After having the highest percentage of class members dress up for Homecoming Week, the seniors easily win the Spirit Competition. They are shown here cheering for one of their last times together at the Homecoming pep assembly. (Continued from page 19) Our freshman year was one for getting laughed at, for making many mistakes, and for learning from those mistakes. Learning how tough and well prepared you must be to make it through the rest of high school, we freshmen soon discovered how much was needed to mature and to be accepted in the eyes of our peers. As our sophomore year began, many of us felt as if we had taken a step up. Not a huge step, but a step in tne right direction. Our timorous freshman behavior soon disappeared, and our class became very involved in activities, athletics, and academics. More than half of our sophomore class was involved in something, which showed tremendous spirit and enthusiasm on our part. As that school year began to pass by, our class was struck with yet another great loss. It wasn't the loss of a game, or a locker combination, but a loss of something far more important. We lost a friend, an advisor, and a fine teacher. Mr. Donald Tellez passed away on November 8, 1984. He was well liked and highly respected. Students in his classes and even those who were not, were all touched by him. He will never be forgotten, because in some way, he made an impression on each of us. Many things were accomplished in the short time which we will recall as our sophomore year, but many more things were yet to come. Many mixed feelings and emotions were stirred when our junior year began. We were no longer underclassmen who were picked on, we were juniors who were out to make our last two years ' oetter than the first two,” and to just plain get our last two years over with, stated two seniors that remember what it was like to be new upperclassmen. In the spring of our junior year, we held the annual junior-senior prom. The theme of our prom was Tender Years, and the colors were burgundy, rose, and silver. The cafeteria was decorated with streamers and balloons in our chosen colors. A hall of arcs led our guests into the cafeteria, where a running fountain greeted them. Tables were set with centerpieces and lit candles, which set a very tender mood. Students and teachers both seemingly had a good time. It is a prom which will never be forgotten. At the end of the year our class Tost a lot of long time friends. Friends that we had gone to school with for many years. In total, fifteen students moved to other schools. As many students moved, our class soon became the smallest class in the high school. At the end of the year we also lost several teachers. Four teachers and our school counselor moved to different schools. Dr. Alex Boyd, who had been school principal, since our freshmen year, also moved to a different school. As many students and teachers moved, a sense of uncertainty fell over our class. No one knew quite what to expect in the year to follow. When our senior year began many things had changed. In previous years, our class was the largest, but at the beginning of our senior year we were the smallest. Other changes included: a new principal, the start of on campus suspension, and eight man football. One major difference was that things that we had done, and took for granted before were now more important. We no longer had a second chance. This was it! After graduating, new things will be accomplished, new friends will be aquired, and a new life will begin. We will all have gone our separate ways and begun to do different things when we will look back and remember old classmates, and the special things that made them so special to us. Then, when our ten year reunion rolls around and we all begin to reminisse, we will remember the one thing that made this year the best it could be. US!! Kenneth Windsor and Annette Garces hurry at their lockers in a crowded senior hall to avoid the new tardy policies. 24
