turn to visions of Prom and Graduation. Prom will be the ultimate goal for all under- class girls while for Seniors it is a definite must. We will build up prom so much in our minds that to have any idea of what it will be like in reality will be next to impossible. Sen- iors will also be trying to decide where they will go on their gradu- ation trip or how to talk f their parents into letting ..g y „q them go on a gradu- j victor Paredez, wants to jo ation trip. While all of this was go- ing on the members of the staff of the El Oroso were trying to capture it all on film or paper. Trying to get it orga- nized and have it all fit together. Coming in on weekends, staying out of other classes, run- ning to Pace or Fromex to pick up another batch of desparately needed pictures, and every once in awhile sneaking to El Taco or some other fast food place for a forbidden, but we feel a deserved special lunch. The layouts were drawn, most of the pictures were taken, some of the copy was written, but it wasn ' t getting done, so plan more deadlines, stay out of class longer, forget lunch we don ' t have time!! Tli E - there are 24 hours in a day, 1,440 minutes but what does that mean if nothing gets accom- plished? DRIMK COKE. in in the fight against drugs. !«g| In the middle of all this confusion, there was a dance. The first dance to be held outside here at Warren and, some say, it was the best dance we ' ve ever had! It was called the ' Rocka- Hula-Luau . Anyway, we took the time and got something done, al- though it took a lot of effort and we often felt we were the only ones who cared, we created the thirty-second vol- ume of the El Oroso and we are pretty proud of it! Mow we hope you will take the time to en- joy it! Opening 9 We Took the Time

Although one might think that being a senior is just all fun and games, it isn ' t. It is actually a time of relentless pressure and stress. Just when 1 thought the hardest years of high school were over, 1 realized that the senior year is unique in its difficulties — college applications, job applications, tests-and-more-tests, decisions,decisions, decisions And, that ' s not all. Most of us are planning to go to college so that it will look better on our job applications for jobs which make $100,000 per year — starting pay, but before we can begin to apply for the jobs, we have to apply to college. To me, applications are just basically a major pain in the derriere. I suppose that ' s the way it goes, however. One must gather up every bit of information about his or her high school career. What ' s my Q.P.A.? my class rank?

One can guess that by this time his or her counselor is sick of the student ' s face. But that ' s okay because the counselors always told us that they ' re here for us, and they probably expect us to ignore them until our senior year. It ' s really a shame that I haven ' t gotten to know all of my classmates. I like others, have fallen into a clique of friends, but we seniors share something in common. Come June we will be graduating and God only knows if we ' ll ever meet again. With that reality comes insecurity. Pio longer can we feel safe among the familiar faces, classrooms, and hallways. It ' s time we grow up. — Susan Kim
