W , . X ff!!! fl! M!! ,qixxxxxxxxifzsiix ShsXXXXXXXXgi1y,,,, ee Student Involvement ' Success Student involvement in the fi- esta has always been a tremendous boost to its success. This year the tradition lived on. Students used their own time and energy to as- sist the school in one of its biggest events and money-raisers of the year. The selling of an extra book of fiesta tickets was emphasized and encouraged. The incentives of free dress and prizes of money to the highest seller of extra tickets were also a help in selling these books. Those who sold their tickets were put into a daily drawing, from which they could win Christmas Ball Bids, tickets to the Fall Pro- duction, and many more fun and exciting prizes. The fiesta profits were dedi- cated to repairing the damage to the school suffered by the earth- quake of October 1. Students asked people and businesses to sponsor their club or class booth. These sponsorships not only raised money for the school, but also for the clubs. Students were also there when it came to lending a helping hand. Many students signed-up to work booths at the fiesta. They took time out of their own lives to come and experience the feeling of in- tensity and excitement in the fies- ta atmosphere. Fun wasn'tjust go- ing to the fiesta for the rides, it was also working in the booths. This gave them more time to spend with their friends and fa- vorite members of the faculty. It wasn't tedious work. It was fun work that brought out the best in all people. 28 Student Lne Seniors Lisa Villareal, Peter Bonsangue, Richard Vollaire, and Ray Rocha occupy the Fudge Booth. Run by the Recreation, Appetite, and Design Club, the booth sold hot fudge and rnany other sweets, such as lollipops and Gurnmi Bears.

Q ij' ae was High MW? At Fiesta Fiesta may have been a lot of work, but it was also a lot of fun. High school students, with busy schedules, made time for their good friends and the many fun- filled activities. The weekend of October the 16th thru the 18th, was dedicated to work as well as frolicking in the festive atmo- sphere of the Bishop Amat Fiesta. After the football game against Saint Bernards on Friday, October 16, students rushed over to the glitter of the lights to begin spend- ing their hard earned money, or for some, their parent's hard earned money on all the games and rides. Food was another tradi- tional delight. After a hard day at school, food was what most stu- dents wanted. Pizza, Mexican food, Filopino food, snow cones, and candy were just a few of the scrumptious items sold. ln big, red lights was seen the word ZIPPER, an action ride in the middle of the field. A line a mile long waited to get on that ride. After twisting, turning, and flipping around, stomachs didnit necessarily feel the same. For parents, students, alumni, and their friends, the Fiesta was just one big party with special ef- fects, games, and prizes. Many walked around, enjoyed the sights, and talked to friends they hadn't seen for ages. In between time, food was enjoyed, games were played, and some lucky people took home a few stuffed animals. Fiesta was a time for friends, fun, and food. The problem - it only happens once a year. So many made the most of the way they spent this special occasion. Clinching arms while walking to another ride, sophomores Antoinette McGee. Brenda Wisniewski, Angel Zarate, Veronica Garcia, and Patrice Adkins share some iaughs. They enjoyed each others friendf ship in and out of class. Fiesta 27
