A DECADE OF STARSPOT ACTIVITY ON THE ECLIPSING SHORT-PERIOD RS CANUM-VENATICORUM STAR WY CANCRI - 1988-1997

We present optical photometry of the short-period eclipsing RS CVn sys tem WY Cancri for the years 1988-1997. For each light curve, we model the distortion waves in order to study the behavior of starspots in th is system. After removing the spot effects from the light curves, we m odel the cleaned data to obtain system parameters. We also note change s in the luminosity of the primary star that are not explained by the spot variation.
