Student Life Begins n the first day of school, student life began. The student body got to go to the crazy, wild, and exciting amusement par , Disneyland. The da started off first by attending school and having sflortened periods. In between third and fourth period was the traditional, first-day-of- school pep rally. After the last bell, most of the students lined up to get on the buses. If you didn't want to go to Disneyland you didn't have to and could go home early. Most of the students opted to go and had a great time. It was fun because I ot to see all my friends that I didn't see during time summer, said senior Christine Peters. The students came home from Disneyland later that day and realized how lucky they are to attend a school that goes to Disneyland on the first day of school. ICE CREAM AND COKES - freshmen Betsy Trisler, Tracey Anderson, Patty Guay, and Stacey Mendez get some refreshments to qliliench their thirst.

irst day of school 1:00 pm. While students of other' schools were still in class or trudging back home from another boring afternoon, the students for Diamond Bar High were on their way to Disneyland. The idea of a first day field trip is uni- que to Diamond Bar, according to Dale Favier Students Body Activities Direc- tor. It was my idea, but the students' participation is what made it a success, said Favier. , The more than 1500 students that went to Disneyland proved this. I thought it lDisneyland tripj was rad, said Alaine Rowe, a junior transfer from Los Altos. No other school I've been to or heard of has a first day of school field trip. Ioined in school spirit and the uest for fun, the wide diversity of students all enjoyed their first day of school in a special and different way. For example, Kristine Kunimura, senior, said she thought it would be fun to see what the Disneyland lockers looked like from the inside. She shoved herself into a full size locker and shut the door. For- tunately for her, her friends were com- passionate enough not to lock her in. I just did it for the fun of it, explained Kunimura. The first day of school pep rally was also an occasion for some uniqueness. Ze' x I 't',,,l , !'l ANOTHER TURN! - sophomores, Gina Brown and Stephanie Garcia, laugh through the turns of the Matterhorn. Over 1500 of the student body ot to try the rides at Disneyland that first day olg school. GIVE ME A B - yell seniors Ioe Ingram, Harvey Payne, and Eddie Kim. The Brahma spellout was often echoed in the gym at the rallies and was also the subject for many class competitions. Superman and Cat-Woman came all the way from Metropolis City to battle it out in front of the cheering students. A special performance during the first day pep rally has become a tradition at Dia- mond Bar. The super heroes presence wasn't the only sur rise of the rallfy. The male cheerleadJers performed or the very first time in front of the student body. The students were very rece tive of the pepsters. I felt they likecfj us, said jonathan Sa-w, vice-president of the Yell Leaders. I thought they were surpris- ed.
