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.

Up In The Attic An escape, a chance to get away and become someone else, was Brian Simmons', senior, description of drama. The Drama Club was very active this past year. The club presented their University interscholastic League one act play, Androcles and the Lion, which lasted only 30 minutes, and received honorable mention, and was chosen as alternate in zone competition. Arnold Craft, senior, who played the part of Ferrovious, and Kim Boring, sophomore, the lion, were named to the all star cast, while Jerry Marshall, senior, was given honorable mention. Other members of the cast were Veronique Stringer, senior, who played the roles of Magaera and the keeper, Coni West, senior, Lavinia, Simmons, centurian, and Juan Traslavin, senior, and Eva Lue, senior, were Christians. Sophomores par- ticipating were John Davis, An- droclesg Robert Cotrone, Caesar, Danny Arredondo, centurian, and Tim Davis, Spintho. Rachel Reeves, David Madrigal, and Kris Bowen portrayed Christians. Randa Wheat, sponsor, described drama as a class that can be taken at any time while a student was here. Drama was a fun class, but it is also an academic one, and l would like to see more students taking a year of drama, and a year of or- chestra or speech, ,that way students could have more ex- perience in different areas, ex- plained Wheat. A way to express myself, was Junior, Ronnie Smith's ex- planation of drama. Anglea Mer- curio, senior, felt that drama was an outlet for her creativity and that it gave her more self confidence.
