Kou ' re a twenty-minute drive from the hottest beaches of Southern California. A two hour drive up Highway 38 to the Big Bear exit on a cool day in January finds you racing down slopes second only to Aspen. You ' re just minutes away from a historical mission and a beautiful man-made lake, and you ' re smack in the middle of one of the fastest growing communities around. Where could you be? At Mickey ' s Birthday Party? NAH! You ' re in Mission Viejo, which Capo Valley proudly calls home. Indeed the community surround- ing Capo offers attractions for all. Cruise down PCH and you could be sailing at Dana Point Harbor. Drive up the 405 and you find South Coast Plaza, where the credit card reigns. Hang a left off the Golden State Freeway at Katella and you could be spending the day at the magical world of Disney. There ' s so much available — there shouldn ' t be com- plaints that there ' s nothing to do in Mission Viejo! At Capo itself the environment ranges from AP classes to remedial programs, from stuffy portables to brand new classrooms, from an award-winning student newspaper to a CIF-caliber water polo team, and from a Rams ' cheerleader as the dance instructor to a World War II veteran as the US History expert. In a sense Capo Valley is a piece of Mission Viejo, representing differ- ent interests and strengths, offering a variety of opportunities to all. A MISSION SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, a his- torical landmark in Southern California, is a popular attraction for tourists, and a pleasant sight for residents and passers-by.
