THERES ALWAYS NEXT YEAR. Ms. Saffell tries to explain the complexities of duty stations to Mr. Phil Davis on one of his early spins around the block in her orange cart. SPIRIT! SPIRIT! SPIRIT! HEY WE WANT TO HEAR IT. Papa Joe tries to help the Pep Squad and get the students interested in the lunch pep assembly. WHO ME? Mr. Davis and Felix look shocked as Mrs. Saffell asks for their hall pass. What has kept you here at Warren High for so long? This school is a wonderful place to work. I enjoy the students and the faculty very much. I ' ve been working here since it opened 32 years ago it ' s the most OUTSTANDING SCHOOL OF THIS AREA. -Mrs. Saffell In this democratic nation of ours, the people don ' t always get a say-so in the decision making of our public school system. Instead the government, also known as, the Board of Education gives authority to our administrators. Throughout its history as a school, Warren High has ad- ministered many rules which students have liked and many they have disliked. One rule which is very much disliked by many is the closed campus rule. Not only Is this rule ridiculous on behalf of the ultraconservative Board of Education of Downey, but It prevents the student from getting a fair meal, and from mak- ing his own choice. This history of Downey, and espe- cially its Board of Education, has many odd and hard to believe sto- nes. This city was on international news when the Board of Education banned Tarzan from the schools, because Tarzan and Jane were not believed to be married. There were many other books banned because of similar. Puritanical and idiotic reasons. This ultraconserva- tive board base their reason for a closed campus on reasons as idi- otic as their reason for banning Tarzan. Downey should look at other school boards that allow an open campus, and see how well it actually works. Lack of a fair school meal is an- other reason that open campus is needed. As almost any student and I will tell you that the school food, stinks! Indeed, this is usually the case, since many times the food is pre- pared much sooner before it is served, and many times, food which IS not sold, is kept and served at a later date. Some may argue that students can bring their own lunch if they do not like the schools. The fact is that many times, students lack the time to prepare a nutritious lunch in the morning. Along with an open campus comes the freedom of choice. Open cam- pus would allow a student to eat anywhere he wants to; home, a restaurant, McDonald ' s. Indeed, it IS freedom of choice that makes the United States so appealling, and when this freedom is denied, the people argue and fight back to regain it. Freedom of choice is in- deed denied to the students of this campus, A Board of Education which re- stricts its students in such a way as mentioned above, can not ex- pect those students to grow up and make their own decisions, since they will be used to obeying the rules that every single individ- ual makes up. A society with peo- ple who cannot make their own decisions, is not a society for very long. — Harry Christidis Faculty-119
