Take a hike ■ he new fashion craze at San Gorgonio was the backpacks. Everyone owned one to keep up with the fad and the numerous books. The result of the closed lockers on campus brought the sale of backpacks. They were sold during registration and throughout the year at the student store. Students could choose from three sizes and a few different colors. The smallest pack at $6.00 was referred to as the tie back, while the most commonly bought pack was the $8.00 zipped backpack. The most expensive pack at $24.00, with a leather bottom, was the largest of the three. Many of San G ' s students were forced to use packs to carry their books, which had been put in lockers during years past. Yolanda Ledezma, a junior commented, They ' re troublesome to carry around. Jane Singer, class of ' 84 added, Backpacks get heavy after awhile. There were some good points and bad points as junior Cathy Haubner stated, At least you never forget your homework, but then again you have to take it everywhere, including lunch.
