KVM' 'ull We Paid for It With the start of a new school year, yearbook staff members had to start the process of designing a yearbook all over again. This time some things were dif- ferent. A new sponsor with new ideas arrived on the scene. Ms. Karin Osbourn, the new MacArtair adviser, and staff members manag- ed the transition with few problems. The yearbook room was turned in- to a somewhat organized chaos. New staff members learned to use croppers. Picas were carefully measured. Copy was written and counted. Everything was running like a well oiled machine with only an occa- sional clatter. What more could be expected? It appeared that this would be the first yearbook in re- cent years to be fully paid for through staff effort. With this triumph under their belt, the staff started to reduce the debt from years past. The biggest setback for the staff came upon returning from the Christmas holidays. The yearbook room was flooded and three days time was required to clean up, sort through the mess and save all that could possibly be saved. On the lighter side, after a hectic week of Sadie Hawkins activities, 22 staff members went to Austin for UIL workshops and awards ceremonies. Highlight of the trip for all was learning that senior photographer Richard Garcia won first place in Portrait Photography in division 5A ll and Tops in Texas for the entire division. With everything going on schedule, just one thing needed to be said in the end ...WE PAID FOR IT! W' fa 'Yi T i Proud that he stil displays it for us.

Foreign Cultures Unite English as a Second Language CESLJ was made up of students who came from other countries and spoke little or no English. The club had fifty members from ten dif- ferent countries who spoke five dif- ferent languages. Members of this club worked very hard and became enthusiastic about American school life, said sponsor Mr. Gray Taylor. ESL members had many activities during the school year. The members participated in the Foreign Language Olympics where Christina Maya placed first in the girls shot put. In the spring they had a club picnic at Crowley Park and went to Astroworld. ESL met once a month, but every Friday the members stayed after school for an exciting game of basketball. Spreading a little culture, Hang Ly, sponsor Mr. Gray Taylor, Thuy Thu Pham and Thuy Phm sell egg rolls in the cafeteria during Foreign Language Week. Celebrating Christmas, American style, Van Huynh, Quan Luu and Lien Ho seem to be en- joying themselves.
