Picture this: Friday night, funny white hats, clownish makeup, gloves with no hands, goose bumpy legs, bony knees. What comes to mind? No, it's not a religious cultg it's the Crockett Tex-Anns! Last May the 1984-85 drill team candidates attended a two week camp after school. Then, on the second Friday the very nervous can- didates went in groups of five or six before a panel of five judges. When the dust settled 57 new girls joined the clan of veteran Tex-Anns. The girls attended rank meetings twice a week until the end of August. Then they had a two week camp here at Crockett to prepare for the upcoming football season and freshman orienta- tion. lt was hard getting up early in the morning during the summer for sophomore Michelle Obin. 'Alt was almost like going to school two weeks early. The officers participated in a week long sum- mer camp at East Texas State University. Cap- tain Karen Schexnaydre said that they learned what their responsibilities would be as officers. Karen said that the pressure of being an officer is great, As Captain I'm the first to get yelled at, but the first to get praised. Tex-Anns are like one big family. Working together as a unit makes them the great organization that they are. They must work out during early morning class and sixth period as we . This year in particular, Tex-Anns had to do some adapting to new surroundings. The gym floor had developed a giant crack that had to be repaired several times. While the floor was being re-done, the girls practiced at Burger Center for their early morning class. A bus left at 7:O5g if a girl was late, she was left behind and had to find her own way to the work out.

Getting there was no problem, but getting back to school close to the bell made it impossi- ble to get a parking place. Untimely rains often left the field under water. This was more than an inconvenience since the majority of the halftime show was sup- posed to be done there. The band would sit in the stands and play while the girls would per- form on the track. At a few games there would be no performance at all. It was a big disap- pointment to junior Amy Shaw, you work hard all week and then on Friday night nobody even sees you. When football season ended the Tex-Anns began preparing for contest season. February 8 and 9 the Tex-Anns co-sponsored a contest at Lake Travis High School, Hill Country Dance Classic. The Tex-Anns received an excellent rating on their prop and high kick routines. Contest season is a very hard time of the year. The girls practice and sweat and then practice some more. After contest season the girls began preparing for their March 23 Spring Show. Each Class had a dance. The theme was DTV, for Dance TV. The sophomores did a dance to Eat It , the other half of the sophomores did their dance to the commercial Coke Is It. The juniors did a take off on breakdancing, to Freak-a-Zoid, and those crazy seniors did a dance to a medley of the Beach Boys songs. There was also a presentation of the seniors, and then they all sang the Tex-Ann song Friends . This was a very sad yet happy time for the graduating seniors. Co-Captain Holly Brownlee said that when she left Tex-Anns she lost a part of herself. If you don't cry, Tex-Anns didn't have much meaning to you.

utures Our students are working today to insure that they will have greater career opportunities after graduation. Looking toward the future seems to be the ap- propriate theme for the community oriented clubs at Crockett such as F.T.A., H.E.R.O. C.V.A.E., and F.H.A. Chap. II. The students apply experience toward their goals, and choosing a future. Minta Palmer, the spon- sor of Chapter II division of H.E.C.E., planned a visit to the Texas School For The Deaf. Outdoor games, cupcakes, and Valentine cards created an atmosphere of excitement for the kids, and success for the students involved. She said, The childrenls smiles were a larger reward than anything material. Giving of themselves is the concept of the clubs. Visits to the elderly, bak- ing cookies for holidays, and beneficial projects are a fraction club planning. To give someone the reassurance that you care is easy, and you may have made someone else's world a little brighter said freshman Jennifer Smith. H.E.R.O. has students working at a large variety of fast food stores such as McDonald's, Sonic, Con- ans, and Mr. Gatti's. Other students work in grocery stores such as H.E.B., and Safeway. Extra spending cash is one benefit from having a job, but having to balance school and work together is a real chore. The club helps students better prepare themselves for their Working future.. Sponsor Kay Kaiser said the students really put a lot of effort into this club, and they need to be recognized for con- tributing to society. Future Teachers of America has a member- ship of 10 students from Crockett. At state conven- tion, F.T.A. received a Distinguished Service Award for work the club president contributed toward advertising for the club. President Michelle Creasey said This is the most active F.T.A. that Crockett has ever had. Junior F.T.A., member Shelly Houston won the district office of historian for the upcoming year. C.V.A.E. has a different concept than the others. The goal of Cougar Den is to qualify students in food management. The organization consists of 30 members, and sponsor Miss Creech. The C.V.A.E. organization has catered numerous social events, and the profit is then put back toward costs. At an Area Convention held in San Antonio, senior Stan Hart placed third in food service com- petition. This dealt with the management, prepara- tion and serving of food. The C.V.A.E. program gives the students a solid education in a field they may choose to pursue later in life. Sponsor Miss Creech organized the 1984-85 Cougar Den, and has helped the club suc- ceed. Each organization has a specific field to work in, and focus on a future of more choices, and greater options. F.T.A., C.V.A.E., F.H.A.- Chapter II, and H.E.R.O. are all clubs ihwqx gm-.Q Q 9 Q Q u n 'KA .
