GIMME MY SPACE! This is my house, and as long as you're living in it . . Students don't have very much that belongs to them. Everythincg it seems is owned and rule by their parents. The few private spaces they do have, they personalize, letting everyone know it's theirs. The bedroom is about the most personal space people have, most students find this is the only place to talk on the phone with their friends or to get away from obnox- ious little brothers. Just by walking into a students room you can usually figure out immediate- ly the type of person they are. But bedrooms aren't the only personalized space people live in. If you own a car, you know what it's like to be in a hurry, and most of leur books end up in the ack seat as you rush off to class. After awhile, paper, books, trash, clothes and many other things start to pile up in the back seat and in the trunk.

With most of your books in the car, this leaves your locker almost totally empty, except for the posters and other junk. For some people, their infatuation with Michael J. Fox or Samantha Fox may cause them to turn their lockers into shrines, with billions of posters, buttons, and bandanas of their favorite actor or singer. Some people like to wallpaper their lockers with pictures of their best friends, or even turn it into a jungle with stuffed animals hanging from the ceiling of the lockers. For others, their lockers are so piled up with papers, books, trash, and more trash, that it's impossi- ble to tell what's inside.

nl in Texas! Every October, people from all over Bee County gather to participate in five un-filled days of carnival rides and cowboys, parading and pageantingi, and booths and boots t at together make Western Week. A pageant to select a Miss Western Week from 13 beautiful girls kicked off the festivities. Though the win- ner, Elvira Reyes, was from Pettus, the two runners-up, Lori Burke and Kelly Kervin were students from our school. On Saturday everyone woke up early to get a good seat for the parade. Those participating in the parade woke even earlier to get their floats ready on time or to get to the ban hall and into their uniforms. John Gaona recalled the equestrian portion of the parade most, I love horses, I get to see so many from all over the place. But for others the fun in, Western Week takes place at After waking at dawn to dress and prepare, orange clad Bonnie D'Herde and Darla Dallas strut their stuff with the rest of the Trojan band. the Coliseum. Many flocked to see the trick rides and clowns that were featured at the rodeo. The colorful booths were also a popular stopping ground to taste food like chili and Cajun cooking, or to buy jewelry and knick-knacks. There were oodles of stomach churning rides for the brave. Dances were another event offered at the Col- iseum. The best of Country- Western bands were available for anyone with a yen for two-stepping. Natives of Beeville see Western Week as a chance to celebrate their heritage, like Virginia Ybanez who said, lf you don't dress kicker it's one time to dress up. But for newcomers, it's a time to learn what it's like to be a Texan. Kathie Stone of Washington State found out, but could not unders- tand why the week started on a Wednesday and ended on a Sunday, and said- Only in Texas!
