Laurie Sedita,.Good Sportsmanship League The first two years of high school, I didn't think I had the capabilities to be at the top of the class, so I didn't really take my grades seriously, was the comment made by Laurie Sedita about her Trailblazer academics. Academics and activities such as volleyball, Longhorn Council, GSL, Mu Alpha Theta, cheerleader and Latin Club were obviously important to Sedita who ranked in the top twenty in her class. According to Sedita, Being in Latin gave me the confidence I needed to be successful. Sedita has traveled many places in the name of this school. ln her senior year, Sedita was chose to attend the Youth Advisory Convention in Kansas City, to represent the Good Sportsmanship League. She claimed that you will remember the activities you were a part of, not the academics you had to take. Get involved in everything and if you don't get something you want, just keep trying. ff'w 'K fi-f J 'V 2 Beverly Hays, Youth for Christ President Being the president for youth for Christ was a big job, but one Beverly Hays felt she could handle. She felt that if you participate more, you open up more trails for yourself. She has been a member of the Longhorn Council and was chaplain her senior year. Hays thinks everyone should not limit themselves and get involved. Meet and get to know people and things, commented Hays. Hays planned to attend college after high school and minister through sign language for the deaf. Kelly Krafick, Student Body President Trailblazer was a very big honor, stated Kelly Krafick. After receiving many honors since her freshman year, Krafick felt honored at being recognized for her accomplishments. She was elected into Mu Alpha Theta as a sophomore, participated in band as flag corp captain in her sophomore and junior years. Krafick's senior year was her most important and most memorable. She was selected as the Daughters of the American Revolution representative, Valentine Princess, and Good Sportsmanship League member. Krafick's greatest honors were Homecoming Queen and Most Likely to Succeed. She was also elected as student body president by the entire student body. I wish I had more time to bein more clubs, was Krafick's only complaint. She was planning to major in accounting and marketing at Texas A 81 M University Trailblazers 275

Lisa Cosentini,DriII Team Colonel I guess my most important honor was being colonel because it led to so many other things, like Trailblazer, was Lisa Cosentini's comment about her high school career. Cosentinl has kept busy throughout the four years with cosmetology, Lariaettes, Longhorn Council and the Muscular Distrophy Association. Cosentinl has been a three year member ofthe Lariaettes. She was lieutenant her junior year and colonel her senior year. Mrs. Moree introduced me into MDA and I am proud to be a part of it. said Cosentinl. She plans to attend San Jacinto under a dance scholarship. Bose Hadash, Drill team president Get involved as much as possible, were the words Bose Hadash believed in most. She was involved in organizations for her four years and wished there could have been more time to participate in other things. Hadash was a three year member ofthe Lariaettes. Her junior year she was elected historian and her senior year president. She was in Mu Alpha Theta for three years as well as French Club. French Honor Society president consumed some of her time for two years, and was a two year member of National Honor Society. being named Trailblazer was a big honor, she replied, I was really suprised. Hadash planned to attend Texas Women's University as a physical therapy major after high school. Danny Brewster, Senior Class President Danny Brewster said upon being named Trailblazer, that it was an honor that was more hoped for than expected. I tried to do everything well that I attempted. I ran for president because I wanted to be involved in our student government and to have fun. Brewster was a member of the Longhorn Council and the varsity football team. He aided the Lariaettes as an escort on trips and helped out on stage, as well as behind it during their Spring Show. I think that anyone coming into school should set their goals high and try to reach them every day, but most of all have fun! High school memories will be of all the fun you had, not of the schoolwork you had to do. 274 Trailblazers

Robbie Mellnder, Drum Major I always wanted to be drum major, but ifl hadn't have gotten it I would have stayed with band anyway. Rdmhle Mellnder believed that he personally blazed a trail by bettering the band as a whole. 'By being drum major for two years, I had more time to do stuff with the people. It helped me to teach them to work with me or whoever directs them when they pIay. Mellnder spent a little extra energy on his academics as well as band. If I had it to do again, l'd probably spend even more time on grades. l've got a music scholarship to get through college on, and I'm really thankful for that. Melinder's band accomplishments included two years as a member of the First Wind Ensemble and Region band, as well as three years playing for a district band seat. ln his senior year, Mellnder was chosen as a representative for the Junior Ftotarian Association. Leon Coe, Basketball Team Captain Basketball consumed most of Loon Coe's interest for his four high school years. He was on the freshman team, during his sophomore year he played on junior varsity and after playing with the varsity team for a year he was voted as team captain his senior year. Coach Scott Talton was a driving force for me as he set the tone by telling us that you have to work hard to get good at something, nothing comes easy. I tried to set an example for the other guys. We all played together for so long that when we hitthe court we were like chemistry. I guess that's how we got to district. Coe's personal goals were to do well in sports and academics. He was a three-year member of Mu Alpha Theta and Longhorn Council, and in his senior year he was in National Honor Society and voted as Most Dependable. If I were to go through this againyl might have run for an office to be more involved, or I might have taken it easier, . . . who really knows? Scott Moon, Roundup Photographer I think that getting involved in your school is the best thing you can ever do. lt seems that in school, as in life, the people who are looked up to are the ones who are making a contribution, and it's hard to make any kind of contribution if you're not involved. More than anything, getting involved makes memories, and if you don't have memories, your high school years were spent for nothing , was Scott Moon's explanation about high school life. It always helpsto be somebody! Moon made his mark on this school by being one of the five Merit Finalists for the National Merit Scholarship. He held the position of head photographer for two years, something that has never been ac- complished before. l enjoyed photographya lotand luckily, I was good enough to become dedicated to it. I wanted to be really good because it's a challenge. Moon was chosen for National Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, the Latin Club, JETS vice-president, and Quill 81 Scroll. 276 Trailblazers
