TUDENT LIFE ,- IN Fell never for- ' get home- coming night! ex- claimed Leigh Rittmann, ju- nior princess, I was so over- whelmed with excitement when I heard the emcee announce my name! This comment was an exam- ple of emotions that Arlington ' s Homecoming Court exper- ienced on the night of Novem- ber 8, 1986. I was really surprised that I was chosen as sophomore prince at the Homecoming dance! I was also very ner- vous, commented Kenny Green. Despite all of the con- fusion over the homecoming game, everything seemed to work out fine, and I was really proud to be a part of the home- coming court. Students also commented on homecoming festivities this year. I liked the homecoming festivities this year. The carni- val, the game, and the dance. It gave students a great chance to become more involved with the school and its activities, added Heidi Hall, junior. When I was nominated in my WHAT IT REALLY FEELS LIKE TO TRIUMPH! 2nd period class, I had no idea I would end up being chosen as sophomore princess, stated Angela Miranda. That was such a big honor for me. I don ' t think I could ever forget that moment. Arlington ' s Homecoming Court consisted of Steve Pen- unuri and Rose Hartsock as homecoming king and queen, Dana Quintana and Leigh Ritt- mann as junior prince and prin- cess, Kenny Green and Angela Miranda as sophomore prince and princess, and Chad Ash and Melissa Wiese as freshman prince and princess. Homecoming was very differ- ent from the years in the past. This year there was a 1st run- ner up for homecoming queen. This person was Jeanette Tup- per. I was so excited to be cho- sen as first runner up as home- coming queen. Jeanette ex- plained, I think that it was quite an honor to be so close to winning considering how many other beautiful girls were cho- sen to be nominees. That was a very memorable moment for me. by Stephanie Gordon

HIGH SCHOOL ' 87 STRESSING THE POSITIVE Did you see the paper yesterday? was a common question that was heard and asl ed by many who received the Press-Enterprise on Sun- day, December 14, 1986. In an attempt to show readers of the newspaper what high school was really like, the Press Enterprise developed an eight day series called High School ' 86 . The articles covered some controversial subjects such as abortion, teenage sex and pregnancies, drug and alcohol abuse; and other subjects such as higher academic standards, the difference be- tween high schools in the 50 ' s and 60 ' s and the 80 ' s, teacher ' s hobbies and interests, and popu- lar hangouts on campus. The reporter who did the investigation for the articles, Wendy Borbath, posed as a student at Arlington for eight days. She attended several classes with students and did normal, everyday things such as the homework assignments, eat- ing in the school cafeteria, and getting her infor- mation by watching people in normal, everyday PEOPLES ' OPINIONS The Press-Enterprise articles could have been developed into a good series pf AHS had not been the pivotal point of the articles. It was not made clear that the situations writ- ten about are common in all schools, not just AHS, As it was. the articles perpetuated the stereotypes of high school students. Bridget StarKman. senior. ' ■| felt the articles were too negative and didn ' t look for the good things. We are a great school!! Mrs. Sandi Smith, secretary. HIGH SCHOOL ' 87 Simba Kali Special Report The ' up ' side of being a teenager in the ' 80 ' s routines. The Riverside Unified School District Board of Education Superintendent, George Lantz, and Stan Conerly gave Ms. Borbath permission to enroll as a student. As the Press reported, What was of special interest to the board of education was the reporter ' s unusual approach to the sto- ry: She would attend classes incognito as a regu- lar student for an inside view of what a modern high school is like, said William B. Wiley, board president. However, Mr. Stan Conerly, while in agreement, thought the articles would dwell on the positive, not the negative. It just didn ' t turn out to be what I thought it would be, he ex- pressed, Half of the articles were positive in nature, and acceptable, but I felt that they just missed the point. in this mini-magazine section (pgs. 38-43), Simba Kali hopes to hit the point; to cover the positive. by Christal Mozer Some of it (the articles) was false, but I found it interesting and thought most of it was ac- curate. Paul Patacios. 10th grade PERFORMING ON CAMPUS, the Golden Pride Band gives a sample of their talents to the people who attended the homecoming carnival. The band held concerts in the auditorium twice a year, in the winter and the spring. AT REHEARSAL, the treble choir practices a piece of music before a concert. Sometimes with special music pieces, another musical instru- ment was brought In, such as the harp. V STUDENT LIFE
