Attendance at assemblies rises Did you ever stop to think what assemblies really were? Most students took the assemblies for granted. It wasn ' t just a place where one gathered with friends, it was a place where messages were conveyed. In San G ' s gymnasium assemblies were held to promote such things as annual sales and carnival participa- tion; also to introduce athletes and to encourage all teams on to victory and increase Spartan spirit. During the assemblies, a variety of events occurred, beginning with the Pledge of Allegiance and then on to the speaker who would tell of the upcoming events. Often the crowd participated in class competitions ranging from tricycle races to pie eating contests. Other assemblies in- cluded watching students perform songs, skits, and dances. Most assemblies were held before lunch. With the principal ' s approval, periods one through four were short- ened in order to have enough time for both the assembly and lunch. Many students enjoyed assembly day because they had the option of attend- ing or going off campus for an extra long lunch. Many missed the excitement of the pep assemblies and the spirit they generated. Doreen Amador, Director of Pep, stated that at the assemblies, spirit was very high. Our spirit this year was great. Our attendance was a little bit bigger this year. I hope next year we can keep our spirit going. Jeff Robin- son, class of ' 84 student life

k.V Carnival comes to town Get your popcorn here! Three tries for a dollar! Like to try your luck, sir? That ' s carney talk. These, and so many more expres sions could be heard on San Gorgonio ' s student parking lot during the third weekend of October. That ' s when the carnival came to town. Student Council planned the car- nival to raise money for school clubs. It ended as a big school activity that lifted spirit because most every club on campus participated. Club members were encouraged to run games and food booths that would in turn raise money for their particular club. Mecha, Showgroup, Alive, Faculty club and CSF ran the food and drink booths. They sold combo cups, pop- corn balls, candy and caramel apples, corndogs, and soda to wash it all down with. Diamond, AFS, freshmen class and German club, just to name a few, ran a variety of game booths. Nearly everyone, old and young, had a good time. I had a blast the two days I went, com mented junior, Bethie Brubaker. Of course, with a carnival comes rides. Nearly all went up and down and round and round. There were also rides for the little ones. There was the scrambler, a giant yellow slide, and a ferris wheel. I got sick on the yellow bathtub ride, said Kimale Sue Hud- son, a junior at San G. Even after money was spent, car- nival food was eaten, and stomachs were settled after radical rides, children, students, parents and grand- parents alike could come home from San G ' s first carnival and honestly say that they had a good time.
