New Path For Serra Students Among the many new aspects of Serra High as a community school was that of being able to walk to and from school. This was a big change, as all students attending Serra were previously bused to different school locations throughout the city. Being close to a school they could call their own, students could walk back to school for athletic practices and events, projects, club meetings, and dances. Crowds of students on the sidewalks, especial- ly before and after school, are now common sights. This adds to the feeling of a community-type situa- tion. The biggest crowds were the seventh and eighth-grade students, who covered the street cor- ners and sidewalks in masses as they returned home honischool .Skateboards and bicycles were popular altema- tives to walking for the junior-high students, as were cars for many senior-high students. An added benefit was the short distance to local shopping centers so that lunch periods found students leav- ing campus for a greater variety of fast-food stands andsnackfoods i.l,ii..iil.liiQ..if.l,..i.i.lLlLif.Qi,l,L'ii llllill i .

The contestants brought pictures of their legs to school. The event was quite popular with the girls, they were often caught glancing and peeking at the pictures. One of the major highlights of the week were the tricycle races. The race enthusiasts came equiped with their crash helmets and steel nerves to compete in the race, in which all class- es participated. To start promoting newcoming day a pep rally was held.
