I .Z ofa Student Life is one of the most important parts of the yearbook. Through the many activities such as sports, victory dances, Homecoming, Popularity Ball, and other various events one sees the true role of the individual. No two people are alike. Each one has his own moods, feelings and friendships. There are 11 GHS organizations geared to service and leadership in the school and in the community. Not only school sponsored activities but community happenings serve as a part of Student Life. Another part of Student Life is the world and how it affects one. Student Life doesn't begin at 8:15 and end with the 3:15 belly it is a 24 hour a day activity. Students stop by the art room to sign the get well poster for Mr. Butler.

As the long summer months crept on, most students either earned more and more money working, spent numerous hours soaking up the sun's rays, or were absorbed in their favorite soap opera. But as the Debs, Gold Jackets, cheerleaders, and band began summer practice, preparations were once again underway for the annual Jaycee Jubilee. The Jubilee, which offi- cially brought summer vacation to an end, gave students a chance to renew old acquain- tances and prepare for the Sep- tember 2 opening of school. Each year the Garland Jaycees organize the Jaycee Jubilee on Labor Day weekend and this year was no different. Along with the food, rides, games, enter- tainment, Bingo games, and a dunking machine, there were drawings for such things as gro- ceries at Tom Thumb or gasoline from a local station. Proceeds from these drawings and fund raising events went to improve the community. The annual Garland Junior Miss Pageant was also held in con- junction with the Jubilee. ln this competition, GHS was repre- sented by seniors Jeanann Fer- 12 JAYCEE JUBILEE guson, Beverly Patton, Vicki Tamborello and top ten semi- finalist Linda Fain. Organizations such as the Debs, Gold Jackets, cheerleaders, band, Ollie Owl and the Key Club participated in the parade held on Monday morning. The close of the Labor Day weekend and Jaycee Jubilee marked the opening of a new school year. The Automobile Building, rodeo, Texas-OU weekend, and Big Tex are all scenes familiar to the State Fair of Texas. This year the Fair was held October 3-19. Public and Private schools from around the state were released on their respective days to attend the Fair. However, as a result of the fatal Swiss Skyride accident in 1979, and the ever threatening economy crunch, attendance was low. Some students failed to attend for more personal reasons. Jun- ior Mike Havener grunted with dissatisfaction, I think the Fair needs a little more class. Regardless of how some stu- dents feel, the State Fair contin- ues to be a major attraction. llliiucc fi-.ll-.'l 'Q ame-
