Everybody in Southern Calitornia has probably been to Disneyland a dozen times, and everyone who has been to Disneyland that many times has probably taken visiting relatives with them a hall a dozen times Thats when it's your turn to have the dreaded leeling ol being a tourist Where are the restrooms? , Mom, l'm hungrylw, and Lets look in the shops! are heard throughout the day. Watt, pose here with Mickeylu Aunt Rose says and with cameras clicking and mouths gabbing, the gang iourneys on. 'Stay together, Grandma chimes in and quickly adds, Wait, let's sit down and rest, l'm tired. Taking visiting relatives to Disneyland is more a long chore than a day ot lun and adventure. When l took my cousin to Disneyland, he embarrassed me by drooling over all the native California girls, Su- zanne Wooters, iuntor, explained. l was constantly telling him to watch Dumbo and Mickey instead of all the girlslm she added. When the day is over and all the lireworli smoke has cleared, you know that it is time to leave the so-called happiest place on earth . Alter a fifteen minute ride home which lwith screaming coustnsl seems to last forever, you can review the day to yoursell. The only things lelt to remember the day are lragments ot souvenirs, deflated Mickey Mouse balloons, and five or six Disneyland maps. Was it worth ilu you casually ask yourself, but belore answering your own question, your head hits the pillow and youre OUT until morning. John Russo helps decorate the school the night before Spirit Day, Many of the luniors decorated until l 1:00 pm, finishing after 5:00 am. Q G he seniors have always dominated Spirit Week in the past, but this year they were worried about the competition, stated Kristen Norman. Campus decorators arrived at 5:00 pm Sunday night and stayed until l l:00 pm, but only because of the new rule that stated that no one is allowed to decorate between l 1:00 pm, and 5:00 am. Brian Raum said enthusiastically, 'll think decorating was really fun be- cause it got more luniors involved in their class. Among the hundreds of banners and signs scattered throughout the school were 'lTom Sawyer's Island , Uftuto- pia , The Monorail , and The Matter' horn . Mickey lVlouse's face was pic- tured all over campus, including a huge banner which covered the whole am- I Qpening phitheater back wall. All the hard work paid off because VPHS really did re- semble Disneyland after all, says Jen- ll ra A -. Teresa Gorham enioys the lunchtime assembly. The assembly consisted of skits and dances per- formed by students. nifer Holmes, who held many of the l painting parties at her house.
