panaBunw Girls Basketball Basketball clubs take part in ICC day. The Hoopsters was a basketball club that helped raise money for the boys ' basketball team. The Hoopsters con- sisted of freshmen, junior varsity, and varsity basketball members. Sophomore member Chad Marshall said, This is a great club. We have done more this year than we ever did. The Hoopsters contributed to ICC day and attended the carnival. Willie Ellison, sophomore starter added, I think varsi- ty can take CBL no problems and we ' ll be in good competition during CIF playoffs. The club adviser was Coach Stockham. San Gorgonio ' s junior varsity and varsity girls ' teams are great, said a Spartan fan. The girls basketball teams supported themselves by having people sponsor them in a free throw-a-thon, for so much money per basket from a possible of one hundred baskets thrown. Freshman starter, Diane Roberts, commented about the junior varsity team, We ' re good but some players think the team is theirs. That gets on my nerves. Diane Roberts was the second tallest JV girl. She was 5 ' 10 center-forward. The tallest JV girl was Teresa Miller who measured at an even 6 ' 0 . All girls who played basketball were members of the active club.

Freshmen 268 freshmen The freshmen class was a rowdy spirited group making up the graduating class of 1986. They came from the six junior highs, Arrowview, Richardson PREP HI, Del Vallejo, Golden Valley, with the majority coming from Serrano and Curtis, The freshmen became involved in clubs, sports, and other extra curricular activities. The first event that the freshmen at- tended was an orientation. The orienta- tion was held in order to introduce the new spartans to San Gorgonio ' s cam- pus. At the orientation, faculty members and ninth grade cheerleaders were introduced; afterwards, members of student council gave the new students a tour of their new school. On September 9, the first day of registration was held. The freshmen were the first group to register. Choos- ing their schedule and the teachers they wanted was new to them. At first, the students were confused, but by the end of the day the freshmen were ready to face the first day of school. Student council members helped a lot by pro- viding answers and directions, com- mented Ann Nicklin. The first major event for the class of 1986 was the elections of class officers, which was held two weeks after school started. After elections the freshmen class was able to organize. The freshmen did many activities throughout the school year. The first activity the freshmen did together was being involved in Homecoming. The freshmen par- ticipated in their first homecoming by building a float. The float, a future space ship, was constructed at John Hitchcock ' s house. It was fun working with everybody, commented Terry Murphy, one of the builders of the float. The freshmen also participated in San G ' s first carnival. The class ran the 7-(Jp booth. The best part about work- ing at the booth was trying to persuade the crowd to try our booth, said Cheri Evans, a worker. Being in their first year, freshmen hesitated in trying out for sports, but many did and there were many outstanding athletes. Most freshmen played on JV teams with the exceptions of basketball and football, which had freshmen teams. The freshmen teams were supported by the freshmen cheerleading squad, which consisted of seven girls. The freshmen cheerleaders also traveled with the water polo teams. Although there were some clubs that did not allow freshmen to join, the ninth graders were not discouraged. They found many organizations where they were qualified and quickly paid their dues and added their names to the membership rosters. Most freshmen could not go off cam- pus for lunch because transportation was a problem, so they decided to spend their time wisely. They became involved by participating in their new club ' s meetings. The class of 1986 expressed their school spirit through active involve- ment. Considering it was the first year of high school for freshmen, it was very successful.
