THE BIG PICTURES A NIGHT I'LL NEVER FORGET Tonight's the night! My en- tire day was spent finishing decorating the gym and mak- ing the sign that said Welcome Kids of America to Kids in America to welcomethe audience to the Yearbook entertainment. As I got to the school, I saw cars filling up the park- ing Iot. Everyone was arriv- ing to see the show. I finally managed to enter-even with all the pushing and shoving. As I sat down, the lights dimmed and a spotlight appeared on Junior Bridget Stauffer and Sophomore Mike Hoover. They told stories about teenagers of the present and of the past. It was great! The skits included our own foot- ball team members doing a rap called the Trojan Explo- sion, our Key Club portray- ing the teenagers of the o d west, the Trojanettes perfor- ming to disco tunes of the 70's, and finally, the Student Council performing a skit where Victor Acepcion and Wesley Hensley get lost in the 50's. After the entertaining part of the show came all of the formalities. All of the beaus and sweethearts, senior favorites, and Who's Who were recognized. After that, I walked over next door to the glym to be entertained by t e Sure Thing. The first thing I saw when I stepped in was a soda shop fthe snack barl, made by the cubbies and the newspaper staff. Walking further in were dif- ferent scenes from different time periods, also made by the cubbies. The first thing I did when I went in was to get in line to take pictures with my friends. Before I stepped on the dance floor, I had to take my shoes off. And there was no one to hold them! Anyway, after a little dancing, was kind of thirsty so I decided to go to the soda shop and get an old-fashioned bottle of Coke, but decided against it and got a chocolate shake instead. The night was a good one for me and all of my friends. I know it's a night that we won't forget. -Cheri Paishon .Y X , , In this skit, Sophomore Bernard Ben- net raps his stuff while Senior Rob Fullington dances in the background. is Ii Z

Homecoming THRILLS . . . Trojans KILL!!! ,Y Have you been to the Lemon Tree? They have the most gorgeous dresses! No, but has Robert asked you to Homecoming? Not yet, isn't he so cute? I'm dying for him to ask me! I sure hope we win ... this is the big one! Anxiety, excitement, joy, and maybe even frustration accompany one of the most thrilling times of the year . . . Homecoming. Much commo- tion typified the week, in- cluding two events that would prove to build the students spirits. After a night of scavenging wood for a bonfire, students began to see a bright light on the night of Wednesday, Oc- tober 15, which signified the student bodies' devotion to helping the Trojans burn up the Ftobstown Cottonpickers. Next, a lot of footstomping and ear piercing noise was made to push the Trojlans onto the field with not ing but victory in their hearts. But victory wasn't the only thing on students minds: Homecoming was also a big day for special dates. The couples were formed and plans were made as the boutineers and corsages were ordered and the dresses and suits were bought. Nothing could compare to the excitement of the Homecoming nominees, though, as they awaited the night when the Homecoming Queen would be crowned. Escorts and nominees practiced on the field the route they would have to walk for t e big night when they would be selected as princess, duchess or a Carlos DelaGarza walks proudly by Anne Treadwell's side as she is an- nounced this years 86-87 senior princess. Junior princess was Allison Martinez with her escort Steve McBrayer, Sophomore princess was Crystal Lazenby with escort Travis Tindol and finally the Freshman princess Jennifer Ramirez was escorted by Giz Selby. Senior Homecoming Court: Anne Treadwell, Amy Matteson, Amy Bomersbach, Angie McTee, Stacey Dickey, and Kelli Belew. Their escorts were Carlos DeIaGarza, Jason Brady, Jaime Ortiz, Jim Salazar, Victor Acepcion, and Scott Smejkal. lad -in-waiting. inally the practicing was over and they were ready for the real thing. Huddled together on the sidelines with crossed fingers they held their breath as they were announced one-by- one, until Kathy Cantu was remaining, our 1987 Homecoming Queen! l didn't think I would make it because of the com- petition. When they were calling out the Sr. Homecom- ing ourt, that's when I started to get real nervous. And when it was down to two of us and they called out Anne Treadwell as Senior Princess, I was happy and relieved that it was all over. l guess you could say that my high school years have been the best! The field was then cleared as the fans cheered on the Trojans to a victory! Our var- sity players Ied the Cotton- pickers on a wild goose- chase as we scored touchdown after touchdown to finish off the night with a 46-0 finale. A crowd of happy students and elated football players then proceeded to the col- iseum where Country Breeze played for our Homecoming Dance.

MQW? Just lounging around the soda shop are Benny Dixon, Wilson Ng, Meribel San Miguel, and Marie Chambless. The workers are Ofelia Mata, and Stephanie Carter. The gym was filled with wall-to-wall dancers as they listened to the Sure Thing. Sophomores Klrk Towns, Glz Shelby, Kirk Dembo, Tony Roberts, and Jason Tindol just wanted to show what cavemen they are by standing in front of one of the scenes at the Annual dance. ln the 50's skit, Student Councilers Austin Brown and Cami Bremer act surprised when Kelli Bremer tells them they won the dance contest, while Kirby Warnke watches.
