I he classified staff goes out of their way to support school activities, here Mrs. Gross. Mrs. Morse, Mrs. Westbrook. Mrs. Ewens and her granddaughter prepare to stake out a good spot to watch the parade. Working part day in the attendance office, keeps Mrs. Ramsey busy checking admits where the most frequently heard expression is : That ' s no excuse! Head night custodian, Mr. Del Gallo, uses his favorite expressions early Friday mornings at Toastmasters. Is it true that the cafeteria staff and helpers often hear expressions that they ' d rather nor hear from those waiting in the food line, especially as the line gets longer, and longer?

TOwm L ©wm ©in s Finally there was relief in sight as the decision was made to open Canyon Springs next year with 9th and 10th grade only, housing the school on the Alessandro Campus. That meant that of the 2800+ students and 140 teachers here, there would be a few fewer next year. So this was it. The turning point. From this mo- ment on there are two high schools in Moreno Valley. The MoVal campus will still service about 2600 students. And, like the rest of us, teachers felt the strain of massive numbers. A very cre- ative Mr. Cochran said he felt about the larger population like Wally George feels about Donahue. She came from the big state of Texas, but in her second year at MoVal, Mrs. Richardson said that if we get any larger, the health department should close us down. A very observant, Mrs. Cannon, felt that we were handling .9 the growth very well unless you try to cross the quad at lunch. What made the year bearable was the effort made by almost all to make the big numbers a positive experience. Mrs. Wil- son said that if we overlooked the difficul- ties, it ' s a nice experience for students to have the opportunity to meet so many different people. It has its moments (new blood, ideas, etc.), pointed out Mr. Cook, but I still prefer a smaller school. Coach Logan reached the same point many did when he admitted, I ' ve gotten to the place that I can ' t feel a thing. Final- ly, remembering the good ole days Mrs. Shepherd recalled, when I started teach- ing here, there were 1200 students. Some of my classes only had 12 students, and we all knew most of the students in the school.

Y©Mjrs eIli Say what ' s your favorite expression? You ' ve no doubt heard these well worn phrases many times throughout the year. I ' m going, from Mr. Orr. The very discriptive, Frantabulous, from Mr. Ingram. The threatening, I hear some students who want extra homework! from Ms. Boykin. And if you ' ve heard this more than once, you don ' t know how to take no for an answer — Come back before or after school or during lunch time, from Mrs. Ewens, the activities secretary. Was it truly exasperation that brought the phrase Heavens, or Heavens to Betsy, forth from Mr. Fracchia? (Whom we welcomed back enthusiastically after his heart attack.) Those who took business classes no doubt heard, Mr. Robb ' s. Whatever ' s Fair more than once. Can you recall seeking out the school nurse, looking for sympathy only to be told, You ' re a goober, by Ms. Castell-Lambert? And would ag classes have been the same without the often heard, Get off your saturated fatty acids and get to work! from Mr. Tipton? Those students who took AP History hopefully didn ' t cause Mr. Payne to develop his favorite expression, gosh awful. Advanced math students, unite please, behind this frequent phrase from Miss Gallagher. smile!! Ooten HH Price
