Sophomore Mario Davis places his painting on the wall to be viewed by visitors to the first art show. Art Show Well Received Students worked hard during the semester in Mrs. Frances-Lee Galey’s art classes to develop their talents. An art show in May was the climax of the art year as students entered their own ‘‘mas- terpieces”’ in the show to be judged. Blue, red and white ribbons were awarded in each of nine cate- gories. The categories included pen and ink, char- coal, pastel, watercolor and lettering. Rhona Nor- ris, an East Texas State University graduate stu- dent, judged the show and awarded the ribbons. Sophomore Lynise Woods won Best of Show and other blue ribbon winners were Jason Smith, Dar- rell Minifee, Lee Ann Lynch, Robin Garnish, Kevin Love, Patti Moore, Dawn Yancey, Debbie Smith, Jodie McGaha, Sheila Thompson, Sandie Holder, James McGee, Lori Labo sky, and Karen Darling- ton. Participation and turn out for the show was so good that it was hoped the art show would become an annual event.

Senior Robin Whitt Garnish prepares to swing a pinata as another art student takes her turn. Class Projects Stir Interest Teachers in many classes gave students a break from the usual notes, homework, and tests. Students enjoyed special activities that restored their interest in class subjects. French classes took time out from their studies to taste French delicacies. Senior English classes got a chance to test their acting talents as the stories, ‘‘Beowulf”’ and ‘‘Canterbury Tales’’ were portrayed. Art classes made Christmas pinatas along with numerous other art projects. Students also par- ticipated in an art show. Spanish classes had an active year as students acted out plays, sang songs and made various decorations. Bravely gathered around a table to sample snails and other delicacies are French students Craig Hawkins, David Boles, and Jimmy Mills. STUDENT LIFE 27

The Senior Picnic gives Lakita Hadnot and Demetra Barker a chance to show off their dance moves to Edward Royall. Keith Tull and Tom Hardin relax and enjoy their meal on the hood of a truck before joining the activities. Seniors Enjoy Outdoors This year’s Senior Picnic was again held after the Awards Assembly. Seniors and Junior Ushers trekked out to R. H. Lee Park to enjoy hamburg- ers, chips, cookies, and Cokes. Despite a cloudy day and cold water, seniors showed no mercy as they threw classmates and sponsors into the lake after lunch. Frisbee and socializing also were popular activities before a large group left for a special Senior Night at Six Flags Over Texas. Serving his shift as chef, Coach John Kennedy grills hamburg- ers for hungry Seniors. STUDENT LIFE 29
