I rfty Sc6edu£e ' Piiday Marching proudly ever forward Spirited students crowded into the gym to attend pep rallies. On through victory or defeat Rallies gave the chance for support to be shown for the athletic teams and their participants. We will find our place in life, in every goal we meet . . Members of different classes and teams got a chance to become united and show their support for their school and each other. Hey! Hey! Ho! Ho! Come on, everybody, do the Saint rumble Stomp, stomp, stomp, stomp. stomp, slap. slap, slap, slap, slap. clap. clap. clap. clap. clap. Woo! [Not only were rallies spirit builders, but also stress relievers. The Saint rumble especially, was one cheer that helped students get rid of frustrations accumulated during a week of school. Students were allowed to stomp their feet, and yell at the top of their lungs — something that was not considered proper conduct for the classroom. For this reason, students pushed and shoved their way through the double doors of the gym hoping to find a seat. Rallies also offered a change of pace and scenery from the same place, same thing of the classroom. Sophomore Alicia Alonso said, Rallies are something I really look forward to on Fridays. We ' ve got it! Hey! Hey! They want it! Hey! Hey! The can ' t have it! Hey! Hey! Our team wil fight! Hey! We ' re out of sight! Hey! We may be bold! Hey! But we ' ve got soul! Hey! We ' ve got saint power! Students, teachers and administrators alike, joined together and cheered on our athletic teams and their members. Members of at least one team were honored at each rally. They were invited to sit on the gym floor and were recognized with cheers especially for them. If you wanna hear us cheer. Let us hear you yell your year! Class spirit was improved through the competition generated by this cheer. The spirited sophomores and juniors competed with each other, while inspiring less spirited classes. I think the sophomores are most spirited; we ' re all united as one group. said sophomore Roman Rodriguez. Raise your hands! Stomp your feet! San Dimas just can ' t be beat! Mo way! As cheers made the whole gym tremble from pounding feet and clapping hands, school spirit filled the gym as nearly everyone participated. Then there were those who only heard the cheers echoed across the campus. These were the students who chose to work on homework, clean lockers, or socialize rather than participate in the festivities. I look forward to rallies because they give me time to work on homework I didn ' t finish the night before. said junior Lori Hess. Although there were different cheers for different purposes, the Alma Mater generated a special sense of pride and oneness — the most important product of the rallies San Oimas Saints we love thee dearly. To thee we pledge our faith sincerely. With our sword and armor bright. San Dimas Saints our own true light. Through the years we shall not fail. Hail. San Dimas. Hail! Instead of going to the rally, seniors Erin Burleigh and Carmen Nunez socialize, while senior Laurie Francis finishes her homework. Juniors unite during the victory cheer to inspire other classes. etUle 69

? ztt Into. Pa4 Uo t, Whether we dressed sloppy, preppy, sporty, or trendy, we had the look for fall. Colors were earthtones — browns, khaki, army greens, and mustard. Shoes, belts, and purses textured with snakeskin, crocodile, or alligator print could be seen on feet, around waists, and on shoulders everywhere. To each his own — and everyone had a little different idea of what being in fashion meant. For me, said junior Mike Schultz it ' s dressing however I ' m comfortable. Sophomore Julie Bullock said, I love guys ' clothes better than girls, ' and big, baggy shirts. Boys and girls alike wore friendship bracelets knotted in all shapes, sizes, designs and colors. Creepers, shoes made of either leather or suede with thick soles were also worn by both sexes. Girls with a desire to keep up with the fall fashion scene, started at the bottom with flat lace-up boots or pumps. Textured stockings or thin socks came ne xt. Short skirts, tight jeans, tight stretch pants, or baggy pants covered the bottom half. To top it all off, they wore crop tops, big shirts, or sweaters and turtlenecks, usually checked or striped. Girls ' hair wasn ' t as spiky anymore, instead they went for the more natural look. As their short styles of previous years grew out, the bangs got curled and the rest was left straight or lightly permed. Guys wore the in thing — sweaters with jeans, baggy pants, and dressy pants. On warmer days, button-down shirts, or 3- button shirts with a collar were popular. For everyday wear, guys wore inexpensive shoes called Wino ' s, which came in brown or black with a vanilla-colored rubber sole. A college sweatshirt with sweats or jeans and a brand- name pair of high-top tennis shoes from L.A. Gear, or Nike, to Reebok or Fila, provided the more relaxed look. Accessores finished it off. Guys with hats and one earring and girls with big loopy earrings, thick elastic belts, cloth-covered rubberbands, and small compact purses had the look for fall. WE VE GOT 70 Student Ifa
