The Places We Like To Go Walking through the halls on a Friday afternoon you're almost sure to hear the question, What are you doing tonight? You'll also hearsuch answers asChili's, Mr. Gatti's, Westheimer, a concert or Windchimes. The occasion for being at a particular hangout varied. The most popular reasons were partying after a football game, being out on a date or just something to do on a Friday night. Junior Chris Broussard explained, I just like to go out and see my friends somewhere else than at school. Another popular hangout was one of Alief's many well-known parties. A party could be found by asking someone or just driving around and finding a house with a lot of cars outside it. Concerts also proved a frequent hangout. Houston drew groups such as The Police, Lionel Richie, Yes, Duran Duran, Heart, Stray Cats, Alabama and Genesis. 1 like concerts because you get to see what you hear on the radio, said Junior Missy Brown. Then, the sand, the waves, the sun . . . our old friend, the beach. Senior Rita Talastas said, The beach is so much fun because you can just load up your car with friends and go. Favorite beaches included Galveston, Surfside and Corpus Christi. By Rae Rabe, Assist. Editor Senior Patti Manry hangs out at school for cross country and soccer practice. Photo by T.

It's senior powder puff Coach Wayne Watson describing the pressures of powder puff coaching. The game, which the seniors won, brought several changes. Attracting the most attention, the change in policy about not having nicknames on players, cheerleaders, or Blue Bomber shirts upset many students. I think it worked out better this way,” commented Junior Spon- sor Mrs. Heintschel. Junior Shelly Hopkins said, I understand why they changed the rule but, couldn't they find a different way? I think most of the participants would have been willing to change their names if asked to do so.” Also, Hlsik elected their first powder puff king. The winning king, Robert Raney said, I'm glad that people at this school would pay for votes to elect me.” Senior Sponsor Mrs. Harris explained, The purpose of having a king was to generate interest in the game and to help the Senior Class raise more money.” The game's outstanding player. Senior Jolanda Jones, made a 76 yard touchdown run on a kickoff return, the longest in powder puff history. Although the final score ended up 48-24, the junior team took the defeat well. Junior Coach Rusty Skinner summed up the team's feelings, I feel sorry for the juniors next year.” By Rae Rabe, Asst. Fid. 16 Good Times Powder Puff
