IT ' S A BLAST Meeting the grueling demands of daily life could be overwhelming to both the students and the faculty without a little time out for some fun. Although most of the energies were directed toward writing term papers, studying for exams, doing homework assignment or, for some, taking college en- trance exams, Lancers still had the time to find the good times to spend with friends, doing the things that they most enjoyed. In- novative and inventive students peformed a variety of pranks and stunts aimed at mak- ing their friends crack up. Teachers got into the act too; going all out to combine laughter with learning seemed to be the most effective method of education. In any event, it was a blast to be part of such a wild and crazy bunch. Good times were turned into great times by fun-loving Lancers. 1 While some football players had visions of sugarplums. Malt Nuez knew that success on the athletic field depended upon one hundred percent concentration. 2. Preparation for a day at school started the previous night for many dedicated teachers; Mrs. Cobb was surprised as she gamely placed the rollers in her hair. 3.

Benny Thompson ' s trip to the little house on the prairie was all for naught. 8. Sporting challenges were forever on the horizon as centerfielder Alfonzo Gomez used Ross Shanberg for teeing off in a mixed-up game of golf. 9. One of the many talents possessed by Rogelio Casillas was that of constantly amazing his friends with feats of daring, strength and en- durance. 10.

EVERYBODY ' S DOIN ' IT One of the obvious facts about those who dressed for homecoming festivities was that styles had certainly gone through revolu- tionary changes since the 1950s. What was popular then became outrageous. A similar fate would probably befall the fashions of 1988. Would future Lancers really shave I M J letters and words in their hair? Could 4uhJ ' M ti .M human advertisements for brands of ! J J clothing last very long? And as for scooters, . just look what had happened to yesteryear ' s mopeds! Traditional styles seemed to make somewhat of a comeback this year as udents realized that either they or their parents ' hard-earned money would e better spent on something of lasting style and value. Whether it was wild nd wooly or sensible and sane, fashions were bound to change. 1. Enjoying a refreshing glass of New York Seltzer was the ideal after-school relaxation for Tia Gomez. 2. Active Lancers, such as Michelle Payne, Brett Cregar and John Haberland were often found at I) D Sporting Goods inspecting the latest athletic fashions. 3. The electronic craze that swept the nation included Rusty Wall who searched for the right video cassette for his entertain- ment. 4. Known throughout the campus for his stylish wardrobe, Chris Tinsley took a moment to study for Spring finals. 5. Basketball players were famous for having haircuts with a message, as displayed by lonathan Silk Chaney. 6. One of the crazy crazes of 1988 was the love affair such students as Maria Barrios, Lisa Johnson, Pauline Corelfi and Ernest Paul had for emblazoned visors. 7. The shoe selection at Nordstrom ' s made the choice all the more difficult for Jennifer Cunningham. 8. Cassandra Brandt, Mishel Narvaez, Christy Fitzpatrick and Negin Sattari model- ed their hair wraps. 9. These two beauties could not resist the dapper Brian Lottes. 10. Health fads ran from the silly to the fanatical; however, good health required regular exercise, a regimen of which Jamie Cassell and Michelle Racz approved as they merrily pedaled their lifecycles at the Weingart YMCA. 11. Sweaters were an expensive part of Joe Narvaez ' s wardrobe. men ' i —i 16 Everybody ' s Doin ' II
