor Don Hig- ginson, who was re-elected eight times, said. The four inductees were nominated from over hundreds of past graduates for the first Hall of Fame. Higginson has fond memories from Poway High such as teachers who befriended him, the friendly atmosphere and even recalls that “all the kids were much smaller than they are now.” Former Qualcomm executive Jeffrey Belk, Poway Alumni, is being recognized in this year's first annual Hall of Fame for be- ing a leading executive for Qualcomm. Belk is recognized for being a globally recognized thought leader in wireless technology.

Yearbooks predict who will be “most likely to succeed,” but we rarely know if these prophecies are fulfi lled. Four Poway Alumni worthy will be inducted into to Poway High's own Hall of Fame in its fi rst annual recognition and auction event tonight at the Bernardo Winery.
The ceremony will honor their achievements in helping the community, dedication to the fi elds business, athletics, arts, aca-demics, science, public service or community service, achieving that “success.” Poway's fi rst inductees are former NBA player Jud Buechler, Mayor Don Higginson, physician and profes-sional violinist Mathew Fei, and former Qualcomm executive Jeffrey Belk.
The idea of the Poway High School Hall of Fame was in-spired by Poway High's 50th an-niversary.
“When we launched the 50th, Mr. Fisher thought of the idea to make some forum to recog-nize those who have done great things after graduation,” assis-tant principal Megan Battle said.
“It would be good for kids here to know there have been students who have accomplished great things,” principal Scott Fisher said.
Inductees are required to have attended Poway High for a minimum of two years, graduated with a diploma of a mini-mum of ten years ago and achieved as an individual and not as group.
“None of it is based on what you did during high school, it's about what you did after,” Fisher said.
After having graduated with three CIF basketball champion-ships, achieving Player of the year in 1986, and a 23.3 scor-ing average, Jud Buechler continued playing basketball in the
University of Arizona where he played for Arizona's legendary coach Lute Olsen. From there Buechler pursued his basketball career for the next eleven years winning three championship rings in the NBA with the Chicago Bulls alongside with Michael Jordan.
Graduating as the class of 95's Valedictorian, Mathew Fei charged through Stanford to obtain an undergraduate degree and then pursued a medical degree in Harvard medical school all while maintaining a career in music with the Boston Philhar-monic Orchestra. He is now a staff physician in Critical Care, Pulmonary, and Sleep Medicine in Seattle, Washington.
Poway's current Mayor, Don Higginson, is being recognized for his accomplishments during his twenty-fi ve elected year term as a city council offi cial.
Higginson is known for hav-ing strong dedication in helping to improve Poway's educational system. He secured funds for renovating an all-weather track and for the Performing Arts
Center for Poway as well as providing for multipurpose rooms for both Meadowbrook and Twin Peaks.
“It was a total surprise. I was very honored,” Mayor Don Hig-ginson, who was re-elected eight times, said.
