' :s ' California ' s drought definitely ended this year when over two months of alternating sun and rain opened the doors to second semester. Mud slides, closed roads, and flooding occurred in Riverside, as rain-soaked students struggled across a soggy campus to second semester classes. Some preferred to shoe ski across the muddy grass, while others only wanted to keep from falling. Thoughts of summer and spring vacation returned as Arlington and California waited for the storms to end. Students remembered and lo oked forward to days at the river, the beach, or in Mexico. They reminisced about past spring vacations and wondered if upcoming plans would be rained out. In the past, second semester was full of days of swimming, shorts, baseball, and gymnastics. Now there were no thoughts about the beach, comparing tans, and getting out of school. It didn ' t seem as though these memories could ever happen as January and February rained their slow way past. Would it rain on the prom at the Ontario Speedway, and what about that promised walk on the beach? What about Grad Nite and graduation? Would the days to kick back and get a tan never come? Arlington ' s students wondered, frustratingly waiting it out. li Bonnie Starr makes her point during a senior class meet- ing. 2.

Fashions opened doors into the past. Skirts were lengthened; lace was seen; cowl necklines appeared. Vests and pjitter returned, accompanied by pastel shades and hues. Hawaiian floweres were placed behind California ears . Trends seemed to have taken a step backward to canture each person ' s ovm style and whim through his or her own apparel. Yet, belii ' nd it all lurked the pood old steadies like Levis, Dittos, tennies , earth shoes, clogs, thongs, and of course, T-shirts, blank or pictured. Arlington students competed among themselves, the pacesetters and the bums-silently and without hostility. Not everyone played the game, but enough to keep the compe- tition going. Others dressed for that special someone, scheming trying to catch an eye. Dressing cool or chic, fancy or flowered, and sometimes, forgetting ■Pashion for corn-Port . The nation was stunned and saddened at the death of Elvis Presley in August of 1977. More than one generation of fans holds a clear memory of the King of Rock-N- Roll. Questions and mystery still surrounds the man who became a legend. Soon after the death of Elvis, Bing Crosby, another of the great entertainers passed away. He left a legacy of movies, specials, recordings, and vast memories filled with talent and song. 17
