Well, it may be obvious for those who pretended to be Billy Idol, Madonna, or the Untouchables during ASB's Lip-Sync Contest. ln their bright, clashing outfits, Rudy Chavarria and Robert Farfan led the an- tics when presenting the five groups be- fore the judges. There were four judges, two faculty and two students. One judge, Scott Cassells thought, The contest exposed something different to the campus and brought along with it student participation, both in perfor- mance and as spectators. ws, W 1' WV, ff ,X iff' 4 'iff I A TAPPING TO THE BEAT, the smiling John'VorlS starts his routine in a different manner -- elfllflg- His performance to The Prince brOUQl'll lllm and helle his group third place.

Sean, along with Jason Schouw, Vin- cent Gonzales, Charles Stevens, and Tim Garcia, was spared from the agony of defeat. Their performance to the Un- touchables' Twist and Shake brought them first place - and their prize of fifty dollars. Jason admitted that the prize was what first inspired him, but he didn't end up signing-up because of it.

June signifies not only the coming of summer, but also the end of the school year, spring sports, and four years of hard work for the seniors. Cap- ping off the seniors' brief en- gagement at Walnut High were Baccalaureate, Senior Awards Night, Senior Break- fast, Grad Night, and the Grand Finale, Graduation. Ever since I was in grade school I had looked forward to my graduation from high school. lt was one of the most fulfilling feelings in the world when l received my diploma. I felt like l had my whole life ahead of me! said graduate Bernadette Rueda. But the seniors weren't the only ones affected by the com- ing of the end of the year. Un- derclassmen felt it too. For some, summer was the Division PagefSpring Supplement '84 time to do things that were im- possible during school. Lyn Espinoza said, l'm usually ready for summer to get here in January. When it finally comes around in June l auto- matically start sleeping late and thinking about going to the beach. For some underclassmen summer didn't mean any dras- tic changes. There was a sum- mer school program for those in need of credits or for others like Sylvia Moncada, who just wanted to get rid of their re- quirements. lt was hard to get out of bed sometimes, especially when l had to sit in a class for three hours listening to boring Civics and international Rela- tions discussions. But since l get out fourth period now, I think it was worth it. I Also offered in the summer were athletic enhancement courses coached by WHS coaches. Varsity football coach Jerry Dutton commented, I don't even consider letting any boy play for me in the fall if he doesn't come out in the sum- mer. That's the time when you see who's really got what it takes. Even though it was the end of an era for the seniors, it was just another start for the un- derclassmen, who had from one to three years to go be- fore they would finally get to . spend their summer exactly the way they wanted. Varsity songleader Michelle Boyd said, 'll someday hope to have a summer that l can spend asleep on the beach, but right now Pm just too busy!! f The for ASB's L in th Chaval f tics wh fore thi two fa ivdsel contes the cal studen mance ..,.... ,.

This was it, the beginning of the end. Senior Awards Night was the first of the senior events to end four years of hard work. Not only was this a night for awards and recognition, but also a night to re- member the past and think about the future. lt was neat to see all your friends get awards for their achievements, but it was also weird to think that this was the end of our high school years . . . it was time to start realizing our goals and achieving Them, . igr Sold Daphne sen- Cook- ingham.

Chris had the highest grade point average of the whole class, while Tina had the second highest, receiving only one UB in her four years of high school.
