JETS j Tl'iVi3 and TBCII Trivia was a big part of prep bowl competition. Members of the prep bowl team had to an- swer questions that many other people would not begin to know. Althoughcompetitions with other schools were cancelled, the team did have its annual student- teacher contest May 4. This year's contest was unique in three ways. For the first time in the history of the student-teacher competitions, the score ended up in a tie. The final score was 435.' Also , for the first time, family members were pitted against each other, as Sandra Crawford, language arts department head, for the teacher's team, went against her son Steve Crawford, freshman. Richard Golanko, prep bowl sponsor and competitor, and Glenn Barnhill, math teacher, agreed that the audience was the best ever. Students were chosen for the team at the beginning of the year. A number of tryouts were held to insure getting the eight best people. So many tryouts were held in case a student may have had. an off day at one of them. Crawford was honored with being one of only two freshmen to ever make the team. Catherine Haney, prep bowl sponsor, said, The best com- petitors read a lot and are in- terestedin things around them. They pick up facts and store them for fast recall. The Junior Engineering and Technology Society, more com- monly known as JETS, was a club for anyone who was in- terested in science and math. According to Linda Perez, club sponsor, the organizations pur- pose was to acquaint students with the types of careers found in the engineering and science fields. There were 97 students in the club. They were exposed to various careers when guest speakers attended meetings and spoke on their specific lines of work. JETS also took the oppor- tunity to attend Career Day at Texas A 81 M early in the year on their annual trip to College Station. 5 Coach Mike Morgan leaves the scoreboard in a first ever 435 tie Catherine Haney, prep bowl sponsor, reads the questions to the contestants.

Trying Our Best This year's staff was one of the largest ever, but only because we needed the extra people to finish the book. When we paste it up ourselves we need all the help we can get, explained Ann Brannen, year- book sponsor. For the most part, the staff began in a productive way. Thev worked very hard for the first part of the year and met the first deadline which had not been met in several years. With only two photographers, and one not being in yearbook class, we had kind of a hard time getting the pictures we needed when we H., -., , .J . .

Sometimes l won- dered how everything would get done, but we managed. This yearbook was the last book to contain so many color pages due to the increase in production costs for film and printing in the factory. Taylor Publishing company printed the book which reflected many hours of hard work. Brannen said that her favorite thing about the book was the color tip-in of pictures that honored the many sports teams that went to district play. My 2 pride and joy of this yearbook was the excellent photography that we had on the division and sports pages. I also think that layout and design was at its peak this year, added Bashara. Sheryl was very creative and well organized. She was ex- cellent in being able to work with the typesetter to get unique designs and effects. I got Sheryl into my program when she was a sophomore to be strictly a typesetter, but she was so good she quickly learned everything about yearbooks. She had all the qualities needed for an excellent yearbook editor. Nu.
