i m m Ceturian Spirit Soars Pep Rallies- we all attended them. They promoted school spirit and pride. They gave many students a chance to relax from a vigorous schedule of classes and a chance to become involved in the activity . . . or a quick trip to McDonalds. Throughout ' the year the Pep Rallies that v ere offered displayed the class and spirit U.C. maintains. The Homecoming Pep Rally with the cheerleaders performing a colorful skit was one of the most suc- cessful pep rallies during the year. In case one wonders just who the masterminds of these activities were, try looking at the cheerleaders and student government officers. The planning, writ- ing and much of the performing was done by these groups. Although pep rallies were fewer this year, the success of many of the athletic teams made them more exciting and livelier than ever. » Class points are in the bag for Dave Moore Cheerleaders song.

The Brainy Bunch A box contains eleven balls, numbered 1, 2, 3 11. If six balls are drawn simutaneously at random, what is the probability that the sum of the numbers on the balls drawn will be odd? Problems like these were what attracted more than twenty students to join the Math Team. The Math Team headed by advisor Nanci White, met two Wednesdays of each month in room 450 to work on problems simi- lar to this one, and to discuss upcoming con- tests. The team competed in contests both county and statewide. In the San Diego State Math Field Day on February 25, Mike Liang received honorable mentions for excellent scores in games such as Chalk Talk , Rapid Transit , and Calculator Capers . In the California Math League Contest, to which our Math Team belongs, members com- peted against other California high schools by taking tests every month. f Front left: Mrs. White, Dave Nicklas.

It ' s like the most awesome styles were, like seen, everywhere and most everyone wore the coolest fashions. Guys as well as girls like had their hair bleached, and wore ear cuffs and like lots of make-up ' n stuff. With the maximum of holes were in lots of their ears with long earings dan- gling from them. Then there were like the rockers with their spiked wristbands and concert T-shirts, always wearing worn-out jeans with radical Levi jack- ets and had their favorite rock group printed on the back. It ' s like UTC was just the totally in place to be. The movie theatre and the arcade were like really popular to almost everyone around the school. Next year might not have the same unique styles as we had this year, but there will be a lot of newer fads to take their place. Bobby Clark; The personality, the athlete, the man!
