Within a school there is a rhythm that underlies the activities that occur. During the suh- ' mer the rhythm is quiet and slow with occasional bursts of speed and noise as teams practice and some students attend summer school. Just before school starts the rhythm is usually slow once again. During July and August many ad- ministrators, teachers, classified staff and others worked feverishly to get the brand-new West Covina High School ; dy for the ' 88- ' 89 school year. T ' ? Interim govern- ment members, .ASB director, counselors, and registrar put in long hours registering students to Bulldog Country . Once again students of West Covina were re- united on one campus. The spirit and beat of our school roared louder and stronger than ever. The first days of school are al- ways nerve-racking for some stu- dents. This year everyone ' s heart- beat was faster than usual. Seeing new faces and meeting new people made palms sweat and the adren- alin flow a little faster. As classes began, the tempo ebbed and flowed, starting slow with the early morning-zero period, accelerating to a loud and fast beat at nutrition and lunch. After school the inten- sity of the beat depended on the part of campus you were on, quiet in the halls, fast and loud at rallies and games. Always, the beat wei on. As the year passed, the mar school activities, such as spor events and dances, continued 1 build the beat and caused excite chills to go up and down student spines. The latest gossip and fac affected student life, and kept th new beat pulsing. As school cart to an end the vibrations of the be; could be felt in ever increasing mai nitude as the seniors anxious! waited for . . . The Final Day! Bein part of the new beat was over fc some and just beginning for other 4 Theme

Other well-attended concerts were OMD and Oingo Boingo. Vacation wasn ' t the same with- out taking a trip. Elizabeth Langley traveled to Scotland while Ricky Valbuena went to England.

Fast food restaurants, de- partment stores, markets, and the mall were full of teenagers earning those extra dollars. Odd jobs like construction work and doing inven- tory were also filled.
