Directly below him a signboard rose, proudly proclaiming the name of the school. lids sharp eyes rested on his own image, blazoned atop the sign. Pride swelled within him as his gaze swept over the orderly, well-kept grounds. .lust beyond the flagpole, whose stan- dard snapped briskly in the wind, was the Administration Building. An essential feature of El Dorado, its supervision kept the school running smoothly. Adjacent to it stood another center of activity, the gymnasium, site of a variety of events throughout the year. At the heart of the campus the theatron, with its rows of gleaming benches, faced the auditorium and library. Not far beyond lay the recently installed pool. serenity rippling its surface. Broad struc- tures of brown stucco and darker paint, interspersed with bright foliage, backed the verdant expanse of the athletic fields, For twenty-two years Bl Dorado has put forth its best effort in all areas, Ed thought, and no difficulty has affected its spirit or enthusiasm. 'Events such as the annual flight of the seagulls were an inconve- nience, but students banded together to combat the situation. During the migratory season, the school adopted the motto, 'tPick your trash so you don t get a splash, in hopes of birds. Although the gull's interest at lunchtime both the appearance and morale of the campus benefitted this united effort to end the yearly threat. A more severe disruption took place on October first, when the school was shaken during zero period by an earthquake measuring 5,9 on the Ricther scale. Although a mutter of concern to everyone, the quake and its numerous aftershocks were handled with equa- riimity and competence. There were no injuries: property damage was minimal, and the event came to be regarded as just another occasion by which to remember the '87-'88 school year. The ability to manage such incidents contributes to El Doi-ado's inotivation'to let nothing stand in the way of its success, Ed reflected. Part of the school's Statement of Philosophy is, Excel- lence is a quality to be sought in all endeavors, and this belief has been a guideline throughout the year. Defining goals and working towards them is a customary element ot' campus life, and one of the things which sets l-Il Dorado apart. Even when ambitions are not fully realized, El Dorado never ceases to reach for the sky. As the Wright brothers learned, frustrations andrsetbacks must be endured before victory can be attained. ir .. a p levels is what has launched El Dorado 'y o ftightfaiiti freed it to set its own limits, in a world 'i': era ,.. onlyboundaries are the borders of its dreams. fe?
