DURING A STAFF MEETING - sophomore counselor Gary Duenas listens to H I O t what another teacher has to say. Duenas could be found often in the library after e p u school attending meetings. Duenas counsels as advisor and friend Mr. Duenas is pretty hard, remarked Chris Plummer, sophomore. That seemed to be the dominant opinion of the relationship between Gary Duenas, sophomore coor- dinator, and the students. Duenas was one of the few people the sophomores could go to with their problems besides family and friends. Our relationship with him is really good. Probably a little better than the rest of the classes, commented Charlie Thweatt, sophomore. Many sophomores said they felt they could talk to him freely since he knew the students about as well as their parents did. I am their slave, commented Duenas. On the other hand, Duenas seemed to take a little different view of things. It may have seemed like work at times but certainly he must have enjoyed talking with the students otherwise they would not have had Duenas as a counselor. . You could almost always find Duenas walking around the campus at brunch, lunch, after school or before school. Mr. Duenas is like a good friend to me because I can tell him all my problems, commented Kari Bask, sophomore. Duenas became one of the few trusted adults among the sophomore class that they could talk so freely. DURING A PEP RALLY - so homore Stephanie Garcia leads the competing clgss in a class yell. Class yells were one of the main events at almost every pep rally.

Safety Key Sophomores learn the key to driving safety in SRC. Now be careful. Alwa s kee both hands on the wheel ...Watch for pedjestrians and DON'T ever go over 55 mph. Many sophomores heard warnings like these from their parents when they first learned how to drive. Reaching fifteen and a half meant that the? could now drive but with one hitch they ha to be accompanied by an ever-nagging, super-safety conscious adult. Parents weren't the only ones concerned about safety for the new sophomore drivers. The state of California required all high school raduates to take a course on driving and heagth education. Mike Wendt who had been teaching SRC lState Required Coursej for five years at Dia- mond Bar and eleven years prior, said he stresses the attitude of the person driving. Most of the students who are in SRC alread know the mechanics of driving but they dbn't reall understand how to act on the streets, saidyWendt. He said that for most students this class is the only thing short of an accident that can really empasize driving safety. One of Wendt's pet sayings was the cars don't cause the deaths in accidents it's the drivers . Hopefully when the sophomores get ready to drive the car with Dad or Mom telling them the rules they can say Mom, Dad, I already know. UP, UP AND AWAY - Traci Congelton jumps for joy because it's such a thrilling experience to be a sophomore. Attacks of joy such as these happened frequently. - g as . . Y i ..
