Today, Thursday the 22nd of September, we are gath- ered here mourning the death of Aldine Senior High's poor, defenseless, helpless football team, stated Minis- ter Keith Kizer. He continued, A couple of months ago several coaches and officials got together to schedule the '77-78 football season. After announcing to Aldine's head coach that they would play North Houston's, Big Red Brain Scramblers, CMacArthurJ, on September 23, the coach broke down in tears. He had to be carried out to his pick- up truck. Well that night of the 23rd arrived. You could look across the field and see fingernails falling everywhere. The game started. One by one Aldine students were carried off the field. Finally the game ended. MacArthur had killed Aldine. The Bible says 'Ye shall not harm ye own body,' fmeaning you should not do something if you know it's going to kill youj. For Aldine it was just like stepping out in front of a truck. PlTYl As Keith was making his speech, the crowd cried as loud as they could. Continuing down the hall they sang, The Old Gray Mare. Senior class officers organized the Mustang funeral. Members of the football team, band, choir, and a few oth- ers also helped. Kathy Kitchens provided a black casket while Dina Valdez lined the inside of it with light blue material. The paper dummy which was carried inside the casket was made by Debbie Bavilla. The neatly made headstone, that was carried behind the casket, was pro- vided by woodshop students. During first period the services started. As they walked up and down every hall, the band played while everyone else sang and played their Kazoo's. As students came charging into the hall the mourners stopped and held sewice after service. The casket was laid in front of the office so everyone could go by and pay their respects. 'We are gathered here today' HERE MES ALDiNE R i Rest in peace part of the spirit during Aldine Rival Week was the funeral where a mannequin was put in a casket to resemble a defeated Aldine player.

4257 l'-uf.,--- - ' t ., six minutes llli Ulllblil Till Hlflllllllltll Rush, rush, rush! That's what you see in that panic- filled six minute class change - well, but not nearly all! More goes on in the halls of MacArthur than meets the teacher's eye. As that starting bell rings, the race begins. lt's every person for himself and what happens after they leave class is their problem! As you are uncasually strolling along at a very fast pace, someone behind you hollers hurry up as he shoves you into a crowd. A really physical person in the crowd then slams you against a locker just in time to intercept a set of hot, clammy lips attempting to give somebody a hickey. R-i-n-gl Well, there goes the infamous tardy bell. As you stagger into class, the voice of authority Cbetter known as the teach J fills the room and you try to explain the unfavorable circumstances which you have just encountered. That's not a good enough excuse, says the boss as she tells you that she saw you behind the hall door with your second period girlfriend. You know your teacher's wrong - it had to be your third period girl- friend. lt's rough out there, states Debbie King. Having your clothes torn and your.shoes lost after a brief encounter with a hall intersection does not necessarily suggest that it's rough out there. But some guys do consider class change a playtime because it gives them a chance to release their hostilities - by fighting! Just as your foot steps inside the classroom door, a cold sweat breaks out all over your body -the books! Your locker's being in the 400 wing doesn't mean you can't make it. But the fact that you've been waiting all day to go to the restroom does. Well, it looks like you've done it again! l .iv 3 f A time for laughter in the 700 hall as Mr. George August explains to Mr. Rick Campbell what he has in store ' , 4 Junior Mints, Shirley Sarabia calls out Eg as she tries to sell candy for the speech Q and drama department who raised ' S1 ,000 from candy sales.
