, is-is-r 1 M I-wf-1--rs-T as ,. as f,..4......J as X fs- After years of teaching, instructors have experienced many strange happenings, some of which stand out in their minds more than others. For example, Language Arts Teacher Karen .lenista remembered a time when she was teaching at Don Lugo High School in Chino, and she had to step out of class to speak with a counselor. When she got back, one of her more enter- taining students was on top of the lab table Cthis was an English class in a Biology classroomj singing and dancing for the class. He was in the school play and obviously felt the class deserved a preview. Another incident occurred with Drama Teacher Sue Seme- gran. One evening she and one of her crew, Dan Torrez, were working on the Fools set which they finally finished a little after I :OO in the morning. They were so tired that they sat down in the theater. All of a sudden, policemen entered with guns in hand and yelled, What's going on in here? Semegran said, Beats me! She promised the police she wouldn't steal any- thing from the theater. Social Science Teacher Fritz Rodriguez also shared one of his most interesting experiences. He once explained to a class that they could use three by five cards for their oral reports. The next day, one of his students came in with a three by five card, but it was in feet, not inches! Although students sometimes see school in a negative man- ner, there are also many moments of humor and enjoyment! lj Custodians D. Hernandez. S. Dang, C. Schmitt. J. Gonzales, and E.

NEW ADDITION Due to the large increase of the student body, a new addi- tion to the counseling staff was in demand. ln November of l986, Betty Escobosa took that vacant position. Escobosa. confined to a wheelchair due to a previous automobile acci- dent, fulfilled her duties just like any other administrator. Escobosa had been working previously with the Placentia Unified School District for thir- teen years, with all grade lev- els from elementary to adult classes. Escobosa said, High school is the most enjoyable level, because students have a sense of humor and are quick to catch on to concepts. Escobosa transferred from an eight hour counseling posi- tion at Tynes Elementary School. Switching schools didn't discourage Escobosa in the least, however: for, as she firmly states, There's no need to be afraid of change. l.
