With Mark Miyashiro as president, the seniors participated in the building of a Homecoming float and regular fund raisers such as car washes and candy sales. Other officers, Vice- president — Lori Rynn, Secretary — Anna Hernandez, and Treasurer — John Kocher, were an extreme help to Mark and the senior class throughout the year. Many decisions had to be made con- cerning graduation; its location and date, the time and who would be speak- ing. Graduation was held on the football field on June 16. It followed the Sunday Baccalaureate ceremony, which was held in the gymnasium. Before leaving high school, seniors were treated to the Junior-Senior Prom, which was a gift from the Juniors. It was held in Ontario at the Red Lion Inn on May 28. The traditional Grad Nite at Disneyland was the final celebration by all seniors to enjoy bands, rides, and fun before they received their diplomas. !k feki April L. Abreau April L.

the summit Above: Seventy miles east of San Bernardino, is the pictures- que town of Idyllwild. Tahqultz Peak is the dominant feature of this attractive high country region and it lifts to a stony 8,828 feet. The lookout atop the peak is serviced by trail — no road crosses this wilderness. Left: After a previously rainedout class picture, seniors are treated to a day of sunshine. The photo was rescheduled on October 27. A senior can most definitely be described as someone who has made it to the top. The class of 1983 reached the summit of their high school years at the beginning of the fall semester. As upperclassmen, they had the respect and admiration of the other students as they led the school in sports and academics, as well as in authority. Seniors were the ones who arrived at the top after a long, grueling climb through classes, practice for athletics or band, cafeteria food, dull teachers, mountains of homework, dating, and part-time jobs. They were often regarded as the wise and ex- perienced members of the student body. Special privileges were also part of a senior ' s lifestyle. An upperclassman had a wide choice of classes and a schedule which would be most beneficial for him. Some seniors chose not to take a full schedule and work at a part-time job, while others took ad- vantage of the advanced math and science classes in preparation for college. Along with the authority and privileges of being a senior came a great amount of responsibility. As they looked toward becoming adults, they had to plan a career for the future. Deciding whether to go on to a future profession or go on to college was a crucial decision for the graduate to make. Then, if college was the choice, much work was in order for the applicant. Applying for scholarships became a responsibility for many of the seniors planning to go to college. The seniors also had the responsibility of maintaining the high level of school spirit and pride which kept the student body united. Many senior girls became members of the leadership squad so they could pro- mote school spirit. The senior guys excelled in athletics, whether on the field, courts, or in the pool. Dedication to a squad for three or four years was an honor shared by many seniors and letters on lettermen jackets were a common sight at San G. As graduation approached, the class of 1983 participated in many events designed exclusively for the seniors. The prom was given by the junior class for the seniors as a farewell. Then there was Grad night held at Disneyland and senior beach day and the senior picnic. Soon to follow was Bac- calaureate held on Sunday, June 12. Finally, the day of graduation arrived. As the seniors prepared for the important event, they looked back and reflected on their high school days. They remembered the last football game, building homecoming floats, sitting through sometimes dull classes, and the trauma of being a freshman. With a small amount of anticipation, they looked ahead. It was time for the seniors to climb to the next summit. To go on with their lives and to strive for the top as they prepared to leave San Gorgonio High School. editor: Gwen Bradac section assistant: Patty Muga
