or others, school never ended. There were classes to retake or traffic safety to pass. Summer school was also a good way for some students to get rid of a class on their fall schedule and meet fu- ture fellow Bulldogs! Camp was a good place to learn and have fun for the cheerleaders, songleaders, and drill team. New routines were learned and awards for excellence were given to them. Conditioning was all-important for the athletes. The football and basketball teams had grueling workouts every day. Cross-country and volleyball also worked on a rigorous summer schedule. More important than where we went, were the people we met along the way. The impressions they left with us were more mem- orable than any trip, anywhere, in the summer of ' 88. Summer Activities 9

approximately 2200 students and 200 staff members arrived at a packed and rowdy West Covina High School, September 8 to begin the new school year. Students sat anxiously watching the time tick by, waiting for the thirty minutes to pass by in each class. The first day was quickly over at 11:55 a.m. At that time, most of the stu- dents and staff made their way to the HOME side of the stadium for an opening day rally. The cheerleaders, songleaders and the drill dance team performed to promote Bulldog spirit . The cross country teams and all three levels of football were announced and they pa- raded across the field in front of the enthusiastic crowd. Big Foot Rapids was wonderful, After the rally 900 students and a number of staff chaperones filed into 16 buses which were to take them to Knott ' s Berry Farm for a fun-filled afternoon.
