True Blue Friends riends played an important role in the life of a senior. Many friends have known each other throughout all four years in high school. The subject of graduation became a frequent topic in the conversations of senior pals. As the anxieties of being a senior became greater, so too did the need for friends become greater. Without my friends, I would be lost, said senior Cari Smith. Many seniors could have been seen around campus with a group of people or maybe one or two peopleg however, whatever the combination, friends never lost their value as individuals. At the end of the year, as students went down the ai- sle, each wondered if they would remain close to their friends after graduation or would there be a parting of ways? Many seniors could not help crying at the end of the year, but the inevidable Club, GSTE, Girls' League.

The first 5 minutes of anxiousness and fervor quick- ly dissolve, leaving the students to decide where to go next. Many students gravitated to a clique, a gathering of like-minded people. Cliques were common among the students, seniors composed of seniors, because these cliques were formed and developed through four school years. These seniors were usually all friends who enjoyed the company of each other. Some of these cliques were so close that they were seen A Flock of Seniors together on weekends off campus. Some of the places on weekends were Rudy's Pizza and Pasta, the local movie theater, and the parks around Diamond Bar. Senior cliques were formed due to similarities found between members. Some hobbies and sports. Many cliques appeared due to the same activities or classes that the people shared, such as the band. Many seniors belonged to more than one clique, but some cliques were closed as friends clustered in tight groups with limited memberships. Many life-long friendships developed in these cliques. Cliques gave students a place to go when they felt they were wanted. Once a person joined a clique, they felt the feel- ing of peer acceptance. To be surround- ed by all my friends is a very special feel- ing, which I cannot describe! exclaimed Monica Vargas. Not all students shared these feelings for cliques. Senior Sylvia Cheung believed, Cliques are stupid! Other students had indifferent feelings towards cliques. Some thought cliques were a transistory state of relationship. Many seniors believed they would go on to better things afterwards. Senior Ron- nie Dinfotan concluded, Cliques are all right, until you have a girlfriend. Either 6 E way, cliques are here to stay. it 1 Club, French Club,-Key Club. Collette M.
