Our events throughout the year was as varies as our opinions. When anyone mentioned the word school, the first thought was books and homework and more work. Somewhere along the line, we were able to cast aside the piles of notecards for our term theme, the maps we had to color for history, and the forty stated problems we had li to drag through for math. We indulged in pep rallies, hung out at the football games, spent a wild weekend living on the edge, and danced the night away at the dances. . . . remember the spaghetti stain you got on your formal at the 2125 ' night of the homecoming dance, the first time you went to a pep 4 rally and saw a cheerleader mess up on her routine, the football game that you sat through while it was raining . . . All of these were just little incidents which made each event we participated stick in our memory. As one eventually learned, if Wil school wasn't all work and no play.-Nicole Sanders

Summer '86 66 PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. The Var- sity cheerleaders per- fect one of their pyra- mids at an early morning practice held during the summer be- fore their camp at SMU on August 4th through the 9th.- photo by Amy Lee - 'A W'4' fv ff 2- ' ov F rx A iff' ' SJ 1. , ,., fx'-3 Cni' .- r of 0 ractlce makes perfec orning already? thought the band members, year- book staff, foren- sics, R.O,T.C., and cheerleaders as they forcefully pulled them- selves out of the comfort of their warm beds into the coldness of the early morning. The cheerleaders attended early morning practices beginning at 6:00 A.M. to prepare for the up- coming workshop. Junior Heather Flemin said, Although it was hard to get up because it was still dark outside, it was a lot easier to practice in the morning because we were fresh and not worn out. The long hours of perfecting their routines paid off when they re- cieved all blur ribbons at the Southern Methodist University Cheerleading workshop in Dallas, Texas during the week of August the fourth. The senior and junior drum ma- jors of the band were improving their instructing skills at the Ste- phen F. Austin Band Camp in Na- chogdoches, Texas. Gayle Bit- tiker, junior drum majorette, said, After practicing for four hours, you can kick your heels up and drink a Coke and by that time you will need all the rest and relaxation you can get. Even before July, the yearbook staff and the R.O.T.C. members were at workshops and camps. The yearbook staff attended statewide workshops in Arlington at the Uni- versity of Texas and the University of Texas at Austin. There they learned the basics on layout prep- aration and graphic design in order to produce a yearbook which . I would surpass all the others. Ni- cole Sanders, the yearbook editor, said, Going to Austin not only gave me new and exciting ideas in which I could incorporate into the book, but it also gave us a chance in which to get to know each other on a friendly basis. The R.O.T.C, members were up at 5:00 A.M. in the morning, drill- ing and testing their marksman- ship at Ft. Leonard Wood, Mis- souri. As other organizations didn't begin until school started, their were a few that were willing to give up some of their winks of sleep in order to prepare for the upcom- ing year. Steve Houtz, senior, put it, It was a lot of hard work, but I wouldn't trade the good times for anything. -Nolan Atkins an 1 I ' 354' 'Ir-am. i if 9 421' t .4 g ' . 5? ggi-Nbrfziivxh?
