PN- PASSENGERS By Kelly Ellis, AnjI Hancock, and Cindy Johnson ith reservations confirmed a month in advance passengers clammored up the gangway ready to shove off towards highseas and unknown ports. Each of them eagerly awaited a chance to become a part of history in the making on board the MAIDEN VOYAGE of Diamond Bar High. Without any set traditions due to the absence of VIP ' S (seniors) and no previous voyages to emulate, passengers took full advantage of their freedom. Each, whether first, second, or third class (junior, sophomore, or freshman) worked together to create a cruise that would set a high standard for future voyages. First class passenger Kari Simon explained, Everyone will be following in our footsteps. We ' re setting the pace for future generations. While Valerie Holiguin agrees, Diamond Bar ' s first year was filled with events that will mold the lives of the children of today as well as the chil- dren of tomorrow. Second class passenger Chris Schrum sums it up, It ' s an awesome re- sponsibility but some- one ' s got to do it. The UNDERCLASSMEN section reports on the adven- tures of each and every passenger on board as they strug- gle to design a cruise of a life time. The year will live on in their minds and these pages forever as the MAIDEN VOY- AGE of DBMS. HANDS FULL, Crew member Mrs. McKinley gives junior John Clements his ticket. More than half the student body joined the fun at Knott ' s. • WALL TO WALL people fill the lunch lines. It was not uncommon for a student to stand in line all period and never reach the window.

President. states Randy Thomas. Being a leader is a re- sponsibility that Randy chose last year when he decided to run for president. His nnain rea- son for running for office was to follow a per- sonal doctrine, helping others. To know what ' s going on, to meet new people, and to be involved in Diamond Bar High School ' s first year were other partial reasons. Randy sees himself as a beginner and not the A.S.B. lead- ership material that is needed for next year. His senior year will most likely be spent focusing on his future and achieving better study habits that will prepare him for college life. It is hard to be a leader and be true to yourself at the same time, explains Randy. A leader must make choices which will benefit the entire student body and sometimes this is against one ' s own integrity. Randy does not like making spur-of-the-moment decisions and won ' t. Of course there is always the eenie- meenie-miney-mo technique but Randy would rather layout all pros and cons, decide which is most beneficial, and declare his vote on the best choice. The meetings held this year did not really have any order. There was no constitution, no A.S.B. cabinent, and not enough time to get everything done which needed finishing within the 40 minute lunch period. A lot of pressure would be gone next year if some basics, such as class time, could be accomplished. Mr. Favier, the activities director, and Randy work side by side. They share the glory of when they succeed and they accept the hard times together. Feeling the A.S.B. President deserves a lot of recognition, Mr. Favier grants Randy special privileges. Randy was the first speaker at the first day assembly and lead the flag salute at the Dedication in which the school was handed over to the students. When Randy was elected he felt he was most capable for the position. In Randy ' s view now, although he still feels he has the most background, he is positive that there is some- one else who could fulfill the student body ' s needs most efficiently. Linda Bundy, one of many proud D.B.H.S. students claims, I ' ve always admired Randy ' s style and have looked up to him as a leader for many years. I will miss him as Dia- mond Bars A.S.B. President if he decides to not run for office because to me. Randy Thom- as is the perfect leader! ' A HOT OFF the operating table, Randy dedicated his summer to prepare for the grand opening. He hurt his knee lifting weights. 144 1st Class Randy Thomas
