Lackey photo The last good-bye We first started out as children - unsure of ourselves and our surroundings. We sought out those who were like ourselves, and friendships were formed. Some of those first friendships have ended, but many have grown into the close relationships we now share with the people we have grown up with. Now we are considered adults; the end of our first stage of education is complete. Finally, it is the time we have dreamed of during the seemingly endless hours we have spent in classrooms. Graduation: Our main goal for the past thirteen years. Though graduation was a happy occasion for all, the tears flowed as we realized that those with whom we have shared the fullest part of our lives with will no longer be there. The hardest words said on May 25, 1983 were the “goodbyes”. Although most of us will m admit it, we will miss high schoc Elsik holds many memories for i all, both good and bad.

Strong as ever The extracurricular activity that involves the most students is sports. Now this is a broad topic and a big section. From the huge football player to the tiny diver, each have strengths and skills that are necessary in his or her particular athletic field. With nine different sports offered, the students and the coaches stay busy at the gym, complex, track, and natatorium. Because we arc a 5A school, our competitors arc the largest Houston area schools. Our district 17-5A includes the six Spring Branch schools and of course, our oldest rival. Hastings. The newest sport came this year with soccer; both boy’s and girl’s programs were introduced to the Alicf schools. Team sports as usual drew the biggest crowds for old time favorites such as football, volleyball, basketball, and baseball. Individuals strove for personal recognition in such events as track and cross country, golf, tennis, and swimming and diving. With the constant backing of the administration, and faculty and student body, sports always receives the support it needs to thrive as one of our most developed programs. by Bren a Baumann Warming up for another good game is Janna Walker, Junior.
