Outrageously Out of This World: Introducing the Class of 1 986 The class of ' 86 considered themselves unique in their own outrageous way Sophomore Melissa Biondo described them as crazy, always having a good time and very outgoing; they are leaders and we would be lost without them! The seniots felt they were a united doss. They ' re a keeno- groovie, partyin ' group, said junior Amy Fisher. We were all buddies and not divided into groups, said senior Lisa Mayfield. Sophomore Fred Hautman said, You can talk, laugh, and hove a blast with a senior; I can ' t waif un- til I am one! The seniors made it their goal to be remembered, not only by students, but by their town. They accomplished the un- thinkable with pizazz and memorable adventures. For ex- ample, Summer camps where all rhe rules somehow were broken, said senior Alisa Guerrant. When I drove into four ditches in one night, said seniot Lisa Matocha. When I left Galveston at 1:30 a.m. and woke up in my dtiveway at 3:00 a.m., not remembering rhe time in be- tween, said senior Garner Geisler, When I fell down rhe stairs and into o bucket of water, said Yolanda James. The imaginative senior was ready for the world. They have a great future ahead of rhem; more so than their predecessors, they wete interested in their world, said Mr. Frank Sransfield, government teacher. He was sure rhat they will know which path to follow for happiness and success! To some teachers and ad- ministrarots, the seniors left a nightmate, but mostly they left four outstanding years and a uni- que, outrageous memoty; they were rhe Class of ' 86.

You ' ve probably seen her laughing in the halls or cruising in her convertible. Jimilou Sreambarge, senior, has two uni- que and equally challenging jobs. She is the yearbook editor on one hand and the crazy, amusing and energetic Gator mascot on the other.

She spends much time planning the yearbook ond organizing 27 staff members. When the staff attended Sam Houston State University Journalism Workshop this summer, Jimilou received several awards and a scholarship. I enjoy working on the yearbook because it contains the memories of our high school life. Bouncing, cheering and dancing in the green fuzzy Gator suit is Jimilou ' s second pasttime. She said being mascot brings out her love for peo- ple and making them happy. When I have on my Gator suit, I take on a new personality. I enjoy promoting spirit and shaking my tail at the crowd. Jimilou concludes, I thank the cheerleaders for helping me through my year in the green fuzzy suit. Seniors 59

Chandler believes rhor rhe class of ' 86 gets along real well, kinda like the class of ' 83. He said that the seniors are nor in as many little groups as seniors in rhe pasr. ' ' He also said, We have some really crazy people in our class. Some of his associares go on wild camping safaris on rhe weekends. He believes rhar this pracrice is complerely unconstitutional and those campers should be apprehended immediately.
