Was it just in honor of the class of ' 86 that the campus enjoyed a very rare snow storm? Brief though it was, the front of the school and the main quad took on a look of mystery under the light covering of snow. 77»ere was even enough snow to build a snowman as Mr. Miller ' s students did on the lawn outside their room. i me I remember back . . . let ' s see. Yes, it was the year I was a senior, back in ' 86. Not only was it so foggy the first time we tried to shoot our ' 86 that we had to do it again, but that was the year it snowed! It was a strange day riding the buses, walking to school, or driving. Many of us enjoyed either snow fights or building a snowman. And the rest of our lives, we ' ll be able to say that 1986 was the year of the ' big ' snow. It made me feel romantic, like taking a sleigh ride, recalled senior Tina Wat- son. It was really exciting, I wanted to play in it, admitted another senior. Amy Combes. But that was just the first of many planned activities for seniors as they attacked Disneyland in January and then enjoyed the Mid-Winter For- mal, the Military Ball, the Prom, Magic Mountain, Grad Nite, etc. From activi- ties to assemblies, from football games to dances (and don ' t forget the classes) . . . Ah. what a year. And, ah, what a class! ' 86 U? Tradition

Marching along with flying colors is the newly formed ROTC Flag team under the di- rection of Sgt. Therrien. KLUB members listen intently to an interview question for the 700 club. Dedication is an everyday word for year- book editor Pilar Millan and staff member Jill Johnson. Winter Preference Ball queen and king candidates represent clubs and organ- izations on campus. chool wasn ' t just books and homework. That was made obvi- ous by all of the clubs and organi- zations in which students could participate. The bulletin an- nounced almost daily some meet- ing or fund raiser about to take place. Clubs offered the chance for students to escape the problems of algebra or the compositions of English and relax and have fun with their peers. There was a wide variety of clubs and organi- zations so that almost every stu- dent interest could be filled. Some clubs lent a helping hand and encouraged their members to be a friend to those in need. Oth- ers taught us how to live our lives better, or rewarded us for getting good grades. Some just gave the opportunity to participate and use talents we ' d developed in an atmosphere outside the class- room. Club members were seen tak- ing trips to Catalina or Utah. These trips and other activities provided a time for students to grow closer and to discover new friendships. There were times to get to know the real person in an informal manner, a time to be treasured for years to come. Because of the ban on candy sales, the clubs were forced to try new and generally less successful ways to raise funds. Some sold stuffed animals while others tried cake walks. As a whole this was a shocking good year! More Electr city
