Cherri Michelle Reveal Thoughts on Unexpected Tie Imagine what it would be like if most everyone in your grade thought of you as their favorite person. “I was in one of my classes and my teacher was reading the announcements. He read the class favorites and said I had won. Someone patted me on the back and said congratulations. I didn’t expect it. I was really surprised! said Cherri Allen. Junior Michelle Williams plans to go to Houston Baptist University and study to be an English teacher. Everyone's favorite person, she laughs. David Perez’s goal in life is to attend the University of Texas and be a lawyer. Melissa wants to be an accountant. This was a special year for junior class favorites because there was a tie. I don’t see how it could have been a tie when there were so many votes. I’m sure Michelle got more votes than me! Cherri Allen thought. It doesn’t bother me at all, I voted for Cherri, she deserved it. said Michelle. Sophomore class favorites Elliot Segal and Melissa Herzog stand at Elliot's locker.

Spiller Many Students Planning On U T On October 17. students and parents from Elsik and Hastings milled about in both cafeterias with intentions of planning for the future. Elsik has sponsored an annual college night ever since its first senior class. Representatives from institutions such as Princeton, Cornell, and UCLA come every year to “sell their schools by way of pamphlets, slides, and lectures. Though the purpose of this night was to review the options for further education, the students also socialized. An obvious interest in the University of Texas was expressed when both sessions of the UT lecture in the North LGI were filled to capacity. UT’s popularity was further expressed by students' comments. “I want to go to UT because of its capacity for a well-rounded education as well as an opportunity to meet a lot of people and have a great time. commented Junior Michael Veomett. “I plan to go to UT because they are (among the) top ten in the nation as far as education goes. said Senior Teri Packard. “I like the Plan II Liberal Arts Program. specified Senior John Christ. “There are special accelerated courses not normally offered. Other choices for college varied. Junior Mary Villareal wants to attend Oral Roberts University “because it is Christian.” Senior Kelly Fordyce plans to go to UCLA. “It offers a wide variety of programs and is in a different environment. Then, of course, she added, there's always the beaches and the guys! Some had more definite plans. “I know the whole SMU campus like the back of my hand.” explained Junior Shannon Wimmer adding that he used to live right across the street from it. I'm going to Rice. said Junior Noel Orsak. I want to be in the Senior Architecture Building. Then I want to go to an American college in Europe and study international business.
