CELEBRATING wit each othe: As you ' re listening to the announcements in the morning, your mind drifts off into thoughts of what you have to do today. Suddenly, you hear Happy birthday to ... and a new thought races througoh your mind: Let ' s cele- brate! Having birthdays an- nounced over the inter- com or sending balloons and candy to a friend at school was an accepted practice. It made me feel spe- cial that my sister had my birthday an- nounced, said Julie Arambula, senior. I was thankful that some- one remembered. One group of friends celebrated birthdays once a month at Casa Ole. We usuallly reserve a room at Casa Ole and chip in to pay for the birthday people ' s din- ners, said Kelly Arnecke, junior. Many reasons cause celebrations. Winning the big game calls for a party at the ever-faithful Mr. Gatti ' s. Valentine ' s Day saw the central of- fice so full of balloons, candy and flowers that numbers were issued to students so that they could pick up their ar- rivals. Many students celebrated life by having parties on the weekend or by just going over to a friend ' s house. I like to celebrate life, Lydia Pedraza, junior, said. After all, you ' re only young once. FOR YOU: Lenora Adames, senior, picks up her flowers. RECEIVING: Julie Arambula receives a bouquet of balloons from an unknown admirer. Many students re- ceived balloons and flowers on Valentine ' s Day. CELEBRATING
