Men and women ' witness changes Girls became women and boys became men as new signs gronted adulthood to the student body. Following the recommendations of former activities director, Julia Thiel- man, the custodians repainted the restroom doors with the new identifi- cation over the summer. I think it will give us a more mature outlook on going to the bathroom, said Jana Romriell. However, many students did not notice the change. I didn ' t even know that they changed, said Yvonne Salazar. Another visible change was the re- location of the temporary buildings. Due to declining enrollment and the loss of teachers, rooms T- 1 , T- 10, and T-16 were uprooted and transported to various other schools. Two of the temporaries went to Parkside Ele- mentary School to be used for a com- puter center and the third went to Portola Junior High School, said Richard Kirwan. Other changes on campus served to inconvenience P.E. students and athletes. In on attempt to meet a bud- get that was severely affected by increases in the cost of living, towel service and bus transportation to ath- letic events were eliminated. Not having any towels works out fine. The girls don ' t complain, they just bring their own towels, said girls ' locker room attendant. Donna West. Athletic teams responded to the cuts by planning fund raisers such as candy sales and marathon swimming or running events. In addition, the school board approved charging a $fO per semester fee to each athlete. Changes not only occurred in fa- cilities and services, but were also evident in faculty cuts and transfers. A new vice-principal, Walt Hess, and a new activities director, Alan Trefry, came to Orange from El Mo- dena and Villa Park. CS Ch anges 15

Comic characters captivate fans Although it was the year of the dog, cats, extra-terrestrials, and chocolate materialized as the favor- ites of many students. Popular cats such as Garfield, Heathcliff, and Hello Kitty were a lew among the preferred characters. The large variety of available items related to these personalities ranged from stuffed animals to lunch sacks. I like Garfield ' s personality; I guess it ' s because he beats up on Odie, said Dave Smith, a Ian of the well-liked cat. Barbie Lopez has been collecting items since she can remember be- cause to her they were cute. Another creature that won the hearts of millions was the star of the box office hit E.T., The Extra-Terres- trial. Although only a special effects creation, E.T. became the hero of fans who stood for hours to see the film. I was in line for about an hour, but it was worth it, stated Jennifer Hicks. Audiences everywhere hoped that E.T. would be able to phone home and thereby be restored to his natural After picking up tier Herstiey ' s candy (rom girls ottiietic director, Darlome Oleslciewicz, lucin- do Stroud (for left) makes tier first sale to Jelf Lotimon.

Eager to watch the movie again, Jeni Boettcher commented, I bawled my head off when it looked as if E.T. would die. The popularity of E.T. lead to the production of numerous related pro- ducts. Posters, buttons, E.T. dolls, cof- fee mugs, and Halloween costumes depicted the familior lace of E.T. be- cause of the world-wide acceptance of the creature. In addition to the interest in cuddly creatures, many students demonstrat- ed passion lor chocolate. The athletic department took ad- vantage of these oddicted students by selling chocolate candy. Choco- late was sold by most athletes so the transportation expense to and from the games could be covered. I don ' t mind carrying the candy because it ' s pretty popular and well-liked, com- mented football player, Roger Turk. Posters, books, and novelties that dealt with chocolate served as substi- tutes lor the scrumptious taste when the real thing was not in close reach. — EL happenings of the day with Ton|a Hoffman.
