In The Midst Of Many . . . An Individual The crowd provides security but it cannot understand the joy of getting an A in physics, the dread of Spring Musical tryouts. The individual faces things alone; No comfort comes from the crowd when he just wants to be friends. In the crowd, we can all laugh at cafeteria mystery meat, late-night rehearsals for Barefoot in the Park, but the crowd cannot appreciate a pink-golden sunset seen from the (late, lamented) Seal Beach pier, the thrill of making an extra two inches on the high jump, for the first time, the nervousness of trying out for Pepsters. Each person shines in a special way: reaching for a handhold on the rocks at Joshua Tree Monument, perfecting a backhand grip in tennis, penning a haiku for Creative Writing (Rocky winter shore Relentless surf pounds the sand A lone seagull wails), running in the Long Beach Marathon, learning new English phrases in ESL (Is it really i before e ?), stretching to reach private goals that, in turn, enrich the crowd. Sheryl Nash ' 83 UPPER LEFT: A BRUIN AT HEART -Although Tina ling would give anything to be at the Rose Bowl to cheer on her favorite team, UCLA, she remains content cheering for the Rams at a sophomore football game at Millikan. Her heart and the Bruins went on to beat Michigan ' s Wolverines on January I . 1983 UPPER RIGHT: MARATHON MAN Before running a lOK at Heartwell Park in early March, Ian McFadyen takes time to stretch his achilles tendon. His goal, to lower his lime to thirty-five minutes, was accomplished on a May run, LOWER LEFT: GO, SPEED RACER, GO Downhill racer Steve Sloan skis down a preliminary run before the start of the Nastar Ski Race- Although .Steve ' s all-time favorite course is at Vail. Colo- rado, he participated in this particular race at Snow Summit in Big Bear, California during winter vacation. LOWER RIGHT: MALL MADNESS While Christmas shopping, Linda Si- mone seeks solitude by stepping into a Hallmark ' s Gift Shop. Waiting for last-minute bargains in mid-December drew large crowds at Lakewood Mall. Opening . .A Place For You

Rams March To Different Beat Hey, what arc your plans for today? This was a typical question which many students were asked every day by friends and family. It was not unusual for a student to answer this question with a long list of activities that he or she had at school that day. Senior Jenny Leicht ex- plained, Well, in the morning I have a student council meeting, after school two club meetings, and in the evening I am going to keep the score- book at the basketball game. In increasing numbers, students began to take an active role in school life. Senior Mark Robinson said, There are many opportunities to get involved in the various activities around school. Some students chose to participate in many dif- ferent activities while others opted to stick to their favorite one. Most of the students asked felt that high school would be one of the most enjoyable times of their life. Senior Robert Shavelle stated, We have a large school with diverse offerings, and therefore there is something for everybody. Each individual has a chance to shine in his or her own way and that is what makes it special.
