She was awarded Linda Voted Revie of Year Linda always has a smile on her face! stated Junior Jemmina Beltran. Senior Linda Pavlicek was a Revellier for three years and also one of the Public Relations officers. She earned several Revellier awards such as Girl of the Week and a plaque for a camp. I guess the most memorable experience I’ve had in Revelliers is winning Revellier of the Year. That really topped it off, said Linda. Along with the award came a $500 scholarship. Linda belonged to NHS and Mu Alpha Theta with a grade point of 3.9 and class rank of 25. She graduated Magna Cum Laude with honors. She also found time to work at Palais Royale in West Oakes. She sometimes got discouraged with all of her responsibility, but she said. I just keep in mind that things are going to get better. She plans to study at Texas A M in Business Administration. The Revies have made me a more confident person. I have learned to have responsibility, a good attitude, to be dependable, and also to get along with everybody. Shared Linda. By T. Murdock, Reporter.

The girl Tru was talking about is Senior Terri Bullington. Terri was a very active person who attended most of the basketball and baseball games besides every football game. She was a Revellier for two years. The Revies have really helped me to know who I am and what I can really do that I enjoy. said Terri. Even though she had a busy schedule, Terri worked at Pelican Cleaners. Among Terri’s awards were Girl of the Day at summer camp and The Football Girl of the Week Award. She planned to attend Stephen F. Austin University in the fall of 1986. Terri is an all around good Revellier who is a model to a lot of the girls.” commented Sponsor Mrs. Martin. By T. Murdock.

Cates The two words that best describe the cheerleaders are new and first.” Unabated amidst administrative and internal changes, the cheerleaders set Elsik records. On August 6 with six new members and a new sponsor, the squad traveled to Sam Houston State University. It was here that Julie Johnson was chosen to compete with ten other girls to go on to the All-American Cheerleading competition. Overall, the squad came within one point of being named the best there. In October, the group qualified at regional competition to go to the National Cheerleading Competition in Dallas on December 29. They did not place among the top ten, but were Front: J. Goeckc, L.

We didn't go expecting to win, but why not go if you're invited? There were some squads there that were just out of this world. One of the biggest changes the girls experienced was a new sponsor. Mrs. Eggers. The first-time cheerleader sponsor revealed that sponsoring is a lot more work than I thought, but it has its advantages: it can be fun at times. Junior Lisa Schultz explained the transition. It was hard at first because she was new, but as the year went on, we all adjusted, and now she had become a part of us.” Besides a new sponsor, the squad also got new uniforms. They decided on a navy uniform somewhat like a sailor suit. Yet another change took place when pep-rally themes were to be discontinued. For luck, they taped a penny to their tennis shoes . . .
