What makes your seni or year spe- cial? It ' s a year of achievement. I have succeeded through high school and will now be going on to college.

Senior Class of ' 89 Supporting Elites H .aving given great support and up- holding for the senior class of 1989 was the senior council. Representating a class of ninety students, the members of the senior council helped organize special events and fund raisers that benefited the entire class. The senior council set out many goals this year. These goals were taken on by each individual in the council including the participation and cooperation of the entire senior class. We had pre-planning all major events (almost nine months before sched- ule) including prom, to have the security and benefit of having complete organiza- tion and success of all events. Consistent participation by the senior class throughout the entire year made it the ' best year for all seniors, said Sherry Ino, class president. The senior council believed that unity helped accomplish the goals for making the year special for all seniors. Participation from everyone was encouraged by the coun- cil so that the year would be truly success- ful. We had to keep in mind the many inter- By Loyd Calomay ests of the senior class and we tried to devel- op activities which they would all enjoy. It was difficult because many had different ideas for their senior year, said Neil Janis, Chancellor of Events. Senior homeroom teachers also made a great effort in contributing to the senior class, they helped out at each event, pro- vided students with motivation, and pre- pared them for graduation. They represent- ed the part-time parents of a large senior family. The support of the homeroom teachers was an essential factor in the organization and unification of the senior class. Mrs. Thatcher ' s enthusiasm was overwhelm- ing, said Lea Jayasinghe, vice-president. Members were: president — Sherry Ino, vice-president — Lea jayasinghe. Chancel- lors of Events — Neil Janis and Rachel Cunningham, secretary — Sandra Nova, treasurer — Jesse Paniagua, historian — Michael Kirshner, and class representative — Sherry Batalla. 1-1 r Senior counci 1 J Seniors

Eleventh Grade You can drive my car How many times have you wished that you had a car? For many of us, the answer to this question is in the hundreds. We wait anxiously for our dream car. Every- body ' s dreamed of having their very own car. From the day we realize that having our parents driving us around can get a little hectic, we begin scheming on a plan to get one, the sooner the better. When my parents pick me up, I think it ' s pretty cool ' cause they show they care, and even though I would rather have my own car, my parents will do for the time being, Armida Ayala, junior said. Whenever I ask my parents to drive me anywhere, they make a big deal out of it, so I end up not going or taking the bus, Susan Cortez, junior said. To most of us the dream of having our own car is only till our sixteenth birthday, but not all of us are that lucky. I had my car and my motor- cycles a long time before I had my license, Kelly Lambert, ju- nior, said. When I suggested to my parents that it was about time that I should get my car, they had a fit.. They said that I had to wait until I got my car. And until then, getting my own car was completely out of the ques- tion, Tricia Estares, junior said. I asked my parents to get me a car, but they told me that I would first need to find a job and buy it, Leah Ellsworth, ju- nior, said. I think we could all agree on one thing, it would make every- body happy if we could get what we wanted, namely a car. Bv Wendy Hernandez J I k ' : - ' C-!

The weekend is when I go out and sport my new wheels. Let me out of here — Anxiously await- ing Aft turn to drive out of the gate and into the traffic.

I say ' can you give me a ride ' they say well ... then I say pleeease, said Myrabelle Sagun. I say are you busy ' ? ' ' well if it isn ' t any trouble, can you possibly give me a ride? ' said So Young Kim. I just say, very nicely, ' hello good buddy, going my way, said Mario Plater. Well, I never really needed a ride anywhere, said Virgil Flowers. First of all, I ' m very nice to them all day then towards lunch, 1 quietly approach them then pop the question, said Heidi Lazo.
