wearing. Nr. Davis, our new vice principal, joined our faculty on the day of the quake. What a welcoming! October first was also the middle of Warren - Downey week. This festive week consisted of a B.Y.O.B. (Bring Your Own Bear) Day, a Fifties Day, a Hawaiian day, Dow- ney Dork Day and Blue-and-Qold Day. Also this year on the day of the game, the students ordered a plane carry- ing a banner which read Bears Whip Ducks: Film at Eleven. to fly over both Warren and Downey High. Hopefully the students at Downey saw it. This year ' s foot- ball team did a great job and the Bears won 35-3. Soon after our victory over Downey, we played our Homecoming Game. At half-time, Jacquie Brown was announced Homecoming Queen and Darius Turner was announced Homecom- ing King. We won our Homecoming Game against Paramount, 37- 21. This year the Home- coming Dance was held PENNY FOR YOUR THOUGHTS. Jeff Gonzales looks sheepishly as his picture is taken in the Marina Ballroom at the Disneyland Ho- tel in Anaheim. The expense of the limos, tuxes, and gowns was worth it so we could all feel like royalty fo r an evening. On December eleventh it was time for another dance - Snow Blitz. The dance was held in the school cafetorium. To everyone ' s surprise Santa Claus came to I visit, and gave everyone rings. Pictures were tak- en and the basketball team joined us at the dance after defeating at their game that evening. Christmas Vacation went by quickly and soon we found our- selves in a new year, 1988. As the year start- ed the semester ended and we were all faced with the agony of taking finals. Of course, the weather was perfect for the beach and many students asked what would happen if they didn ' t show up for the final in certain classes - You will fail, was usu- ally the answer.

o qC O The new semester began and students had to adjust to their new schedules. Once again stu- dents struggled to locate their minds (had they left them on the ski slopes?) Mr. Marcharik, our new principal, was officially introduced to the students in February at the same time the new student council took their oath. Both our boys and girls basketball teams had great seasons. The Den seemed to make Warren have a great deal of school spirit, which had not been seen for a few years. The new student council started a system to find out the student body ' s ideas. Each second peri- od class elected two re- presentatives to voice their opinions about possible solutions to problems around cam- pus. The first problem dealt with was the litter. The suggested solution was Trash for Music . Several trash cans STRIPES AND PATTERNS?

It is now March, the Sadie Hawkins dance is coming up, and the theme has become some- what of a problem. Letter Woman ' s Club de- cided to have Sadie goes Toga but some students feel it would be a shame to break the tradition of Sadies being country. They have started a petition and feel that the stu- dent council can orga- nize a Toga dance some other time. Will stu- dents decide to break tradition? Spring Break is coming up soon and Warren High students will be spending it in many dif- ferent ways: some will be traveling, some re- laxing at home but whatever we do we will enjoy our two weeks off thoroughly. Soon after vacation our minds will
