Granted, it look careful planning to open Canyon Springs High School, even in its temporary site, at the for- mer Alessandro Middle School, and even with only two grades in atten- dance. What was more important, though, was that the school be opened with care, with a staff and student body that cared about the new school and about each other. The School Board and central ad- ministration had demonstrated care by choosing the gradual, two-grade open- ing plan, even though the current school, Moreno Valley High School, was quite crowded. The plan further provided for Canyon Springs students by assuring each of a full course selec- tion; students who needed courses of- fered only at Moreno Valley High i School could be bused to that location for part of the day. The community showed it cared by lending a helping hand wiih financial matters and by supporting the new school in other ways. A community swimming pool, to be used during the school day by Canyon Springs stu- dents, was planned for the new site. School staff members and students showed they cared by creating a warm. friendly environment at Canyon Springs. The staff and students are friend- ly. sophomore Jennifer Merrill said. They care about how students feel. You see smiles everywhere.

Some parents accompa- nied their children through the lengthy process, where students had the chance to purchase ASB cards (guar- anteeing admission to an uncertain freshman and ju- nior varsity athletic schedule), to buy sweatsuits (not due to be delivered until the following week), and to order subscriptions to the school newspaper and year- book (neither of which could yet boast of a trained staff). Those uncertainties, however, paled before the frus- trations faced by the counseling staff and school ad- f tirusion strik es ministration. How do you determine course offerings and make other plans for a school in its first year of existence? Certainly, it helped that only the two lower grades were to attend, but expected enrollments and student preferences were very uncertain. The master schedule was set, however, and most students arranged satisfactory schedules during registration. Some decided they needed a quick change once classes began. About half of the ninth-grade population was in to see me during the first week of school, Mrs. Judy Torrie, ninth-grade counselor, said. Mrs. Angela Armstrong, sophomore counselor, however, believed that most tenth graders were pleased with their schedules, and only a few changed ' Firsts ' satisfying Fitting Canyon Springs into a former middle school site provided its own challenges. The main locker area was very crowded (middle school students had not had lockers), and many equipment items had to be ob- tained to upgrade the school equipment to that of a high school. Deliveries of equipment (deliveries that were to continue most of the year) were sometimes a source of confusion, but those interruptions were kept to a minimum — as were interruptions from the public address system, which broadcast only for announce- ments at the start of second period and otherwise only between classes. There was confusion, and there was frustration, but there was also excitement. With the start of school, the activities program was off and running. Students were pleased that the first days of school saw the campus decorated, saw student government elections, and end- ed with the school ' s first dance. Efforts bring The first day of school was fun, freshman Lisa Price noted. I met lots of people. And the first dance? Cool, Pete Ruppert said. I thought it was fantastic, Mrs. Shelley Grote, home economics teacher, agreed. I had a great time, and everybody was so enthusiastic. I was also glad to see so many students. It was then that she, like many, could look back on all those firsts with satisfaction. yar- excitemen .« REGISTRATION PROBLEMS are d.scussed bv Mrs- Judy Tornc, roun- A DECORATED CAMPUS greets students the first day of school.

It was just the first of six special dress days. Halloween was followed by Toga Day, held Monday, Nov. 3, then, on successive days, by ' 50s Day, Hawaiian Day, Color Day and Western Day. We ' ve Only Just Begun was the theme, and, though Canyon Springs itself had begun less than two months before, and though there was certainly no one to come home, the school began to build toward the excitement of its first Homecoming with enthusiasm. Many students and staff members wore costumes Hal- loween Day, and at noon the best-costumed were cho- sen; Charles Clardy, as a woman, took the prize as best- costumed student, while Mr. Jack Cassette, as a heavy metal rocker, took the honors among the faculty. Although there were no formal contests on the :razy costumes remaining special dress days, student participation stayed high. Spirit Week was a total blast, Gina Oates said. People were dressed really funny those days. The week had other special activities. At a double assembly Tuesday, Nov. 4, members of the first Home- coming Court were introduced. Between the two assem- blies students attended a massive balloon launch, which was part of the district-wide Say No to Drugs cam- paign. As Thursday, Nov. 6, approached, students put the finishing touches on their class floats, then began to look forward to the special events of that day and to the first Homecoming Dance, that Friday night. Sp.ril Week 1 1 Cougars cook out One of the major events of Spirit Week was the Homecoming barbeque, which extended lunch to an hour and a half on Thursday, Nov. 6, Homecoming Day. The barbeque was put on by the cafeteria staff and by the ASB; the luncheon, which included a hambur- ger, beans, milk and a juice bar, cost one dollar. It was excellent, Desmond Rebello said. I thought it was going to be sorry, Marc Christen- sen admitted, but the hamburgers were not too bad. Of course, not everyone was happy. I didn ' t think (Mr. Jon) Gaffney could cook, Scott Finch said, and I was right. The day included a victory in Canyon Springs ' first Homecoming game, played at Moreno Valley High School; the Cougars crushed Palm Desert by a 41-7 score. Smoke and sm Led by Daylind Ridgeway ' s 209 yards passing and by the running attack of Rudy McGriff and Steve Mayo, the Cougars pulled away and never looked back, playing substitutes for most of the second half.

Even though this is the start of a brand-new school, he added, the students gave a spectacular performance. Two days before the crowning of the Homecoming Queen and Princess, held during halftime of the Nov. 6 Homecoming game, there had been two assemblies to introduce the entire court to the student body. Each candidate had been introduced to soft music; then, as each was escorted across the darkened gymnasium floor, a few brief statements about her had been read. Following those assemblies, the students had voted for their choices. During the halftime show, the candidates arrived at the field in open cars. Following the band ' s show, the court members took the field, escorted, in most cases, Lispense sizzles by their fathers. A few moments of suspense passed, then the winners were announced. Angela Moreno had been elected the Freshman Princess, and Rainbow Meyers had been chosen as Canyon Springs ' first Homecoming Queen. I never dreamed I would ' ve become queen, she said, though my friends encouraged me. Halftime ended with a procession of court and floats around the field. The following day the Homecoming Dance was held. It was a semi-formal event, and Lifetouch Portrait Studio was present to take photos, for those who wished to commemorate the last event of the first Canyon Springs Homecoming. Homecoming 15 Anticipati Day by day, the new school takes shape While students coped with using the former Alessandro Middle School as their campus, they eagerly awaited the completion of the new Canyon Springs campus at the northwest end of town. Though many students were not able to visit the new campus, those who did felt pride and enthusiasm. Student gov- ernment leaders got a preview tour of the site Sept. 24. What I feel about this school is ex- citement, Jennifer Landtiser, the direc- tor of athletics for the Associated Stu- dent Body, said. As a brand new school, we get to set tradition for later years. What we have at Canyon Springs is that both the teachers and kids have better attitudes, and in years to come Canyon Springs is going to become bigger and better. Teachers who visited the new building Sept. 1 8 were equally enthusiastic. Some had moved great distances for the chal- lenge of opening a new school; others had also made a major decision: to leave Mor- eno Valley High School for the opportu- nities Canyon Springs had to offer. We will have one of the nicest high schools in Southern California to go w ith our excellent students and teachers, said Mr. Tom Chelbana, formerly of Moreno Valley High School. We will have the best school, because a lot of peo- ple are working hard to make it that way. SI L UtN I lOl R: Studcnl government rcprcscnuilivcs and Mr. Doug Stockham.

Yvonne Ro- mero, keeps the spirit alive by entertaining the crowd at games. Romero was chosen from four girls for the position during the cheerleading trjouts in April. I9R6. DIAL PAWS : The school mascot and colors were chosen by the students, but the Canyon Springs spirit was largely due to the ent husiasm of Mr. Don Hagen. school principal. School Sptril D i a l ' Paws ' Phone number is special Students showed enthusiasm even before Canyon Springs was opened by participating in choosing its mascot and colors. In late March of 1 986, Mr. Don Ha- gen, principal, and Mrs. Joan Bussey, school secretary, went to Alessandro and Butterfield middle schools and to Moreno Valley High School to start the selection of Canyon Springs ' nick- name and colors. From student nomi- nations, the choices were narrowed to ten in each category; elections fol- lowed. Those students who would be in- coming freshmen from Butterfield and Alessandro were able to participate in the elections. Freshmen at Moreno Valley High School who were going to Canyon Springs the following year were also allowed to vote. By early April 650 students had voted. In late April, Hagen announced the winning colors, turquoise, black and white, and the winning nickname, Cougars. Color choices had included red and white, and black, red and white; nick- names nominated had included Wild- cats and Wolverines. Students who voted for the winning colors and mascot, of course, were happy with the outcome. The students that didn ' t get their choices, however, or who didn ' t vote, were also mostly happy with the results. Danelle Germo, a student who wasn ' t in the school district at the time of the vote, said she was happy and thrilled with the results, because tur- quoise, black and white are unique col- ors, and the cougars prove power. I voted for red and white for the colors, Laura Zappulla said. Even though Zappulla didn ' t get her pick of colors, she said, she liked tur- quoise, black and white anyway, be- cause the colors went with the cougars. Zappulla also liked the mascot, be- cause there was a ring to it: Canyon Springs Cougars. After the colors and mascot were chosen, students continued to show en- thusiasm by wearing school colors on Fridays. According to Angela Hurt, many students also wore school colors to most sport games and to Moreno Valley High School. To show even more spirit for its mas- cot, Hagen thought of a phone number to go with cougars. To replace the old number, 247-0505, 247-7297 was installed. It was easy to remember: Canyon High School-PAWS. The number made it easier to re- member, and it directly reflected the appearance of the .school mascot, Ha- gen said. It also said that we wanted and encouraged community and par- ents to call us. The mascot, colors and phone num- ber helped bring enthusiasm and spirit to Canyon Springs. Homework? a a a r r r g h! I give homework because it ' s im- portant to be able to study in an envi- ronment the students enjoy, said Mr. Greg Swenson, English teacher, a can of pop, a few tunes and easy access to the refrigerator. Unfortunately for students who dis- agreed with his philosophy, two hours of homework per class weekly was re- quired by the Moreno Valley Board of Education. Some students, including Kari Spo- lestra, felt that the district ' s policy was unfair. According to Spolestra, Home- work is a bore. I think students should study just as much as they need to get good grades. Not all of two hours a week per class is really necessary. 1 think that a student should be able to choose the amount of time to spend on homework, Nicole Ladson agreed, whether it be 30 minutes, an hour or however long it takes to get it down. In contrast to those students who disliked homework, there were some who saw its value. I like homework because it helps me to do better in school, Portia Irvin said. I don ' t mind doing homework, Myrh Lee Saria conceded. Teachers have to teach other ways beside just in class. Appreciated or not, homework was a frequent part of Cougar life. HOMKVVORK is for teachers, too. Mr. Don Miller grades students ' work during his spare time.

Driving iM ' Mom! ' ' When do I get my car? ' Only a few Canyon Springs students had their own cars, and only 15 stu- dents could drive to school. The many who were left wishing for a ' car gave niany reasons for that wish. On6 reason, certainly, was the school ' s transportation system. I want my own car, so 1 won ' t have to put up with the bus, said Danelle Germo. Also, Til have more freedom afid can go more places. I can ' t wait until I can get my own car, Jennifer Hanke said. I can ' t stand riding the bus, because it ' s too crowded. I think people who go to different schools should ride different buses. That way people won ' t have to sit three to a seat, and there won ' t be any people hanging in the aisles, stated Pam Thomas. Buses accommodated students from both Canyon Springs and Moreno Val- ley high schools, presumably because Canyon Springs ' student body was composed of freshmen and sopho- mores only. As a result, most bus rid- ers arrived at Canyon Springs 40 min- utes before the start of school. Of course, riding the bus was not the only way that students could get to school. Some students had family or friends drive them. I like having my mom drive me to school, because then I don ' t have to be at the bus stop at a certain time, Jen- nifer Dickson said. Some lived close enough to the school to walk, and some had the luxu- ry of deciding each day whether to walk or ride. I don ' t like to walk home when I ' m wearing heels, when it ' s cold, or when my friends aren ' t with me, Arlenna Gipson said. Sometimes I do like to walk home, like when I ' m acting crazy or when I ' m with my friends, but I ' d rather ride.

In fact, as the last bell rang, some Cou- gars ' enthusiasms first began to stir. Some students may have gone home to do their homework, others may have gone out with their friends, and still others may have stayed at school for afterschool sports or activities. What did Cougar afterschool life involve? I partied and played on my gui- tar, said Ron James, a member of the rock group Sanctuary. Besides partying and giving thrash parties, James said, he also enjoyed going to the bowling alley or to a friend ' s house. Some Cougars preferred to venture into different territories, including piz- za parlors and video arcades. Flipper Flapper Fun Company and Castle Park were two of the arcades Cougars sometimes occupied. Both businesses had video games, but unlike the more conventional Flipper Flap- per, Castle Park, located in western Riverside, was also an amusement park offering a variety of entertain- ments. There was miniature golf, and there were many rides. The combina- tion drew teens from throughout the area. Castle Park was a fun place to go to, Jeff Olivia said, because there were a lot of teenagers. Trace Melton, however, liked Flip- per Flapper, both for its good video games and for its convenient location, in KMart Center. Some Cougars, however, pursued afterschool activities even closer to home. Myrh Lee Saria, among others, spent her time after 2:43 practicing with the school softball team. BRl NSWKK Rt.f RKATION CENTER was the largest iz.ithering place in Moreno Valley. The bowling alley held kigucs and open bowling seven days a week. Hair was on the rise Wild, new hairstyles were a main attraction of the Cougars ' school year. Added to the old styles were the new, trendy hairstyles, which many guys and gals were wearing. It was an unusual year, to see the creative changes in hairstyles, Kim Bailey said, but the most amazing thing was the way most of the guys on campus got their hair to stand straight up in the air. Many students around campus felt that the new styles were fun and inter- esting, and nowhere close to being bor- ing. They believed that their parents didn ' t really mind the wild styles, as long as their children still had hair - which was not the case for some. I feel the changes in hairstyles will be in for a long time, said Mike Un- derwood. It ' s mostly like music: it never goes out. just gets better. The different standup or stickout hairstyles were adopted more by guys, but a few girls did have them, and some girls made original creations of their own with off-the-wall hair colors. Hair color was an important ele- ment in some ' 87 hairstyles. The most popular change was from brunette to blonde - or to a single streak of color. Long hours and hard work went into the creative hairstyles, ex- claimed Linda Ignacio, but no way would I wear my hair like that!

Rap beat grabs new listeners RUN-DMC and the Beastie Boys: they were both a part of the ever-more- popular rap culture. Rap had been around for a while, but in 1986-87, more and more people were discover- ing it. People .enjoy the rhythm and beat, rap fan Rufus Johnson said. The rhythm and beat were a major part of rap music ' s appeal: it was one of the easiest types of pop music to dance to. its unique style and individuality set it apart from any other type of music. No instruments were necessary to cre- ate the music. For the most part, people listened to rap music for the rhythm and beat, but the lyrics also played a big part. They were interesting and informative, sometimes conveying messages about drugs and alcohol. According to fans, to come up with such creative and entertaining raps took a very talented mind. A good rapper can convey a mes- sage and make it interesting, Denise Derting said. They make you want to hear and remember it. With all the raps groups there were, lively discussions occurred over which group was best. The most popular groups, however, were RUN-DMC. and the Beastie Boys. RUN-DMC had been rapping for a while, but the Beas- tie Boys were new on the scene. Many wondered how long rap would be around. Most believed it would last ten years or less, but a few students thought that rap would stick around and develop into a new type of music. Though rap was popular with students, the Grammies were awarded to more traditional groups and artists. Steve Win- wood won Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocalist. His Back In The High Life album won Best Engineered Recording. That ' s What Friends Are For captured Song of the Year. Robert Palmer took Best Male Rock Vocal Perfor- mance with Addicted to Love. Bruce Hornsby and the Range received Best New Artist. Tina Turner won Best Fe- male Rock Performance with Back Where You Started.

Pop Musk 29 No shortage of worry in ' 8.6-87 There was no shortage of danger for students in California, at least where health issues were concerned. Drugs were a real problem in Moreno Valley, as in the rest of the nation. Crack was a deadly reason to stay away from drugs. The newest form of cocaine was an even more potent, extremely addic- tive drug. This deadly substance took the lives of many nationwide. Thousands of people died each year from drunk driving, one of the leading causes of death among teenagers. SADD (Students Against Driving Drunk) and MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) were two of the organizations that worked against drunk driving. Canyon Springs focused its efforts on alcohol, drugs and smokmg. Smoking was outlawed in every high school in California, but it was also illegal in every public place in Beverly Hills. Riverside city government also discussed banning all smoking in pub- lic areas. Not all news was tragic. Fergie and Andrew were the couple of ' 86. Sara Ferguson and Prince Andrew tied the knot July 23. The America ' s Cup was reclaimed in 1987 by a San Diego Yacht Club team, led by Dennis O ' Conner. Stars and Stripes demolished Kookaburra III, 4-0, in a best-of-seven series. O ' Connor was the only skipper to lose to another country, then win the cup back. • 4 9 I f A HIGIIW AY PATROL officer talks to Canyon Springs slu- denls in an assembly sponsored by SADD. ■ !h , i - ' ■ ' ' ■ ' ' - ' d f - ' he districfs three hiff school sit three high « ( ■xV .cv . v V VX ' ' Nl N ,a NO .o ■ v .v .W VO - - riv f v n. ,A ° - v c :e =,e XN A .. ° ' ' .A % ' . c% ' N .. vV aW ■ ' ' •-i sv- v v r. - v v :a9 •VO oV Wle.

CL AGGEG CLUBG i CLASSES AND CLUBS 53 p lanning a new high crlnrvz-Al thought, time, money and a lot of hard work ] Ayr -iny students began the school year confused about what school they should attend. The confusion was created by the unusual attendance areas for the two high schools. When the Board of Education set attendance boundaries, it tried to have a social, economic and eth- nic balance. The Board divided Moreno Valley into five parts. Three of the parts were placed in Canyon Springs ' attendance dis- trict, and the other two became Moreno Valley ' s territory. Setting attendance boundaries was only a part of the Board of Education ' s initial concerns. At the same time the former Alessan- dro Middle School was established as Canyon Springs ' temporary campus, the Board was working to fmance the construction of the new campus, on Manzanita north of Ironwood. Construction of the school was to cost over 26 million. Fifteen percent of the money for construction came from the California Lottery. The rest came from ta.xes. Those taxes came to the district as state aid, as local property taxes, and as developers ' fees. Taxpayers who paid those taxes, either directly or indirectly, also got the benefit: a new high school was built for some of the community ' s children. iW OB-LAR nd ,) cniuird siudcnls to attend Canyon Springs. 34 Planning Kij)j;-.v .

Mrs. Joan Bussey, Hagen ' s sec- retary, said that the worst part of starting a new school was seeing that everyone got the right courses. The most confusing part at registration was handing out the schedules and making sure all stu- dents got the classes that they needed. However, the job did have its rewards. I met a lot of nice kids, she said, and worked with a great staff. Tina Lawton, a freshman, agreed that the beginning of the year was organized nicely. The easiest part was when you first came in to get the pictures and ASB cards, Lawton said. The most confusing part of regis- tration was when they lost my card. Lawton was not alone. Other students had their own difficulties. Holly Reese was a second freshman who was frustrated by the begin- ning of school. Her complaint was that it was difficult to locate her locker. Leiben Ivester, like many who did not attend the campus the previous year, had trouble finding classes. Sophomore Kathy Cunning- ham said that they could have done a better job. Getting started also had its good points. Ivester and Reese, both members of the tennis team, agreed that school sports were the most organized. Despite some problems, by the time classes were under way, most students were plea.sed with their schedules. - MOVING DAY: Mrs. Joan Bussey, school secretary, checks a shipping list of new equipment being moved into the school.

Similar techniques were used to teach students in classes as dif- ferent as English and metal shop. According to Mrs. Sharon Walsh, English teacher, simula- tions helped her ninth-grade stu- dents learn the importance of neat work and good writing skills. When you fill out a real applica- tion, she emphasized, it will be easier if you have already had some hands-on practice. Taco Bell provided job applica- tions for her classes to fill out.

Her students took part in an- other simulation, keeping ba- bies, dolls or stuffed animals, with them during school hours. The simulation was important, Grote explained, because it gave students an idea of what it is like to be responsible for another person. You learn responsibility, Tif- fany Benavides agreed, what it ' s like to have a child. Home economics and industrial technology together composed the Practical Arts Department, of which Mr. Ed Loman was the chairman.

I . rts }9 v lasse: a new generation prepa re ■pj lanning for both present and future needs, Canyon Springs chose to emphasize classes that prepared students for the future: computers, math and science, the technical arts, had a prominent place in school plans from the start. The first decisions were made in April, 1986. Mr. Don Hagen, principal, and Mr. Richard Salley, computer coordinator, working to- gether, decided how many com- puters would be needed and what models would serve best. I recommended Macintosh for its wide range of applications, Salley said. We wanted them to be used in a lot of different ways, including math, English and typ- ing- The school purchased 72 Ma- cintosh computers, and students and staff members set about learn- ing to use them. Staff members had an orientation session before the school year began; many intro- ductory classes helped students during the year. One unusual feature of the school was its lack of typewriters. Typing was taught using comput- ers. Almost every profession in the future, Salley said, will use com- puters in some way. Because of the school ' s two-year status, only the basic math courses, algebra, geometry and life sciences were offered. HAND-EYE coordination is important when vou learn to type, said typing student Ryan Durham. Erii VX ' ashington uses the lomputcr to practice for his typing class.

All three groups had plans for the spring, but all had to work to get started. It is a new beginning, Mrs. Debra Yutko, math club adviser, explained. We have had difficul- ty meeting long enough to accom- plish much, due to the great in- volvement of our members in other activities, mainly sports. Because they planned a trip to the Museum of Science and Indus- try, math club members found themselves most often involved in fundraising activities. The science club also planned activities for the remainder of the year, including a field trip to Scripps Marine Aquarium. I wish there were more mem- bers and more money, Mrs. Becky Rodocker, a science club ad- viser, said, especially to do more interesting activities. The computer club, an informal group that helped students be- come more aware of computer technology, met every Monday and Wednesday for lunchtime ac- tivities. In this technological day and age, Mrs. Bev Allen, the group ' s adviser, said, I feel this is an im- portant organization that fulfills a great many student needs.

The liberal arts departments looked ahead, as they made plans for the next school year. According to Mr. Don Miller, English department chairman, plans for freshman and sophomore English included Developmental English I and 11, to be added to regular and honors sections. College prep electives for ju- niors were to include humanities, American literature and Shake- speare. General electives would in- clude science fiction and fantasy, detective fiction, school publica- tions and speech. Plans included a performing arts department, which would add advanced theater and television production classes to the basic courses offered in those areas in 1986-87. History additions planned in- cluded U.S. history, both regular and advanced. Economics, psy- chology and The Law and You were also planned. Introduction to Social Studies, formerly re- quired, was to become an elective.

The first year the Spanish club just began to get started with activities, Mrs. Judy Tetley, a Spanish club adviser, said. I have great expectations for the future Spanish clubs in the years ahead. The Spanish club members planned to become more aware of the Hispanic world and its cus- toms. They also planned to orga- nize a foreign language week in the spring, with a lot of enjoyable ac- tivities. Club members made Span- ish banners to support the football team at Homecoming and held fi- estas that celebrated Halloween, Christmas and Valentine ' s Day. A variety of students joined the Spanish club because they were in- terested in the Spanish language and Its culture. There were no re- quirements except to pay dues and attend meetings. The French Club also accom- plished many activities over the ' 86-87 school year. The French Club was a united organization, said Mrs. Sarah Wettlaufer, club adviser. The members really had fun. Members of the French and Spanish clubs planned to be in- volved in International Week in the spring, when all foreign lan- guages would be introduced to stu- dents.

Even though none of the stu- dents in the yearbook class were experienced in yearbook pulica- tions, overall the yearbook was a success, said Kadette Patzer, edi- tor. There was a lot of hard work that was put into the yearbook, some good and some bad, but with the help of the adviser, Mr. (Charles) Gahagan, Canyon Springs first yearbook will be one that will be remembered. The yearbook staff did a re- markable job, especially consider- ing our unique circumstances, Gahagan said. Although there were many complications selling advertising and makmg our dead- lines, the staff was very ambitious in its goals for the yearbook, and most members worked hard to meet those goals. Kadette, in par- ticular, was outstanding. The newspaper, the Paw Press, began the last quarter of the school year. Its goal was to prepare for the next year ' s newspaper staff, to make that group more exper- ienced and ready immediately to start publications in 1987-88. This year ' s newspaper got off to a very slow start, said Mrs. Sharon Walsh, newspaper adviser. Freshmen in an honors English cla.ss spent additional time creating a school newspaper, which meant the regular class came first. YEARBOOK, FRONT ROW- lul,o, M,l, 1 c ,„ M..y. P.m, Cappucc.,,,. T„.

School PublicatK reative on C developed by :in( tlets drama, music, art , performing arts Everyone needs to be a well rounded person, Mrs. Becky Raleigh, art teacher, said. Academ- ics are important, hut developing a creative side is, too. At Canyon Springs that side could be developed through art, music and drama classes. Two teachers helped students grow in creativity. I consider myself very fortu- nate to be the first art teacher at Canyon Springs, Raleigh said. I got to teach something I love, and I got to work with a lot of gifted students. Raleigh did not know she want- ed to be an art teacher until about five years before coming to Can- yon Springs. Although she had always been an artist, at that time she decided that she wanted to be- come a teacher. Students in the music and dra- ma programs had to work at de cl- oping group disciphne as well as individual creativity. According to Mr. Ken Floras, music and drama teacher, they did so very well. They are a very special group of people, Flores said. Our marching band competed very well against other groups. In choral music, Flores ' stu- dents learned to sing several styles of music, including pop, classical, forties, and fifties. They learned how to sing as a group, he said, and to be musical. Flores had the experience of playing in numerous musicals and plays himself and understood, therefore, their importance to stu- dents. Students at this school care a lot about drama, he said, and they have a lot of responsibility. AN IMPORT.

Drama Club V oncerts, magic trees J Charlie Brown mark the year for the choir and drama clubs ' -yi wo major parts of the Canyon Springs performing arts pro- gram were the choir and the school ' s drama club. The drama club started the year off with a play called The Magic Christmas Tree, which was per- formed Dec. i6, 1986, in the school gym. It was shown twice, once in the afternoon and another time in the evening. The play focused on a Christ- mas tree, played by Rainbow Myers, that came to life because of a magic ornament. A villain named Slugdirt, played by Crystal Ander- son, tried to take the magic orna- ment away from the Christmas tree. I enjoyed the play very much and was very impressed with Can- yon Spring ' s drama students, said sophomore Tom May. Emilie Stewart, president of the club, said, Drama club was an en- tertaining experience, and it gave me an opportunity to meet new people. The club planned to produce a musical, You ' re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, in the spring. There were other ways that a person could express himself artis- tically; one way was through the choir. Choir has always made me feel as though I ' ve accomplished some- thing hard that no one else has done, stated choir member Eva Picon. When you sing, you learn about yourself and your voice, and you let your real self come out through your music. Although we have only been here a year, Nanci Brown said, I thmk our choir and drama club had very nice performances.

She was the president of the Art Club. The club had about lo members, all of whom enjoyed art. Although not all of them were en- rolled in an art class, all the mem- bers agreed that art is beautiful. The club was not organized like a class and, in fact, only one winner in the National Date Festival con- test, Gabe Hood, was in the club. For some, however, it offered a chance to do art without being in an art class. Such was the case with Michele DePierro. She wanted to take art, but could not fit it into er schedule, so she decided to join the art club. The club adviser was Mrs. Becky Raleigh. It is a very good idea, she said of the club. Hopefully, next year I will have a little more time to offer. Danelle Germo was the club ' s vice president, and Nikki Smith was the secretary. The club allowed students to have their works exhibited at con- tests and fairs, if they wished to do so. As of second semester, the club had held one artist ' s reception, for club member Jennifer Talley, and was planning others. The group also planned field trips to several art museums and galleries. Members planned to hold fundraisers to earn money for the trips. Guest speakers were to be invited to attend meetings, if that could be arranged.

The musicians and flag corps had been together for four weeks of school when the band first com- peted. Members had no uniforms, only instruments, flags and hopes of winning. They had practiced every day after school except Fri- day; eight musicians and all the members of the tall flag line had practiced intensively for two weeks during the summer. At that first competition, held at Cal Poly in Pomona Nov. i, the band placed third of nine bands in its division. The Cougar band competed four times in all, ending the season with a second, a third and a fifth. The band not only took part in competitions, it also played at foot- ball games. The group performed at three home games during half- time, including the Homecoming game, Nov. 6. The band ' s first performance was Oct. 2, at the first home football game. During winter a small pep band played at some home basketball games. According to Karman Johnson, the flag captain. Our color guard got off to a wonderful start for its first year of competitive existence. Most other schools would not even attempt to compete in their first year. I ' m very proud of our march- ing band, Flores said. They ' ve worked very hard and deserve a lot of credit. They are a very special group of people.

The ASB basically planned most of the activities that took place in school and for the school. said President Michelle Missil- dine. For a new school, Mr. Doug Stockham, ASB adviser, said, ASB officers were hard-work- ing. The ASB planned activities, such as Homecoming, which start- ed new Canyon Springs traditions. In order to make it work, we spent a lot of time figuring how we were going to do it, Jeff diva, vice president, said. We called many of our local businesses.

The ASB also created the Legs Contest. Contestants were udged from behind a screen show- mg only their legs. The Legs Contest was quite successful, Missildine said. I think our ASB has done great for it being our first year, she added. We accomplished or- ganizing our first Homecoming, and it turned out pretty good.

Ws : SAE)D tlirOliall ■ ' publicity an( out, drunk drivers, is out to save you ' contracts for life ' Students didn ' t wait for a trage- dy before taking action against the dangers of drunken driving. At the end of September, SADD, Students Against Driving Drunk, held its first meeting. SADD is an organization that deals with the tragedies of students driving drunk, one member explained. Friday Night Live, held Dec. 16, 1986, demonstrated what SADD hoped to achieve. The pre- sentation, similar to others shown to junior and senior high school students all over the United States, emphasized the dangers of driving drunk. SADD hoped to start a Safe Ride Program, which would allow students to call a num- ber if they felt they were too in- to.vicated to drive. Cans ' on Springs is very active compared to other schools, SADD president Danelle Germo said. About three-fourths of Califor- nia ' s high schools had SADD chapters. Mr. Tom Chelbana, the spon- sor of SADD, thought it was a fantastic program. If students are going to drink, he said, they shouldn ' t drive. My goal is to have no stu- dent from Canyon Springs die in a drinking-related accident. Chelbana felt the most students got out of SADD was being around other students who shared the same views on drinking and driving as they did. There were appro. imately thirty students who attended the SADD meetings. Chelbana hoped that in the future man) ' more would join.

Although both groups were organized to help stu- dents help others, they operated in very different ways, and they worked to benefit very different people. The Canyon Springs chapter of Amnesty International was led by Mrs. Chris Reifel, who described herself as a strong believer in equa- lity for all people. The Amnesty group attempted to help free those people in foreign countries who were prisoners of conscience, meaning those who were impris- oned simply because of their be- liefs. Members learned about such prisoners and wrote letters peti- tioning governments for their re- lease. Our group works with the prisoners in Chile, South America and the Soviet Union, Reifel said. Sometimes a few letters are Ignored, but if thousands of letters pour into one country from an- other country, a message will be received that many in the world are concerned. Amnesty Interna- tional is a really great organization. It does the kind of work that really matters, and I am proud that Can- yon Springs has this group on its campus. The Cougarettes, though shar- ing a desire to help others, worked very differently from Amnesty In- ternational. The Cougarettes were a hostess club that gave faculty luncheons, threw dances and helped students with other school- related activities. Mrs. Susan Rhodes and Mrs. Linda Acosta were the driving forces behind the success of the Cougarettes ' work. I like the Cougarettes ' work, Beckv Crum said. It ' s fun.

SPORTS I B ig plays prove a key to first season wins After losing its first two games by a combined 44-20 score, the JV football team put together eight straight wins. At the beginning of the season, the team kept playing as individuals, running back Steve Mayo, named the team ' s most valuable player, said. But then our team came together. Coach Jack Fogarty agreed. We felt they were capable of it, he said, if they had the right attitude. Powered by running backs Rudy McGriff and Mayo, the team outs- cored its opponents of the last eight games by more than ick) points. The defense, meanwhile, held opponents to nine points per game. According to Fogarty, the team ' s most improved player was quarter- back Daylind Ridgeway. After the line ' s blocking im- proved, he felt more comfortable in the pocket, Fogarty said. That improvement resulted, center Jason Lowe said, from the line ' s deter- mination. Before every game, Lowe said, Coach Fogarty would say ' It all de- pends on the line, ' and it did. If we weren ' t blocking well, Steve, Pete (Ruppert), (Coaches ' Award win- ner) Greg (Zomalt), Rudy or Day- lind would always let us know. The line always hated to see them get hit, because we knew it was our fault. Ridgeway ' s main receiver was Ru- fus Johnson, who caught 14 passes for 245 yards. We had an offense that was very well executed, Johnson said. We could either pass or run efficiently. f JV FOOTBALL, FRONT ROW: Brijn MorcUnd. Howard Johnson, Brad I loUingswonh, Dec Jones.

We had a great winning season and everybody improved. All we did was just have fun. The Cougars lost their very first game, but they won their second with a shutout against Bloomington. The team went on to finish the season with a 5-4 won-Iost record. They were all good, Cassette said, but, unfortunately, only one could be named Most Valuable Player. Wayne Collins was given that honor. The Most Valuable Running Back was Mike Christensen. He ran for 265 yards in 33 rushes. We slacked off more than a cou- ple of times in a couple of games, Christian explained. The Most Valuable Lineman was Manny Hernandez. The Most Im- proved Player was Victor Cruz, and the Coach ' s Award was given to Jo- seph Aliviliar. He ran 1 30 yards in 30 rushes. I feel that we could have won a couple more football games, and that would have really improved our sea- son, Cassette said. Our biggest im- provement was in our offense. It was more complicated and took longer to coordinate than the defense. Thanks to our defense, which was more than an average freshman defense, we were able to stop teams from scoring. «V ,f ' 35f 8?,L ., 2 FROSH FOOTBALL, FRONT ROW; Gerald Lo- vclt.

' Ramona WON 5, LOST 4 ' 4 Frosh Football 69 L ate start makes it tough for new team The first girls ' volleyball team in the history of Canyon Springs finished its season with a less than historic record: five wins and 13 losses. Mrs. Sharon Walsh, the team ' s coach, was in her fifth year of coach- ing volleyball. Her previous exper- ience had been in Midland, Michi- gan, from which she had moved in August, 1986, to teach and coach at Canyon Springs. They tried their best, Walsh said, but it was hard. I wish I could have moved here earlier, so we could have practiced more. Varsity teams start practice during the summer. We needed more time for prac- tice, Wendy Hilbert agreed. Once the season began, the games came too fast, just one after another. The figures at season ' s end weren ' t too reassuring. The team had started and ended its season with two-match losing streaks, losing each time in two straight games. The team ' s five wins had been scattered throughout the volleyball season. I was very discouraged with our record, Nicole Ladson, a first-year player, said. We were sort of unorga- nized. Any season can be better in a first-year school like this, Coach Walsh explained. It ' s very hard to start a new year without being in a league. The Most Valuable Player award, Walsh said, was given to a girl whose fundamentals were superbly executed and whose aggressiveness was excel- lent. She was also a great sport. The girl was Yaritza Morales. VOLLEYBALL, FRONT ROW: Sm- Uoughlon. N, Coa.h W.lil . U iu A ostj. T.flanv TihIh-, Jcnmlc-r Jol n- colc Ljdson. MKhcllc S.,m,.

I think that the girls tried really hard, coach Laura Tucker said. After all, only four of the girls even owned tennis rackets. Because Canyon Springs had no tennis courts, the girls had to use oth- er school courts as a place to practice. I think that the team had a lot of spirit, team member Jacki Hanke said. It was a good experience for everybody who played this year, and I hope that next year there will be more girls interested in playing. The team had no tryout sessions. Students were asked if they were in- terested in playing; if so, they were welcome to become part of the team. .r . . TENNIS, FRONT ROW: Lcbcn Kcstcr. Shannon Bojorquez, Holly Reese.

I felt that the season was very successful, Richard Couch, a first runner, explained. The races were very hard, hut we all had fun. The Most Valuable Runner was Dwayne Walker. Dwayne earned this, because he would never quit, Ms. Kathy Ross, the coach, explained, and we could always count on him to show up for a race. According to Ross, Walker ran very aggre.ssively against his oppo- nents, which earned him two medals a t invitational meets. One was given to him at Perris; the other was award- ed to him by Yucaipa High School. I feel great to be the Most Valu- able Runner, Walker said. Our sea- son had its ups and downs. Miguel Serratos usually placed first among Canyon Springs runners. I thought the season went great, he said. It was a terrific experience. I remember when we went to Twin Pines to run a race, Mike Col- well said. Mr. Ed Loman, the assis- tant coach, was with us, and he told Miguel that if he broke i8 minutes, he would buy Miguel a coke. Miguel broke their track record, broke his own record, and got a coke. In fact, Mr. Loman ended up buying Miguel a six-pac. Ross and Loman were very proud of their athletes. I felt the season was wonderful, Loman said. Ross, a first year coach, said, Our season went great for a first-year season. We had many strong individuals, and everybody im- proved.

The team ' s success began with its first game. Even though it was a scrimmage game, guard Kadette Patzer said, we played as though it was a cham- pionship game. After holding their opponent scoreless in the first half, the Cougars continued to dominate through the second. The team finished with a 28- I victory. ■ ' This was what gave us spirit, said Cougar center Becky Darby. It really made us feel that we could beat about anyone. After winning three of their first four encounters, the Cougars began to learn otherwise. The team lost six of its next seven games. The leading scorer for the season was Darby, who averaged 16 points per game. The leading rebounder was Nancy Nunez, who averaged ten re- bounds a game. I think that our practices helped us win most of our games, said Patzer. For our first year, I think that we really did well. After all, we had never played together before.

The team ' s most impressive win was against Palm Desert. The score was 47-20, and it was the team ' s high- est-scoring game. Led by Most Valuable Player Ni- cole Ladson and by Anita Dawson, the girls ended the season with nine wins and six losses, much better than most expected at the start. The team also won a consolation trophy during the Canyon Springs Tournament. I felt our season was great, start- er Gina Moss said. I was very proud of our season. When I first joined the team, I thought we were really going to be bad, but 1 was really surprised, Lad- son explained. I could tell that Coach Terri Evans knew a lot about basketball. She was a great coach. I felt the season was great, Mi- chelle Jones agreed. I feel great about our record. The Most Improved award was given to Nicole Dixon. Her fundamentals improved throughout the season, Evans ex- plained. If I never play again with Terri Evans as my coach, I wish her the best of luck, Ladson said. She treated us all the same, Erica Angle explained, even though I wasn ' t all that great. All in all, the girls said, the first Cougar girls ' frosh basketball season turned out to be successful after all. FRESHMAN GIRLS ' BASKETBALL, FRONT ROW: Manager Xalc-nc Saldona. Ni.olc Dunn.

The team went undefeated, with 1 6 wins and four ties. We did better than we expect- ed, said Chris Perea, who was the captain and goalie. Before the season began, the play- ers said, no one thought the team would go undefeated. I was pleasantly surprised, said Coach Mike Hughes, who had been coaching soccer 15 years. We probably would have lost, if we didn ' t have such a good goalkeep- er as Chris Perea, said Jeff Oliva, named one of the team ' s two aca- demic MVP ' s. Among those officially recognized was Pedro Morales, who was chosen Most Valuable Player. He scored 21 of the 77 goals scored by the team during the season. Mike Serrato had a productive sea- son, also, scoring 20 goals and taking the offensive MVP award. Kou Her, who said he played to relieve the pressures of life, was named the team ' s defensive MVP. Also winning awards were Des- mond Rebello, winner of the coaches ' award, and Gary Turpin, named an academic MVP. According to the coaches, team members had two reasons to be espe- cially proud of their undefeated sea- son: though a JV team, they played five varsity teams and won; in addi- tion, in all the games no one was ejected for any foulups or for dirty play. Coaching was great, Perea said. They taught us well and understood the team. We had a terrific season, Oliva added. ' «:• . - ' . :. . -..tc. A. ' BOYS- SOCCtR.

Although the team finished last in the Ivy League, with a record of one win and 17 losses, it managed to establish three firsts. The team ' s only win was against North High School, but that win also made history. When Lisette Acosta scored the winning goal, she made her team the first Canyon Springs team to win against a varsity opponent. I was very surprised about our record, Acosta said, but for a junior varsity team that played many varsity teams, we did pretty well. We worked hard and long, Ni- cole Nowacki explained. We came close on several occasions. In fact, the team came close seven times, each time losing by only one goal. Chosen the team ' s Most Valuable Player and the Most Valuable Player for Defense, Buffie Contreras was honored by being named All-Ivy League. It was a third first: she was the first from Canyon Springs to be honored as an all-league player. Buffie earned this, Coach Peg- gy Evans said, because she would never quit, and we could always count on her. Other awards went to Jennifer Landtiser, the team captain, and to Wendy Ruiz. Ruiz, whom the coach described as having great aggressive- ness, was named MVP for Offense. Our season could have been a little bit better, Lisa Turmon ad- mitted. We took a lot of sarcasm from the boys because of our losing streak, but still we all tried hard. We all had fun. GIRLS ' SOCCtR, FRONT ROW: P.iub Clrccn. Jen- R.ncc Slorcy .

Much of this was due to the three leading scorers: forward Anthony Walsh, who averaged 18 points, guard Rudy McGriff, who had a 16- points per game average, and the team ' s center, Jamey Lcmken. We felt in the summer that if we went 30-30 the first year, it would be a good year, coach Doug Stockham said. All of them exceeded my expec- tations. It was a total team effort. Team members were also pleased with the season. I feel as though we had the best season that a team could have, for- ward Daylind Ridgway said. We couldn ' t have done it without our head coach and assistant coaches Todd Dickenson and Gary BroUier. I think we accomplished a sense of teamwork, honor for our school, and pride in ourselves, guard Stacy Sampson said. We had our disagree- ments, but as soon as we stepped on the court, we were ready to play. The offensive MVP award was earned by Walsh; the defensive MVP title went to all-around athlete McGriff. Curtis Smith was named the team ' s scholar-athlete; he also won the coaches ' award. Lemken was chosen by coaches as the teams most improved player.

Much of the team ' s scoring was by the three leading scorers, forward Joey Dawley, who averaged 14 points, guard jamel Perrin, with a 12-point average, and the center, Anthony Warren, who scored an average of 1 1 points a game. I believed that we had a pretty good season this year, winning nine and losing three, guard Jamal Perrin said. I suppose that ' s pretty good, since we didn ' t have a tall team. Our coach Todd Dickenson was a good coach, because he worked us good in practice and got us into shape so we could be a running club. This past season was very excit- ing and fulfilling, guard forward Chris Groty said. We did very well for our first year of competition. When we were playing our best, we could probably beat anyone, but when we weren ' t we couldn ' t beat a fly. Even though we were smaller than most teams, our speed would help us win games. The team played with a lot of heart, and I felt overall we were a good team, guard Floyd Gaines said. We lost some games we should have won, but I felt good playing with the new team.

C onveying excitement skill of cheerleaders i SJ 7 f ff out to get a victory VV was one of the year ' s most popular cheers, according to the cheerleaders. The cheerleaders liked to think the cheer was appropriate: at least part of the athletic team ' s success was due to school spirit — and to cheering. Cheerleading is a very fun and active sport for me, said sophomore Sherie Dixon, a Cougar mascot. It took a lot of time and practice, but most of all a lot of energy. I believe that the pep rallies really got the stu- dents into school spirit. I hope that the students enjoyed watching us as much as we enjoyed doing it. According to Dixon, cheerleading involves a lot of responsibilities and requires more than just to be able to have fun. Being a mascot, she added, made her feel she was an important part of the cheerleading squad. I love cheerleading, she said, and I hope that a lot of people can experience it during their high school years. Cheerleading is a very exciting sport, Elizabeth Akins agreed. It ' s hard being the first cheerleaders of a new high school, but I enjoyed sup- porting our winning athletic teams.

Songleaders did dance routines to music played over the public address systems at pep rallies and sports events. I enjoyed being a songleader because I got to go to all the football and basketball games, said Mindy Reece. I got to cheer all our teams on to victory. I also met a lot of people, both at our school and at other schools we ' ve cheered at. We also went to the football, basket- ball and soccer banquets, to help set up and just to support our teams. Some songleaders enjoyed being on the squad because of the opportunities for self- espression that the dance routines provided. I feel I can express myself, said Kelli Harter, a JV songleader, while I have a lot of fun performing. Mrs. Sue Lacoste, squad sponsor, was pleased with the new group ' s progress mastering cheer and song routines and im- proving school spirit. I really think that the songleaders, for a first year team, really did a great job, she said. The girls really worked well together. SPIRIT SQUAD. FRONT ROW: Elizabeth Jones. Gwendolyn Goul.

The boys ' tennis coach, however, felt that, considering the inex- perience of the first year group, his team was quite successful. Coach Steve Lake, a teacher at Sunnymead School, said that the team had a frustrating start since the players were new to the sport, but as the season went on, thin gs got better. Each individual had to learn all the fundamentals, he ex- plained. Once this was achiev- ed, the season became much less frustrating. Player Kou Her had praise for Lake ' s help with the team. One thing I haven ' t forgot- ten was that he said we should not worry about winning, Her said. We just had to work on improving for next year. The teams first win was against Cajon High School. All seemed lost until the last match was captured by a doubles team, securing a one-point win. One reason the team began its season with a lot of skep- ticism, Lake said, was because most opponents were varsity teams. With experience behind them, however, the players looked toward improving the next year. Every player on the team improved tremendously in only three months, he said. They were showing a lot of effort. Although this was Canyon Springs ' first tennis team, they showed a lot of pride, not only for Canyon Springs, but for the teams they played. BOYS ' TENNIS.

One of my goals, Coach Craig Gesner explained, was to be close or surpass (score fewer than) 240 strokes. The seven member team scored 236 strokes when it secured the season ' s first victory against Bloomington High School. Golf team scores are determined by adding the five lowest scores from the six players on each team. When team scores are compared, the school with fewer strokes wins. Because of a lack of ex- perience among most of the players, Gesner said, the team had many losses early in the season. We were playing against more experienced teams, team member Clint Sanders said. Our toughest opponent was Elsinore, which scored 212 the first game and 202 the second. It was Gesner ' s first year coaching golf, but he had been playing for over 16 years. Team members found him very helpful, and he was well liked by those on the golf team. I really like Coach Gesner, team member Jeff Owens said, He really is a cool guy, and I look forward to next year. The team goal for the next year was to further cut down on the high number of strokes. Most team members expected to play; the team also planned to add some new players. I want to play next year, team member Rick Stuve said. I plan on practicing harder next year because I want to play again.

ENCOURAGING girls to do their best was a priority for the coach, Ms Kathy Ross. ard work, high spirit combine for success Ht- ' . ••T heyre young and inex- Jl perienced, said Mr. Frank Russell, the head coach of the first Canyon Springs track team. They have a lot of heart, and each and every one of them is a competitor. They don ' t like to lose. Though supposedly separate teams, the girls ' and boys ' track teams actually formed one unit. The two groups practiced together daily, and meets were usually held concurrently, with both groups participating. Russell had been a track coach for nine years before coming to Canyon Springs; seven of those years were spent in Yerba Buena in San Jose, and one was spent in Saudi Arabia. Though the regular season ' s meets were all invitationals, where not team scores were kept, and though no dual meets counted, runner Patti Cappuc- citti believed that the season in- troduced us to some really tough competition and a lot of good teams. Coach Russell pushes hard, Darren Fitzgerald said. I learn- ed a lot. Track team members agreed that the team worked extreme- ly hard, and most felt that the work paid off. The entire team stayed after school five days a week for two hours of practice. They did warmups and drills; then they separated into their in- dividual events. The team also practiced over spring break for two hours a day. Mr. Russell made us realize that we need to be determined, Jeremy Verrett said, both at the meets and in what we do, it helped us better ourselves. Hard work pays off, agreed Jackie Spade, a member of the girls ' track team. By the end of the season, many athletes could be seen displaying their medals. TRACK. (HONr HOW: Kdtjd Moev.cs.

The team finished with 202 points. The girls ' season started slow- ly, because the majority of girls had never run track. Although it was not destined to stay that way, the girls ' morale slumped early in the season. It was a lot of work trying to keep their spirits up, Russell said. They got down easily. As the season progressed though, things began to change. Both individual performances and team morale improved. I liked watching times im- prove, he said. The kids were becoming better athletes and doing things they never thought they could do. Spade was one of many girls who achieved their goals. Though her goal was to improve her running time, the goal for most was to win medals. The first medals were brought home by Anita Dawson, Nicole Dixon, Crystal Health, and Nikki Horton. Their performance at the Palm Springs Relays earn- ed them each a third place medal for the 440 meter relay. Two athletes won spots in the CIF Finals: Nikki Horton was to compete in the 100 and 200 meter dash, and Becky Darby qualified in the long jump.

Baseball is a great sport, and I ' ve came to enjoy it more through my membership on the team. Our best game was against Moreno Valley, Mr. Mike Mathwig, the team ' s coach and a former Los Angeles Dodger (see page 96), recalled. The score was 4-1. Everything seem- ed to fall into place; everybody was very heads up. By the numbers, the team had a successful season, win- ning 13 games and losing six. Team members, however, said there were some frustrating times, too. Losing some of their best players to the JV level was hard on the team. We played very well together, for a team that rarely knew who would be playing in the game. Chris Groty said. Most of the time we played well together as a team, Hastin agreed, but sometimes we didn ' t work well together. The most valuable player was Joseph Avillar. The many facets of his game helped us a lot, Mathwig said. He pitched, played infield, played outfield, and hit well. The Coach ' s Award was given to Hastin. He did the little things, Mathwig said. When I needed somebody, he was always there. He was really an all-around big help to me. The Most Improved Player award went to Ruben Romo. I thought at the beginning of the year we ' d have to cut him, Mathwig said. He improved 150% over the year and became one of our starting out- fielders. 9 ■■■ ' -■ C ' Q% fift. . FRESHMAN BASEBALL.

The season started off slow- ly, Mr. Jack Fogarty, the coach, said, but then we won three or four games by more than ten runs. According to Fogarty, the coach, said, but then we won three or four games by more than ten runs. According to Fogarty, the girls on the team worked hard, prac- ticed every day for about two hours, and played challenging games. Some found the schedule just too demanding. Many games were scheduled too close together, which caused met to miss quite a few afternoon classes, explained Wendy Hilbert, who left the team in midseason. I was just too ex- hausted to do homework. Because of academic pressures for personal reasons, several other girls were unable to finish out the season. The player shortage resulted in a great deal of movement by players between the JV and freshmean teams. The coaches juggled rosters on an almoast dai- ly basis, being careful to play all the scheduled games without putting any one player in too many of them. The team finished the season with six wins and ten losses. One of the wins was over Moreno Valley, by a 15-8 score. Pitcher Christine O ' Brien prais- ed the team ' s infield play. Fogarty said that much of the team ' s success was due to the strongest players, pitcher-3rd baseman Jennifer Landtiser, cat- cher Rita Perez, and short stop Sheryl Jenkins. ■«i«HHiHJrikSHlik .

Lady Cougar catcher Rita Perez handles a pop fly against Fontana. The season started slowly for the first freshman girls ' soft- ball team. Because few players were experienced, team members said, performances were poor, and morale at first was low. Let ' s face it, pitcher Christine O ' Brien said, we stunk in our first games. Few could blame her for feel- ing that way: the team lost a 37-0 decision to Glendora in its very first game. The first victory, over Elsinore, came in the team ' s sixth game. As the season continued though, and the girls practiced together, they improved their performances on the field and their team spirit. After many of the daily practices were over, a few of the girls stayed later to get in some extra practice. The freshman team was headed by coach Tim East. It was his first year coaching girls Softball, but he planned to coach the sport again. Softball had not been East ' s first choice for a coaching posi- tion. He had coached boys ' baseball before coming to Canyon Springs, and he had hoped for a coaching spot on a Canyon Springs baseball team. After learning that all the posi- tions were filled. East accepted a role as a softball coach. 1 had a lot of fun, East said, and I think the girls did, too. The team finished with a record of 8-10-1.

' W often-asked question Before there could be a Canyon Springs, there had to be a Canyon Springs staff. A few teach- ers transferred from Moreno Valley High School, but inost were the product of an aggressive, nation- wide recruiting effort. The first chosen were Principal Don Hagen, from La Canada, near Pasadena, and the school secretary, Mrs. Joan Bussey, already employed by the school district. Immediately after receiving permission, both of them made plans to participate in the district ' s re- cruiting trips to Nebraska, Michigan and Massa- chusetts, in March of 1986. The trips resulted in teachers coming to Canyon Springs from Nebraska and Michigan; no Massachusetts teachers were hired for Canyon Springs, but some went to other district schools. From interviews at Nebraska s Kearney State University Teachers ' Fair came Spanish Teacher Mrs. Judy Tetley, who had been teaching for 14 years, from high school Spanish to community col- lege subjects. I was impressed, she said, with Don Hagcn ' s ideas for Canyon Springs. In Flint, Michigan, Spanish teacher Rebecca Cuellar read about the opening in a newspaper ad- vertisement; she was interviewed at Eastern Michi- gan University. A graduate of The University of Michigan, she had worked with migrant children. Ray Acosta HiMd Custodian Brook L. Adams lustodhin Bev Allen M.Ed,, business; computer dub adviser Jim Anaya ,ust Jian Angie Armstrong M.S.; counselor Gary BroUier B,S.; science; assistani basketball coj.b Liz Busch B.A.; Knolish Canyon Springs was her first high school teaching assignment. Another of the teachers from out of state was Mr. Tim East, an industrial tech teacher. A gra- duate of Ball State University, he was in his first year as a teacher. He also was a coach for freshman Softball. Those and other teachers were the result of a search as selective as it was far-ranging. Typically, more than 200 teachers were interviewed at a single location; no more than 10 were usually offered posi- tions, including all levels within the district. Other teachers came from other districts within the region, like Mr. Jack Fogarty. A physical educa- tion teacher for 1 2 years, he also coached the Cougar junior varsity football team and the JV girls ' Softball team. As large as the 1 986 recruiting effort was, efforts for the 1987-88 school year had to be greater; the staff was expected to double, to handle the school ' s added grade and increased overall size. In April the school district sent Canyon Springs administrators and secretaries on other out-of-state recruiting trips, to Nebraska ' s Teachers ' Fair, to the MERC Confer- ence in Boston, to the Educators ' Job Fair at New Mexico State University, to the Teacher Education Fair at Howard University in the District of Colum- bia and to the University of Washington at Seattle. 92 Staff.

Mathwig, whose major league career spanned 1 1 years, played seven of those years with the Los . ' ngcles Dodgers. His career ended with the Mil- waukee Brewers, when he was released because of a serious knew injury. I don ' t regret what I got out of baseball, he said. I traveled all over the world and met many nice people, but I do miss the game a lot. Near the end of his career, he added, he found that the baseball lifestyle was getting tough. I wanted to spend more time with my family, Mathwig explained, and I was getting very tired of all the traveling. Although Principal Hagen ' s career wasn ' t as long as Mathwig ' s, he felt it was also rewarding. I really thought I would become a big league star, he recalled. Hagen was a starting pitcher for the Chicago White Sox for one year and for the St. Louis Cardi- nals for three years. His baseball career also ended abruptly, because of an arm injury. Many people who play professional sports don ' t have anything to fall back on after their ca- reers are over, related Hagen. I obtained my mas- ter ' s degree and was fortunate to be able to fall back on a career in education. Another reason I got out of baseball is because my wife wanted to settle down. It ' s hard to have a family and travel as much as a baseball player does. It ' s a pretty crazy lifestyle. According to Hagen, his biggest moments in baseball were his one-hitter against defending NCAA champ USC in 1963, while pitching for Occidental College, his perfect game against the University of Redlands, and playing in his first major league game. When I took the field in that first game I wanted to pinch myself, he recalled. It seemed like a dream, but as the game started, I lost the butter- flies and got down to business. I made up my mind when I was ten years old to become a success in baseball. I worked very hard to reach my goal, but I also made sure that I got my education, so I could have a career after baseball. Many players never plan for their futures after their baseball careers are over. Planning is the key for any young would-be ma- jor leaguer, he explained: They must make sure they have a good educa- tion. It is also very important that they take good care of themselves, physically and mentally. I would suggest that they learn all they can about the game and seek advice from experienced players.

No, it isn ' t the real thing. It ' s the work of a makeup-special effects artist, daytime custodian Brook Adams. What IS a makeup special effects artist? He is the one who makes movies like Friday the 1 3th seem real and makes characters like the wolfman come alive. That kind of work is what Adams does. He does makeup special effects and creates some me- chanical effects, such as moving body parts for props. He first became interested in makeup special ef- fects in his TV production class in high school. A group of his friends got together and needed a special effects man for their class project. He volun- teered to be that man, and he found he liked the challenges special effects presented. That started a hobby he hopes to someday make into a full-time career. He has not yet participated in a motion picture, but there is always the future. Does he think he will work someday in major motion pictures? Yes, he answered. Yes, I really do. I hope someday I ' ll have the opportunity to work with the professionals in Hollywood. He has made several i6-mm clips, including The Invocation, which will be appearing on cable television. It is a short clip in which Bloody Mary comes to life in front of three children. It ' s really gory, Adams said. Some people have seen some of his work already. For Halloween he did a display at Rancho Cinema for the movie Friday The 1 th-Part IV. He worked on the display with his friend and helper. Ken Banks. Ken Banks really helps me a lot, Adams said. Another friend and teacher was Rick Baker, who did all the make-up special effects for the movie An American Werewolf In London and for Michael Jackson ' s Thriller video. Through knowing Banks and Baker, Adams has had the opportunity to meet other Hollywood professionals. His experiences have included attend- ing a Hollywood special effects party. It was fun, he said. I got to meet a lot of people that do what I like to do. Adams really enjoys doing special effects as a hobby. He points out, though, that working in the trade is a harder activity than you may think. Most special effects men work 1 2 hour days, and the work IS very expensive. For example, to make a cast of someone ' s head could cost between 400 and ?6oo and take up to one full day. This makes it an expensive skill to learn, since Adams either gives away or sells most of his cre- ations. He really enjoys special effects as a hobby now and hopes, one day, to scare people for a living. Sue Lacoste S.; dance. phvSK.il education; pep squ.id adviser, assistant ath- letic direitor Dana T.

Knapp, who taught classes under the guidance of Canyon Springs teacher Mr. Frank Russell, had high praise for his peer. Mr. Russell is a terrific teacher, he said. He gave advice on everything from classroom behavior to organizational skills; he has helped me in many different ways. A belief in the importance of his subject led Knapp to choose the social sciences. Political Science is my big favorite, stated Knapp. I really want the students of today to understand that they are the leaders of tomorrow, and what a big responsibility that is.

The program was started by the Attendance Review Committee. Each sweep day, Mr. Jon Gaffney, assistant principal, worked with the campus supervi- sors to gather all students who were not in their classes or did not have passes. Gaffney took them to a spjecific area, either the cafeteria or the lunch tables. There, the students were re- quired to write one-page essays on why it was important to be on time. The students stayed in the area the entire class period and were marked tardy from classes. Students who were tardy a sec- ond time had to write a second essay.

All students were aware that sweeps could occur at any time, and they hustled to class as thc should, Gaffney said. The first sweep netted 45 students, with averages that day of 20 out of class per period. Later sweeps averaged between three and ten tardies per period. The intent of the program was not to punish or ' bust ' kids, Gaff- ney added. It was intended to get students to be aware of basic re- sponsibilities that will follow them through life.

It was fun, said cheerleader Traci Kugelmann, and one of the neatest things I have ever seen. Like most of the audience, the Cougar group had its favorites. One of the most popular groups at the event was the male cheer- leaders from the University of Massachusetts, which won the competition.

In that way, at least, the sale lived up to expectations. Though most freshmen slaves were not em- barrassed by the proceedings, sev- eral sophomores were.

The reason I ran for council, Sophomore Class Secretary Buffie Contreras said, was to get more involved with what happens at our school and to meet more new peo- ple. According to the class vice president, Wendy Hilbert, the Class of 1989 contributed many new and successful ideas to the school. We set our goals, and then we accomplished them, Hilbert said. One of the ideas was for the winning Homecoming Float. Also, the council sold message grams for Christmas and Valentines Day. The group organized several dances, including the Christmas ctive students lead CS sophs Snowball Dance and a St. Patrick ' s Day Dance. Council members were also in- volved in such other extracurricu- lar activities as sports, clubs and band. Both class advisers, Mrs. Rebec- ca Cuellar and Mrs. Lynn Kollar, came from the same state, Michi- gan. Both were enthusiastic, and both planned to stay with the Class of 1989 until its graduation. I want to watch sophomores grow, Cuellar said, into success- ful Canyon Springs graduates. Sophomore leaders were proud to set the traditions to be followed at Canyon Springs in the years to come.

They had more experience in high school. We ' re the best, sophomore Jeff Oliva said, and we get to set the traditions at Canyon Springs. According to Nanci Brown, sophomores had an unusual op- portunity to rule, because the school consisted of only freshmen and sophomores. The next school year, 1987-88, the Class of ' 89 was to become the ranking juniors. Fi- tially, the year after that, sopho- mores would be seniors — making three years spent at the top of the Canyon Springs heap.

Although the assembly at which the group performed was not religious in nature, the band stressed many important themes that anyone can relate to, ac- cording to Phillips. Band members shared personal experiences be- tween songs, and through expres- sive lyrics the group conveyed its views about common teen prob- lems; eating disorders, alcohol, drugs and peer pressure. For one day, the Convertibles recaptured the fascination of the ' 50s at Canyon Springs — a school that was definitely of the ' 80s. 18 SopI- WQ 0S Cindy Oldenburg Jeff Oliva Francis Orozco Luanne Palmatier Carl Panaguiton Jodie Parra Angela Patterson Kadettc Patzer Steven Patzer Pam Pauius Ralpli Payne Ayano Pearson Jonathan Pecson Monica Pendergraft Chris Perea Grace Perez Rita Perez Jamel Perrin John Plaxco Tim Podell Traci Poperszky Pojanc Praicharnchit Todd Prysock Isabel Puentes Manuel Puentes Kristi Querns Scan Rafferty James Ramsey Beth Rardin Desmond Rebello Tracy Reed Mindy Reese Rick Regan Paul Rempa Selena Robinson Caesar Robles Ramona Rodriguez Sidney Rodriguez Teresa Rodriguez Nathen Rigers Yvonne Romero Jessica Ruiz Pete Ruppert Joey Salazar Lamie Santa Cruz Lanel Santa Cruz Michelle Santa Cruz Lee Myrh Saria Blair Scott Jim Sevaly Darrell Shubbie Shyloh Sikoff Amlorn Siratana Natalie Skvorzov Ron Slater -Slater, Sophomores 1 19 Eric Slaughter Curtis Smith Elizabeth Smith Nikki Smith Richard Smith Robert Smith Robert Smith Carla Sohz Vichien Sornchan Jackie Spade Tyshana Spears Kari Spoelstra Kristin Squillace Charlene Stafford Mike Stauffer Eric Stemmerman Jeff Stephens Marie Stevens Traci Stockham Todd Stokes Alexandria Strickland Kraig Strom Jennifer Sturla Rick Stuve Gedsala Sullivan Jennifer Talley Marissa Tapia Janene Thomas Michelle Thompson Kiang Thongvilay David Thornton Tiffany Tighc Gary Trapp L ' ' 4 --.■■ p V rW Shannon Trees sl Michelle Trimble t - mrh Mark Trujillo Lisa Turman mt Mike Underwood iwlP%v Robert Underwood jpnn 1 Sophorr Slaughlc, For some students, the fresh- man and sophomore years were not too early to start looking to the future.

A. COMMUNITr ' Moreno Valley ce air force connection The March Air Force Base Air Show took place Saturday, Nov. I ' j, 1986; the annual event was designed to teach the people of Moreno Valley about the purpose and value of the base within their community. The display that captured the most attention and applause was a 30-min- ute performance by the U.S. Air Force ' s flying team, the Thunder- birds. The team travels from its home base in Arizona to shows all over the country. The show consisted of more than the Thunderbirds. Attractions at the six-hour show included the stationary museum planes, skydivers and attack dog demonstrations. Student reactions were mostly posi- tive. I thought the Thunderbirds were great, Patience Harper said. I loved their stunts. Melanie Hiedlers favorite was also STUDENT MeU show. Hiedler enjoys the the Thunderbirds: I could have watched all day. Through the efforts of the River- side community 69 years before, Ales- sandro Aviation Field had been estab- lished as part of the War Depart- ment ' s national buildup of aviation training facilities. The field was later renamed March Field, in honor of Lt. Peyton C. March, who died in an aircraft accident that year, 1916. Through the years March AFB played a vital role in building and maintaining strong aviation support. Stationed at the base in 1987 were 3, 6 active duty service men, 1,039 air national guardsmen, 73 civilians and ' 5, 1 47 dependents. The total base population was 1 3,020 people. Moreno Valley school district in- cluded 1,179 military dependants in 1986-87; though how many attended Canyon Springs was not known, 779 students lived on base. 4 THE THUNDERBIRDS go four.pUnc dumonJ formation 124 March Air Forte Base JL PRIME TICKET: The crew gets a good se.« for the show on top of their hehiopter. r CLOSER LOOK: Visitors mill into the open KC-IO to get a glance at the interior.

Just what ' s happening in Moreno Valley? There were mixed feelings about the many lifestyles available in Mor- eno Valley. Sabrina Kelikoa, a freshman at Canyon Springs, said of her home on Yucca Drive, It ' s fun, because it ' s big, and I have a lot of brothers and sisters. It gives us enough room. Kelikoa ' s satisfactions seemed to have been rare among students. My apartment is too small, said Monica Jones of the Postal Apart- ment complex. Angela Hurt described the homes m Arnold Heights, the military hous- ing development: They ' re ok, she said, but they ' re too small. At least they ' re earthquake proof. They ' ve been here at least 40 years. The larger the population of an area, the smaller the houses seemed to be. Building small saved money and land that could be used for more houses, thus turning a larger profit for the developer. As Moreno Valley grew, rural homes on large lots gave way to smaller houses and lots. Angela Burrows, however, liked Moreno Valley because everything is just starting up. It ' s not often that you get to see a new town start. mmo 1 ONE OF THE LARGEST departmcn Morrs in Tvlcr Mall, tlic Broadway boasts , largp number of student consumers.

The project would increase and 79.000 in 1987, was expected to reach 214,000 by the year 2010, ac- cording to figures from the Press-En- terprise. Moreno Valley developed rapidly, with the opening in 1986 of several new shopping centers, fast food out- lets and a Target department store. Commercial services, however, never quite kept up with housing, as new housing tracts kept appearing, hous- ing in areas such as Sunnymead Ranch, where once there were fields of wild grass and waist-high weeds. Yeah, ' 86 was a good year for Moreno Valley, since we got a Target, two Taco Bells and an In Out Burg- ers, Bill Song said. With more people constantly com- ing into the community, the district had to work to prevent overcrowding. commercial and industrial develop- ment for the city, most of whose resi- dents commuted to Orange and Los Angeles counties. Town Gate, a major shopping mall and mixed-use develop- ment, was to replace Riverside Raceway. Moreno Valley Ranch, a de- velopment of almost 4,000 acres, was approved for the area south of Ales- sandro and east of Perris. I would think that it would bring some good to the city, or at least I would hope so, said long-term resi- dent Natalie Barnett, a teacher at Sunnymead Annex. Other needed improvements were achieved or planned, including the opening of a new library building and the construction of a new shopping center and 7-Plex cinema.

You ' re a Good Man, Charlie Brown was performed two weekends. March 20. 21, and 27, 28. Mr. Ken Flores, drama and music teacher, di- rected the school ' s first musical. The drama class had also presented a Christmas production, as well as a one-act play at Moreno Valley High School. The one-act play was called To Burn a Witch. According to Flores, rehearsing for the musical was an interesting exper- ience. There was a lot more noise than there was supposed to be, he said, because of other activities that were going on. Trymg out for the part of Wood- stock was difficult, said Teri Maci- boba, because other people wanted the part as well as I did. You had to WM B B Bi H ' ' ' 1 . i f H H try your best in acting out the part, and you had to look the part. Hard work, concentration and a little fun on the side did wonders for the drama class in our production, Maciboba added. The play was excit- ing, and we found the cast worked really well together. Dedication was the main ingredi- ent in organizing the musical. Not only did actors have to memorize their lines, but on opening night the hard part was remembering them without being nervous. The acting parts brought out qualities in myself that I didn ' t know I actually had. said Katie Walsh. Any kind of acting is interesting to me, because I think of the character as a special challenge.

It was the day that decided whether those groups could continue their seasons. It was the Can- yon Springs High School Jog-A- Thon. The idea was for participating stu- dents and staff to get as many spon- sors as they could and jog or walk ten laps around the school track. Sponsors paid per lap or made a lump sum pledge. For some participants, it was a chance to run two and a half miles to stay in shape. For others, it was a chance to talk with their friends, listen to music and just have fun. Yeah, I had a blast, said student body president Michelle Missildine, and I think everyone else did. too. Before the ]og-A-Thon took place, the school did not have the money needed to finance spring sports and other activities. Starting school activi- ties costs money; uniforms, buses, equipment and the restoration and maintenance of the fields all cost mon- ey. That was where the jog-A-Thon came in. There was really a good turnout for the Jog-A-Thon, Missildine said. It would ' ve been better, though, if everyone had participated. Those who did not participate spent the hour of released time in the cafeteria or gym. Many people ran the full ten laps around the track, including Mr. Jon Gaffney, assistant principal, who fin- ished second only to Daylind Ridgeway, and Principal Don Hagen. Several members of the cross countr and track teams ran, also, and many of the unknown runners at Canyon Springs gave it their best. I ran it in about ... twenty-one minutes, said teacher Jack Cassette. Overall, Missildine said, the first Canyon Springs High School Jog-A- Thon was a success. Enough money was raised to continue spring sports programs and other Canyon Springs activities.

School environment pleases new administrators Formerly a teacher at Moreno Val- ley High School, Mr. jon Gaffney decided to transfer to Canyon Springs and become the school ' s first assistant principal. At Moreno Valley he had taught reading and coached the track team. In a way, Gaffney explained, he found less power as an assistant princi- pal: much of his work consisted of reacting to situations. As a teacher at Moreno Valley High School, I made my own environ- ment, he said, but as a vice princi- pal, the environment affects you. I think that the students here are really great, he added. They have a lot of spirit and school pride. Because the teachers are from different states, they have a lot of different exper- iences. They ' re the greatest staff that I ' ve ever worked with. Leaving his position as an assistant principal at Perris High School, Mr. Ralph Edwards came to Canyon Springs in mid-year to become the school ' s first dean of students. He found the Canyon Springs campus a pleasant place. Coming here is like going to Dis- neyland, Edwards said. The stu- dents are really enjoyable to be around. I think that we have started off with a really great attitude about the school. .V HOME CALL: Mr. Ralph fcdw,,r with J parent about a student disciptir Assistant Administrators A IN THE SPIRIT: Mb.

Mrs. Caria Smith, who was born in Palos Verdes, California, was also a senior at San Bernardino State Col- lege. She was studying to be a multiple subject teacher. I love to work with high school students. she said. Working at Canyon Springs dur- ing the day, she went to school during the evening. On weekends she worked at a restaurant, the Red Onion. I don ' t have time for many pas- times, she said, but when I do, I am a beach bum. Mrs. Rhonda Wright was born at Norton Air Force Base in Highland, California. Before coming to Canyon Springs, she worked at Moreno Val- ley High School; she ' s glad, she said, to be working instead at Canyon Springs. I see a lot of pride. she said, spirit and support. Like Smith, she planned a career in education. She was working toward a degree in counseling. Mr. Mike Mathwig, a freshman football and baseball coach as well as a campus supervisor, was studying to be a physical education or English teach- er at the University of California at Riverside. I hope to teach at Canyon Springs in the future, he said. Mrs. Mary Durco was born in Ohio. Formerly a manager for Mont- gomery Wards, she did not wish to continue education; she looked for- ward instead to retirement and to do- ing a lot of traveling. I like the kids here, she said. Most of them are great. Most students liked the campus su- pervisors, too. All the supervisors treat you like adults, sophomore Nyna Bardo said. They are always there when we need them, sophomore Michele Singer said. They give us helpful ad- vice for all of our problems. Freshman Stacy Catron summa- rized many students ' attitudes; We hope to see them at our new- campus next year. DESPITE GATHERING LITTER v.in(ijls.

In fact, she was in shock, ' said songleader Kelli Harter. Donna Galich and Tracy Reed, along with Hagen, planned the show- er, with its decorations, cake, punch and gifts, for the new baby girl, ex- pected in June.

Although Canyon Springs was in Its first year, it was no exception. Students crowded around the Jostens sales repre- sentative Feb. 12, Ring Order Day. These were to be no ordinary rings. They were to be the first ever Canyon Springs class rings. I got mine because it was the very first one. said Tom May. Most students thought of rings as just a tradi- tion, but they were more than that. All rings were custom ordered and could be specially designed to fit the lifestyles of their owners. Some students had their rings monogrammed, while others had their graduating years put on. Still others embossed their ring with symbols of their school sports. Only sophomores were allowed to order rings, but many freshmen were also interested. I wanted to buy my ring this year because it was the very first one, said Teri Maciboba, but I ' ll just have to wait. I think they should have made an exception just this year, so that the freshmen could get the very first ones, too. Of course, not all students were in a hurry to buy their rings. In fact, some were in no rush at all. Kadette Patzer had other plans. Fm waiting until my senior year, she said. I want to see what things I ' m participating in. One thing, however, is certain. Cougar rings were designed to be symbols of school pride for many years to come. THE FINAL PRODUCT seemed to be worth the wait, as THE FIRST step was the hardest. With so many styles to PATIENCE WAS THE KEY m ordering rings. Long hnes many sophomores proudly, but casuallv, displayed their newly choose from, and with rings costing from igi to tz-jo. the and limited order time created tonfusion. Rings could be ordered acquired possessions decision was difficult- onlv during the morning break and at lunch Class Rings.

Honor students are special people. They are de- termined to do their best in school, whether because they believe some year all their work will pay off in a successful job, whether they work for praise each quarter, or whether they simply enjoy each day spent learning. I think it is very important to recognize stu- dents who perform at a high level in any endeavor, said Mr. Jon Gaffney. assistant principal. Howev- er, It IS especially important to applaud those who achieve in the classroom. The honor roll was one way to recognize such students, but it was not the only way. A new honor assembly program began in the second quarter. Stu- dents were named by the school ' s various depart- ments to receive special certificates, presented at afternoon award ceremonies. The award ceremonies were held after school so that parents and students could receive recognition together. I am very proud of honor students and the program they receive at Canyon Springs High, Mr. Don Hagen, principal, told the first group. That kind of effort and dedication to excellence is what education is all about. FRENCH HONOREE Audra Wcnko rcfcivcd licr tcrt.fi- .atc from Mrs. Sirah X ' ct.laufcr THE FIRST HONOR GROUP included.

Ads, Award Progr; Valley gets sudden snow According to the Press-Enterprise, it was the coldest spell in eight years, as an arctic air mass made its way down the coast. The cold air brought Mor- eno Valley a rare snowfall. I love the snow, I thought it was great, Beth Rardin said. I lived in Hawaii before I moved out here, so I ' ve never been in snow before. On the other hand, many other students, like Stephanie Bornstein. did not appreciate the unusual event. I thought it was too cold for California, she said. If I wanted snow, I ' d stay in Maine. She had lived in Maine all her life, until moving to California in January of 1987. The snow was hardly up to Maine standards. The few flakes that reached the ground in the valley itself immediately melted, though some residents in the foothills found snow on their lawns in the morn- ing. It was enough, however, to excite many native Californians and mystify many Easterners. I loved it, Kristi Querns said. I even went outside to take pictures of it. I loved it, Andrea Lopez agreed. I ' ve lived in southern California all my life, so I rarely get to be in snow — me and my friend went outside and got in a snowball fight. Coming from the East, I had seen snow, Larry Conway said. It was very strange to see the people here that excited about snow. UNUSU.

Aides typically ran errands and did some computer work; office aides picked up atten- dance forms and helped in other ways. They often had more leisure time than students did in regular classes. There were no special require- ments to become a teacher or office aide, but aides had to be willing to work independently. It is a great experience to work in the office, said Heather Hill, office aide. I mostly print out grades and program disks, and I help out anyone who is in need. Having a person to help you with those many tasks a teacher has to perform was convenient, not only for the teacher, but also for the student. While the students were helping the teachers or workmg in the office, they were actually receiv- ing work experience for future jobs. In addition, one year ' s general academic credit could be earned by working as an aide. It is interesting and enjoyable to work in the office as an aide, Angela Burrows said. It ' s less pressure on myself, and you are able to work with the computers — but filing is the worst!

Teacher Aide: Fewer books or more space Lockers were a major concern of the staff and students. During the year students suffered over- crowded lockers, thefts and water damage. During the school site ' s years as a middle school, the lockers had not been used. Students needed room, however, to store the greater number of large books needed for high school courses. There were not enough lockers available to provide a locker to every student — or even every two. The lockers themselves were small, and, with so many students sharing lockers, the locker areas were extremely crowded. This sometimes made it hard to get to class on time, and it resulted in some bent or torn note- books. There is not enough room in my locker for more than one person, Cindi Weymouth said. Ram also created problems. Damaged books piled up m the office after several major rainstorms. Those books were replaced by the school, and stu- dents were not charged — but only if the students had stored them in the correct lockers, the lockers originally assigned to them. Books that were da- maged in unauthorized lockers had to be paid for by the students. Even without the crowding and leaks, the age of the lockers created problems. The insides of the lockers are disgusting, and my books get dirty, Kristi Querns complained. The lockers are old and used, Mrs. Dana Lent, secretary, conceded, but we didn ' t expect so many problems. Next year we are planning to have enough lockers for everyone to have his own. The new lockers are inside the building, so there won ' t be any damage when it rains. CKOWDtD LOCKERS: GO Lit..

As the year progressed, students saw the rewards when you open a school with care. The student life program that caught fire with Homecoming stayed busy throughout the year, including plans for a formal spring dance. Can- yon Springs ' life was not only busy but, according to Michelle Missildine, stu- dent body president, we had fun. Canyon Springs ' academics also made rapid progress. I think we had a very good aca- demic program. We had a lot of vari- ety in classes, Mrs. Angle Arm- strong, tenth grade counselor, stated. One achievement was that the per- centage of freshmen who received F ' s was lower than it had been for the pre- vious three years. The number of stu- dents with 4.0 grade averages was also very good. Also the percentage of stu- dents who kept their eligibility for ex- tracurricular activities was high. Clubs remained active throughout the year. The music and drama clubs presented The Magic Christmas Tree and You ' re A Good Man, Charlie Brown. Other groups took field trips, including the cheerleaders and those in science, drama, art, jour- nalism and math. According to Mrs. Debra Yukto, the math club adviser, the clubs set traditions and got a lot of students in- volved in activities. Football, soccer, boys ' basketball and cross country made enthusiasm high as spring sports began. JV boys ' basketball and soccer had both gone undefeated. The program was phenomenal for a first year school. said Doug Stock- ham, JV basketball coach.
