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. INTENT ON THE GAME - Coaches Terry Roche and Ieff Nauta counsel junior Kyle Shuler during the game against Centen- nial. The score of the game was 49-7. 6 OpeningfPride

O WESTER AZE 0 Activities, dress styles and ideas show western influence hat do you think of when you hear the term Western? Cowboys and In- dians, maybe? At Diamond Bar in 1987, it was expressed in a dif- ferent way. Junior Mitch Rowland commented, I liked to borrow some of my styles of dress from the western style of dress. It was obvious that there were other ways this western idea was expressed around the campus. USB sponsored Western Week, November 17-21. Some of the events during the week were a chili cook-off, a stick-horse race, a gunny sack race, and a log-sawing contest. I liked the different activities during the week because they made lunch a little more interesting, replied junior Chris Aguilar. More evidence of western influence came through during the trip to Disneyland, on the first day of school. An especially popular place was Frontierland, where the whole place is done up like a frontier trading post. Ioyce Cruz, junior, elaborated, I went there because I liked the little stores that were there, and Tom Sawyer's Island wasn't bad either. Western influence could be seen in the school itself. With its red tile roofs and Spanish stucco buildings, this evidence was readily apparent. Also the very names of the buildings had western backgrounds. With names such as the Trading Post, to signify the student store, and the Chuckwagon, meaning the teacher lunch area, there could be no missing this influence. I STICK 'EM UP - junior Angelica Nunez and senior Susie Austin prepare for the quick draw contest durin Western Week. Botg Nunez and Austin were onUSB.
