In The Beginning . . . l Saying goodbye to 2 a.m. bedtimes and hello to 6 a.m. alarm clocks, was Jenee Cummins comment about returning to school. Todd Bechtal added, Now I won't be able to surf at Nobes all day. Other students thought differently, and as Dina Sousa put it, Coming back to school meant that I would see all of my friends who were gone or busy this summer. Most students agreed that the summer went by too fast. Hopefully the school year will go by just as fast! stated Billy Fox. But as the first week of school prog- ressed, things began to cheer up and the old routine was back. lt seemed like everyone got settled and 6 a.m. didn't seem so early anymore, commented Sara Ash- worth. The first week of school ended with an all-school as- sembly. The coaches introduced their teams, and the cheerleaders showed their stuff. The Drill Team, a new addition to PLHS, 'Went Inside Out' with a dance num- ber. lt was a good idea to have the assembly. Everybody got to see what was happening and the guys got to see the cheerleaders! exclaimed Dain Spore. 1. Having a good time at the first dance is Ftuss lmlay and Anne Pitta. 2. After two years of registration, it still is confusing. 3. Tom Nemeth enjoys helping out at registration. 4. Looking for a helping hand at registration is Walter Turner. 5. Waiting for orientation to begin, sophomores relax outside big gym. 6. Chris Turner enjoys first day of workshop. X .4 ff' .ff 8 Opening l as ag. .1 3 2 4 X' ff?' fi f . , 'f-wflst. ..

' 1 . ' q ma Q PL painted in maroon on the bleachers, a giant football painted in maroon and gold on the football field, students wearing maroon and gold at the games, and new students being welcomed to the campus were all a part of the new happenings at Point Loma in 1980. Point Loma's students, staff, and parents showed their spirit and support by participating in pep rallies, athletic games, and Spirit Week. Mr. Ouon, the new vice-principal, arrived with a lot of new ideas for the school. With his help, a giant PL was painted on the bleachers in maroon. He also introduced pep rallies Friday during lunch. They were very popular and helped to build spirit for all P.L. activ- ities. As the school year began, many new students came to Point Loma for the first time. Ms. Holman, the ESL counselor, worked out a program to have the return- ing Point Loma students show new ones around and to make them feel welcomed. The New Students Guides spent time getting to know their new students and showed them around campus. lt was really fun and it gave me a chance to meet some new people, commented Danielle Noe. Coach Huddleston helped the football team's spirit by painting a big football in the center of the field with Point Loma around it. lt added a nice touch to the ap- pearance of PL's field and I think it boosted the foot- ball players moraI, remarked Coach Hudd. 5 Nell Mills and David Stangland wait for winners to be announced. Heidi Turner and Marc Repaire enjoy new fruit drinks. Cowboy day was a blast! commented Deonne Kahler. Fiex Fiepaire and Michele Manicom share a healthy lunch together UC Davis Band adds life to PLHS with some good music.
