One of the buses carried the wild bunch, meaning the loud members, and the other carried the quiet ones. Students said that Mrs. Arnold, who rode the wild bus, listened to heavy metal all the way up to College Station.

Armed with luggage and knowledge about physics, chemistry and biology, JETS members were off to their an- nual state competition at Texas A8zM. After they arriv- ed at College Station, members were free to do whatever they wanted to, as long as they were present for the tests. Between the exams, members visited the local restaurants such as Ben- nigans and McDonalds. They met for the award ceremony, which proved to be unsuc- cessful. Then they loaded on the buses and arrived back at J.V. at 6:45 pm that evening. Although the members did not win any awards, they said that they had a lot of fun. Senior Carol Heineke said, We probably would have been more prepared if we had been given some sort of study guide along with study ses- sions, but all in all, we still had a great time. In the Junior Engineering Technical Society, members joined for several reasons, either to help them with a science class or just enable them to get together with people that held the same interests. Ms. Dena Arnold and Ms. Linda Gross, the new spon- sors ofthe club, went to Cy- Fair H.S. with members who participated in the District JETS tournament. The district tournament proved more successful. Ms. Arnold said, The students were great and a lot of fun to work with, but they could be a handful at times. Written by- Missy Buckalew. Jars 67 .

K At 3:05 pm, a strong voice echoed through the english halls. When most students had left the building, Junior Lance Peterman, as well as the rest of the speech club, re- mained in Ms. Sharla Schmidt's english room. This was the setting of an informal practicef' Members met to listen to each other once a week, and twice a week before each tournament. Since the speech club did not have a class, difficulty arose in scheduling rehearsal times, Ms. Schmidt said. Members planned and prepared before each tourna- ment. A usual tournament started with preliminary rounds for oral interpretation and went through several cycles that, hopefully for the members, ended up in the finals. In the Katy Taylor tourna- ment, the debate team of Juniors Dominic Henderson and Bobby Ibarra won a 2nd place trophy. And at the Kingwood tournament, Junior Tracy Halbert took first place. Although the speech club faced difficulties at the first of the year, solutions were found that pleased everyone. Members were more involved in the club because of the en- thusiasm of the new advisor. She did not have the ex- perience right away, but her enthusiasm made up for it! Lance Peterman said.

Because of this extra help, Tracy won first place in prose at the Kingwood tournament.

At the beginning of the season, the girls drew names to find out who the secret pal would be. The purpose of the Spirit Club is to get the guys en- thused and motivated for an upcoming game, said Wendy Mordecai. We helped promote spirit and gave the players a vote of coniidence which fired them up for the games, said Autumn Love. Wrapped houses and a 3 a.m. trip to Jojo's for breakfast helped boost the players' morale. However morale boosting was not the only function of the Spirit Club. We exchanged gifts with the other schools before the game. It was fun to meet many new people from dif- ferent schools, said Deana Horn.
