Skylites l 12 make department store teen board Having to try out to be a part of an organi- zation may be scary at times, but the possibil- ity of it giving students a chance to do ac- tivities they would not normally do allowed them to overcome this fright. This could be the case with the Sanger Harris and Joske teen boards. The teen board teaches and shows many things you never thought you would have experienced.” said Gay Nelson. Out of the many Skyline students that tried out for teen boards, eight made Sanger's board and four made Joske’s. All but two were seniors. Seniors Elise Winslow, KrisSandra Jones, Gay, Andranessa Freeney., Sonji Cato, Danielle Stephenson and sophomores Angela Barnes and Resa Hall were on Sangers while seniors Melanie McCall, Rowena Sioco, Rhonda Rivens and Tracey Walker made Joske's. The teen board was only open to school students and they had to try out year for membership. Teen board teaches many ideas w are helpful for the future. We learn abou experiences, grooming andresponsibil said Resa. “It is a great experience to be on a board. It makes you feel like somebody cial and that you have accomplished a gi said Elise. Teen board members help their de ments in various ways. They model shows, skits, plays and community proji When not working for their departn they have picnics, meetings and do all soi fun and enjoyable things together. Togetherness plays a big part in the board. We must have teamwork in ordi have fun,” said Angela. To some it seems like a dream come but to others it could be the start of a beginning. -KrisSandra 378 Seniors

Mock trial team advances to finals A sharp ear and a keen sense were a couple of the many qualities that helped the mock trial team make it to finals in district competitions against 22 other DISD high schools. The six member team prepared both sides of a ase and competed against Dther schools in front of udges and attorneys who ivaluated them on how well they presented .he case. The case was a civil suit in which the plaintiff felt a car had been sold to her with its mechanical problems concealed. Skyline's team consisted of seniors Davie Floyd, Daniel Benavides, I.arkie Dam. Jeff Shell and Melanie Stapp and junior Leslie Rahuba. All shared a common in interest in law. Through competitions with other teams, they got an opportunity to see how the legal system works. What they found out was that it took a lot of time and was hard work. Sponsor Barbara LaMountain was the backbone of the team. Or at least, that’s what team members thought. All members were enthusiastic about her ability to guide, teach and supervise. She, too, was enthusiastic about them. She said, “I am real proud of them. They put in many hours and worked hard. Each member of the team was prepared to serve a certain function. Not knowing which side of the case they would have to present, they had to be ready for both. Davie and Daniel were lawyers for the plaintiff, a side they could not win since the case was weighted for the defendent. Against Spruce and Adamson, they lost the case but won the round on the presentation of their side. Melanie and Jeff were the defense lawyers. They beat Roosevelt on both presen- tation and merit but found the law magnet was their undoing, Feb. 11 in the fourth round, when they won the case but lost the round on presentation. Jeff also served as a witness when the team had the plaintiff’s side. Leslie was a witness in either presentation while Larkie was witness for the defense. After going through four rounds to- gether, the team felt that they were much more aware of the way the law works. Larkie said. “The things I got out of being on the team was satisfaction and the good experi- ence of winning after working so hard. •Lydia Owen Davie and Daniel review their notes before be- ginning their case against Adamson. Skyline won on presentation most of the time although they may have actually lost thecase. They were second in district before the finals. Photo by B.

Stapp Team effort is of the essense to even consider winning a competition. Melanie and Jeff work at preparing their notes for the defense against the Law Magnet. This loss gave them a third in city.
