lc fl o al Esprit ole Corps Some don't believe we have it while others say it doesn't even ' exist. lt is in us though and no one can deny that. Anyone who has ever been to a Varsity football or volleyball game has seen itg anyone who has participated in a class competition has felt it, those who have played in any sport, or have been on the sidelines cheer- ing, understand it. So, what exactly is this thing that seems to play such an active part in our lives? It isn't school pride nor is it merely school spirit. What we do have at San Gabriel is a sense of Esprit de Corps. Esprit de Corps is the unity that bonds teammates together, the force that propels Matadors into action, and the psyche that motivates team members to victory. It is the single, most valuable asset that compels us to achieve in what we set out to do. This year, the Matadors did just that. Whether itfwas in sports, academics, or activities, we worked together to make ourselves better than the rest. Because of our Esprit de Corps and our will- ingness to function as a unit we achieved our ultimate goal, To be at THE TOP!

iends Forever With the arrival of graduation each year, students are forced to move on with their lives and to leave behind much of the needed support they found at San Gabriel High. Although graduation is a promise of the future of the graduates, it likewise threatens the ex- istence of many friendships made during the course of the school years. Sometime after graduation, a large portion of the graduates will leave their families and homes to attend distant universities, travel abroad, or to find some direction for their future. Whatever path they choose it is almost certain that most of the friends they found at S.G.H.S. won't be with them anymore. It is true that friendships come and go but must the be lost forever? When the time comes for us to leave our school, will we leave behind the happiness we found with our friends here? In reality, we may never see our friends again once we graduate. As long as we hold on to the images of our friends and remember the hacppy times we shared with them, though, our memories will never fa e. In this sense our friends will remain our friends forever. gheary Fetterley and Viv Chen know in their hearts that they will remain friends orever. l if The happy times this trio share won't be forgotten. 6 Friendship K ' MM' Even graduation won't break the bond that keeps these together.
