Cars Make Personal airings? Bracelets? Makeup? Mo! These are accessories for people, not cars. They do have one similarity: their purpose is to make the ordinary or plain . . . unique! I like to see cars that portray the personalities of their owners, I don ' t like to see people fix up their cars just to be hip . It has to say something about that individual! expressed Debbie Ash. When you see some cars in the parking lot, you can guess the type of person that drives it. The souped-VW ' s speak of an organized person that doesn ' t need a lot of bells and lights. The restored cars like the 56 ' Chevy or the ' 60 ' s Mustangs have classic owners. Being a fan of old model cars, I liked to see people take the time to restore them and be proud of owning an older car, confessed Susanne Cambell. One of the things most older cars required was paint. The way people have their LiiJji S iai Mike Al 9 ren . sopho- more, sports a fantastic paint job on his ' 66 Mustang convertible. This car re- flects a style that was as popular then as it is now. 10 • THEME cars painted really appealed to me. It made them unique and different, explained Matt Brandt. But paint alone can ' t do it Surveying the parking lot, one could spot cars of the same make, but accessories could make them different. Many hours and lots of bucks were spent looking for and buying those tires, wheels, chrome for the engines, mirrors, or even the stickers that decorated the windows. I never really kept track of how much money 1 spent on my car, I was more interested in the outcome, stated Marc Russo. Some students felt these car shows went to far don ' t like what some people did to their cars. It ' s like it was a fashion show, and too many people were in it. Everybody ' s cars were losing their individ- uality because everybody was doing the same thing, con- cluded Mark Wensel. That was the key to success; individual- ity. When it was your car, it had to be you! ton and Kathleen Lucius sit in his con- vertible Rabbit. Convertibles were the hot thing to beat the heat.

It ' s Great to be he crowd was in a state of hysterics, the emcee, Mike Johnson, had just announced Cary Rice as the first runner- up. I really enjoyed being the emcee with Stephenee Murray. I won ' t forget being able to get up in front of all those people and announce the winners, explained Mike Johnson, sophomore. The spectators were on their feet in anticipation of the 1987-88 homecoming queen being announced. The tension mounted as the announcer ripped open the envelope in readiness to announce the queen. And the winner is . . . Leigh Rittman. The applause thundered through the stadium, shrieks of excitement and tears of joy were emanating from the field; and there were more than a few hugs. It was nothing I expected to happen in my high school years, but it was very exciting! exclaimed Leigh. In addition to the night ' s major attraction, the half time festivities, there were performances by alumni band, pep squad, and chamber singers singing the National Anthem with soloist Marc Russo, senior, also a variety football player. It was the single most meaningful and rewarding experience in my high school years, revealed Marc. Although the Lions were defeated by the Hemet Bulldogs, there were personal performances. Mark Ryneal, Arlington ' s leading receiver, surpassing Jeff Scott of Hemet despite the loss to the undefeat- ed Bulldogs. I ' m happy I be- came the leading receiver, but I need more work if I want to stay the best, disclosed senior Mark Ryneal. Later in the evening, at the homecoming dance, the king was crowned. Finishing his pro- gression down the red carpet and through the human tunnel, Senior Don Southard was crowned homecoming King. It was pretty exciting and some- thing to look back on in about ten years. Besides, it was a great way to end the 1987-88 homecoming season, conclud- ed Don.
