Encompassing a world Of Friendship Some students had planned it, most anticipated for it and others had never been involved in it, but all knew of the week to come. Homecoming Week had arrived centered around the celebration of world friendship. From Aloha Day, which saw plastic leis handed out before school to Jambo Day which students celebrated by ador- ning safari apparel and Banana Republic t-shirts, countries from Europe to Africa were used to fit the themes of each day. The days incorporated different coun- tries and languages so as to be world en- compassing, said Activities Director Sherri Phelps . Days like ' Mardi Gras (Day) ' express love and a time where pro- blems are forgotten. The amphitheater, where a majority of the activities were held during lunch in- cluded class competitions, D.J. entertain- ment and plenty of food and dancing. Viva Vaquero Day, the last day of the week and the same day as the Homecom- ing football game saw students from each class help in the tradition of decorating the buildings. Even a red carpet (really red butcher paper) was laid throughout the Humanities building for all the seniors to sign. Homecoming Week highlighted the celebration of friendship BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT — by Min Kim 1 QUARTERS ; Mardi Gras activities include Freshman Steve Itzkowitz, Sophomore Susan Am- briz.

New Building adds to character Making its debut atop the hill on the corner of Walnut and Escolar, the newly constructed math building greeted the students at the start of the year with con- temporary changes. The alterations made on the campus during the summer months proved to enhance the already existing facilities, and also improved and upgraded some of the old. The science building showed such changes, having been refurbished with complete internal remodeling. The cost of the new building was about 1.8 million dollars. It was funded by the state ' s New Building Fund. The main concern we had was that the building be functional, said Principal Gary Norton . I think the staff is very pleased with how everything worked out. Students reacted to the changes with some initial confusion and disorientation, but as the year went on, the acceptance of the change became second nature. With the growth of the school and the campus expansion, the new building and the remodeled science building served as symbols of the school ' s development of character and identity. The casual and familiar atmosphere that prevailed despite the modifications made on cam- pus showed that growth and school pride continued to flourish through the students and faculty BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT — by Rosemarie Rigor Scott Solbeig BLUE AND GREEN PRIDE, VAQUERO STYLE: In the midst of it all, the new building radiates with the school spirit taken from the blueness of the sky and the greenery of the grass. TAKING TIME OUT: Exchanging some thoughts on their free time, seniors Alonzo Whitson and Heidi Shwarz find the perfect place for small talk on a bench outside the Math building. Opening 5
