Upon Entering The School Scene The biggest myth about freshmen was that they were hermits who rushed home everyday after school to watch the Smurfs on television with cookies and a glass of milk in their hands or to finish their homework by 5:00p.m. in order to go to bed extra early. Believe it or not, they did have a social life. They enjoyed all the things fthe upperclass- men might have difficulty swallowing this onel that other classes enjoyed. Yes, all things except for the privilege of driving. Movies, football games, school dances, and parties were not for- eign to the freshmeng they enjoyed all of the above. Stubborn upperclassmen still refused to remove the old stereo- type that was pinned to all freshmen. This year, the youngest members of the school made an impact that broke hu- miliating traditions of picking on the freshmen. Many of the freshmen found their source of social life right here at school. Clubs and sports became a social life in themselves. Although time-consuming, a little help from friends made the work not only bearable but fun as well. Foot- ball games also attracted a large crowd of freshmen. The bleachers became a place to meet old friends and make new ones, not to mention school dances which were strongly supported by the freshmen. The huge success of the new and improved dances with the special effects of lighting and giant video screen was greeted with freshman en- thusiasm. Junior high school was never like this. Some freshmen took a different route for their source of amusement. Fresh- man Carlos Cervantes proudly specu- lated, I just like to mess around. May' be skate around the neighborhood with my friends. Sports Knot necessarily school-sponsoredl provided a chance to meet other people. Freshman John Esser, who considered himself to be the quiet-type stated, I played soccer after school or sometimes surfed at 'Fressles California . One unusual freshman had stars in hr eyes. 'il write and sing lead for a new wave band called Ataxia. We practice in the garage when we have a chance, explained Lucy Gonzales. As for the vampires and night creatures that lurked among the freshman class, socializing took place at parties and under 21 nightclubs. Whatever the choice, be it parties, football games, sports, school-activities, or even a rock band, freshmen found ways of expressing themselves and breaking the old tradition of associating them with boredom. No longer were they stuck in the dull freshman rut but they were now considered a future breed to take over the school. Any last comments? Freshman Ralph DeLoera spoke up, Don't make fun of freshmen because we're smarter than you think We aref' Freshman Gwenael Nlatos devours a scomptious sliceiof pizza as freshman Krista Kasten eyes her friend's food at the Fiesta. For some freshmen, it was the first time they attended the eventg they found the fiesta to be a great place to have fun with friends. X . H ,,... ---- J? u . f ...W 'xr ':-use -ms . ..

An excited group of faculty mem- bers anticipate catching a glimpse of the Pope as his motorcade trav- els through Los Angeles. The exper- ience was valuable to teachers and students alike. A friendly handshake is a sign of love as Monsignor John Cremins greets freshman Tom Polkinghorn between classes. Monsignor was a source of inspiration to the campus community. uv i W , W., 5 J Z ug si -c n .l sf 5 i i 'Ag I. Y . 5 i xl ' 3. . if I Q ,Q tgnfifgm lr H ,,i,,.t I .
