by Ineke Stoneham and Linda Yokoi Call it enthusiasm, get-up- and-go, pep, energy or oomph, but whatever you call it, this school ' s got it — SPIRIT! Every year, students wear outrageous costumes for a week and spend countless dollars on programs, bal- loons and pom poms. The stands at every athletic event are packed. Why? Be- cause we ' ve got spirit. What is this elusive qual- ity? According to Ronna Gray, it is, Getting involved in your school. It ' s partici- pating in lunchtime activi- ties, attending as many of the school games as possi- ble, and to cheer the teams on. To Wouk Do, spirit means, Telling everyone you think your school is great. Now that we know pretty much what spirit is, how does one go about express- ing it? Tony Jolley says his favorite way to show his spir- it is, going to the games with my voo-doo doll. Jeff Neal commented, I dressed up for every day of spirit week. No matter what spirit means to you, or how you ex- press it, it is an important as- pect of high school. You re- ceive as much as you put into it. So give a cheer to show everyone — You ' ve got spir- it! y 10 We ' ve got spirit, yes we do! During the limbo contest at a lunchtime activ- ity.

Time cut f or fun By Yolanda Cerda There is more to life than just school and homework. To escape the hum-drum routine of school, many stu- dents enjoy a variety of out- side activities. The student can then demonstrate his unique talents and abilities. Activities can range from shopping in the mall to play- ing with the Santa Ana Winds Band. But some students seize the opportunity to en- gage in a hobby or interest which is both satisfying and exciting. A good example is Angel Cardoza who for a year has been involved in LULAC, the League of United Latin American Citizens. The club tries to promote Latin Ameri- can involvement in the com- munity. He has participated in LULAC ' s club sponsored activities such as the men- udo cook-off and the bike-a- thon. Angel says that through LULAC, You get to meet new friends and it ' s fun. With available time and willingness, students are able to escape their respon- sibilities with hobbies. Yvonne Rios, who enjoys drawing says, Drawing takes me away from every- day problems. I can express my style, feelings, and my own personality. v Working at C and R Clothiers provides Jennifer Lexcen with on hand sales experience and extra spending money. Many students try to find a job to suit their needs as well as flexibility with hours. A Yvonne Rios displays her artistic skills with portraits of movie stars Robert Redford and Sir Lawrence Olivier with great pride. Marilyn Mon- roe is one of Yvonne ' s favorite personalities for drawing. Senior Annie Lieu takes dance jazz classes in her spare time. It ' s like an escape, says Annie, you get to learn new techniques and routines from others, which is very satisfying. 12 Outside Acriviries
