latll of llarfitillilfibll Cl'iIllllBS JlIlIi0l' CIZSS This year has not been kind to the Junior Class. They have been plagued by a chronic lack of partici- pation. According to Donna Remus, class of1981l ad- viser, only three people showed up at the meetings an'd those aren't even the officers. She said that even though there were few class members who showed up, those that did worked really hard. SOl'T1e of the ElCtiVltleS that the jUl'llOl' Cl3SS mem- bers were involved in this year included an M 81 lVl sale, the Victory Week dance, and a helium balloon sale at the school bazaar. When asked about the bal- loon sale Mrs. Remus said, lt wasn't a big money maker but it was fun to be involved in. During the summer the juniors had planned to have a car wash, a swim party, and a camping trip. But according to junior class adviser Gary Haas, Not enough people showed up so everything fell through. HG suggested that the juniors were just involved in too many other activities. The juniors had planned to form committees to prepare for the Junior-Senior prom. Theme and de- corating committees were developed to divide the DlEll'll'lll'lQ 3l'lCl llTlDlGl'Tlel'ltEltlOl'1 of Dl'OlTl Dl8l lS. How- GVGF, 3CCOl'Clll lQ to lVll'.

TO help COn'lDat Llnel'nDlOy- ment, a San Joaquin COUntV J0b-a-thOn WaS slated for lVlal'Ch. lt WaS to be bl OadCaSt by Channel 10, CaDleVlSlOn and KFMR Stockton as a way fOl D0tentlal eI nDlOYeeS to make contact with one anOthel'. lVleanWhile, Lodi and Stock- ton had more work CUt OUt for them. Attempts at dOWn- town ll'nDl OVel'nent were contrasted with deDateS OVel' the expansion of city limits. The Centfal Lodi ll'nDl'OVe- ment COl'nl'nlttee, a QFOUD l'eDl'eSentlnQ many down- town Dl'ODel'tV OWnel S, had noble plans f0l' beautifica- tion. Theil' plans were in Fe- SDOnSe to a SlOWlnQ of busi- ness in LOdi'S core. The Sl0WdOWn had been caused by faCtOl'S ranging fl'OlT'I the depressed economy to the recent aDDeal'anCe of neW ShODDlnQ al'eaS in other Dal'tS of town. lt WaS hODed that il'nDl'OVel'nentS in the O- riginal Shopping diStl'iCt would give business a bit of a pick-up. Public meetings occured to discuss plans, and most in at- tendance seemed to favor beautification. It was only the financing of the project that was still in question. At the Same time, St0CktOn was working towards down- town improvement on a larg- er, more long-term scale. The City Planning Commission had made recommendations for that improvements in the original shopping district hoping for project comple- tion by the yeal' 2000. Com- missioners hoped to take their 75-page revitalization report to public hearings in February. But improvements had al- ready been happening. Five downtown hotels were total- ly Ol' Daftlally Closed down be- cause they failed to meet min- lmUl'n hOUSlnQ, health, and flfe safety standards. The Standal'dS had been the Dl'Od- uct Of a new city inspection Dl'OQl'al'n. AISO, two five-story OffiCe tOWel'S Wel e l'lSinQ rapidly De- Side the StOCKtOn Channel. These office buildings not on- ly helped improve the face of Stockton's innards, but they also provided jobs. Two more identical towers were sche- duled to begin Construction in February 1984. ln addition, more workers labored on nearby apartments and con- dominiums. The housing complexes were part of a S100 million, 70-acre Waterfront Re-development project. Although stockton was nav- ing enough trouble just tak- ing care of its center, out- spoken proponents of out- ward expansion were numer- ous. But expansion opponents had restricted growth with the 1978 passage of Measure A. Many who had opposed ex- pansion wanted to first en- courage infill. That is, they wanted to force the develop- ment of vacant land that was already within the City limits. Besides that, they Said that growth would threaten the area's rich agricultural land. Fortunately, only the voters could alter or remove expan- sionlimits. All in all, it seemed that nothing could put a damper on the spirits of Lodians and Stocktonians who always con- tinued to rebuild, revitalize, and re-examine the problems that fortune had dealt them. some residents even felt that they Wouldn't wish to live anywhere else. 1.
