It the writers of Trivial Pursuit ever need one extra question for their cards of knowl- edge, they can always stump em with this one: What well- known forms of recreation are totally inaccessible to the Dana Hill student body? With a little word-of-mouth gossip, or maybe with a visit to the campus for some research, you will inevitably convince yourself that the answer is None. One thing that makes Dana Hills students special is that, given their free time, they can surf or sail, motorcy- cle or bike, ski or skate, or just enjoy the beach. Some join recreational clubs; some orga- n i 2 e them. Most lis- ten to mu- sic; some make their own. One thing is cer- tain; they can only be bored by choice, not by chance. Now, if ever asked this question, smile confidently and chuckle lightly to yourself. Then, with a gleam in your eye, state the sweet and simple facts, just as you heard here. Just be alert for trick answers (sumo wrestling, crocodile hunting, and the like). -e.y. One of Press Maycock ' s favorite breaks is the left at Gravels. ► I Pat O ' Neill, Kelli Lewis, and Danny Carratturo lean into a curve while training for the Tecate-to-Ensenada Road Race. k Senior Jerry Jahn does a perfect table top.

There are few schools around that can match the depth of the Dana Hills academic program. With over 100 teachers, . huge two-story building, close to two dozen out- side portables, and a healthy dose of enthusiasm, Dana Hills High School annually graduates over five hundred people who have learned enough to go out and tackle the world. Several alternative programs make Dana Hills accessible to all, in- cluding Crossroads, R.O.P., E.S.L., and Special Education, the learning program for the severely handicapped which moved onto campus this year. Most students leave Dana Hills with valuable knowledge of how to compete. The athletic de- partment offers over founeen sports, creating a multitude of opportunities for Dana Hills kids to test themselves in active, physical competition. Academic strength is tested as well, both county and district-wide, with Academic Decathlon, Kiwanis Bowl, the Spelling Bee, Country and Math Competition. Even though many Dana Hills students end up missing out on the educational and competitive activities at Dana Hills, absolutely nobody misses out on the exciting experience of ex- ploring new and fulfilling friend- ,4 : ' , ships, some of which last for a ' S ' lifetime. Dana Hills seems to i - ' : ' :. be built for friendships; there is an open mall in which to so- cialize whenever, but also plenty of nooks and crannies where one can spend many an intimate moment with his sweet- heart. Unfortunately, not everything learned at Dana Hills is positive. Drug abuse remained a big issue in ' 87, with a Just Say No attitude spreading waves of awareness throughout both the school and the world. In October, ASU staged Just Say No to Drugs Week, a break in the tradition of general indifference. -e.y. % A San Clemente student learns from R.O.P graphics students Tom Campbell and Susanne Hallowell.
