PRIDE I DBHS Feelings of respect and pride show through ' ractically any day that you visited the Diamond Bar High School campus, you could have witnessed the pride shown by students. Take October 17, 19863 it's a Friday, and the day before the Brahmas play Los Altos for the start of their Sierra League football career. There are peo- ple dressed in purple and gold all around the cam- pus. Every so often there is a person with a purplish tint to his hair. At the pep-rally held at brunch there are many people from all the classes there to lend their support. Iunior Ahmed Meguid commented, I don't know why I wear purple and goldg I guess it's because I like this school and maybe a little proud of it. Pride in the school was also shown through academics, notably in the CAP testing and Academic Decathlon. Without the incentive of money the seniors were able to put on a good showy ing on the test. The Decathlon team showed its mettle not only on the test day, but in before-and after-school train- ing sessions. Iunior decathlete Donte Henry commented, If I had known it was going to be such hard work I might not of competed, but in the end I was T glad I got a chance to represent this school. A N O T H E R TOUCHDOWN CHEER - Brahma rooters rise up in support of their team. This was the game against Centennial which the Brahmas won.

Z 5 A AN ALL T00 FAMILIAR SIGHT - are crowded stairways. This over- crowding was due to the large enrollment at DBHS. ADDING T0 THE POR- TABLES AT DBHS - are portables number seven and eight. Many students dreaded having to walk to the portables on the other side of campus. Diamond Bar High is not what it used to be an you remember a time when Dia- mond Bar High School was not chang- ing? It seemed as though each year brought a new look, both inside and outside. The 1987 school year was not any different. There were numerous changes that occurred. These changes each had different circumstances, but they shared a common bond in that they did not spoil the school, just changed it a little bit. - One change came as a result of the population ex- plosion. With the addition of new enrollees, came the need to provide space for them. In order to ac- commodate this, two new portables were added in October, 1986. Although they were not universally liked, they were accepted. Iunior Chris Darrow commented, Though they are ugly, I'm glad they were put in because it was getting too crowded in my classes. Sports added another change. Teams were moved into the Sierra league, from the Hacienda league. The change was due to the Brahmas' success in the Hacienda league. Iunior Benson Tang remarked, Now we've really going to show the other people because now we're in such a tough league. Some differences that were not evident from the outside but affected the school were the removal of the smoking area and changes in the administra- tion. A bill passed in the California Senate that allowed for the removal of the smoking area. A final change came in administration as a result of principal Walt Holmes' death. Robert Corkrum was appointed principal, coordinator Hank Iohnson was appointed vice-principal and Linda Martinsen was made Senior grade level coordinator.
