All of tfiis equals thie sport that was coming on strong in ' 87, off-road 4x4 ' s. With nearby Azusa Can- yon and Lucerne being the most popular summer sites for weekend off- roaders, many also turned to the mountains for win- ter fun. Our favorite place to go in the winter is up towards Big Bear, said senior Ernie Lopez. Along with the fun of driving through water, spinning in the mud and just having fun come the accidents, close calls, get- ting stuck, and the dread- ed flat tires. Last year I high-centered my jeep on a rock, said WHS alum- nus Alan Ziegenbien. Sen- ior Paul Maldonado had two flat tires at once, and water in his carburetor. A lot of time and mon- ey goes into having a ' rad ' 4x4, said Brandon Car- teen. With time and effort, you could end up with a unique 4x4 that didn ' t look like any other. With between $10,000-$13,000 invest- ed, you can have a nice 4x4 to your taste, said Paul. Hill climbing, creek driv- ing, spinning out, and driv- ing over parking bricks seem to be some of the favorite things for WHS 4x-ers. All in all, one should have some money saved up, a good tool box, spare tires, and most of all not to forget to have fun. story by Armando Calderon: layout by Lynn Fujioka: ptiotos by Paul Maldonado. f y A WORKING FAST, Paul Maldonado changes a flat tire Having a flat tire was one of tfie off-roaders ' worst enemies.

ENERGY through learning - ith a flash of light and a burst of speed, the world of Academics re- turned to the world with a fresh new appearance and some added flair. The new look of Academics was filled with many more AP and Honors classes than there had been in the past. This is the first year we ' ve had so many AP and Honors classes, and I am really proud of this accomplishment, said principal Ken Gunn, as he ad- dressed the entire junior class. In the new European Civiliza- tion AP class, the students learned about the history of Eu- rope in much more depth than any other class. I like the new European Civilization AP class because it ' s real challenging; though it can be difficult at times, said soph- omore AP student Angela Ji- menez. All of our AP classes are getting progressively more challenging as they are contin- ually doing more to prepare us for the AP tests that are com- ing in May, said senior Calcu- lus AP student Greg Jackson. The challenging course load couldn ' t help but send students out into the world with their minds full of facts and ideas, energized with the power of new-found knowledge.
