Elements of class and style Reflect a Maturing City 1 0 Community A city of beauty and class, Upland was the place to be. Everywhere one looked, a multitude of people could be seen. Construction sights were on the horizon as, the city prepared itself for a greater population. Not only were houses under construction, but the Department of Motor Vehicles was flattened and rebuilt on Grove Avenue. Benson Avenue, Eighth Street, and Seventh Street found themselves torn up as crews worked efficiently to complete their respec- tive task. Elementary schools, junior high schools, and Upland High comprised the single school district which resulted in the uniting of the city. With unity growing, citizens of Upland welcomed visitors and were increasingly receptive to newcomers. Many people engaged in various activities as Upland had a wide range of entertainment possibilities. People could be located at the Mann Theater or the Miniature Golf Courses. Sunday picnics in the park or at Mt. Baldy became immensely popular with Uplanders who fully recognized each treasured aspect of their community. With mountains rising to the north and rolling hills cascading in the south, Upland was a community that others held in great respect. by Jennifer Bales

12 Summer . The summer saw many students Soaking Up California Pleasures With the many pleasures of Southern California open to vaca- tioning Highlanders, the summer of '87 was spent filled with excitement. Thousands of teenagers mobbed the beaches under a warm sun to en- joy the cool waves. The mountains were, for many, a quiet and relaxing place for nature walks along peaceful trails. Meanwhile, back in Upland, still others enjoyed com- munity activities. While some teenagers found summer jobs to save money, others spent money to enjoy a variety of summer movies. For those searching for an inexpen- sive, relaxing theatre under the stars, Summer Movies, sponsored by the Upland Recreation Department in Magnolia Park, provided a cold but homey atmosphere as 101 Dalmations raced across the screen. Meanwhile, many students labored through an academic sum- mer. Many chose to complete extra or required credits during summer school sponsored by La Verne University. Meanwhile, many college-bound seniors preparing for college applications toured the coun- try visiting various colleges and universities. Whether working to earn some money and experience, soaking up the pleasures of Southern California or preparing for the future, Higlanders became All Wrapped Up in the diverse activities the world had to offer. by Annie Wu
