Hot times of summer savored The summer of 1985 was a time of great fun and relaxation for most Heightsters. Favorite vaca- tion spots included Port Aransas, South Padre Island, London, Paris, and beaches of Mexico. Others chose to spend their summer at camps across Texas and the South. But the summer seemed to be cut short. In mid-August, football players began practicing three hours every day in preparation for a winning season. Spurs, cheerleaders, and band members also found them- selves working hard on perfecting routines before school started.

Towards the end of August, freshman and new students at- tended an orientation to learn the policies of the high school, and fa- miliarize themselves with Alamo Heights. Por the first time this year, stu- dents did not register for classes themselves. The administration chose to register students by com- puter instead in order to eliminate problems and save time and mon- ey. RN

me ...su H . .,.k rr , Back to the books With the start of school in Sep- tember, students were forced to leave the lazy days of summer be- hind and go back to the books. Early in the month, Howdy Week helped start the year off in a great way. Crissie Potter won the Miss Irresistable contest, while Trey Embrey was named Mr. Irre- sistable. They rode together in the traditional Howdy Night Parade which kicks off the annual event. Early in the day, rain posed a threat to Howdy Nightg but once again, this year's Howdy Night proved to be a strong moneymaker and a huge success. Renovation began on the Mule Stall in September. This much needed remodeling project was 6 Calendar funded by parent donations and volunteer workers. Just as school got under way, all eyes of the nation were on San Antonio as a train carrying thirty cars of sulphuric acid derailed in the Medina River near Loop 1604 and Nelson Road. U.S. citizens were also saddened by the news of the earthquakes in Mexico. Killing thousands of peo- ple and destroying billions of dol- lars worth of buildings, these dev- astating earthquakes were said to be the worst the world has seen in decades. Several clubs at Alamo Heights combined forces in order to raise money to aid the earth- quake victims.
