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.
