Tammy Bell, Polly Bell, Lisa Lammell, Stacy Crawford, Kathy Nicastro, Tina Cruz, Shannon Busher, Michelle Lamane, Sabrina Shepherd, Devon Gray, Donna Hicks, and Cari Thomas received as much as S16 per game by seating spectators and providing needed assistance to people who attended such sports activities. Texettes played an important role in the complex's operation acting as good will ambassadors towards visitors who were unfamiliar with the stadium. This included the weekly ritual of informing startled out of town fans that the city of Irving did not allow the sale of alcoholic beverages within the stadium walls. The girls were required to work all games, with perfect attendance meriting a cash bonus to those who qualified. Before being hired, each prospect was required to submit an application along with a picture of themselves. The administrative supervisor of Texas Stadium, Bobbie Stanfield, looked over each photograph and resume before granting personal interviews to the applicants he felt would best represent the stadium organization. In addition, friendliness, efficiency, and knowledge of the complex's structure were considered important in the selection procedure. My ' . , ,X ' ' in 1 -' I, , - .

coaniifdl Chooses Cllumws Sijpomsorr Younglife, a Christian organization, taught teenagers to become responsible young adults. The group met every Wednesday night at 7:30 in an empty building across from the Brown Bag Restaurant. The club, comprised of over 250 members, strived to bring students closer to God. New Younglife Director Rob Shultz, with the help from former leader Paul Gettimiere, arranged for the group to go on a ski trip to Purgatory, Colorado, during the Christmas vacation. To help raise money for their adventure, the group played a ten hour volleyball game in which they were sponsored for each hour they played. At one meeting, several male members participated in a fashion show where they modeled the sleeping attire of various females in the group. Tad Wilson, Rick Ward, Jack Hands, Mike Wilson, Jeff Williams, and Jeff King donned the night clothes of Hollye Bozeman, Amy Cruse, Karen White, Karen Deen, Holly Dearing, and Tara Dearing, Senior Derek Blake, a three year member, stated his views about Younglife by saying, It's a great organization with a lot of great people. Younglife is a lot of fun and it's an excellent learning experience. Left: Suzy Mason practices her music during strings class.

Before gaining the opportunity to capture the trophy, the squad defeated numerous local teams, won the Metro Tournament at Southwest Park in Irving, and the Southwest Regionals held in neighboring Duncanville. In New Mexico teams from Tennessee, Washington, Nebraska, Texas, and California tried to defeat the fast hustling Lil' Sports, but were unable to do so. The final game in the national tournament went into nine extra innings but the Texans came out on top as Hertenberger scored the winning run. Following their victory, the team accredited much of its success to the large amount of support they received from the people of Irving. In regard to the entourage they developed during the course of the season, Huitt elaborated, It was really great to know there were people watching you who really cared and wanted you to do good, Before making the trip, the girls had to Above Left: Sponsor Annie Hall, Ronda Sandifor, and Jennifer Heaton converse during the Art Club Breakfast at the International House of Pancakes.
