Living Up to ldeols: Mr. E: Miss CHS Spending day and night ei- ther at school or school-related functions definitely makes for good all-school favorites. In a popular vote election, seniors Kraig Ware and Cheryl lack- son were elected Mr. and Miss Cl-IS, representing what stu- dents believe to be the ideal students. I try to make Coppell a win- ner in all sports and represent the school as best as I can by putting forth my all, said Kraig. Kraig is involved in football, basketball, and track, not to mention Destiny and Basic, choir groups at First Baptist Church of Coppell. Being chosen Miss CHS is an extreme honor and I feel undeservingf' said Cheryl. I love CHS and will remember it forever. Cheryl is involved in volley- ball, basketball, tennis, and softball. She is also a member of NI-IS and FCA. Though Kraig and Cheryl are looked up to, even they have embarrassing moments when they wish that all eyes weren't on them. It was just after Coppell had scored a basket during a home basketball game, said Kraig. I was so psyched up and had been hustling during the game, that I grabbed what was supposed to be the other team's ball. When I tried to throw it in to another Cowboy, they were all at the other end of the court. So I threw it all the way down and helped the op- posing team score. In addition to all the embarrassment I felt, the referee gave me a 'delay of game. Cheryl commented, I was so embarrassed when one of my teachers told me to stop chewing my gum like a cow. After high school Cheryl plans to attend Southwestern University in Texas while Kraig will play football for Arkansas State University. fa 5 REFLECTION.

la For many students, the long battle against home- work, grades, rules, and teachers began 13 years ago with kindergarten. While kindergarten was not required, those who partici- pated entered tirst grade a step ahead. With the begin- ning ot school at age tive or six, youngsters everywhere began a long climb through middle school and high school to reach the peak ot the mountain, graduation. Seniors began preparing tor graduation with senior portraits, introducing them to caps and gowns. Later in the year, caps, gowns, and tassels were purchased, and announcements, thank-you cards, and senior memory books were ordered. When the announcements were mailed out and the tirst graduation gitt was re- ceived, most seniors began to realize that high school was almost over and every- one would be going his or her separate way. Hundreds of proud par- ents, relatives, and friends poured into the CHS audi- torium doors, beginning their search tor a prime seat for the Saturday morning ceremony. The overflow ot guests watched the ceremo- ny from a nearby room, via closed-circuit television. With the traditional Pomp and Circumstancen graduates tiled in, eager to receive the recognition that PRIMPING.

The ceremony took on a person- al guality as former school board president Mrs. Bar- bara !-Xustin delivered the commencement address to her son and the other 95 graduates. Then, atter Mrs. ludi Baggett, school board president, delivered diplo- mas, each graduate re- ceived a personal word from the principal, Dr. LuAnna Stephens. When seniors turned to tace their parents in the au- dience and move their tas- sels to the other side, Mrs. Baggett declared them graduates ot Coppell High School. And so began a new phase of their lives. CHALLENGING THE YOUTH. Mrs. Barbara Austin, former school board presi- dent, delivers the commence- ment speech.
