La Quinta High School . . . the place where 1600 students and 80 faculty and staff members attend ap- proximately six 55-minute periods, 180 days out of the year. Here we have laughed and struggled together trying to make the best of it. Joining activities, clubs and sports, and participating in events can add a lot to any repetitious schedule. Par- ticipating with friends . . . now. that ' s a different story! Certainly, activities relieve stress, break monotony, and provide a true sense of accomplish- ment, but getting involved in schc activities with friends is a lot mc exciting! When friends get togeth( they usually aren ' t as embarrassi to be themselves. Nothing seems hold them back. Showing their tri colors, getting wild and crazy, simp being themselves can add enthu asm, excitement and vigor to a. event. There is no doubt that frienc the very same people with whom yi fight and argue, help make schc activities more exciting and wort while.
