Apollo High School - Capsule Yearbook (Simi Valley, CA)

Page 69 text:

The message I would like to leave to the Apollo Staff and students is one of great importance to me. What I would like to say is, HThanks to every - body for their help.N Because of their help, I am graduating from Apollo this year. I would like to add that I think I have learned something more than just the three R's about myself, which I feel is important. I also would like to leave my own little saying: nAlmost every student at one time or another will ditch.H When they do this they usually say to themselves, uthe vice principal is going to yell at me.H While later on in life the same student might decide to skip work and he'll probably think, Hwell, if I don't go to work, the boss will yell at me,H When he should thinking, Hlf I don't go to class, I won't get credit or credits to graduate.H And later on in life he'll say: uwowf If I don't go to work today, I could get fired, then I couldn't support myself or my family.H The thing I'm trying to say here is what Apollo is all about. The school gives you more than just educationg it give's you a lesson in life, and a chance at life. Ilm prohd to go here and very happy I did. Thank You again everybody. , Yours Irulyy The Mad Baker of kitchen III alias Greg Baker P.S. Watch out Moorpark here I come. Baker fih Apollo is not like any other school because the people are altogetherp different. This is more like one big family to me. The teachers are not like teachers, they are more like your close friends because they try to understand you more and take their time and don't rush you out the door and say, UGO to class!H like the teachers at the other High Schools. At other High Schools, it is a constant war between the students and the teachers. You are pushed to do work at them but not at Apollo. If you don't want to do something, you don't have to. People don't ditch here as much as other schools because they like their teachers and they can do their work when they'want I or as fast as they want. Sincerely, Joanne Zammit
