Valedictorian and salutatorian share thoughts Through lono hours of suffering from boredom, fatigue, confusion, and frustra tion. we ' ve finally done it! It seems truly a ' may ' zing that we, the class of 1983. have reached one of our goals Really though, it wasn ' t all that bad. In fact, it was kind of fun. However, through these four years of fun or misery, (whichever you prefer), I think all of us have learned a lot Not just in our studies — we ' ve also learned a great deal about one another and growing up Friends are what makes high school what it is, right? I bet if each and every one of you were asked what you remember most about San G, it sure wouldn ' t be some test you studied for It would be friendships and the crazy times you had And just because I managed to do okay in the classroom doesn ' t mean I didn ' t have fun. too! So to my bestest friends. Kim. Linda, Janet, Lana. Kelly, Gina. and Frank . . . thanks, it was real fun. Studying is important though Some of my best times were in class. And cer- tainly some of rny worst. Ill never forget when Kim Green and I had detention in Spanish I for talking We could either sit for 1 5 minutes or pick up trash for five. I think I picked up trash. Of course, my sophomore year was fun when everyone looked at me like I had some kind of disease on my hand, because 1 took chemistry then, instead of the traditional junior year (I never was very careful with that silver nitrate.) In the eleventh grade. I managed to get my finger stuck in my car steering wheel and wore it for two hours Talk about dumb! And this year, I ' ve experienced a very severe case of e mbarrassment when 1 was sent to OCS with two friends during third period Like everybody else. I contracted senioritis. from which I may never recover. Through my four years. I think I ' ve perfected the way to appear fascinated when my teacher is rambling on about subordinate clauses, and actually my mind is three miles away. I ' m not sure what all this is leading to. but I now realize that in order to succeed, you don ' t just crack the books every night Priorities have to be set, and so do limits! Procrastination, one of my major flaws, is something everyone should definitely try to overcome. Even though you may believe you ' ll never finish typ ing that term paper, never understand what a torque is, never be able to write 50 vocabulary words by Monday, never be able to write an essay on Madame Bovary or The Red Sadge of Courage without Cliff notes . relax ' Kick back for a while, you ' ve deserved it. I guess the point I ' m trying to make is that high school should be fun. so make sure you enjoy it while you still can. Cheryl Provence class of ' 83 ■ ; .- ' -ittiKl IK?) m vSA 4 ' - i ywfe Robert F. Vaughan Valedictorian Cheryl Provence Salutatorian In these past four years at San Gorgonio, I have been extremely lucky. Mot only have some very fine teachers impart on me a bit of their knowledge, but I have also gained the friendship and respect of many students and teachers. I will greatly value the friendships that I have made at San G for the rest of my life, and I am proud to have this chance to thank some of my friends giving me such good times and fond memories. I would like to thank some of my special friends, Dan, Tim, Doug, Mario, Brad, and others, for the fun that we had in school and out of school. These people gave me times that I will remember forever. Even when we got into trouble because we just couldn ' t seem to get back to school on time, we had fun because we were all in trouble together. I would also like to thank some of the people whom I wasn ' t always able to get together with after school, but with whom I had many terrific experiences during school, such as Robert, Kim, Patty, Darrell, Pam, Beth and David, and others. Many teachers are also dear to me for many different reasons, and I would like to thank some of them also for the friendship, support, and guidance that they have given me over the past four years. I would like to thank Mr. (Jhl and Mrs. Ellison for their understanding, and Mr. Dyer, who always had a friendly word and an open ear, for his friendship and respect. I would also like to thank Mr. Palmgren for striking up a conversation with me about anything and everything when he could see that I did not want to start my homework in class. There are others, such as Mr. Lees, Ms. Zanders, and Mr. Roberts, to whom I am thankful because they always respected me and regarded me as a friend.

% k i Although there are other friends whom I have failed to men- tion, they know that they are just as dear to me as those whose names I have listed here. I would like to remind all of my friends that although we may be separated by great distances, they will always be close in my heart, and I would like to dedicate this poem to them: Life is sweet because of the friends we have made And the things which in common we share We want to live on, not because of ourselves But because of the ones who would care It ' s living and doing for somebody else On that all of life ' s splendor depends. And the joy of it all, when we count it all up Is found in the making of friends. Robert Vaughan, class of ' 83 Top left: Intently listening to Mr Lowe ' s English lecture is April Abreau.
