Dana Hills High School - Mast Yearbook (Dana Point, CA)

Page 26 text:

Dana Hills is not only different, but (based on k the evidence in the preceding ij pages) exceptional. One of the things that makes it exceptional is i;s open campus policy. The an of lunchtime around this school is extraordinary. At 11:47, literally hundreds of students (give or take a dozen) launch into a 35-minute frenzy , during which they explode upon the Dana ; Point scene in overloaded cars. The burnine ; thought on everyone ' s minds: I hope my 5th period teacher doesn ' t mark me tardy. Oh sure, class time at Dana occasionally drags, but where else are students periodi- cally saved by literally being left in the dark When an infamous blackout strikes, the vol- ,: ume of cheering from classrooms ; echoes through the mall. i; (Those in the unlucky class- i rooms, though, the ones : with skylights or windows, t have to continue working. Oh I well.) I What else is exceptional. ' Let ' s not forget ;■ those exceptional athletes and performers. ' : Whether found in the gym, in the dance • room, on the track, or on the stage, the spirit j which student performers exude cannot be [ found anywhere else (unless you happen to I stumble upon a Dana Hills pep squad prac- ? tice). ( ? Exceptional performances shook the campus •this year with the return of cross country and tennis to the South Coast League throne, along with the continued excellence of the performing arts. (Dana Hills is indeed exceptional, and that ' s t why the school has made, and will continue vto make, a difference in the lives of all who sgo there. f -e.y. k.e. I.
