Aloha! Parting is such sweet sorrow Saying good-bye to the old school and hello to the new, the junior class chose “Aloha” as the theme for the Junior-Senior Prom. For the third year in a row, the band “Fame” was selected to play at the annual dance. As junior class president Francis Borjon ex- plained, “I heard them last year and loved the way they played.” As the new high school neared completion, heavy machinery from the shops was moved to its new location for installation. The auto shop building on the parking lot was also dismantled and moved. Students and teachers alike an- ticipated the arrival of the ’82 Copper Cat. “I can hardly wait to see the yearbook,” remarked Mari- anne Padilla, “because it will be the last book of memories from the old high school.” As the year came to an end, seniors looked forward to gradu- ation and the last commencement exercises on the old football field. “I’m glad I’m graduating from the old school rather than the new one,” commented Cindy Berry. “This school holds so many memo- ries for everyone.” Reigning over the 1982 Junior-Senior Prom are Ramona Rodriguez, Queen, and Armando Tellez, King. PROM ROYALTY: FRONT ROW: Priscilla Baca, Debbie Burt, Michelle Maldonado, Bon- nie Lopez, Nancy Balderrama. 2ND: John Lee, Ernest Luna, Donald Cates, Michael Na- varrete, Tony Castaneda. Trying to pass the lifesaver in the spring Junior Olympics are Johnny Velasquez and Lori Fuller. Serenading Gerri Stinson are members of the visiting EAC Chorus. SPRING STUDENT LIFE -25
