emember when all the school pep rallies were in the same place - gym? Well, things changed. In- stead of the Brahmas going to the pep rallies, the pep rallies went to the Brahmas. The pep rallies took on a new twist. Students no longer had to go to the gym to participate in pep rallies. Instead, the rallies were taken outside. We moved the pep rallies outside for a change of pace. We were trying to in- vigorate the crowd by following the idea of the USC rallies, said Mrs. Holliday, pep advisor. 2.2214 I I - M 0 Zy, L J-if The outside pep rallies were the same I as the ones in the gym, except for the location.

Immediately, students went under their desks for protection and everthing was silent. When the vibration stop- ped, the bell sounded and students and teachers went into a frenzy. What just happened asked one student. Other students then screamed, It was an earthquake, the first, with many more to follow. That first earthquake rated 5.9 on the Richter scale. Several aftershocks were felt for the next few weeks ranging from 4.0 in in- tensity on the Richter scale. The earthquake was very unexpected, and therefore, startled both teachers and students. I was scared when it happened, but I was more afraid for my family and friends, said Cara Abulencia, senior. Long before the earthquake was felt, two practice drills were administered to get students prepared in case of an emergency. I think the drills helped because it helped maintain a sense of order, said junior Minnie Taylor. When the earthquake was felt, students knew exactly what to do. They immediately went under their desks and then, when the trembling was over, they went outside to their assigned area. On a normal practice drill, this exercise took eight minutes. However, according to vice-principal Hank Johnson, during the real earthquake, the exercises only took six minutes and five seconds. I think we're one of the best high schools in earthquake preparedness, commented Johnson. 'fI'TT. -A--N.: Yi DOWN THE WALKWAY - come students from all classes to participate in an earth- uake drill.
