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.

he senior class started preparing for their day of spirit week in the early weeks of summer. The sen- iors began by choosing their theme, Camp Villa Park. They then planned on having painting parties once a week throughout the summer. Although not all of these parties were successful, most of the senior class got involved and partici- pated in the event. The people who helped prepare for l'Camp Villa Park spent long hard hours in hopes that spirit day would be a success. Celia Giacobbi stated that, Spirit day was a joint effort by the majority of the senior class. Special efforts were made for spirit day by senior Francisco Tala- vera who designed and arranged the t- shirts and sweat shirts that were worn by a number of seniors. Also, special efforts were made by Brooke Stevens and Elaine Voulgares who prepared and set up the nature hike. The preparations on Cctober l8 start- ed at 5:00 p.m. Many of the students showed up at the school to contribute their time and efforts toward Camp Villa Park . The students stayed on campus until l l:00 decorating and keeping an eye out for a possible junior attack. When 7:00 a.m. rolled around, the sen- iors were back on campus again. Seniors sat around campus at their individual camp sites, eating breakfast. Karey Nix- on stood in front of the Student Center making pancakes for hungry seniors. The assemblies at Camp Villa Park included the singing of camp chants led by Sandra Johnson. The songleaders also did a routine, and Russell Mont- gomery tried to balance dishes on a tray but failed. The big hit of the assembly was the band, which consisted of Brian Et- ter, Rob Helton, Paul Kelly, and Charles Warner, whose music pulled the entire senior class up to dance. Thus, despite interferences, the Senior Spirit Day was a success. Jimmy Chesemore, Chris Gordon, Louis La Rocca, and Mike Keller do their ballet perfor- mance. The eight Nballerinas' performed for the student body at the lunch assembly. Happy, singing Spartans, Sandra Johnson and Mario Altonega, lead the senior class in camp songs at the nutrition assembly.
