Arlington High School - Simba Kali Yearbook (Riverside, CA)

EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES STIMULATE INTEREST Band, choir, badminton, SADD, swim- ming, yearbook, pep squad, ASB. What do these things have in common? They ' re among the many extra-curricular activities that involve many hours of practice and preparation. Many students participated in the school activities. " I joined yearbook staff, because I knew it would be a good way to get a small view of everything on campus, " explained Christal Mozer. Because of the recent rule of maintaining at least a " C " average, some students found it difficult to keep their grades up and commit their time to an activity. " I had to rearrange my schedule to accommodate volleyball. I spend odd hours doing my homework between practices, sleeping, and eating, " revealed Julie Aochi. Another reason students were involved . with activities was because they were inter- ested in the field. Jo Ann Biegel comment- ed, " I joined Mock Trial team, because I was interested in law, and that ' s what the team was about, so it gave me a little prep- aration for my future. " Extra-curricular activities were an inte- gral part of the school ' s atmosphere. With- out football, what would all the kids do on Friday nights? Or without the band, where would they go to hear Christmas music? The point is, those that were involved gave a lot of themselves to be a part of a team; Arlington ' s Team. RECEIVING MONEY, FFA member, Darlene Mateyka sells another car- nation for Valentine ' s Day. In addi- tion to having fund raisers, Future Farmers of America was also in- volved in equestrian parades, exhib- its at fairs, show animals, and sell- ing the animals they raised. HANDING OVER THE MIKE, Diana Keers introduces Coach Jimmy Winn. Coach Winn was an alumni from Arlington, graduating in 1983, and also the cross country/track CHEERING ON THEIR TEAMMATES, the J.V. Basketball team also stud- ies the game. Basketball was a pop- ular sport that attributed to many after school practices and games. I really enjoyed being a man- ager for basketball the last two years, and I was upset when I couldn ' t find the time to do it in my senior year. " Karey Brandt, senior. " I wish the Press articles would have covered more about the extra things so many kids do on campus. At least that ' s more positive than drugs, and probably more viv- id. " Melissa Wild, freshman. ■■The article on ' Stud Wall ' wasn ' t true. People don ' t al- ways feel that way and it ' s not where all the ' cool ' people hang out. It isn ' t all black and white. ■ Laurie Woodland, ju- nior. HIGH SCHOOL ' 87
