Fantastic Fall Flames Pride Spirits simmered, but weren ' t reduced to ashes, as school started September 8th, and summer fun ended for 1300 Lancers returning to the classroom. A pep rally the first day sparked enthusi- asm and as the year progressed, Lancer spirit ignited into an inferno of pride. Homecoming celebration blazed with a Lancer win over Cal High, an overflow c.-owd in the stands, Tina Gomez crowned queen, and Mrs. Peggy Sebastian as grand marshall of the traditional half-time fes- tivities. Fall sports kindled more school pride as football, waterpolo, girls ' volleyball and girls ' tennis went to C.LF. Student talent boiled over in more Coffee House produc- tions, while Hula Hawkins sparked many a romance. The Winter Formal, even though taking place on one of the coldest nights in Southern California ' s history, was a hot affair with couples dancing aboard the Queen Mary. Even studying for finals did not quench the Lancers ' heatwave of spirit as they proceeded into 1987 with an exciting bas- ketball season, a brand new wrestling pro- gram, a Valentine semi-formal, and the famous ex-cop, David Toma, speaking in a marathon assembly.

Toma Douses Drug Abuse Foma ' s appearance sparked a campus- wide anti-drug alcohol movement and led many students to seek help and support from counselors and peer groups. The fiery issue of smoking led to legisla- tion passed by Governor George Deukme- jian snuffing out cigarettes on every high school campus in California. Even though there was controversy with the new law, La Serna kept its usual stability amidst the firestorm of change. The two-year old Drill Team continued to grow under the leadership of Mrs. Bell. Students with last names beginning with P-Z welcomed a new counselor, Mrs. Rita Stevens, while Mr. Ball (aka Senor Pe- lota) replaced Linn Fairchild as assistant activities director. Mrs. Anita Thompson became the new assistant principal of curriculum, while Mr. Ben Ubovich took over the band. Other new staff faces included: Mrs. Mar- sha Omar, Mr. Bob Algarin, Mr. Dan Bowen, Ms. Monica Parrish, Mr. Chris Heaton, Mrs. Gloria Rauchle and Mrs. Janet Shahagian.
