Anticipati Day by day, the new school takes shape While students coped with using the former Alessandro Middle School as their campus, they eagerly awaited the completion of the new Canyon Springs campus at the northwest end of town. Though many students were not able to visit the new campus, those who did felt pride and enthusiasm. Student gov- ernment leaders got a preview tour of the site Sept. 24. What I feel about this school is ex- citement, Jennifer Landtiser, the direc- tor of athletics for the Associated Stu- dent Body, said. As a brand new school, we get to set tradition for later years. What we have at Canyon Springs is that both the teachers and kids have better attitudes, and in years to come Canyon Springs is going to become bigger and better. Teachers who visited the new building Sept. 1 8 were equally enthusiastic. Some had moved great distances for the chal- lenge of opening a new school; others had also made a major decision: to leave Mor- eno Valley High School for the opportu- nities Canyon Springs had to offer. We will have one of the nicest high schools in Southern California to go w ith our excellent students and teachers, said Mr. Tom Chelbana, formerly of Moreno Valley High School. We will have the best school, because a lot of peo- ple are working hard to make it that way. SI L UtN I lOl R: Studcnl government rcprcscnuilivcs and Mr. Doug Stockham.

Halftim Royalty crowned In the view of freshman Marvin Jordan, Canyon Springs ' first Homecoming was a stunning success. Even though this is the start of a brand-new school, he added, the students gave a spectacular performance. Two days before the crowning of the Homecoming Queen and Princess, held during halftime of the Nov. 6 Homecoming game, there had been two assemblies to introduce the entire court to the student body. Each candidate had been introduced to soft music; then, as each was escorted across the darkened gymnasium floor, a few brief statements about her had been read. Following those assemblies, the students had voted for their choices. During the halftime show, the candidates arrived at the field in open cars. Following the band ' s show, the court members took the field, escorted, in most cases, Lispense sizzles by their fathers. A few moments of suspense passed, then the winners were announced. Angela Moreno had been elected the Freshman Princess, and Rainbow Meyers had been chosen as Canyon Springs ' first Homecoming Queen. I never dreamed I would ' ve become queen, she said, though my friends encouraged me. Halftime ended with a procession of court and floats around the field. The following day the Homecoming Dance was held. It was a semi-formal event, and Lifetouch Portrait Studio was present to take photos, for those who wished to commemorate the last event of the first Canyon Springs Homecoming. Homecoming 15
