It is but a small episode in the lives of most people, although it may be a lasting memory. Some people never wanted to leave, and others could not wait to until graduation. Believe me, on graduation day, I say goodbye to Diamond Bar High School, commented junior Brian Bartholomew. Life after Diamond Bar High School was divided up into twobasic routes: either you were going to college or you were not going to college. Not going to college could mean entering the business world or starting a family, but for some people the future was muddled. I want to become rich. I don't know how I'm go- ing to do it, but Iam, said junior Ronnie Dinfotan. Going to collegewas sometimes so difficult it pro- ved to' be a momentous undertaking. To some students the maze of Scholastic Aptitude Tests ISATJ, Achievement Tests, and transcripts added to impacted majors and rising tuition costs made col- lege seem an impossible dream. It was the job of the career center and school activities such as College Night to make the transition easier. To some other students, the future was not only complicated but a little bit scary. It scares me to think that my whole life may have been decided in high school. Those B's may come back to haunt me, commented junior Ahm- ed Meguid. This thought was further expressed in the top 20 hit by Timbuck-three, My Future's So Bright. It says, I'm doing all right, getting good grades, my future's so bright, I gotta wear shades.

Lunch was also a timelof frenzied activity. Due to the varied lunchtime activities, lunch was a chance for students to really relax andfenjoy themselves between classes. S t lg ' Senior Iill Smith said, Usually during lunch peo- ple were loud becausetheysiwere with their friends having fun. However, the mood soon changed once again as fifth period started. Smith added, in contrast, When classes were in, it was really quiet and subdued. Students eagerly anticipated vacations, changing the schoolfs mood before holidays.
