BABY BEARS: Shirley Chung, the baby little boy, Brian flash us The end of this year is going to be somewhat different from previous years, in that students will not be set free from this institution until Friday, June 17th, whereas in the past we only had to continue to suffer through Thurs- day of the final week. Even Seniors will be ex- pected to show up on Friday to pick up their diplomas. Ho doubt there will be several di- plomas lying on someones ' desk for quite awhile from those sen- iors who forgot to come back or forget to pay those various debts they owe for uniforms, library books or candy sales. Check out cards will be issued for the first time to help catch Seniors who choose to forget these obligations. Fortunately, Seniors were still not expected to take Finals at the end of this year, al- though some adminis- trators have threatened all year that this was going to be the year that teachers had to give finals to seniors once again. Some of the Senior Activities, that take place during finals week, include a bear mascot and Coach Carter ' s a big smile. 284 Closing We Took The Time skating party, a movie and a hypnotist show. Of course, there will also be a Baccalaureate, Graduation Ceremony and the traditional ' Grad night at Disneyland. But enough of this. June is here. Although at times we felt it would never arrive. Face it, the last five min- utes of any Economics class can seem like an eternity to a senior who ' s ultimate daydream centers around the desire to get out . And to the lowly freshman, with three long, agoniz- ing years left, having survived this first terri- ble year is nothing short of a major victory. Yet all of us, at one time or another, real- ized to some extent that realistically speaking - it was all over before it even began. The routine merely served as a guideline to keep us from going over the edge in our quests for fun and adventure. And no matter what we did, we always took the time to do it our way. From football games and Downey Warren week to CIF Basketball fever; from earthquakes to COriTiriUED »

yearbook newspaper deadlines; from Home- coming to the Rocka Hula Luau - the only thing that made us unique was our unquen- chable spirit to have fun while we strived to be the best. It was the only thing we took the time to be — AMD WE ARE!!! We Took The TIME, El Oroso 1988, Volume 32 of the Warren high School yearbook was printed by Josten ' s American Yearbook Com- pany, Road 84 Miner- al King Highway 198, Vi- salia, CA 93279. Using our traditional format (9 X 12 ) we tried to do some new things with the 288 page space pro- vided. 1200 copies were sold beginning at $30. Our cover set and dic- tated the theme estab- lished by Jennifer Holmes and shot by natalie Land with artwork provided by Brenda Higginson. Theme pages utilized 100% and 30% T-285 spot color and Qrey with Black and White pictures instead of the usual Color. Nichelle Halbmaier and Jennifer Holmes directed that. Student Life, Seniors, Clubs, Faculty, and Sports tried a new graphic look by intro- TMAT FACE! Lori LeQr os gives us a look of confusion as she waits for her picture to be taken for Senior Class Favorites. 286 Closing We Took The Time ducing ways ot using type to give life to Head- lines; adapting the essence of ideas from oth- er yearbooks, local newspapers, and maga- zines; and even summoning up a little creativ- ity. Thanks to Tracy Thomason, Dawn Riggs, Christy Bauer, Denise Boyles and Brenda Kemp respectively. Index even got a new look this year in spite of not being able to alpha- betize everything within categories. At least Denise Boyles made sure all the elements for each category stayed together — you win a few, you lose a few. Our businesses that support our efforts through their ads really came through this year as did the students and parents who provide the student ads. We barely had space enough in the 30 pages set aside to provide for all of them let alone any spe- cial copy for each DPS — next year Cindi Smith and Patricia Mar- tinez were the go-get- ters in this department with 11 new ads each. Yeh! We hope you see that We Took The TIME. WILL YOU?
