'83 is ninth senior class gTen years ago there were no seniors. Since this campus was so new, an out- growth of Valencia High School, the :Class of ,74, their parents and the school administration felt that it would be best for all concerned to have only freshmen, sophomores and juniors at- tend school here. That way the seniors could graduate from Valencia, the school they had attended for four years. That year saw Valencia High School on a split session, half the day attended by Valencia students and the other half of the day attended by Esperanza stu- dents. Shortly after the new campus on Kellogg was completed the Esperanza students, staff and faculty made the move to the new school site. This class, the ninth graduating class, is the culmination of hundreds of centur- ies of evolution. It is also the culmina- tion of thirteen years of education. They have been taught to read and write, add and subtract, conjugate verbs, parse sentences, read maps, fill out ap- plications, write five paragraph essays, determine the area of a circle, how the United States court system works and how to dissect a frog. More importantly, they have been taught how to think. They have learned how to exist in an evermore complex world. A world that is much more com- plicated than the world their predeces- sors of ten years ago entered. The decade of the 60's was called the Peace decade, the 70,5 earned the title of the Me decade. The decade of the 80,5 has yet to be labeled, but indica- tions have led some to believe that the students of the 80's will be more serious, more conservative, less radical and more responsible than generations of the past. This is in part due to the pressure-filled, economically unsound time in which they are graduating and partially due to the fact that they are filled with fewer illusions than the first graduating class.
