as rli 1 fl boosting spirits he next number is B9 . . . Bingo, Bingo, I won! This was a familiar phrase often heard on Saturday nights in the gym, where Bingo was being played by about three hundred anxious people. Bingo enabled the clubs on campus to earn up to two thousand dollars each time the club had a Bingo night. It was the students' responsibility to set up for Bingo, but it was the Boosters and parents who did all the work during the evening. The Boosters were the people who started Bingo when they school opened and who have continued to work every Saturday night to help earn money for the school. It has been a joint effort among the advisors, Boosters, teachers, and the students to work and maintain Bingo every Saturday night of the year. The money earned by the clubs has allowed them to buy various things for activities. The remaining money has been used by the Boosters for special projects like the Bullpen, the chemistry X physics lab, and to support academics, athletics, and fine arts. Principal Robert Corkrum summed it all V Q up perfectly by emphasizing, Without the Boosters and their fund raising activities, Diamond Bar would be a very different kind of school. me '5r'2ff 1 ,i1r.9--12 l ,L ,-4' 5 .,., ,..,., S CALLING ALL NUMBERS - is Ron Nordschow.

One of these deserving groups was the Walnut Valley Unified School District School Board. This group was always working very hard to make Walnut Valley one of the best school districts around. The board, which was called the Board of Trustees, con- sisted of 5 elected representatives from the community. These people ran for office. There were also two student representatives, one from each high school in the district. Diamond Bar High School's representative was senior Christina Landolfi. The board was the major policy building group in the district. Aside from approving activities and field trips, they also gave direction to the administration of both schools. The board has been very successful in moving Walnut Valley Unified School District from a small, rural kind of district to the forefront. Other districts look to Walnut Valley for examples, leadership, encouragement, and ideas. We are seen in a very positive way, stated principal Robert Corkrum. , , 74 organizationsfschool board 1-'07 TIME FOR BUSINESS - School Board members discuss an im- portant issue.

Legal Eagles was a new club on campus which was started by Kim Cleveland and senior Robert Altman. The idea for the club came from the Junior Statesmen of America CJSAJ Debate Club. I was pushing for this activity because I've had experience with the club at my old school, and I knew that with a lot of-hard work, we could do really great, said Altman, president and founder of Legal Eagles. The Legal Eagles concentrated on mock trials. The mock trial was tried at the Los Angeles Count Courthouse. To prepare for the trial, a real attorney, David Lopez, helped the students with all of the legal technicalities. The mock trial was a competition against other schools. A pro- secution from one school went up against a defense section of another. A real judge presided over the case and an attorney was present in order to rule over objections and other such legal matter. ,Q I think the club is going real well. Since we went through one competition already, we're go- ing to try to do it again, exclaimed advisor Kim Cleveland. 76 organizationsflegal eagles I l 9 5 ,, -un 1
