U loyalty Friday; night brings crowning of new queen Jrlomeconiing night arrived and brought with it excitement and anticipation. Halftime during the football game was the peak of the week. The annual halftime parade took its route around the track, bringing in floats from in-school clubs, the Ex-Students Association, and the Homecoming Court. The stadium became quiet as Gwen Bonner ' s voice carried through the loud speaker. And the 1987 Homecoming Queen is Miss Carey Click. Click ' s court consisted of seniors Tiffany Homsby and Debbie Kaiser, jun- ior Jennifer Johnson, sophomore Judy Tuttle, and freshman Iris Hernandez. I didn ' t even hear it when she announced my name, Click said. I looked to see who was getting the crown and Mr. Brown (principal) and Deanna Quick (1986 Queen) were coming to me. I was shocked. The game was lost to the Bastrop Bears 0-7, but the night was not over. The Homecoming dance, Watch Us Now , carried out the movie theme from Spirit week . There was a lot of hard work put into Homecoming, Student Council member John Arriaga said. We spent many hours after school preparing.

irccstylc Skateboards and bikes burn hard and heavy O katoboards and bicycles have been around for several genera- tions and have provided entertain- ment for millions of American teenagers. But they are no longer just a means of transportation, now both are used for all sorts of stunts. Skating ' s not an attitude, it ' s a way of life, sophomore David Thysscn said. Board riders and freestylers among the student body explained that tricks were learned through the proccess of trial and error. The only thing the spectators notice is how neat the tricks looked and the occassional sight of someone over- shooting a shift of weight and fall- ing. In frccstyling you have to spend a lot of your freetime prac- ticing if you want to be perfect, so ride and not die, said junior Fred Johnson. The tricksters told stories of ex- treme frustrations met when trying different tricks desired to be learned. New tricks gave the riders variety and different variations on old tricks made possibilities of even more tricks limitless. The secret to success for frees- tylers and board riders was a dif- ficult one and known to a few who had what it took; dedication, pa- tience, a lot of skill, and the sheer will to be the best or as close as possible.
