Time of My Life Highlights of the year in sports The year in sports was an exciting one for Sylvan Hills. The Bears reached the state football playoffs for the third straight year by upsetting the 3 team in the state. In basketball, the boys' team snapped a 38 game losing streak when they beat Joe T. Robinson 71-60. The girls' team, under the supervision of new head coach Martha Cothren. finished in the top ten and made it to the state tournament in class 4A rank- ing. The year in volleyball was topped off when the Lady Bears placed second in the 4A North conference tourna- ment and won a spot in the state tournament. The Cheerleaders won second place in the state and went on to national competition in Dallas. The new Dance Team was also invited to nationals in Florida. The year in sports was best summed up by junior John Scott when he said: The glamour and accom- plishment of this year in sports wouldn’t have been possible if it hadn't been for the devoted fans, the out- standing coaches, and that neverending Bear spirit. — by Miranda Perkins and Kelly Hurst The year in sports ivas a great one all over Sylvan Hills. The girls' basketball team was one of the highlights of the fall season. With five starting seniors on the team and a new head coach, the Lady Bears pushed themselves to a spot in the top ten and the all- state tournament.

type of music you to has a great to do with what of person you ft You've got your own BEAT Music is a reflection of people's personalities. The type of music you listen to has a great deal to do with what kind of person you are and the things in life you enjoy. junior Sonya Mar- shall said. Most students agree that music can influ- ence people. In some cases, music does influence peo- ple. Christian music makes me happy. It in- fluences me in a good way. Hard rock influ- ences some people in a bad way. It can lead them to drugs, senior Karin Scharfenberg said. Sophomore Shelby Hudgens agrees with Scharfenberg. Some songs really make me think, some make me depressed, and some make me want to dance. For some students, the most important as- pect of music is the beat. Heavy metal is the best music because it has a stronger and better beat, Hudgens said. Junior Robert Stiles said, I like soul and rap music the best. I like the sound and it's got a good beat. There is a wide variety of music ranging from pop and jazz to rap and heavy metal. Scharfenberg likes pop music the best. “It's fun to sing with and it's easy to dance to. It just makes me happy! Junior Randee Gibson said, My favorite mu- sic is hard rock because I can relate to it. It gives me a feeling of relaxation after being cooped up in school all day. 116 Mini mag by Jenny Jurasek
