Beep! - Twenty magnificent floats were bumper to bumper, hoping to covet the top prize in the car parade. Making all types of noise to show the most spirit, the most profound was. . . Beep! Beep! Screaming, cheering, laughing and beeping were all part of this year's car parade. The parade started in the parking lot of the Pitt- sburg High Stadium, and the procession went down School Street and turned on- to Railroad Avenue. The judges were at 2000 Railroad Avenue to get a good look at each float to choose a win- ner. The parade continued down Buchannan, onto Har- bor, and back to PHS. The people on the float backed their Pirateer and Uglyman nominees, cheering for them and the club they represented, all the way. Putting a float together was fun, but hectic. lt took hours of labor and design. Approx- imately 20,000 tissue flowers were used to decorate these floats, and an average of nine hours was put into assembl- ing each float. Many were worried about it raining the next day, so floats were covered with plastic to pre- vent masterpieces from being ruined. The parade participants woke up eagerly on Friday, November 13, knowing that that day was the day of truth. Who would win this year? CSF thought that they would lose to PAC for PAC has cap- tured the top prize for two consecutive years. However, CSF was confident they would covet best overall. During the day, many found it important to cut class and finish their floats. The winner for best was CSF, most was PAC, most overall original thematic was Ski Club, and the Class of '89 took most spirited. CSF quoted, This is the first time, in the history of Pittsburg High, that CSF has ever won!! The air was full with excite- ment, but with sadness for the Senior Pirateer and Uglyman nominees knew that this would be their last car parade. However, the Freshmen were excited in making their first appearance in the car parade, and looked forward to the years to come. - Ria Popick and Dina Duran The Mom's show their spirit by entering the car parade. ll

Distant Relationships . . . will They Last? Nowadays, relationships are based on trust, honesty, and of course, LOVE. Some have even taken the chance to involve themselves as dis- tant relationships, not know- ing if it would live up to their expectations. Most people believe that having a relationship with somebody from another city or town can strengthen a relationship. lt gives you time for yourself. You don't have to worry about spen- ding too much time together and getting too bored with each other, said Teresa Aiello. It isn't as difficult to meet new people as many think. Most high school students meet people at football and basketball games, concerts, dances, parties, and even at the mall. The relationship Will They Last? - l l starts with friendship and continues to grow into something special. lt's cool I if you take it in the right way and with the right person. You have to take a person for who they are, and let it go from there, commented Ray Cooper. When taking into con- sideration the jealousy that many of us feel, the relation- ship could easily be damag- ed. Each party could become jealous of the friendships the other may have in hisfher town, leading to insecurity. However, these problems can be worked out with pa- tience and understanding. So those who are afraid to engage in a relationship with someone who doesn't live in your town, take the risk, it just might work outl - Theresa Heredia
