The 1984-1985 school year has had its usual ups and downs, but to me it seems the ups have been higher and the downs not as low. This year has seen new students and staff members and, I feel, the educational program has made definite progress. I was proud to see even more of our students journey to Washington, D.C. this year to see our government at work as well as many of the historical sites of our country. My personal reward has, once again, come from seeing our young people grow, develop, and learn. When you people of A.H.S. put your heart into a game and are then big enough to congratulate the team that beats you —I feel proud beyond words. When a student comes to me and is honest enough to admit what they did and accept punishment, I can’t help but feel that we have some of the finest people in the world right here in Austin.

Holly Collier tells us that “Life is fun if you make it that way.” Her school ac- complishments show three years in Yearbook, being editor this year. She was Captain of both Volleyball and Basketball, being the “most inspirational player” in Volleyball her Junior year. She ran track, was a Cheerleader and Drill Team member as well as being president of GAA. She also participated in FBLA. Life is active for Holly. David McKnight led Austin High School as Stu- dent Body President. He played basketball gaining the “Most Improved Player” award his Junior year and being Captain his Senior year. He ran Cross Country and Track as well as the Big Creek Run. Block A, Drama, FBLA, Close-up, Science Club, Yearbook, Class Offices took his time while he won awards in Who’s Who, Academic All American, and Speech con- tests statewide. The class of 1985 will certainly be remembered as a class of quality, not quantity! All five members have worked hard and long on various activities to leave their mark on AHS. In 1983-1984 they sponsored dances, candy sales, and fruitcake sales to raise $600 for the Junior Prom. They ushered in the sale of carnations on Valentine’s Day —1983-1984, Candy Canes at Christmas —1984-1985, and the showing of popular movies charging ad- mission in 1985. And Austin will never forget the last of the great Pie Eating Contests!! As their advisor for two years, I can honestly say they are really five terrific people. They have high goals that can easily be reached with the potential they have. They are all talented and are successful in their areas of interest. I only wish they weren’t leaving Austin High School in May. They will certainly be missed. I wish them all the best of everything. You’re really great!! , 4
