At banquets, in tournaments, Kats review year's goals, achievements In the last month of the year, sports closed their seasons with tournaments; clubs honored members, par- ents, teachers, and friends for accomplishments and help during the year. With year- books expected in the fall, friends and classmates sign- ed autograph supplements and said farewell. Looking ahead to 1976-77, candidates campaigned for offices in student body and clubs. Cheerleaders and pom pons tried out and were se- lected. Books were bought and sold. Seniors practiced and counted off the last day. Chairing assembly for student body election is President Dale Howard. Successful candidates were Adolph Benavidez (taking stand from sponsor Don Pena), vice- president; Adam Luna, president; Wyla Hooper, secretary; one unidentified candi- date for squad of eight cheerleaders; and Nora Vega for treasurer. M.A.Garcia, top discus girl at State, receives medallion from Town Kats' President Mrs. Carrie Crum. For autograph supplement signing, floors, chairs, walls were desks; in- teresting postures could be observed.

flowers and gifts Crowns began to go out of style, but not flowers and gifts, or sweaters and jackets, which favorites received during the year. For Homecoming, sponsored by the student council, the classes chose princes and prin- cesses as attendants to the senior royalty, and the cheerleaders and twirlers ushered each couple down the field, where at halftime of the Clifton game, preceding year's royalty—Billie Lackey and Sam Martinez— crowned Kimmie Cox and Armando Rendon. Senior runners-up were Norma Crockett, Darla Cox, Sue Ellen Shreve, Bill Cuthbertson, Dale Howard, and Hugh Nichols. At the Christmas Ball the seniors honored Melody Jones and Russ Richins as their queen and king; attendants were Patsy Quinones, Peggy Claridge, Jerry Pena, and Brad Boyd. In the spring, the FFA, FHA, and GAC elected favored ones. First, at a joint FHA- FFA dance, FHA President Melody Jones present- a sweater and a bracelet to Beau Don Pena. Runners-up were Adam Luna and Harold Hille. Then, at the GAC-sponsored volleyball game in April, President Kimmie Cox helped Beau Richard Wright into a GAC jacket. As a highlight of the FFA Banquet April 22, Wyla Hooper, Karen Fitzhugh, and Renada York received FFA jackets, Wyla being the Sweetheart for 1976-1977; and Karen and Renada her ladies-in-waiting. Finally, at the Junior-Senior Prom in late April, Julie Dozier and Bill Cuth- bertson were proclaimed queen and king. Attending royalty were Norma Crockett, Peggy Claridge, Alice Thygerson, Dale Howard, Jim Crotts, and Kirk Hooper. Queen Julie, Left; juniors' president Adam Luna, Far Right.
