He's not only a po- lice officer, Mr. Sikes contributes to a number of important things. He works for the San Diego Police TasK Force. Occa- sionally, he counsels students, does pre- sentations, and gives legal advice to stu- dents. Mr. Sikes has three college stu- dents who help him patrol the campus. They scout around the faculty parking lot and also keep on eye on campus life. Mr. Sikes is best known by those students who spend more time out of class than in. During the year, Mr. Sikes was involved in stopping truancies and fights. He also talked with students who think of him as the bad guy. “We aren't bad guys, we are here to nelp and protect. My goal is to change people from a negative to a posi- tive way of behaving, expressed Mr. Sikes. Mr. Sikes has a bachelor degree in crimi- nal justice. His first thought was to be- come a lawyer for criminal cases but ex- plained, “I couldn't do what they do and sleep at night . Mr. Sikes was talked into joining the S.D.P.D. by a friend in college. He attended Miramar college for four months and then spent the next three months with a training officer. When asked what his first solo night was like, he stated, scary. Mr. Sikes has never shot anyone but when asked if his gun was loaded? He replied, Since I'm not a quarterback, if I threw my gun, I wouldn't hit them so, I put bullets in my gun. r w 1 % Monica Olvera Raymond Osuna Garrick Oyama Anthony Padua Diontsia Pappa» Sang Park Yong Park Keg Parker Ernest Parks Jose Parral Kevin Panin Amber Paschal 175

FEEStIMEN HUES Both excitement and confusion play ma- jor roles in the life of a freshmen. The confusion of trying to find their way around campus as well as watching their backs for tnose obnoxious senior and coping with new responsibilities and new “freedoms . These are just a few exper- iences every freshman faces. When some of the 87-88 freshmen were asked, “How do you like your first year of high school? “ There were various answers: It's pretty boring but an okay school. Leona Totten It's okay but not what I expected. Marla Manasan I don't like it cause the teachers hate me. Chris Dollar It's the same as last year, I like the peo- ple. Taneashia Morrell Freshmen have a bad position in high school. They take more criticism than any other class on campus, and traditionally, the freshmen are to blame for any errors or mistakes made by any other class. Just to add to their blues, they are the only class that's not allowed to leave campus at lunch. When asked how they felt about not having an open campus, most fresh- men responded optimistically: 'If we are old enough to be in high school we're old enough to leave campus. Dana Hicks “They try to teach us responsibility, why not let us go off campus to give us a sense of responsibility. Ben Crandall I don't think it's rieht so I go off campus anyway.
