Both times when we went to Austin for ILPC workshops, we had to be on the bus and ready to leave at 5 a.m., Ienniier Elam, Wildcatter editor, said. Getting up early and leaving home on a Saturday morning may not sound like fun, but most travelers would glad- ly do it again. Traveling with a school group was always a lot of fun, especially when spending the night was necessary. It's like a huge slumber party that even had guys, Ienniier Winship, choir member, said. The road to Austin was the one most traveled by organization members. Band, choir, journalism, UIL con- testants and the girls' basket- ball team traveled there for com- petitions Loading up the equipment. Sopho- mores Kevin Mayo and Iason Starnes pack the instru- ments on the bus headed for Austin and the State Solo and Ensemble Con- test. and workshops. But everyone didn't go to Austin. FFA members journeyed to San Antonio for the Livestock Show and Rodeo, as well as San Marcos and other places for judging contests. The cheerleading squad also trav- eled to San Marcos where they placed first in the regional competition and went on to the nationals in Orlando, Florida. Also traveling south, but into another country was the Pan American Club. The group went to Nuevo Laredo, Mex- ico, where they spent the day shopping in the market and tiendas fstoresj.

We got to ride on a boat and everything, Chad Boyd, junior, said. I 5,113,555 .fre-nv 1 On the Road -' 1,9- !!y -' W- xx f

Competing can take a lot out of a person, but the backbreak- ing hours, hard work and ded- ication can all account for the tremendous ability that the stu- dents in these organizations have shown.
