SENIORS Making The Grades Wb £ . V wft » ,- 4 . ; ■• 1 r - L L L Ji E 1 A « KEEPING THE GRADES. Kim Jones studies for her government test. Government was one of the classes Kim had to pass to graduate. rest, homework, reading books. Well, that was what seniors went thr ough in order to graduate. Kim Jones, sen- ior, confessed, That government and eco- nomics take a lot of time. I was pressured to get class assignment and homework assign- ments in on time. Mark Kennedy claimed that calculus test and homework made most stressful classes to pass in order to graduate. Sometimes the hardest part was staying up all night trying to study for the test. James Choi stated that reading and study- ing for test and doing his homework and getting homework in on time was the worse part of trying to pass his classes to gra- duate. Seniors needed to pass government and English in last years of high school to graduate. I think the hardest class to pass or over- come was economics. You had to keep up with the class at all times and if you fell behind it was harder. It was stressful, be- cause being a senior and the last semester, at that time, it was do or die, explained Felipe Gopar. In addition to taking govern- ment and English, some people had to take a double dose, for a variety of reasons. Kristy Garcia went abroad and took Ameri- can Literature, but not for credit. Taking two English classes keeps me on the ball, but it will definitely be worth it when June 23rd comes around. At this point, I ' ll do anything to graduate! she realized. I think that economics gave a lot of diffi culty to some students . . . but I was glad I had Mr. Diamond because he gave good ex- amples and he was an interesting teacher , commented Doug Jacobs. Carla Wilson summarized, If I had the time before my senior year, I would have taken government and economics so I wouldn ' t have to stress it for a whole year. MUST PASS CLASSES • 85

SENIORS Ideas Exchanged We all get along great . . . you can ' t get anything done with people you don ' t like! claimed Lisa Ellerd, class secretary. f end delegates from Ramona, North I and Norco, add in a few representa- tives from Corona, Hemet, and Palm Springs, top it off with Arlington ' s senior class officers, and what do you get? The bimonthly Ivy League ASB Meeting, that ' s what! Although the meeting ' s setting rotated from school to school, the theme remained the same: class officers compared ideas for activities and fundraisers to improve their own ASB (Associated Student Body). In January, everyone who attended the Ivy League Meeting got a chance to see Norco ' s Nominating Convention live. Our conven- tion basically followed the same format as Norco ' s, explained President Theresa Cor bitt. While the senior class officers were recep- tive to new creative ideas, they were also in charge of traditional events such as bacca- laureate, grad night, senior breakfast, CAP assembly and graduation. In addition to this work load, specific officers participated in other events. This year in ASB I have been involved in the homecoming carnival, Christmas door decorating contest, and dances, said Senior Class Vice-President Leigh Rittmann. Being a senior class officer is not all work and no play though. Class Treasurer Anna Notaro exclaimed, I thought that our ' After Homecoming Luncheon ' was fun. It was our reward for the successful homecoming. The officers, along with other ASB mem- bers, also enjoyed pizza parties, an end-of- theyear banquet, and an awards banquet at RCC held once a semester. As Anna con- cluded, We did the job right. It wasn ' t just work, it was a lot of fun, too! SENIOR OFFICERS • 87
