- o 'O gb 6 .ff 4 A Hi- f. , , .w '-- ,sig lt is rather unfortunate that students are divided up and stereotyped on the basis of their grade. Though each class may take on a general mood, the individuals within it are by no means defined by being sopho- mores, juniors, or seniors. Seniors get bigger pictures, yes, but we are only de- ferring to age and tradition, not to the conception that they are in any way gbet- ter.' Education,', perhaps, is a mistitling of this section. It is ironic that a yearbook deals very little with teaching and learning in classes though education is the basic purpose of high school, sports, organiza- tions and activities being secondary and extracurricular. I. Mr. Stanton contemplates a forthcoming cynical comment. 2. The San Marcos student body is introduced to new administration. 3.

-'BSA s In Search of Was 1978-79 really different from any other year? We won a few championships, lost a few others. Athletes once again returned to the hours and days and weeks of trying effort and competition, once again sacrificed sleeping late and going home early. To compete well meant to suffer well, and finally to find meaning in this suffering. Sports teams returned in the fall to face new challenges, some began their high school athletic careers, some returned to end theirs. umber One We won a football title, and went on to triumph in cross country, golf and basketball. In the sports the Royals were not champions in, they were often up against great odds. Three Channel League girls' basketball teams fBuena, Ventura and Dos Pueblosj went on to the final rounds in CIFg Buena fbeaten by San Marcos at one pointj was the champion of the Coastal Conference. In boys' tennis, San Marcos kept up a strong pressure on the league leaders, Santa Barbara and Dos Pueblos, making the league race a close one. But to athletes who sought to work for something more than just a small trophy, these idle statistics meant little. A team triumphed if, and only if, the individuals became fluid parts in a single concerted effort. A star player had no success in the final outcome if he did not take advantage of the team's collective talent. Conversely, the team without those indescribable moments of sheer athletic expertise that certain players could offer lacked something. Royals were constantly going for the one in search of their lost baskets and matches and touchdowns and goals. More often than not they followed through and found success. Once again, it was a time of championship.
