We like to celebrate with our end of the year Quill and Scroll dinner, Ms. Elizabeth Brammer, journalism teacher, said. Football, spring athletics, UIL, FFA - all celebrated with their banquets for partici- pants, parents and fans. Hopefully, everyone, sooner or later, gets to go to an awards banquet because receiving awards is always a great feel- ing, Wally Sinwell, junior, said. This year for the first time, the school board hosted a reception to honor all the honor roll students. OEA members wanted their employers to know that their help was appreciated, so they honored them with a breakfast. Even though the FFA held their annual banquet, they've found another merry- making event - the Ag Olympics. lt was a day-long event designed to bring together the students, parents and other community members in a fun-filled day of competition, Iimi Lynn Rosborough, FFA member, said.
