WHAT DO YOU WANT TO TAKE? - Gary Duenas sophomore class grade level coordinator discusses classes with a student. It is important for coordinators to have a close relationship with students at Diamond Bar. AREN'T I CUTE - Gary Duenas sophomore class grade level coordinator shows us his smile as he works in the library. Duenas could also be seen at almost ever school dance, showing off his talents. NEW AT THE JOB - senior coordinator Linda Martinsen works on her computer. Martinsen received her master's degree in counselor education this June. Grade Level Coordinators ew kid onthe block 1986-87 marked the first school year after the death of Princi al Walter Holmes. Continuing the tradlition of ex- cellence was not an easy task for the new Principal Bob Corkrum and for the new Vice-Princi al Hank Johnson to achieve. One of the steps that had to be taken was finding another person for the job of grade level coordinator for the senior class of 1987. The job of a GLC is to make sure that the students get properly registered so they will have enough credits to graduate, and a good coordinator also is someone to whom the students can talk if they have a personal problem. After the interviews were ' all done, the administration decided that the best person for the job was Linda Martinsen. I was so excited when Johnson calledg it was certainly a highlight in my life! said Martinsen. The new GLC previously worked as a secretary at the Monrovia High School counseling department and has her master's de ree in counselor education. In the lieginning students could usually see Martinsen talking with Johnson as he introduced her to many people and explained to her how the school was run. I'm glad we got a new GLC because Mr. Johnson probably shouldn't have two different jobs, but I still will use him if I need to talk to somebody because he's been with us the whole time, said senior Jennifer Gavaldon. . fig.

Lunch lines were very long an the kit- chen workers had to work fast. Monty Merkin if Maintenance and utrition Sweeping up the kitchen Cleaning up after people was never an easy job. Cleaning up after 1,840 students, was even harder. The janitors at Diamond Bar, Iohn Alexander, Carlos Alvidrez, Claudio Aragon, Carlos Cortez, Keith Fox, Ioan Gomez, Eric Gossett, Hector Goytia and Doug Wells, had a difficult job to fulfill in picking up after so many students. Even with such a difficult task in front of them, they were alwa s cheerful and had good relations with the students. The janitors' job included picking up trash, cutting the rass, 0 ening up jam- med lockers, andiixasicalljy just keeping the school looking clean. Many students felt good about the janitors hard work going towards the school. I really appreciate the efforts the janitors put forth to keep our school in the best possible condition, said sophomore Lori Milburn. The janitors had a very close relation- ship with the students. janitor Doug We ls could often be heard joking What it be like? to students passing by. The janitors put in a lot of time at the school. There was one person who opened the school at 5:45 and then three other people who closed the school at 10:30. During this time, all the rooms of the school were cleaned everyday. All the janitors felt that their effort was well worth it. They held meetings once a week to discuss any concerns they had regarding the school or their job. Expressing his views, janitor Eric Cossett said, I would like to continue to see cooperation by students and faculty in helping custodians. fi Mclintenzlnceflfuculty 151
