Remember how we always complained to the teachers about how much much homework we had in other classes? TOO BAD. But then nothing stood in the way of Cosby night. Yeah, yeah. You know, our class has had its share of unusual experiences. I thought I was gonna be totally exhausted when they gave the school day an extra 33 minutes during our sophomore year. There went an extra 33 minutes down the tubes for the soaps, the beach, enjoying myself, etc. Uugh. Then remember that tree that got chopped down — for the longest time, there seemed to be this big empty space. You know, we never did win first place for our litters. Yeah, Yeah, the sophomores this year paid and bribed the judges to vote for them. Yeah, yeah, at least we did our own work without our parents. Yeah, yeah, that ' s the ticket. The thing that was always pretty amusing were all the different cliques on campus that thought they were so cool: the surfers — Hey dude, surf ' s real rad at Newport today! : the punkers — That Specimen concert was the best, man! : the jocks — We ' re awesome, dude! : the Soc ' s — Like Betsy, are you going to the party, like tonight, like at Jeff ' s house, like it ' s real happenin ' , you know! : the cheerleaders — My hair! My hair! My hair! : and the academics — x is an indirect variable to y divided by the subtotal of the speed of light , , And then normal people just sat there and watched all these wierd guys! Ha Ha! Remember all those fads? Like NEON?! Everyone had to wear it when it was the IN thing, and they glowed in the dark! Yeah, right. Everybody thought Madonna was so HOT. You had every girl at school trying to look a little bit like her with the bleached hair and the ton of bracelets. Yeah, right. Remember the time period when everyone was going around saying Where ' s the Beef? Yeah, right. We ' re pretty wierd. too, sometimes. But rarely, right? It ' s funny how through it all we got here. We ' ve always looked up at older people, and now that we are the older people, we feel kinda small, huh? Well, someday! we ' ll look back at all this and smile . . . with our kids. Class of 1987 forever. Dian. These last four years at La Quinta have been filled v( ith unforgettable memories that will last for me through- out the rest of my life. - fvlonique Apodaca Senior Class Secretary Even though these past four years seem to have been nothing but sheer tor- ture, it hasn ' t been all that bad ... If I had to start all over again, I wouldn ' t change a thing. - Leslie Joe Senior Class Treasurer Division Page ?3
