We raise our song to thee e many years past. San Gorgonio has taken pride and much time in preparation for assemblies. These were an exciting part of Fridays and the announcement of the upcoming sports. The assemblies were held in the 10:50 to 11:30, and many students took the time to attend these spirited events. Most pep assemblies were very rowdy. The leadership would perform cheers to get the audience in a spirited mood. This would be followed by a routine t choreographed by the poms or varsity cheers. Most of the time a selected varsity team member would speak to the crowd about their sport. Many of the assemblies were to promote the football team and their upcoming games. Other assemblies were given for special occasions. The Homecoming assembly was held to choose a Homecoming queen. Each candid ate, accompanied by an escort, would walk across the gym floor, while being introduced by Mr. Haley, principal. At the end of each assembly, the student body would sing the Alma Mater, led by the band. Doreen Amador was the director of all assemblies. San Gorgcnio had many pleasant and successful ones in the past, and whether it was pep or just student life, assemblies showed that school could be fun combined with learning.

■ very where people looked, little red hearts could be seen. They were on bumperstickers, teeshirts, mugs, buttons, and even folders. These little red hearts were part of a fad that hit San Gorgonio ' s campus. It was the I Love craze. Students loved everything from soap operas, like Ryan ' s Hope, to shoes like Vans. Anna Hernandez, senior, had an I 9 General Hospital bumpersticker on her Pinto. I used to watch General Hospital all the time but now I like All My Children. My sister bought me the sticker to put on my banana mobil. Probably the most popular Hfsaying was that of animals. Bumperstickers and pins could be purchased at almost any card shop saying HP ' my and the breed of dog, cat, or bird. Junior Laura Brown showed her favorite animal with an ffPCats keychain. Cities and states were also very popular. I had my I England button made because that ' s where I ' d rather live. I used to live there for about five years and I loved it, remarked sophomore Stella Ruiz. With all these Hfbumperstickers around, leadership decided to reap some profits by selling Iffthe Spartans bumperstickers for $ 1 .00 in the student store. Not only did these colorful rectangular stickers brighten up the campus, but they also showed everyone ' s concern for the things that meant the most.
