GETTING THERE Cliff Hathcock. Sophomore, sporting the odd ’hot'' he creoted, ot o footboM gome. Philosophy Question 5 qs getting there half the fun; or was it more fun, once one hod gotten there? UUell, well, well ... To an- swer that philosophical ques- tion, one needed to listen and watch the philosophies we ver- balized and lived. Something was different during the school year '87-88. Vet, it couldn't be defined by single, pot state- ment summories; nor, could it be classified by o typical be- havioral observation. Maybe it was in the joy of seeing pocked home stonds at athletic competitions, whether we were losing in football or winning in girls’ basketball. Maybe it was in the creativity of students who dressed in odd moke-shift costumes to participate in student activi- ties. Maybe it was the fun of watching Stuco's lighted marque sign in the school’s lobby. The bigger lockers .. .? New environments like music's practice rooms, biology's green house, home-ec's up- dated kitchens, shop's ad- vanced emergency shut-down system, computers' non-glare lighting system . . .? Maybe it was within teach- er, Myra Glor's words, I feel like a 'real teacher' in a 'real school’, now!” Or was it in our student voices that went to other schools and bragged of 8HS's superiori- ty, (our tacit budding know- ledge that we were a Class School with Class Students that were intelligent, talent- ed being that could give 'em all a run-for-their-money — with the support, of course, of Class Parents and Class Patrons, that believed and supported this philosophy, too.) The answer to question 5 is within each individual interpretor. Vet, one thing could be observed. Some- thing was different. And the difference was within. UJithin the joy of seeing, discover- ing and believing our reali- ties - together, it is fun.

First student dance in new school Photo: M. Trent, Copy and Layout: C. McMillan UUhen we thought of moving into o new school, we thought of all the new facilities. UJe didn't think of school donees and activi- ties becoming new or differ- ent. Donees and Proms that were formerly In the field house, ond athletic and ocodemic banquets that were held in Mallory's cafe- teria- changed. Now, these ac- tivities could be held in OLOTnew cafeteria. Hysteria was the theme of the first donee, in the new school cafeteria. Student Council's theme was perfect for the first entertainment in the new school, for the school hod just been com- pleted, and everything was full of hysteria, because February 13 was rescheduled to February 20 because of snow. The three UUolfhounds ployed the music and they were seniors, Brian Gann, Lance Mills, and Brian Portmon. Some unexpected musicians could hove created some hyste- ria for students. Fit the lost min- ute, some SMSU musicians showed up at our dance to ploy ot the dance. Mike Stafford, Jr. ployed the drums, Jomie Beck- ner, Sr. ployed the guitar, ond Dove Mark, ployed the guitar. Jomie Beckner ond Mike Stafford both thought it was o trip to ploy for the donee - D€flNIT€LVo trip. Patti Brace, senior, sold I lik- ed the live bond, but it could've hod less lights. Melody Hayes, senior, added, I thought the mu- sic wos really good, and having it in the new cafeteria mode it sound better. Some 8HS students socializing in the hall during the donee. Mike Stafford.
