f The senior class of 1985 is a truly remarkable one. In keeping with the successful reputation of Dickinson ' s fighting Gators, over fifteen seniors were named to all district athletic teams. Outstanding senior boys as well as senior girls were selected from Dickinson High School ' s reputable football, volleyball, basketball, and soccer teams. Athletics, however, is not the only area m which seniors were successful. In DHS vocational clubs and organizations, over twenty-five seniors placed in district, region, state, and national competitions. From the construc- tion of a carburetor in auto mechanics to marching with the band on Friday nights to creating a new hairstyle in cosmetology, seniors exhibited exceptional skill and talent. The class of ' 85 also showed off thei r considerable academic abilities, with almost twenty seniors who were chosen as Who ' s Who Among American High School Students Over a dozen seniors were in- ducted into the Society of Distinguished American High School Students, and seven were chosen as National Academic Ail- Americans The class of 1985 sees a bright future ahead of them because of the DHS winning traditions that they have kept alive

J5 ' Woods, Kathy Zernow. Gary M Get Cooking The cafeteria staff is only one organiza- tion at Dickinson High School that is very supportive of the students and staff. They spend tinne preparing food to feed the many hundreds of hungry students who file through the cafeteria each day. Long hours are involved in this prepara- tion, which includes providing nutritious and well-balanced meals for all. A full day of work is involved as a cafeteria staff member, often starting early in the morn- ing and lasting until the late afternoon. Although the hours are long and the task a difficult one, the cafeteria staff really en- joys the work that they do. Shown Left to Right, Standing: Alice Parish, Faye Light. Mary Schoppe.

A lot of training and learning has to be obtained before one can be a bus driver. Drivers take a special driver ' s test and learn many safety rules to utilize on their bus. A bus driver starts early in the morn- ing. They are often on special time schedules which allow them to transport all students to their schools on time to begin their busy day at school. After school is another busy time for the drivers. They have to take all the students home after their eventful day of school. Bus drivers do not only drive back and forth to school. They attend many special trips outside of school to places all over the city of Houston and beyond. They, in turn, get involved with the kids. To many students, their bus drivers became their very close friends. Faculty 133
