Since school began until April 3rd they spent many hours, after school, week- ends, and vacation days making lay- outs, cropping pictures and writing copy (like this) to get the school memories together in time before school was over. This year the staff was guided by advisor John McKee, who worked with his head editor Renee Smith. Renee spent many hours cleaning-up pages and helping the staff on their different sections. She said she would have never finished the book if it hadn ' t been for the rest of the staff and especially Remo Melucci, who was the head photographer.

In the Cahuilla Indian language the Chia sage is called Pasal. The name Salvia Columbariae was given to this plant of many wonders in 1835 by an English botanist, George Bentham. Chia plants grow in the South-western regions of the United States and Mexico. They stand about three feet high, with one or two pairs of dark green leaves and one or two whorls of flowers, with six to eight blossoms to each plant. The plant grows primarily in the foothills and Yellow Pine belts below 4000 feet in a dry area. The seeds from the Chia plant are small, slippery, grayish- brown, and are harvested in early summer. Each blossom contains about a half a teaspoonful of seeds. Some of the people that used the plant were Indians, Spanish, Mexi- cans, and early settlers. A teaspoonful of Chia seeds could provide a person with enough energy to keep going for a full day. The seeds may be used to neutralize brackish water converting the water into a refreshing, nourishing drink. This was done by putting a few teaspoonfuls of Chia seeds into warm, alkaline water. The seeds were also used in various kinds of teas and foods. The blossom of the Chia produces a clear honey. The ancient people of this region depended upon the Chia as a staple food. The Chia had been harvested and eaten even before corn. There are different sizes of Chia plants; the seeds of the miniature Chia were used by the natives as an eye treat- ment. They would sprinkle the fine seeds into their eyes at night. This helped to remove particles from their eyes and relieve irritation. The Chia plant is still being used today. Perhaps the Chia is still working some of its past magic as it enabled the modern day version of the Palm Springs Indians to achieve many notable successes in 1980-81. 1. Mr. Paul Summers, 1950 2.
