San Diego's beauti- ful bay beneath a clear, cloudless sky pro- vided an enchanting setting for a romantic evening. - Chauffeured limosines helped perpet- uate the essence of enchantment for a few couples. Elegant dining and formal attire helped enhance the feeling for all. Couples spent the evening dancing to the music of Presence. The band was generally popular, avoiding disco and punk, and playing a wide selection ofslow dances. An impromp- tu drum solo received special appreciation. As the clock struck twelve the lights came on abruptly and blinded the dancers, who hurriedly rushed once again into the darkness. Although there were no school organized activities after the ball, many couples held parties and breakfasts. A few couples, who had energy left, tried bowling. Walks along the beach and camping out by bonfires were also, as usual, common, al- though the night was crisp. Overall, the evening was a memorable experience. No doubt, every individual found something in the evening that he or she will contemplate with fondness or amusement for years to come.

--we , The Associated Student Body, or A.S.B., was an elected cabinet which governed the student body throughout the school year. The A.S.B, was responsible for all school organized activities and events, and helped to provide supplemental funding for most campus organizations. The main goal of the A.S.B. leaders was to create a firm foundation, based on admi- ration and respect, for the future school governments to build on. Members of the A.S.B. were all leaders. The elected officials, the President, Vice- President, and Secretary, made up the brain of the A.S.B., while the commission- ers were its backbone. The student body, who elected the officials, were the living cells of the A.S.B., and their spirit and in- volvement were necessary to keep the A.S.B. alive and thriving. But the Associat- ed Student Body was not always the smoothly functioning organism that it ap- peared. its success, however, was proof that even with conflicts and obstacles, great re- sults were possible.

A former City Council member, Mr. Cox began his first term as Mayor of Chula Vista this year. The exper- ience from his political career enabled him to offer first-hand advice on the complex- ities of political government. Ms. Barbara Griffith, Griff to the A.S.B. Commissioners, was the Financial Secretary of the A.S.B. She saw to it that the A.S.B. office ran as smoothly as possi- ble in everything from printing A.S.B. Cards to balancing the books. A.S.B. President, Brad Wilson, oversaw the actions of the Commissioners and ran Congress and the Student Principal Guid- ance Council. He worked hard to help the school become accredited. He also ran the assemblies and performed the invaluable function of greeting the school each morn- ing with his rendition of the flag salute. Phil Coles, A.S.B. Vice President, ran the Inter-Club Council. As President of the Council he insured that all the clubs of the school ran efficiently, and he interacted with the teachers who were the clubs' spon- sors. The Secretary of the A.S.B., Dana Myres, had to do a lot of everything, but especially typing. As Secretary, she also saw to it that the business end of the A.S.B. ran efficiently. Overall, the A.S.B. officials worked well together to help make 1981-82 a successful year. Opposite page, clockwise from upper left: Dana Myres, Bradley Wilson.
