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

HIGH SCHOOL ' 87 PEERS " Besides the academic re- quirements, the things that the Press reported were of no real importance to society. That kind of information should stay in the high school. " James Sicard, sen- ior. Others express opinions " Oh my gosh, did you read about Arling- ton High School? " exclaimed Jane. This was heard around the city of Riverside after the December articles on High School ' 86 appeared in the local paper. Arlington Stu- dents and faculty weren ' t alone in reading the articles. Students that attended other local high schools also expressed their opinions. Former Ramona student, Shawn Anthony, stated " What was said about the smell in the parking lot wasn ' t true, espe- cially with campus aide. Bob Rule out there. " According to other people, the articles only covered a minority of students, not the majority. Ramona freshman, Beth Gil- more stated, " The articles just assumed what students thought, they didn ' t ask or get the true story. They didn ' t impress me, especially how AHS was presented. As expected, there was some agreement and disagreement with the articles. Poly junior, Claudia Lara revealed, " I didn ' t read the articles, but from what I heard it seemed unfair to cover a small amount of students and their opinions. " While the articles were obviously a hot topic at AHS, they may not have been dis- cussed widely at other schools. Many of the students who were contacted had not read the articles. A few were concerned and oth- ers " didn ' t get too upset, because after all, the articles weren ' t about our school, " ex- plained Claudia Lara. " When t went to Poly, no one thought much of the articles since it wasn ' t about Poly, but now that I go here, t realize that the articles weren ' t true and Arlington is a pretty coot school. " Richie Brower, tor. mer Poly student, sopho- more.
