Gala I Events V by Cyndie Dolbear, Susan Healy On the MAIDEN VOYAGE of any ship, the pas- sengers play a large part in deciding if the ship will succeed in its mission and continue with a long and prosperous life, or whether it will never leave port. Without supportive passengers, there would be no need for ships. The MAIDEN VOYAGE of Diamond Bar High School proved to have such passengers. With a student body of well over 1,100 students in its first year of existence, the Brahmas maintained a spirit and pride in themselves and their school that surpassed the expectations of many. I didn ' t think people would keep the spirit they showed the first day of school for very long after the newness of the buildings wore off, commented sophomore Gia Hanley, but I was wrong. People always kept the school clean and threw away their trash because they had pride in themselves and their school, not just because Mr. Holmes told them to. That pride is some- thing that will last for- ever. The Student Life section covers the gala events as well as the feelings and viewpoints (| of the student body that helped to set the traditions and mold the lifestyles for students during the MAIDEN VOYAGE of DBHS. A LISTENING INTENTLY, junior Kurt King rap- idly takes notes in his Comp III English class. Many students looked forward to weekend activities as a means of relieving school pressures. WITH EYES TRANSFIXED on the speaker, freshmen EIke Bunner and Andrea Twombley ab- sorb every word. Pep rallies gave students a wel- come change of pace from usual class schedules.

W xcitement rose as fourteen bus driv- l ers flipped fourteen levers to open I I the fourteen doors that let loose the over-spirited students to descend upon Knott ' s Berry Farm. After a hard day back at school, they could finally release their tensions and have some fun. No ride was too challenging for them. In fact, for some students, the rides weren ' t challenging enough. But wherever DBMS stu- dents go, excitement can ' t be too far behind. Unafraid of the ferocious waterfalls of the log ride, they found it necessary to start water fights. Then the overwhelmed employees fought back. They kicked off these boisterous students. When we came off soaking wet, they told us not to come back, related sopho- more Marc Bloomenstein. Even the wild twists and turns of the cork- screw did not prevent spirited escapades. In the middle of a run, the tram of cars abruptly stopped, alarming some of its passengers. Hu- said. They got mad and threatened to call us back in. The students ' vivacious spirit extended be- yond the rides. While watching one of the shows, junior Niki Rhone began to imitate the performers. They then selected her to dance with them on stage. I was really surprised when they picked me, she stated. It was my big chance to dance in front of the whole world. No one was spared by the rambunctious students. Even the poor, innocent Brahma bull was plagued by students trying to get him to pose for a picture. And other Knott ' s patrons foolishly believed juniors Robin Hunt and Eric Ethier when they pretended that they were from Australia. Although Knott ' s Berry Farm may never re- cover from the DBMS onslaught, the students will always remember the fun they had on the first day of school. As freshman Amy Kuhnert put it, It was a blast! v «t . Hdvc be rry bla sl bert Kim, junior, had stuck out his foot, creat- ing a safety hazard. I didn ' t think putting my foot up in front of me would put me in any danger, he explained. The peddle and row boats in the lagoon were also a site for students antics. Growing bored of the endless rowing, junior Mark Dod- son decided to switch boats with junior Bryan White out in the water. We kept on going behind the island and switching boats, Mark A OFF AND ROLLING, a student begins a trip on the Loop Trainer. Thts and other spinning rides were very popular among the students. • EXHILARATED from the Parachute Jump, sopho- mores Debbie McCune and Annette Johnson disembark. Friends make the rides more fun, commented Annette. ■ ARMS IN THE AIR, sophomores Marc Bloomenstein, Ryan O ' Connor, David Lee, and Phillip Smart descend the log ride waterfall. They were later barred from the ride due to water fights. Knott ' s Trip Gala Events
