Where ' s Cheyenne Hall? Why can ' t we walk inside the buildings? Where ' s the D building? What time does school get out? These were just a few of the questions voiced by students on the first day of school. Traditionally, freshmen are confused and lost the first day, but this year everyone had prob- lems due to the unfamiliarity of the campus. I felt like I was back in the ninth grade, commented junior Kala Morgan. I didn ' t know the layout of the campus or where my classes were. However, the first day was made easier by the carnival-like celebrations that occurred. A huge, hot-air balloon welcomed students and faculty as they approached the school, and Roman Gabriel, former L.A. Rams player and coach of the Cal Poly Broncos, spoke to the students about setting goals and not giving up. However, during this time it was difficult for most students to hear because some were noisy. It was sad nobody listened, reflected Erin Sullivan, junior. That spirit was then put to use in the class competitions. Although a sound meter was not used, the freshmen and the sophomores couldn ' t measure up to the juniors. The culminating activity of the assembly was the Burger King Whopper Woof-Down, in which each class contributed a team of four competitors. They had ten minutes to eat as many whoppers as possible. Compensating for their poor showing in yelling the cheer, the Havoc On Cam some were fortunate enough to go up in it. The balloon bore a sign to advertise the opening of Diamond Bar High School. But what the students enjoyed the most was the pep rally which took place after sec- ond period. As they flowed into the gym to the music of the Brahma band, each student was given a class button. Then, the staff was intro- duced to the student body. The pepsters performed to the song Can ' t Be Beat, and the band accompanied the drill team in Centerfold. sophomores woofed down enough whoppers to win. As they departed, each student was given a ticket for a free hot dog and Pepsi after school. Bill Newman, junior, commented, That was my first day of school in California, and I was really surprised at all the activities and the school spirit. Marc Bloomenstein, sophomore, observed, If this day is any indication of how the rest of the year will be, this is going to be the best school in Southern California. A TO CHEERS OF ' 84: we eat more! , juniors Monty Mechann, Perry Harpold, Eddie Fitzgerald, and Scott Bales try to catch up to the freshmen and the sophomores. Burger King donated the hamburgers and drinks. ► WEARING THE BUTTON given to her at the assembly, Kala Morgan, junior, shows her school spirit. The drill team also sold spirit-raising buttons. 5 - M 12 Gala Events First Day
