% 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.

with spirit San G ' s mighty Spartans erupted with spirit over the past school year. Even though many changes occurred: such as a new principal, the OCS (On Campus Suspension) Program, and the nonusage of street lockers to mention a few, Spartans still maintained their high spirits. Difficult as it may have been at times, especially at the end of each quarter and whenever bad weather hovered above, the loyalty of the Spar- tans shined through. Supporting their clubs, their sports, and themselves through academic achievement was something for each individual to be proud of. Basically a student ' s life consisted of eating, sleeping, and going to school. Getting involved was the answer to boredom. There were so many activities to get involved in too. There were plen- ty of activities going on throughout the year: assemblies were held to promote football and basketball games, in- troduce team members, and a variety of other things ranging from class com- petition to a presentation of formal evening wear; Homecoming week, which consisted of unusual ideas such as Rock-a-Billy day, stuffed animal day, and tie day; float building, which was one of the most competitive activities of the entire year; Halloween came around and everybody had a chance to dress up and show their true per- sonalities; then the carnival came to town; ICC day involved everyone who wanted to be involved. If one didn ' t find themselves in the middle of those ac- tivities, there was always Friday nights and a radical crowd cheering on the var- sity football and basketball teams. There was also the Powderpuff game. Senior and Junior girls had a chance to put on the jerseys and tackle an oppo- nent. The guys, the really bold ones, had a chance to put on the skirts, and like any other cheerleader, stand in front of an enormous crowd and get it roaring. Roaring with laughter in this case. If students didn ' t enjoy, or couldn ' t bring themselves to be totally radical, there were always activities which involved self-achievement and group participation. The marching, con- cert, and jazz bands, for instance, had individual musicians who worked as a group. Their involvement showed loyal- ty to the school as well as providing self satisfaction. For those who enjoyed Mexican dance, there was Folklorico. Drill team, tall flags, and color guard were groups that supported home foot- ball games by performing as groups. On the formal side of school activities was the newspaper and annual staffs. Their main job was to establish memories on paper, through pictures and writing, so that they would not be forgotten. Lastly, there was the junior- senior prom. This was the major activi- ty of the year, next to graduation, of course. The Spartans involvement, class and individual participation, loyalty to their school, high hopes for the future, and scholastic achievement, made it an ex- citing year, one which erupted with spirit.

Vernal Fall has a drop of 317 feet and is at its fullest in May and June, while winter snows are melting. Left: En- thusiasm erupts as cheerleaders get the crowd going at a pep assembly.
