I THE END 18 NEAR. One famiUar way to say goodbye ts the Alma Mater. As the crowds ' fingers flow gently to the music of the school song, a certain unity is felt, a to- getherness that lasts for one brief moment. A togetherness that Is always remembered. Todd Cletenckl Closing by Roxanne Brown . . . 272 4 Pta pte U fi€i 4 Todd Cietencki ONE DIME ATA TIME. Hop- ing to make the seniors lose the Beauty and the Beast con- test. Sheila Shadrock puts a dollar into the senior bottle causing them to lose 100 points. The contest proceeds are given to the MDA. DOn-TFALL DOWN. Cheering the football team on to victory the cheerleaders create a pyr- amid as a finale to their cheer. The pep rally is held in the play- ing gym. Moments passed faster and faster as the year progressed. It was not until the year drew near to the end that the days grew longer. The weeks seemed to last forever as each class passed slowly on. But when the end finally came many eyes were filled with tears. For some it was simply the be- ginning of summer, but for others it was the end. Euery year a new class of seniors ended their high school days on the day of graduation. This year, however, they were not the only ones to leave. Ramona Ward, principal, would also be leaving the school. After six years as principal she took the position of Assistant Curriculum Director for the district. Although she was not leaving the school behind entirety, the sadness was still the same. The year had brought many Joys and many tears. The memories that each person had would stick with them forever. Whether it was playing in front of 15,000 people at the state playoffs or being one of those 15,000 spectators, the game was one that would not be forgotten. There were personal memories too. Memories that could only be shared by a few. Memories of special moments with close friends. It didn ' t have to be the most exciting thing that happened, may- be it was Just a bunch of friends getting together to watch a movie on the VCR. Maybe it was Just sitting around in a little circle talking. Whatever it was very meaningful to you. Something that would stick in the back of the mind forever. Some- thing that would be treasured forever. As the year came to a close the memories were there. I ow was a time for a new beginning, a new start, new memories. ■4g Cflarfecn Pearce 27} ... Closing SUDING Down THE RAILI Finding out he ' s moving faster and faster. ShiaLvn Harris looks down below seeing nothing but concrete. Many students enjoy relaxing and clowning around. It showed we can have fun while still working. We really Do Things Differently. Closing by Roxanne Brown . . . 270 Coiopn on The 1988 Hornet was the result of approx imateiy one years work. The yearbook staff chose to try something totally different this year and produced a backwards book. Many prob- lems and trying times were the result of this endeavor but the staff was dedicated enough to stick through it and finish the book by their final deadline of June 10. 1988. The book was pub- lished by Newsfoto Yearbooks. P.O. Box 1392 San Angela. Texas 76902. The cooer was made of a white Lithocote base material and was print- ed using a four-color process. Two 8 page flats of spot color were used. The ftrst flat was an Em- erald Green and the second flat was a processed red. The couer was designed by Ronnie Melon! with the input and ideas of the staff. The book cost approximately 25.000 dollars and sold to the public at prices ranging from $20 to $40. Seuen hundred copies of the book were ordered.

Community Here it was once again, the yearbook staffers most dreaded time of the year, summer. Why, summer? Summer was supposed to be a students ' favorite time of the year. Summer for a staff member, however, meant ads. Even if you were a veteran yearbook member ads still held a slight fear for you. Most people can ' t handle rejection once, but when you sell ads you face it W to 15 times in one day. The veteran did, how- ever, have a slight edge because most of the shyness he or she had when joining the staff quickly disappeared by the end of the first year. It was easiest to start with the people you knew, the people you knew would buy an ad. It could have been your moth- er, your father, or your neighbor. It was a way to boost the ego and make you con- fident before embarking on the perilous JOURNEY OF REJECTION. Once that option was gone it was time t a£C acU ctfi. to pound the pavement, time to find a few compassionate people who would either buy an ad immediately or at least give you a wonderful indefinite maybe. Store after store, door after door, rejection after re- jection, until finally you heard the most wonderful three letter word in the English Language YES. Those three little letters that came so infrequently meant so much to hear. Those three little letters made all the re- jections seem of little significance. Those three little words made you happy, the sponsor happy, the buyer happy, and most of all the accountant happy because the money would allow the yearbook to pay its bills so there would be a yearbook. The ads not only made it possible to sell the yearbook to the students at a decent price, but it allowed the community and its people to be recognized for their efforts to support the school.

Academics were an impor- tant part of every teen ' s life those days. Not so much sress was put on sports and those who were in sports were then equally concerned with their academics, and SAT score. Academics are an impor- tant part of our future espe- cially if we want to go to col- lege and make something of ourselves someday, Monique Moore, senior, said. Like sports, academics took up a meyor amount of time. There were so many scholar- ships and newly made require- ments to get into college that everyone was into their studies. Academics play a major role in your life. It shows the potential of what someone is capable of doing, Danny Florez, junior, said. Everyone was anxious to spend time at school and some even said they liked to learn. Academics had become a competitive field and everyone had a different style. I feel that academics is a reflection of what you can do. If you don ' t complete your studies you are obviously ir- responsible and lazy. If you thrive on your academics, you feel better about yourself and you aren ' t labeled as a ' dummy ' , Arthur Saenz, jun- ior, said.

There were a wide variety of Vocational classes offered this past year, ranging from office practice classes such as COOP. VICA, VICT. ODP. and on to the Marketing classes. Also considered Voca- ti onal are Ag and ROTC, I took ROTC because I thought it would better prepare myself for my future. It teaches me survival and how to survive in certain situations. Freshman Alex Zamora said. Vocational classes are offered to students who would like to learn more about life outside of school. They prepare you for the future whether it deals with an office Job. military, or animals. I took Ag. because it would fur- ther acknowledge me in later life pertaining to agricultural experiences due to the down- fall of agricultural problems in our nations economy today, Junior Ronnie Luensmann said. I took Intro, to Mkt. be- cause I felt it would be an in- teresting class and also so I could learn the computer. I al- so felt it would be neat to study that class and learn of the World of Business, and that I did! Senior Ronnie Meloni said. Taking a Vocational class is definitely worth your time!

It never seemed to work, no one, not even the scrawn- iest freshman could fit in a locker that size. Much to my dismay I found that the lockers we used in P.E. prov ided more than enough room to place stinky sweats, a week-old lunch, and a puny freshman. Physical Education was the class I dreaded most. So, when I glanced on my choice sheet for next year ' s courses I noticed a new one, dance. I pictured myself in a body suit, skintight, sexy. I ' d be looking sharp. Plus, this dance class was supposed to be held in the old band hall, wasn ' t it? That meant no more lockers. Dance class was the best. I ' d still have to take health to finish off the needed half cred- it, but that would be educa- tional. I liked P.E., but dance gave me a goal to reach. I want to feel graceful and flow- ing while dancing, not to men- tion lose a pound or two. We rotated every week or so, first aerobics, then modern dance. I loved aerobics. They really helped to trim my tummy. Modern dance was enjoyable because finally I learned how to float like a swan across the dance floor, instead of like a one-legged chicken. Dance proved to be my fa- vorite class of all.

General Motor Repair prepares students who wish to pursue a career in automotive repair. Taking electives some feel is a waste of time, but for those who are interested in vo- cational careers the electives offered here are not only a chance to learn a skill, but are extremely helpful in much needed job related experience. Electives offer a chance to learn more than Just reading, writing, and arithmetics. Elec- tives offer more than Just the class itself. Some of them offer a club to Join such as DECA, coming from the marketing classes. Joining the clubs themselves are an interesting experience. Some go more into depth of what the class is all about.

History always taught me about the past. I enjoyed reliving the events that made it historical. Senior Chandra Theis said. This past year students, as well as teachers, were able to have the history classes closer together which made it easier for both. All the history classes are found in the same module which makes it much easier for us teachers. Coach Lang- ston Williams said. Studying history has always been a way to escape the real world and go into another time and place. History is found all over the world in dif- ferent places which students have been able to find out. Trips all over the world were arranged for students who might enjoy finding out more into depth the history. Taking these trips will fur- ther knowledge a student on what that place is and was all about. Coach Williams said. Every year a history fair is held and many students went to state. The History Depart- ment thinks up a theme in which they want their students to develop their projects from. They are Judged and then go on from tfiere. Being in the History Fair taught me a lot about the topic I was writing on: it ' s a fun thing to experience whether you make it all the way to state or not. Chris Markle said.

ACADEMICS Academics Setting aside time makes the grade Reading long-winded, bor- ing novels seemed bad enough. Not to mention the ever so unpopular essays and tests, but there was one as- signment that couldn ' t be out- done for the Doom prize. Yes, you guessed it, the dread- ed research paper. We all knew it was coming: everyone of us aware that sooner or lat- er we would be faced to a month ' s torture. The writing is not really that bad: it ' s the hunting for information that is the worst part. It seemed like once a year you had to move into the library in order to survive. Jennifer Adams said. The unpopular assignment seemed to be dreaded by not only students, but by the teachers as well. It was a has- sle for teachers to grade the reports, then having the stu- dents coming into class and asking everyday, Have you graded our Research Papers yet? Then having to make up an excuse on why it was that they haven ' t. You have to spend a lot of time on grading the papers. Each individual one has to be reviewed and read, which can take awhile. Pam Smith said. The research paper took up a lot of time and effort for eve- ryone. To be successful took a lot of work. Many of the Eng- lish teachers felt it posed as a good preparation for students planning to attend college. Al- so, many students felt it taught them many valuable lessons that will benefit them for future use. It seems like there is once every year when the library skills we learned come in handy. I didn ' t think all of that stuff would really ever be used, but it has been, Michelle Beckman said. ChArieen Pearce Heidi Htilcherso MAKING THE GRADE.

Academics Ti i M o iCeefa Almost two o ' clock and the essay that lad been put off until the night before it vas due was only half way complete, anic took over, as you frantically tried to jet it finished so your tired eyes could get i few hours of much needed rest before ugging the stack of books back to school. s each eyelid seemed to get heavier, the vriting on the paper became more scrib- bled until finally the writing ceased and he panic was ouer — until the alarm vent off the next morning the horrid re- ilization came to you that the homework vas still not done. That was one of the many times that academics played the leading role in stu- dents ' Hues. They had to make the grade. 7ut it always seemed that the last minute was the best time to do it. That was until of course the last minute came. Whether it was actual homework or simply studying for a test, many students made excuses to make it wait til later. Later was sometimes hard to find be- cause besides having work for school, many students had other responsibilities. Going home at 3:30 wasn ' t a daily routine if you had extra-curricular activities. Be- ing a member of a club, org anization, or team meant less time available for other things. If you had a Job it became even more complicated as you had to Juggle all of your responsibilities into a 24 hour day. Sleeping was usually the last thing you allowed in the schedule. When it was there, there wasn ' t too much of it. THIS IS NO PAINT BY NUMBERS. Working diligently to create a new work of art.

Russia is much more di- verse than most people re- alize, said Arden Knight on his trip to the Soviet Union this past summer. His wife, Sherrie Knight, also accompanied him on the trip to Russia. After Mrs. Knight received a brochure in the mail to tour Russia, Mr. and Mrs. Knight de- cided to go on the trip because of their extreme- interest in the Soviet Union. There certainly was nothing fearful or apprehensive about being in the Soviet Union.

At the age of 14 he uoas per- manently expelled from school for going across the street tvithout permission to get tivo pieces of bubble gum. If I could change something in my life, it Luould be to go back and chang e my school behavior and start out earlier enjoying life, he said. Although Mr. Moss ' Job at the moment is handling the Campus Alternative Center (CAC) he has held many different Jobs. A broadcasting Job caused Mr. Moss to move to Missouri where he met Ronald Reagan, when he wasjust a sports broadcaster. Re- discovering his love for music, Mr. Moss got involved tvith it once again. He met GeneAutry at the Tower Theatre in Kansas. Dropping his career in music because of the Rock-n-Roll era Mr. Moss felt ' there was no long- er a need for the instrtiments he used before, all they need is a guitar, some drums, and some- one to scream. Mr. Moss next tried his luck at acting. He landed a role in ■Rodeo Rhythm ' ' which also con- tained John Wayne. With his fluency in Spanish, he met Helen Keller as her transla- tor, while teaching in Mexico. Setting records, Mr. Moss was the first person to take a raft down the Snake River and the first blind man to take a TWA tour to Europe.

He was very active doing volunteer work at Camino a la Paz, teaching an ethics course in the Department of Religion at Trinity University, directing a choir at St. Mary ' s Catholic ChiM-ch emd working at the San Antonio Metropolitan Min- istry (SAMM) shelter for the home- less. Mr. Lazor strongly believes in helping one another and the next generation. I like teaching and believe that I can help the next generation in dealing with the world, even when teaching math. People who have to sleep on the streets of San Antonio need help and the government is un- willing to accept responsibility. Therefore the task is left to vol- unteers, ' he said. Like many important contribu- tions in life time was the enemy. I often feel frustrated in realizing I could be doing better if I had more time. The work always seemed more than the time which is alot- ted, he said. Working at Camino a la Paz dealt with putting on programs having to do with nuclear weap- ons and money spent on the weap- ons, racial prejudism, the way our money was invested and other contemporary topics along those lines. Mr. Lazor ' s ethics class allowed him to get a different view of the world through college student ' s eyes rather theui high school stu- dents. Students are more influ- ential at the high school age, and I like that. There is more intellectual stimulation in college and that is something I miss, ' ' he said. Although he misses the intellec- tual stimulation Mr. Lazor planned to stay with high school life be- cause he felt he had a larger im- pact on the next generation.

Did they like to spend their evenings in front of a never-ending stack of papers? Of course, they didn ' t. They, too, had many other things they needed and want- ed to do. They did it for you.

These are rel- atively easy to find, Marlow said. The thought of stuffing a dead animal is enough to make most people ' s stomach turn inside out, but usually not Marlow ' s. I like doing the work because I find it interesting how people and living things work. But some- times it does make me feel like not eating, ' ' he said.

This sound was famil- iar to Nicole Cantu. Nicole was a successful member of the school ' s new swim team. Swimming was second nature to Ni cole. Tue been swimming forever, she said, explaining that they had a pool at home. However, competition swimming is new to her since she Just start- ed in July. She qualified for the Junior Olympics because of her speed, but it ' s a new experience for her to be against such tough com- petition. I ' m not expecting a lot, ' ' she said. But, her supporters ' have high hopes for her. Nicole, better known by her friends as Nicki, has a very supportive family. Her parents and sisters come to as many meets as possible to cheer her on. They make me nervous, but I ' m glad they ' re there, she said. Her parents feel like this is a good experience for her. Practices are long and tiring for Nicki. She must practice a mini- mum of 5 days a week, and no less than 2 hours a day. When you get a hard set to do and you do it in the time you ' re supposed to, you feel like you ' ve accom- plished something, she said. Sometimes she said you really feel glad when practice was over because you were so exhausted. In the future, she planned to attend college, but she wasn ' t sure what she ' d take. However, she didn ' t have any plans to con- tinue swimming after high school. Perhaps her biggest fear was a false start. She thought that was the worst thing that could ever happen to her. Robin Yeu ma i Jody Simmons PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT. Being a top competitor means lots of practice and true dedication. Nicole Cantu gives her all when it comes to swimming. Shie is making sure that East Central becomes known for the first year in hauing a swim team. The team practices several times a week emd is doing their best to be a tough competitor for others. This makes the team stand out from the others due to their high ambitions.

My dad works with me in sports, and my mom makes me better in schoolwork, he said. Mark is active on the Varsity football team and received the title of sophomore Lord on the Homecoming court. His hobbies include swimming, water skiing, and diving. Noticing that Mark is an all- around achiever, he was elected out of the Sophomore Class to represent East Central at the Hugh O ' Brian Youth Foundation. All of the teaching staff nom- inated 25 sophomores that best demonstrated qualities for lead- ership; then one was elected by receiving the most votes. It was open to the sopho- mores because we have new ideas and are looking for direc- tion and are eager for the real world, ' ' he said. The Hugh O ' Brian Youth Foun- dation is held to seek out, rec- ognize, and reward leadership potential of high school students. The weekend of leadership awareness took place in April. Mark and other high school sophomores are going to talk about what their goals are and how they are going to play a role in the upcoming future. ' ' My future is very important to me and I plan on making some- thing of myself, I hope other soph- omores have the same view point I do, Mark said.

Feeling frightened and scared, and not quite knoLV- ing what to expect, you were a brand new student. The situation was even worse. You found your- self faced with unfamiliar people and places. No matter what your particular situation was. it was a scary and uncomfortable feeling. For Cheiko Fukazawa. her school was definitely a different situation. Being an exchange stu- dent from Japan. Cheiko had many new people and even cus- toms to learn. First, she had to get used to the different home setting, new family, as well as the country atmosphere of St. Hedwig. School was probably the big- gest change for Cheiko. with the different customs and rules. I found school in the United States to be not too much different from home. The hours are the same here but the appearance of the students is not. At her school these students must wear a uni- form and the girls cannot haue permed hair: it must be straight. There were many new things that were available for Cheiko to learn. I like the price of the lunches here. At home a lunch tray would cost me $3, Cheiko said. My favorite part of the year was the dress-up days. It remind- ed me of home. On January first we would all wear our kimonos to celebrate the new year. Cheiko said. Cheiko got to have her first big Christmas, because in Japan New Years is a bigger celebration. New Years is really a lot of fun. All my family and relatives, there ' s about 200. have a big par- ty at a hotel. Cheiko said. Cheiko ' s year was filled with making new friends and learning a new culture. She would like to come back to the United States one day. and of course, she will always be welcome. Jody Simmons CHERISHING NEW FRIENDS. It is always nice to make new friends. Meeting new people and building new relations can be refreshing. Cheiko Fukarawa has the opportunity to make all new friends, but not Just any type of friends.

In one smooth stroke, Charles Williams aim lands perfectly around the neck of a calf. In this round he broke the calf roping time record for the day. With all the credentials, all the right animals, and the right at- titude Charles Willicims feels very confident he has a good chance in becoming the ' ' King of Rodeo. Chades describes rodeo as ' ' an excellent scholarship, and you can stay with it so long you will never have to punch a time clock. Run every now and then and ride my horse everyday, ' ' is what Charles does to stay in shape for the rodeo. Is rodeo a dangerous sport? It sure looks like it could be, so we asked Charles to explain the pain. Surprisingly enough, all that has happened to him was a small hand injury. Injuries could mean early retirement and when Charles retires he hopes to go into stock contraction, and train horses. In his spare time he en- Joys all the common sports. Charles was known around campus, not only for his very ev- ident rodeo skills, but also for his attitude. He was always willing to lend a hand and was kind and courteous to every student he en- countered. It was evident too, that he knows the meaning of the word sportsmanship. Vo matter what happened he was always a good sport.

They were care- fully balancing fragile glasses containing lighted candles on their heads and hands. Among these brave and skilled dancers was Theresa Gabor. Ac- cording to her this dance (known as Pandango sa Haw) is clearly the hardest of the fiue Filipino dances she performs. The danc- ers were sponsored by the Fil- ipino-Americans in San Antonio. An organization in which both of her parents are actiue members. Theresa, who lived in the Phil ippines for 1 1 years, had been dancing with this organization for three years. ' At first I didn ' t want to do the dances, but my mother forced me to. But, now I really like it a lot, Theresa said. The group consisted of 21 boys and girls ranging in age from sev- en to twenty-one. Theresa ' s sis- ter, Elena also performed. For the past few years, the group per- formed at the Folklife Festival, hlOSA, and many other func- tions. Besides participating in various clubs on campus, and dancing, she was also an honorary mem- ber of the Ingram Park Mall Teen Board. She spent numerous hours decorating the mall for its many scheduled events. Distns BartleU Jody Simmons CAREFUL CONCENTRATION. With careful moues. Theresa Gabor balances a glass on her head.

Expressing yourself is what rapping is all about, Lonnie Franklin said, one of the three members who form a group of rappers known as Born Fresh . The group became more success- ful than Franklin ever imagined. Franklin started rapping to have some fun in his spare time. He was the new kid on the block and found rapping a good way to fit in, since the neighbor- hood kids all rapped. Of course, he never knew what this would mean for his future. It meant that he would be a mem- ber of an elite group that traveled as far as California to perform their material. It meant that as a Junior in high school he had a manager for his business affairs. It also meant that he had a chance to do a Levi ' s 501 com- mercial in his future. Although the 501 commercial is still up in the air for the group, their hopes are high. Franklin ' s parents supported him from the beginning. They felt as long as he kept it into per- spective, and kept out of trouble, it was okay. But, it was apparent the support lay deeper than that. Franklin ' s mom hadn ' t missed a performance yet, except for the shoot we did in California, he said. Franklin liked rapping because it gave him a chance to get his point across, Just like talking. However, he said that they al- ways had to be cautious because there is always someone out there who is willing to give ad- vice, and because we ' re kids it ' s easy to listen to them, and make decisions that aren ' t so wise. Franklin hoped to get a second chance to show off more of their material in California. He hoped that Born Fresh could make a name for itself, and also learn a little about the business. I ' m a music person, he said. He enjoyed all kinds of music, but rapping is his favorite. In his spare time Franklin enjoys watch- ing old movies, such as Laurel and Hardy.

Why there ' s fish- ing, stamp collecting, pigeon rac- ing . . . What? Pigeon racing? Yes, believe it or not, the sport of pigeon racing has entered the scene and Junior Mark Heinsohn has discouered it. At the age of tivelue, Heinsohn heard about racing pigeons from a friend ivho races pigeons ivith his father. Although Heinsohn has raised pigeons since the age of six, he did not know about racing them. He became interested and later Joined the Highland Park Racing Club ivith his father. Even though this sport is pop- ular in other countries and throughout the United States, the question on Why pigeon rac- ing? still enters the mind. ' 7 like to race pigeons because it ' s different. The way pigeons can find their way home from long distances is incredible, Mark said. Heinsohn has been racing pi- geons for the last three years and will continue to do so. How doesn ' t that beat fishing? Many people race pigeons, we fly against 30-40 people who Hue throughout San Antonio, Mark said. The pigeon racing sport has spread and many people are starting to open their eyes to the interesting sport. Although as of now the sport is not exactly a household word, the future may bring some surprises. The ad- vancement and expanding of pi- geon racing could become very important and prosperous one day. ' 7 hope to get a Job one day when I ' m older which allows me to train my birds and keep them in good health. At the time I can earn anywhere between $850 to $1000 for raising them, Hein- sohn said. Jennifer Sch efer Brooke Lee WHO ' S THAT BIRD? This bird is only one of the colorful, stream lined racing pigeons of Mark Heinsohn. Raising these pigeons can earn the owner more money than one would expect. He has raised pigeons since he was six but began racing them at the age of 12. Pigeon racing allows Mark to spend some extra and different time with his father. . .

That special feeling that fills your heart and makes you feel good about yourself. Helping others is always a special thing. One feels a cer- tain kind of Joy, glowing through- out his body, and one feels as if he ' s walking on air. Accomplish- ments gave everyone a feeling of worth ctnd nobility. This feeling may be familiar to you and is also very familiar to Ross Miller. Ross is a member of the China Grove Volunteer Fire Department and has been for most of his life. I ' ve been going to fires with my mom, since she is the chief, as long as I can remember, Ross said. Ross ' donation may have been different from the little things we did, but all of our actions were done for the seune reasons, and resulted in the seune feeling. With such a serious and im- portant Job, it would seem the Job would have interfered with Ross ' school work. Actually, the Job was strictly volunteer; it didn ' t come in the way because it wasn ' t mandatory. Ross dedicat- ed all his free and spare time to helping. It ' s a good feeling knowing you ' ve helped someone. You may have saved a life or someone ' s house or belongings. All the times that I volunteered was well worth it, ' ' Ross said. He had never been in seriously dangerous situations, but has helped many families rescue their possessions. He plans to continue volunteering his time as much as he possibly can.

This was the toughest year they had, trying to deal with the heavy load. The future for the first time, seemed to come into per- spective. Suddenly they began to realize that academics were im- portant; they would foretell what activities after high school would be. Parents were pressuring them into making good grades, and their heads were swirling with de- cisions about college. What was a person to do? After all they were only humans. They only have one brain in which to function for a million different wants of a million different peo- ple. I ' m really glad that I can think that my high school years are half over.

The sim- ple look was in, their clothes were a draped look, plain and simple, created by however the material fell. The fashionable colors were white with colored ropes for ac- cent. The hottest shoes around were sandals, and leaves or plants were a big fashion state- ment. The biggest difference from the past fashion and today ' s was the fact that dresses were fash- ionable for both men and women. This style of clothing wouldn ' t exactly be acceptable in today ' s society, except for one day, Toga Day. The seniors tradi- tionally dress in Roman and toga attire to show some of their senior spirit. It was great to wear a sheet all day. and be known as a se- nior. Allison Vick said. The day was fill ed with a lot of fun and opportunities for the seniors. Before school in the morning they had a toga social, which consisted of an assorted selection of breakfast tacos for them to munch out. The Social and tacos were really good. It seemed to be a fun day for everyone, Donny Mar- shall said. Of course, along with the good times and privileges of the days there were some restrictions. Stu- dents weren ' t allowed to show too much of their body, no matter what the Romans did. Many stu- dents bared as much as they could possibly dare. The whole day was a blast. A bunch of us tried to get away with more than we were sup- posed to. but that was half the fun, Brian Johnson said. Even with the rules, the day was a blast. Seniors will never forget the toga tradition. Charleen Pearce Todd CIclcnckl ROMAN PRIDE. With the many senior aclioities, toga dress-up day seems to ivin the popularity contest hands down. Not only is it fun to be dressed in a sheet all day, but the toga breakfast is also a highlight of the day before the morning bell rings, seniors pile into the cafeteria to munch doivn.

Everyone likes to talk to people who they have things in common with. Many people talk about habits, interests, etc. For the foreign exchange students experiences and lessons are what they seem to hold in common. Alexandra Muller. Marcos Gracey and Lena Perrson enjoy some sparkling conversation at Whataburger. The three enjoy spending time together and comparing their many experiences. Your eyes grew bigger; your stomach began to feel jittery and your heartbeat increased rapidly. You were filled with anxiety, part- ly also caused by nervousness and by excitement. You weren ' t exactly sure what to expect of the infamous America, Land of the free, home of the brave. How were you supposed to act? What customs of yours might be con- sidered strange? What clothes were acceptable? This enormous amount of ques- tion and emotions swirled about the foreign exchange students heads as they stepped off the plane onto their temporary home. Within a short time the exchange students began to learn many strange and new things that were different from their homes. There were many new adjustments they had to make in order to live in the new environment. One of the weirdest things I, and people around me had to get used to were the different ac- cents. I remember one of my very first conversations, it was exactly the most intelligent one I ever had, Australian born Marcus Gracey said. What ' s your name? Marcus. Who? ' ' Marcus. ' ' Oh, Mike us? No, Marcus. Mike, us, who? Never mind, okay! There was an enormous amount of new and different things to get accustomed to, there were customs to learn, new people, friends and even new families to meet. School was the most drastic change, but also the most important. Since they had to attend it every day, it was easy to get accustomed to. It was a big change going to an American school.

Living Uke royalty • • Wouldn ' t ive all love to lead the glam- orous life? It would be fun to be looked at admired and watched. Being treated like royalty and being able to act the part would be more than wonderful. You could dress up in beautiful and elegant robes, be the guest in parades and be a member of the court. Ho one would pass up the chance for an opportunity such as this, and Shelley Uhr was no different. She is a member of the court of Arabian Nights. There are five members of court including a Queen. Prin- cess and three duchesses. Shelley is a duchess and was chosen along with 46 other nominees up for the titles. Members of the court are chosen from girls who all belong to Lutheran churches. Shelley be longs to the St. John ' s Lutheran Church. The day I was notified of the position was really great. I was at home eating supper when I got the phone call. After I told them I would participate, I began to cry. It was really exciting. ' ' she said. The court has many appearances they must make on their agenda- the most favorable are the parades they get to ride in. The girls compete to be in the parades by selling ads. There are many parades available for us to ride in. The Peanut Festival. Aqua Fest, Battle of Flowers, and the Cotton Bowl. I came in fourth place and get to ride in three of the parades. The biggest one I get to ride in is the Battle of Flow ers. Shelley said. Shelley will be crowned as duchess until the next years coronation. Although a new court does come along she will never lose her title as a member of the Arabian Nights. Every year there is a new theme to which the court is formed after.

You need what? screeched an extremely loud voice from your angered parent. A look of disbelief was marked on their face as they looked at you with those wide and glaring eyes, star- ing at you and filling you with guilt. They would shake their head as they wrote, making you feel smaller and smaller by the second. What was so bad? What was the terrible crime you had committed? After all you had only asked for money. You ' d think they didn ' t haue any or some- thing. For most seniors this scene was more than familiar. We all had to go to our parents for that ' green stuff. ' ' Being a senior had meant it was our last year to buy tons of things that we didn ' t need. There were many things we needed — a cap and gown for graduation, invitations, name cards and tassels. And who could haue lived without a memory book, a ticket to the toga social or money for noisemakers? Then there were your dues for the se- nior trip and donations for Beauty and Beast. Even though all this money added up quickly, no amount seemed too outrageous for seni- ors, rio one wanted to miss out on any activity or memory saver. ' Being a senior does mean a greater expense, especially for graduation accessories, but it is worth it to the kids, Cecil Vas- quez said. As the year progressed, I found myself more broke. But since it was my last year. I de- cided to splurge. ' ' Bryce Johnson said. Though the price seemed to be exceedingly high, it didn ' t seem to make a difference. No matter what the cost, none was too high. Explained perfectly by Lisa Jo Rawson. It is a little expensive, but it is worth it because of the memories it helps us to save. There is no price too high for a memory. Cftarieen Pe rce Todd Clelencid MAJOR BUCKS. Lots of money is essential to be a spirited and totally equipped senior. With all the many actiuities and memorabilia, every senior had a large expense. Kim Lutz looks into her empty wallet as she wonders. Is there a hole in it?

You have seen her out on the gym floor cheering on the football team; you have heard ctbout her oner the loud speakers inuolued in various competitions and win- ning awards, it takes a lot of time and responsibility, but she some- how seems to haue them both. Inuolued in Beta Club, she ran for Texas state secretary at a con- uention held in Austin, which was hosted by the state secretary. Not surprisingly, she won! Out of four other students running Cindy pulled out on top. It has taught me a lot about respect and how to better apply myself in the things I do, she said. After high school, she plans to attend an American college in Eu- rope. There she will major in French and foreign affairs. With a half of a year scholarship, she would like to pursue her career as an interpreter. I think it will be a challenge because the culture is so different and academics are stressed more, ' ' she said. With all her acting experience, Cindy was asked to audition for the lead role of Lolita, by a graduate from Austin. The results could add a great deal to her acting. Cindy has many ambitions, with her attitude there really is no reason to believe why she will not fulfill them. Melbida Sanchej PERSONALITY BOUtlDI In between her honor classes.

It IS true your senior year is filled with good times, fun. cLnd many memories, but the year can also be filled with sadness. Although most seniors act easy going and full of joy. many of them become somewhat sentimental. At the senior pep rally, seniors begin to realize their last year is upon them and is slowly coming to an end. The noise level ivas so loud it made your ears ring, beating in- side your head. The gym tvas packed full, but they still tried to cram Just one more person in- side the door. The thin and breathless air seemed to be filled with a strange mood of spirit and pride. All the classes had a large crowd, but the seniors dominated the population. This was no ordinary pep rally; it was one of uniqueness, a very special time to remember. It was the Senior Class pep rally. The one that was completely reserved for seniors, it was their moment. The pep rally began as all the others had, students were yelling and cheering and the rowdiness of the crowd filled up the gym- nasium. As the pep rally began to wind down so did the mood of the students. The time had come for the best part of the show, it was time for the senior song. All the seniors gathered on the floor, ready to listen to the mel- ody they had chosen to represent the memories of their school years. Rudy Hernandez lead the sentimental seniors in the song Friends. As the seniors shared many tears and a numerous amount of hugs. Any viewer could easily recognize the love and sadness that was filling the seniors ' s hearts. It was kind of fun being all together, but it was also very sad knowing that our time was lim- ited, ' ' Wayne Devora said. Many seniors became very emotional. ' It was the first time I had actually realized that our year would be over soon, Chris l arkle said. We will all hold the memory of the special pep rally close to us. After all, the mood affected eve- ryone. The senior pep rally was neat, but oh so sad. It made it clear to me that we had gone through twelve long years of love and togetherness, Bubba Ad- ams said. Although at graduation the seniors will say their final fare- well, their love and their friend- ships will never die! -£j® Sheila Riuas Patricia Ritchie Gctmaliel Riojas Dina Rihn Scott Riggins 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 88 k Senior Pep Rally by Julie Renick ... 146 Shane Zoeller Patricia Zaiontz Philip Yarbrough Stacy Wyrwich Julie Wright John Woitena Tern Wilson Shannon Wilson Julie Wessel Todd Welch It came without warning It started inside the pit of your stomach, making it quiuer and tighten with excitement then moved up into your heart, ivarm- ing it ivith happiness, fiext it took control of your face, that soon became transformed into a rather large and goofy smile and wide, alert eyes. It then raced straight up to your head where it took total control of your mind and body, filling it with crazy actions and mouements. These actions were controlled from utter nut- tiness whose sole purpose was to have all the fun that it could pos- sibly have had. Yes, you guessed right, it was none other than that fatal disease that would eventually dominate us all, it was senioritis. This disease was defined by all seni- ors as the disease that made you full of anxiety and total loss of all sanity. Actually, most seniors did look forward to being mesmer- ized by this strange illness. Senioritis is something I ' ve been waiting to have. Wanting everyone to know I ' m a senior as welt as being able to participate in all the activities. Having it was the best feeling anyone could ever have, Rudy Hernandez said. When did senioritis fall? There was no specific time when seni- oritis hit. It depended on the per- son and their state of mind. For many it seemed to come sooner than anyone had expected. ' My senioritis started at the end of my Junior year, ' ' Shawn Harris said, who was obviously struck early by the illness. Eventually, every senior ' s mind was captured by the sickness. Once stricken, they would never be the same, but then most of them didn ' t want to be. Just being a senior was the greatest feeling. It gave you an excuse for all your crazy ac- tions, ' ' Amy Berry said. CI Ar1een Pt rce SHEER EXCfTEMENT. It is true that some of us don ' t find the books we are asked to read in English very exciting, but some of us find them extremely boring.

Classes if 4 cc4t a Aa There were four phases of the high school career. Few could escape them: most simply dealt with them. It all started out with you being a freshman. Oh, the dread! Fish was the more common name. It was the year of horror. It was the year to find friends and most of all to adjust to high school. The sophomore year came and the pic- ture seemed to brighten. Suddenly this year was easier. The counselor had only made you take three regular classes and you had the possibility of three electioes. The Junior year came and suddenly you had found yourself pulling your hair out. You had always heard your Junior year was the hardest academically, but you had never known how hard. The year seemed to be one of the longest you had ever had. Suddenly you were a senior. You had made it to the final year and now it was time to breathe. That was at least for a little while. Although most students were no long- er academically loaded down, they had a new Job to occupy their extra time. Finding the right college and most of all the schol- arships. Each year was different in its own way. The seniors looked at the freshmen and couldn ' t remember that they were once that small. There was always someone who said that it seems like every year the freshmen get smaller. But the freshmen hadn ' t changed, it simply seemed that way. But most of all they weren ' t Just classes they were people. AUison Rogers 400 ' Ree uf THE JV TRACK TEAM has been dominated by freshmen this year. This has not held back the team s performance: in fact, the team has done better than expected. The 400m sprint relay team has placed at the top with other Varsity teams. At one meet they beat W out of 12 Varsity (earns there. The four girls that won such an honor are as follows: Ina Martinez. Gladys Cadena. Melody Par ker. and anchor Amy Wagner.

Fish dominate JV team ragging through another grueling practice, the JV girls track team erased all images of being free from pain. Stretched and tired muscles pushed a little further to give them that extra edge for the team to strive on to uictories and new horizons. The team members ran around the track numerous times to build up their strength and stamina for the meets to come. They practiced long and hard to achieve their goals of some day becoming that famous track star. The girls competed and did great all year. They pushed for that extra edge and came out placing fourth or better in the track meets that they participated in. Coach Judy Sheffler said. The team consisted mostly of freshmen who did very well despite the lack of ex perience. This is the largest number of freshmen we have had and if they stick together till their senior year, we will have an awesome track team. Coach Sheffler said. We all haue a special relationship with coach that makes us feel close and like one big family. Amy Wagner, fresh- man, said. Throughout the season the girls moved to new heights. They placed in the 800 meter relays, high jump, and long jump. They also made it to the finals in the 400 sprint relay in the Varsity division, beating out ten out of 12 other teams. Relay races require co- operation and team work. All the girls are friends, and that helps them in their races also. Each girl played an important role in the success of the track team. They were plagued with injuries, but still came out on top. The girls have improved tremendous- ly since the beginning of the year, and if it wasn ' t for injuries the girls probably would have been dominant in every meet, Coach Sheffler added.

Although you may think I ivas in the comfort of my oujn bed, ready to awaken for a full day of school, you are wrong. I had awakened to the hustle and bustle that was going on at a track meet. Sleeping under the bleachers on our pallets was a familiar occurrence at our meets since we weren ' t supposed to get tired or drained out we found it easy to lay around and relax. We had a fun season. Sometimes you can get really tired of waiting around at our meets but with all your friends around, we usually have a great time. David t oran said. The JV track team didn ' t go to a large num- ber of meets, but they did work themselves hard to prepare for next year. The district meet was their best meet of the season.

My black Jersey was attracting the sun, making its hot rays beat down on my shoulders. My stomach felt queasy, my heart weak and my throat thick. From the distance I heard Runners line up! Quickly I wiped my sweaty palms on my shorts and stretched my legs one last time. It was time to run. I stepped in my lane and bent down into position. I was exploding with anxiety waiting to start. POP! The gun was shot and we were off. I was running as fast as I could, at full speed. I was pulling ahead with my body until I finally reached the ribbon. I threw myself for- ward into it with the feeling of great achieue- ment. Vof only had I finished the race, but I had won. Our season was really good. We had a lot of fun and really ran our hearts out. When I look back on all the races I ran, I will remember them with great feeling, Senior Mike Lundell said. The Varsity track team will lose some strong competitors, but they do have one good thing to look forward to. I ext year ' s returning Varsity letterman will be 75% from this year. This will help them because the members are experi- enced and strong runners. The seniors found many accomplishments this year. Brian Hardin received a first place in the District meet which topped off his senior year. Mike Lundell received a 6th place in the High Jump also at the District meet, and Renwick Porter a 3rd place for the 400 Meter Dash. We really left something behind us this year. We moved up in District to 4th place, and that is a great accomplishment. I ' m proud of all our hard work, ' ' Senior Artist Covington said. Many of next year ' s returning lettermen also placed.

Since it was my senior year I wanted to really make the most of it, and I feel like I gave it my all, ' ' Troy Waddell said. Troy found much success during his senior year. At the Seguin tournament at Starcke Park he placed 4th. He got a double-eagle on a par 5 and 545 yard hole. For making a double-eagle he was certified by the largest golf magazine in the country, Golf Digest. For being cer- tified he received a pin and plaque and he also appeared in the magazine. Troy also received a 74, the lowest score, at the Seguin tournament which is now the present school record. He ended his season placing 4th in Dis- trict. I was really excited about appear- ing in Golf Digest; it will really be great to look back on that. I am planning to attend Southwest Texas State Univer- sity and play golf for them. I am really looking forward to playing in college, Troy said. Although the sport of golf is not the most popular sport, its popularity is growing. Coach Louis Garcia is the golf coach. Garcia is trying to upgrade the support and popularity of the sport. Troy played a big part in the recog- nition to the golf team ' s activities. In the past few years the team had grown along with its popularity.

Individualism mixed with Just the right amount of free-spirited determination were common traits among the feisty members of the Freshmen tennis team. Most of my freshmen players started out the year as bare beginners. I have seen a lot of improvement. tennis coach Leland Pospisil said. The freshmen players continued throughout the season to make positive changes in their game. Many committed themselves to summer lessons, tournaments, and their quest for suc- cess came only with hard work. One of the most notable moments of the season came when Jay Henson reached the consolation finals of the New Braunf els Canyon Tennis Tourney. ' ' He also coupled with Trey Berry to capture a second place medal in the Tivy Fresh- men Junior Varsity Tournament, Coach Pos- pisil said. It was an off-beat, pace-setting season. One filled with high hopes and enthusiasm. The exceptional players set themselves above the rest and proved that they definitely were one- of-a-kind. Coach Pospisil said there has been a con- certed effort to make high school tennis a team sport. This is only possible if there are many players who are active at a comparable level. Since I do not have that I have to accent the individualness of the sport. I have seven freshmen who have committed them- selves to summer lessons and tournaments. Pospisil said. More attendance and spirit from the fans could only boost the morale of these young Freshmen tennis players. It has been proven that Hornet Pride is alive throughout the year.

Most of he JV players showed signs of im- rouement in order to work up to the ' arsity level next year. ' ' Coach Leland ' ospisil said. The team found most of its success 1 tournaments. Lydia Kramer and Car- i Kubena finished third in the Canyon ' all tournament and also reached the ' nals at the Fredericksburg tourna- lent along with Chris Foster and Carl losub. These four players proved to be the year ' s strongest players. This year was a working year. When you ' re on the JV team you have to prove yourself even more than the Varsity. I feel like I really gave it my all and made many accomplishments. Carol Kubena said. With a numerous amount of strong players to look forward to. replace- ments were hard to find. Most of the more talented players will be moving up to the Varsity team next year. Their advancement will be beneficial to the Varsity team while being a huge loss to the JV. Next year ' s season may be tough if I don ' t fill in some vacancies that have occurred. I know I ' ll find some great kids to pull through, Coach Pospisil said. Although the JV did not play a match schedule like the Varsity did, they proved their name through tourna- ments. The team also had a more con- sistent winning record. We really had a great year.

The tennis team tried and al- though they didn ' t do badly, the season wasn ' t a total success, With tennis being a year round sport, our conditioning time is mostly to find and fix our rough edges. Donica Morales, Junior, said. Imagine, if you would, being up at school at 7 A.M. to leaue for an all-day tournament. By the time you get there they start putting on the 8 A.M. matches; ten minutes later it begins to rain. The rain gets harder and the hours creep by while the teams lounge around in the pro shop. Then 5 P.M. rolls around, the rain lets up. and the volunteers begin to dry the courts. About thirty minutes later they call the first round players back on, When it rains and there is a delay, the waiting is the worst part of the tournament. Your nerves get to you and you find yourself looking around trying to find the person you will probably be playing against, Deelaina Stowe, Junior, said. District came and went and the season ended. Coach started pulling out summer tournament schedules and registration forms for those who wanted to enter. He gave his little speech about keeping up with tennis and how everyone should remain active. The year was over, but the cycle never ceased.

With two men on base, Richmond drove a winning single into center field, which completed the Hornets record at 8-8. This was a remarkable year for the Hornets, because it was their best record in ten years and in one of the toughest districts in South Texas. This season has really been one to remember. In our district we have really succeeded in making a name for our- selves, Kevin Smith said. The Hornets were very proud of their season and they well deserved it. The hard work from long practices paid off for the boys. Their record of 8-8 left them even in wins and losses which helped boost their spirits. This season brought their status up much higher as compared to last season and provided them with much confidence for next year. This team is going to be hard to follow.

They lost by 27 points against Judson during the oreuious round but came oery close to beat- ing them this time. There were 7 seconds left and the team was down by four, at this time the girls went down the court and Dawn Bartlett sunk a 3 pointer. Unfortunately time ran out. but the girls felt like they had played a oery fine ball game to the end. The turning point of the season came when we finally got a win under our belt against San Marcos.

Sports ft S u4€tuee R learning enpepience The JW girls basketball season had many ups and downs. They had games which they played great, and games which they didn ' t play uery well. Overall the athletes improved due to expe- rience gained throughout the season. Coach Irene Holbrook ' s main goal this sea- son was to grow closer as a team. More consistency and dedication from the players would have been a big contributing factor. Ms. Holbrook lost some girls to track, some to grades, some to the holidays, and some to injuries. These complications did not help the team ' s season outcome. Everyone could have helped each other and given a little helping hand. I think we needed more leaders or more leadership. It seemed everyone was always bossing one another around. We needed more moral sup- port from the teammates when we were go- ing through the rough times. ' ' sophomore team member Brooke Lee said.

Sports ci%44t f ia. et a£e Leading the crowd Throughout our high school years there were those times when we were young and impressionable: we chose people to look up to. Many of us were fond of mouie stars, singers, or any type of famous figure. You know those cool older kids with their bad cars and tough clothes. The kids that were seen at every party and all the popular hangouts. They hung around in their cool cliques and dated all the right people. You remember these people, we all do. Probably everyone of us picked out one, two, or may- be several people we thought were totally hot and perfect. Believe it or not, there were those students who looked up to people for things that went a little farther than their clothes and cars. Some of us actually did look past their de- signer clothes and social placement to look at the real person. The Varsity girls basketball team looked up to their three seniors: Donna Craig. Mi- chele Hanson and Kim Lutz. These three seniors became the leaders and the idols throughout the season, holding the girls to- gether and bonding the dedication, This year was one of my best: I guess since it was my last year. I wanted to make it the best and really accomplish something. I feel satisfied. Kim Lutz said. Although the girls had a few setbacks throughout the season with injuries, the seni- ors never let them give up. Keeping up the morale and good atti- tudes was an essential element to keep us working together. This year has been a learn- ing experience and hopefully will benefit the girls for next year, ' ' Michelle Hanson said. The season concluded with a record of 5- 13 leaving the girls mildly successful when it came to ranking. However, the girls did find much success when it came to learning and growing from their experiences. Our year was good and benefitted each personally. I ' m proud to be a Lady Hornet.

Togetherness, and Deuo- tion. These three words acted as a key element for the Varsity girls bas- ketball team. Any and every team needed something to keep it moving at its full po- tential, and the Varsity team bonded togeth- er for their strength. Our seniors. Kim Lutz. Donna Craig, and Michelle Hanson, provided us with outstand- ing leadership to keep us united through good and bad times, Coach Langston Wil- liams said. With only three seniors on the Varsity team this leaves six returning letterman for the next year ' s line-up. The many experiences that the underclassmen learned will benefit them in the future. Also the guidance of their peers will play as a strong example. All of the girls looked up to the seniors because they taught us so much. In this sport you respect people for their hard work and dedication, and they proved strong on that. They guided us through some very heird moments, we will always thank them in our own special ways, Brooke Lee said. With there being such a small number of seniors, and older players this left an open opportunity for the younger players to gain experience and know what it is like playing Varsity. The team ' s hard work, and dedication made them a successful show. The girls had a battle on their hands at the time. During the course of the season they fell upon several minor injuries. The strain from the injuries could have slowed the girls down, but there was never any slack. Also the CJIL passed a new three point line, which was brought out for beneficial uses. There were some unfortunate circumstances, but the players seemed to handle them okay and motivation a positive attitude. We utilized the three point line rule in some games, but we didn ' t rely on it. We made 46 out of an attempted 99 during the season, Coach Langston Williams said. Ch rieen Pearce 109 .. . Sports .

The rather thick and heauy atmosphere made it an uncomfortable surrounding. Confusing thoughts raced through the mind while standing on the Luaxed. wooden floor, making your head swirl and your balance tilt. Trying to play in the shadow of a top- ranked team was tough enough on the mind, but other pressures came about. Being a freshman, the bottom man on the totem pole, meant you were already pushed into proving yourself and showing what you were made of. It was a lot for one person to handle. Alamo Heights at home was the turning point in the season. The boys played an up tempo and aggressive game that simply put the opponent some 30 points behind. Freshmen generally get a bad rap on everything they do. Being the youngest in school and least experienced in life, it is almost a rule to have them. They have a harder time at accomplishing goals because of the stereotyping that they had to fight off. The team worked hard on making a name for themselves. t feel really good about our season.

Adding to the many pressures that all athletes have, the JV has to play under successfullness. With the Varsity having such a tremendous year and school- breaking records and ranks, the JV had to work extra hard to keep themselves in the limelight.

Crosscountry was exciting and strenuous to run: it also prepared them for the spring track. I feel like I have accomplished something that I neuer thought I could do. Though I may be tired, I feel energized, excited, and ready to go out that night. Kim McBee said. ' ' It ' s going really good for my first year: the group is small but they work hard and they are ' improving every week, Coach Gary Hammac, said. Through conditioning themselves during the fall, the runners were able to keep in shape and could run that extra mile when spring track came around. Crosscountry is one sport that you are able to see a lot of scenery, while running that grueling run. There was more to see as you ran along the path than a gym or yard lines. This sport lets you enjoy nature and the clean air. - U ' . Jody Simmons STRETCH TIMEI Right before every race. Lisa Gu tierrez takes time out to stretch her hard-working mus cles.

We had quite a few injuries, but it did not seem to affect the outcome of the season in the least because of the depth of the unique team, ' ' Volleyball Coach Judy Scheffler said. They were a talented group of girls. Most freshmen run a simple offense. These girls started out learning a 6-2, which is the same as the Varsity runs. The 6-2 consisted of a lot of movement, and the girls learned to spe- cialize at one position. The turning point of the unusual season was devastating the MacArthur Brahmas in their first district game — a big captivating point for the girls. The girls were very impressive, and the coaching staff was very proud of the girls for pulling the season off as they did, Coach Scheffler said. Running the 6-2 the way these girls did was really special, because this was the first group of freshman girls that could execute such a different offense so effectively. They are expected to do well in the future. 1 FRESHMAfi VOLLEYBALL EC OPP 15 Wheatley 5 10 Fox Tech 15 8 Judson 15 13 ' MacArthur 15 15 Seguin 13 15 Judson 11 11 Rooseuelt 15 3 Lee 15 15 Madison 10 15 Churchill 13 7 Judson 15 5 San Marcos 15 15 MacArthur 8 15 Seguin 6 15 Rooseuelt 9 7 Rooseuelt 15 15 Lee 13 15 Madison 5 14 Judson 16 11 San Marcos Ouerall Record 9 20 15 OUT OF REACH.

Sports ( Me€f €iee It was a cool October evening and our traditonal rival strolled into the gym . . . Judson. The Hornets had al- ready established them selves as one of the top JV teams in the city and the district. Judson had something to prove. The teams battled back and forth, and the spiking was something fierce. And then, all of a sudden, the lights went out. One third of the power was restored, but it Just wasn ' t enough for the Hornets. When the lights went out all I could think of was — oh great we ' re losing already and the lights went out on our side. Gia Iden, said.

The team u orked as a whole and sur- prised many of the opposing teams. With height and speed the girls spiked their way into the gyms of many schools. Close games really hurt the Junior Varsity throughout the season, but these near losses made them try even harder to win than ever before. New and exciting plays were performed. The Hornet team led attacks upon their op- ponents and scored points with each attack. The spirit and togetherness really helped the team to keep their performances together and produced a lot of effort. Throughout the season the Hornets had surprising upsets by teams like Judson, Churchill, and Seguin. In each, the Hornets put up a tough match, but sometimes fell short in getting a victory. We did a real good Job this season. We had strength, height, and stamina to keep playing the best we could, Kim Murray, junior, said. The Hornets had an uphill battle the whole way but hung on to show the other teams that we did not give up easily. We never give up. We keep going strong until the finish. We have the capability to raise ourselves up whenever we fall down, Gia Iden, Junior, said. A tough district like this one really made everyone work a little harder to strive for that win. Even tho ugh the Hornets suffered many losses and setbacks they kept their heads held high and the spirit they needed to work to their fullest ability and capacity. The season was tough but the JV held on and showed others that they could take any kind of beating and could stand on their own two feet. They were also able to overcome any loss no matter what the point margin may have been.

Todd CieUncId Memopoble iimes What is a day in the life of a Hornet Varsity uollebyall player? Gritty. We will examine the summer workouts. Day one: The girls, after being accustomed to sleeping late, had to drag themselves out of bed by 7:30 a.m. to be at school and ready to run the first ten laps of the day at 9 a.m. They would do stretches and exercises and run their plays to get themselves back in shape. Then they would break for lunch and then be back for evening workouts. Day two: The muscles are sore. As the girls come into the gym with half closed eyes and Ben-Gay for perfume, they would brave the same thing over and over again to make them the best players possible. Day three: This is the hardest day of all. The girls needed forklifts and cranes to get out of bed. The muscles did not want to function, but they still practiced anyway. Season: After the first three days, eve- 89 . . . Sports rything came together. All of the long hours of practice and preparation were put to rest, and a Hornet volleyball team emerged prov- ing that they were the team to contend with. Throughout the season the Varsity team showed great improvement. There may have been a disappointing season with the num- ber of losses, but the team kept their spirits up and enjoyed every minute they were to- gether. The girls had a season with every game a nail biter. The audience screamed and the girls did their best. Each and every game they had to strive to try to beat the opposing team. There were some close games. They beat l arshall in a three game set with every game within a couple of points. Also, a game against Churchill was even better. The girls came up two points short of winning the game. €ifua€ ££e€fd zU Todd Cietencki Settio t Okay, ladies, let ' s go now. Let ' s take it to them Keep fighting, we can do It.

We were a very competitive group and enjoyed playing with each other. Even though we had a tough season with all our losses we still are the champions, Senior, Kim Clayborne, said. The Hornets bumped, set, and spiked their way into many games. High enthusiasm and spirits ted the way to many of the close losses. The competition was fierce, but the Hornets hung on and stroue to new heights. There were a lot of near misses and wins throughout the season and that is what made the girts work harder and longer until the season ended. The girls ' record ended with more losses than wins, but in all the players minds they were winners. Spectators also played giant roles in the girls ' enthusiasm. Large number of fans began to come to the girls ' games. The crowds cheered, yelled, booed, and hissed but that is part of cheering on your favorite team. Yes, there were many games that went down to the last two points so excitement was overwhelming in the gym. The girls showed what they were made of and showed other opposing teams that they were the ones to contend with. The season was rough and competitive, but I think we succeeded in the things we tried. I think this season was one of the best we have ever had, M ' lchele Hanson, senior, said. With disappointing setbacks in games against Churchill and Roosevelt, this was the base to which the girls set their standards and from there on improved from their mis- takes. The Hornets stroue and reached their goals and kept their heads held high.

TO Just about anybody, a person wearing a football uniform appears to be a giant! When, you ' re a fresh- man looking at a huge football player, the intimidation was probeibly even greater. The older players seemed like monsters, with their gigantic and oversized muscles, mean faces and broad builds. Freshman football players weren ' t exactly excited about meet- ing any of them out on the field. The freshmen, in the past years as football players, had many things come in their way. There was always something to work at, whether it was working well with their other teammates or proving themselves to the coaches. Time proved the particular prob- lem; the Job was never easy. Time proved that the older you got, the harder the work beccune. The tremendous Jump from Junior high football, to playing in high school was a very frightening experience. Not only were you faced with reproving yourself and starting over, but there was a change in the coaches, in strategies, team game plans, and mostly the change in size and strength of the op- ponents. I ost of those guys are pretty big, but usually if you play your best, you find out that the size doesn ' t always matter, Tony Swenson said. There was still another obstacle that the freshmen players had to overcome. The freshman boys come from Junior high rival schools and teams. Suddenly the team that they disliked so much for two years was forced to be some of their new teammates. It was really strange at first, but even- tually we learned to work together, Brian Smith said. Learning to work together and Join as one team took a lot of hard work. With the many mountains the freshmen had to climb, it re- sulted in a long and hard season. Although they didn ' t come out successful as far as winnings go, they had personal victories of their own. The experience of being on the field and playing will benefit them in the years to come. It ' s really a lot of work that the guys have to do. They struggle a lot, but these are also the times when they decide if they are se- rious or not about playing ball. It can be really tough on them, but it ' s good for them. Coach Butch Boggess said.

The time had gone by so fast, so quickly. It was funny how it never seemed so quick while you were taking an exam. Weird how it always worked that way. The time had come! It was here. The 3:25 bell had rung, and yes, it was time for foot- ball practice. The hot sun, the sweat, pound- ing bodies and a fast pace was your doom. For most people the thought of practice re- ally wasn ' t that grueling, but if you were a Junior Varsity football player it was worse. Euery time the thought entered your body, you felt a sort of numb feeling taking over. The thought of being totally exhausted to the point of insanity was the only thing you could think of. The headaches neuer seemed to end, player Curtis Fletcher said. riot only did the team have to go out for a productive practice, they had to battle the Varsity players. The two teams practiced to- gether euery afternoon. ' The results of the two teams working together really was tremendous. For the JV it is really good experience, and it makes them tough. The practice is also very beneficial to the Varsity, the JV plays a big part in the boys ' production, Coach Jerry Smith said. Though it was tough for the JV players, all the time they put in will help them for the future. I Just want to be the best football player I can possibly be, ' Chad Schnitz said.

OO! -GET HIM OUTTA THERE! - COME- ON COACH. GET ANOTHER QUARTERBACK! ' These terms sound familiar to many quar- terbacks. Many times when a game is lost, for some reason or another, the quarterback is the one to blame, whether he played great or played horrible. A lot of people think that the quarterback gets too much credit. Keuin Smith said. Believe me from experience, they don ' t re- ceive enough. ' Don ' t forget that the quar- terbacks are the ones who get blamed for losing; they are the ones that get dragged around by large obese lineman, and his own team gives him a little bit of criticism some- times. Have you ever been hit by a car. or fallen off a house? Well, that ' s the way I feel after a game. Kevin said. Many people say quarterbacks are wimps because they never get hit. Obviously those people who say that have never played a quarterback position. Another part of being a quarterback is to be able to remember all of the plays the coaches give him. They also must be able to read defenses and they must know what everyone else ' s job is. There are some advantages of being a quarterback, but not too many . Kevin said. A lot of the time when the team does win the quarterback receives some credit and a lot of congratulations from many friends and fam- iiy- Quarterbacks can get a little spoiled dur- ing football season. They get a couple of pads here, and a couple of pads there. Of course those pads are to protect him from serious injuries. During football season the quarterback gets a lot of roughing up from the team. The team puts a lot of pressure on the quarterback: and the coaches rely on him for the same reasons that the tearri does. Being a quarterback isnt the great and glamorous life many people think it is. But there will always be at least two people who will give the quarterback respect, whether he played good or bad. his mom and his fellow quarterback.

Hoivever, the Hornets took the field each week filled with the attitude which kept them going week after week, even though there were times the Hornets came out on the short end of the scoreboard. Recovering from a loss takes twice as much character to return the next week and give one hundred and ten percent to the team as compared to a team who becomes reliant in winning week after week. Our team is composed of many different personalities, but when it came down to playing we all thought exactly the same and helped each other to concentrate on win- ning, ' ' Bryce Johnson said. The Hornets have always demonstrated qualities of togetherness and Hornet pride, most noticeably during the playing of the Alma Mater after every game. Victorious or not the Hornet team stopped whatever they were doing and raised their fingers high with emotion and pride. We did many things that brought us closer together such as praying together before as well as after each prac- tice. ' Skipper Brazil said. The Hornet team has bypassed many dif ficulties but has overcome them all.

It ivas 6:30 a.m. ivith only tivo iveeks of summer left. While hundreds of other stu- dents ivere still in bed, enjoying the remains of their short vacation, the Varisty football team tvas busy folloiving their daily sched- ule. The gruesome ttvo-hour practice was only the beginning of their long and busy day. They spent two frustrating hours practicing and drilling plays on the field then put on their running shoes to prepare for the desert . The daily mile and a half cross- country rtm was used to get them in shape for the upcoming season. ' ' The worst part of practices Just getting started. At 6:30 in the morning it ' s a little difficult, Senior Mike Martin said. The day was not euen half way over, but next came lifting weights. The weight room soon became filled with hot, sweaty players determined to increase their strength and stamina. No one gave up because they knew that lunch hour came next. The players were allowed an hour to eat and rest, but there was still some work in- uolued. As they took their break, it was Joined by a film study. It was the players, turn to do some mental work that would make their practicing pay off. Lunch was probably the only part of prac- tice I liked. It was great to get a little break and some time to yourself Sometimes if you ' re lucky you can get in a little nap. That ' s always nice, Tim Crank said. Most of the time there was no time for rest. After the short lunch, the team was back out for their two-hour afternoon practice. The quiet and peaceful, deserted field was now being beaten by hot, steamy rays of sunshine and it was filled with the enthusiasm of team spirit. Summer practice is like a sort of camp, which in the long run will eventually pay off, ' ' Coach Raymond Rapp said. For the guys, the work did pay off. It helped to make them stronger as players and as a team. The Horents made a stand in the exciting season games and began to make ground to the top. Kevin Smith 77 . . .

Tears and looks of desperation told their story. They had entered the sold-out gym of more than 15.000 people as the team that could not be stopped. In a few short hours the dreams of the team and their fans had been shattered. But even through woeful sobs could be heard their words of consolation, We ' ll be back next year. Weeks before they played for their fans they gave their best in practice. Their efforts would not always guar- antee victory but they continued Just the same. As the warm sweat rolled tearlike down their aching bodies, they could think of nothing but rest. They weren ' t Just doing it for them- selves but for their teammates. They didn ' t want to be the one to let the team or the school down. They knew that as long as they did their best everyone would be proud. Each year they give their time sweat and dedication to the sport they love. They are the athletes. The moves they make seem so simple actually took hours of endless prac- tice to perfect. Whether they ' re catch- ing a forty-yard pass, going for a slam, diving for a ball, or giving their last burst of energy to cross the finish line, the athletes always gave their all. Sports was a combination of the players and the fans. Both gave to each other and received much in re- turn. For the fans the athletic events gave them entertainment and in re- turn the players received the support they needed. 75 . . .

Stock shows and judging left many from FFA big winners, and the carnival was fun for everyone. rhrongs of people move as a unit, passing down the narrow streets picking up and losing passengers at the various booths. San Antonio has proven consistently to be a town full of traditions. Fiesta, a f exican in- fluence, has become a major event for people from all walks of life. Usually lasting a week Fiesta brought thousands of people together. hamu comes to SA. . . . this slogan was Vm ' plastered everywhere and on everything.

Sell the stock, sell the stock! Monday, October 19, 1987, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 508 points. This drop was the greatest fall the Stock Market had since the crash and depression in 1929. Many financial experts referred to the day as Black Monday . Bankers blamed the drop on the inflated U.S. dollar, and the trade deficit. After some stabilization, the stocks fell again in January, the third lowest drop in history. Hero or Criminal? To many Americans he was regarded as a hero, to some others, a criminal. Oliver North was the star performer and witness in the Iran-Contra hearings. Along with his paper- shredding secretary Fawn Hall, I orth reached celebrity sta- tus.

Student Life HeUl HuUhenon Fling into spring for springtime fun Springtime, the only time of the year when the flowers blossomed, the birds sang, and the noses dripped. It was the time when hayfeuer and pollen at- tacked many people and made some mornings miserable. But this was also the time when many people had the most fun. Many debated if they would rather go to the lake or lay out in the sun by the pool. Days pro- vided sunshine to deepen those tans and bring out tan lines. ' ' We lay out on our roofs to deepen our tans. We are higher up and more rays hit us. Lana Futral and Lorna Real said. Along with the tans came the millions of sun- burns. Everywhere you looked people walked around with red noses, foreheads, and necks. The scary sight was made even worse when someone came up and touched their shoulders, because a horrid scream was sure to fol- low. Throughout springtime many urdays for seniors. Special as- semblies also came to East Cen- tral such as the Just Say No rally, the Shu-Te dancers, and the Marines marching assembly. These assemblies were very in- teresting, i enjoyed the Shu-Te Girls performance the best. The costumes and dances were beau- tiful, Janice Roth, senior, said. Springtime really filled up peo- ple ' s calendars and kept them busy. The flowers made every- thing perfect. I like looking at the roadsides at the beautiful flowers because it shows a new beginning in life, Staci Shelburn, freshman, said. different events happened in school.

The show was really funny, especially Wild Wild West ' and The Butt, ' Chelle Par- sons said. Rehearsals for the show were conducted each day after school for one week. Students were to audition for the show be- fore they began to rehearse. The rehearsals needed to haue been longer than just one week. Also when they said that we were going to rehearse the show twice, well, I really didn ' t like that, especially since it was the night before the show, ' ' Bryce Johnson said. The performance was a mat- inee. The first performance was at 12 P.M., and the second perfor- mance was at 7:30 pm. ' ' Hauing a matinee was a goo idea. All of the seniors were tc gether for a whole day. We wen like a big happy family. The onli bad thing about the show Wcu that some people couldn ' t make i that night, Bryce said.

With time we mature into the person we will always be. learning and building from all our experiences. Change. As we begin to grow older certain transformations oc- cur within us and create our in- diuiduality that represents who we are. Throughout the growing pro- cess which everyone experi- ences, we all come to a certain point where we decide who we want to be. Our individuality is our label in which we use to ex- press ourselves. We also choose a path for the way we decide to do things. Since this was a year of making a stand and being who we really are. this year we did things differently. This whole year has definitely been one to remember. Many things have happened that will be great memories to look back on. I think we really made a name for ourselves. Allison Vick. senior, said. Making a name for ourselves and letting people know what we ' re made of was one of our major goals. With our boys bas- ketball team competing in the State tournament, and leaving its mark on San Antonio with its awards and outstanding accom- plishments, we gave them a grand idea of who we were. Doing things our way meant SHARE THE MAGIC. Our dynamite bas- ketball team showed us what spirit is alt about and most of all winning.

This is a moment which seni- ors show their true feelings about their last year. penings by Lana Futrat t ' aCC c cut It was simply about fun. School life was a chance for the students as well as teachers to breathe. For a few moments they were able to forget the long days of school work and homework, and simply enjoy themselves. There were many things to do and many people were al- ways willing to volunteer to help. The season usually helped you decide what you were going to do. In the fall the obvious choice once a week was the foot- ball game. Once a week the stands would fill with thousands of cheering fans. In the winter there was basketball. This activity was sometimes more difficult to do, how- ever. With seating in the gym being con- siderably less than that of the football stadium, people who wanted to see the games from good seats often found them- selves waiting in line for tickets an hour before they went on sale. Aside from sports there were many other things to do. For the first time in years there was a big Homecoming dance the day after the game. There was also a dance in Feb- ruary to honor the first ever Rowdy King and Rowdy Queen. If you didn ' t want to go out in big crowds there was always Just getting together with a couple of friends, renting a movie, and spending some time together. There wat also always the possibility of going out on a date. Students ' lives were filled with things tc do the only problem was choosing which thing it would be. The obvious occasions such as Prom, Senior trip and Graduation were obvious but the rest of the time people had to choose what they wanted to do. 29 ...

Moonlight walks on the beach, hot days, prone bodies laying in the sun, melting ice cream trickling down the chins of innocent tots. While the larger part of the school population was sub- merged in pools and smearing themselves with tropical oils, a few dedicated individuals were planning activities and going to work shops. In June members of the yearbook and newspaper staff traveled to Austin to attend a workshop aimed at helping them with writing and layout. Summer workshops were not all fun and games, we had work to do and graded on what we did. Staying at U.T. taught me a lot about being out on my own, Brooke Lee. sophomore, said. Summer months were a time for planning the coming year. Fund raisers and club activities sat heavy on leaders ' minds.

Along with its cool air, pretty blossoming flowers, and freshness, it also brings with it a time for working and starting new. For most clubs this becomes their busiest time of year. Preparing for the up- coming year, planning and making sure everything is perfect, becomes the general activities for the clubs. Really it ' s kind of a strange thought, starting our next year ' s projects while we ' re still very busy on this year ' s.

Besides their regular meetings, many clubs were sponsoring actiuities or trying to raise money for their spring projects. Almost every time you turned around someone was trying to sell you something. I sold suntan lotion, candy, pizza kits, etc. Junior San Floyd said. One of the hottest items on campus was Karmelkorn in assorted flavors, and at least once a week there was a bake sale during lunch.

V W JSf ' ii Js the hustle and bustle of school began, students got caught up not only in the rush of getting ready for school, but also getting to school early enough to go to meetings for clubs. Freshmen were bombarded by upperclassmen desperate for new blood. After they were finally swindled into one club, they realized that it was the one with the most costly dues. Members bought shirts. Jackets, patches, food, and etc. Many students soon found themselves searching their pockets for one last dollar but finding them empty. Expenses equal fundraisers, and fundraisers equal even more expenses. Many clubs started out broke, but after weeks of selling donuts and pizza kits, some clubs found themselves raking in the money. There were also fundraisers to pay for trips that clubs would plan for recreation. We raised money to go to Nashville, Tenn.. for the band. We had car washes and sold popcorn. It was really a lot of fun. Diana Bartlett said. I ' m really glad I got into a club because I got the chance to meet a lot of people. Working with TADS was like working as a part of a team.

The clickity- clacking sound of the typewriters filled the air. There were wads of paper flowing out of the trash can, with more being thrown into its di- rection. Pica rulers, croppers, quad packs and pictures were spread from corner to corner of the room. It wasn ' t hard to sight the edible. Coke cans, wrappers and pizza crusts were found wherever breathing bodies were. It was all total chaos. This was a familiar sight during a Journalism deadline. The Buzz, newspaper, and the Hor- net, yearbook, found this to be a common oc- currence. Most people don ' t realize the pressure that the yearbook staff (and sponsor) feel all year with deadlines and having to raise $25,000- -. The Job of producing a yearbook is mammoth. Sponsor Pam Smith said. Most clubs and organizations have a season of the year in which they find themselves in- crediby busy. For the yearbook and newspaper staff, busy is a year-round thing. Working on the newspaper can be very re- warding — you get to meet a lot of people, go a lot of places and write a lot of stories!! Dead- lines can be crazy. The staff puts in many extra hours and it ' s such a great feeling to see the finished product so quickly. The only thing wrong is that it can be really aggravating to remember all the hard work and see papers lying all over campus instead of being read or kept. Sometimes it ' s a thankless Job! Sponsor Sherri Padalecki said. Although the Job often became frustrating, and thankless, it was a Job well-worth doing. The newspaper left the student body informed of recent awards, updated on sports and play- ing records and of local and national events. The yearbook was a collection of the whole year ' s events.

Through many long hours of hard work, the Beta Club strove to new heights. Throughout the year the club par- ticipated actively on and off the school campus. They hosted a pep rally with the National Honor Society to wish the football players the best of luck. They also put on an obstacle course that consisted of eating pie with only your mouth and pushing the uolleybalt with your nose at the pep rally. Also, for a money-making project the club sold cookies. There were many different kinds so everyone had a choice. Also, the Beta Club sent Tim Crank to Austin to compete for the position of state Beta president. He didn ' t win, but he represented the school very well.

The unique thing about this group was that it vas two separate chapters, one sponsored by ' )arla Massey, and the other by Eilleen Fox. The reason for this was that there were so many members, but only one member from each chapter can be sent to com- petition. By having two separate chapters we can send two people and get better representation for our school, Mrs. Massey said. Plans for the second half of the year included a clothes drive for St. Peter ' s St. Joseph ' s Chil- drens ' Home and their state meeting in Fort Worth.

Many students had planned to be in band for a long time. When I was 9 I saw the band and I thought it was cool. It has been a dream of mine since then to be drum major. (I had to settle for assistant though), Senior Corky Speer said. Being in band didn ' t Just have to do with music, in fact it had many non-musical aspects; it helped the creative ability and the discipline which helped in all other areas of school. The students go through emotional highs and lows together; they learn to work with other types of people and learn to share, ' ' Di- rector Charles Kuntz said. Most members practiced eibout an hour a day. They had special sectionals to strengthen the unity of individual sections.

New difficulties came into play this year that had never happened be- fore; the dance team and band were first period. What did clubs do? Did they whither away and die? No they worked around the added difficulties in attempts to make their club the best ever. The schedules being switched around really posed a lot of problems this year but we worked it out by hav- ing a general assembly meeting in the morning one week and after school the next week. That made it possible for the members to usually make at least one meeting every two weeks, Darcelle Lamascus said. The problems for clubs were that if they had their meetings in the morning anyone who was in dance team or band would miss the meeting. If how- ever, they had their meeting in the af- ternoon the drill team, cheerleaders, and athlete ' s would miss the meeting because of practice. We half way solved our problem about meetings by having meeting dur- ing both lunches. It made it possible for everyone to come but our officers couldn ' t be at both meetings, Michele Hanson said. The new problem of meetings was only added to the problems of many clubs. Some clubs had to struggle to support themselves monetarily while other had plenty of money but not enough members. It ' s like every club in the school is trying to get you to buy something. I want to help out everyone but I Just don ' t have all the money in the world. It ' s really hard to say no sometimes because the people who are the sellers are your friends and you feel bad, Wayne Devora said. A big factor in deciding what clubs you wanted to be in is time. If you didn ' t have the time and you joined a club, you wouldn ' t be in it for long. Roxanne BrotDn be by Roxanne Brown . (M en. Here it was once again, back to school. The sum- mer was really over, and the time had come to leave the shorts behind to once again wear your best new outfit for school. Every year was the same. No matter how well you prepared yourself there was stilt al- ways a bit of tension in the air on the first day of school. You woke up an hour early. Why. you didn ' t know, but it Just always happened. Could it have been that you had six new teachers to deal with? Could it have been that there would be 400 new faces on the campus you had to deal with. Or was it simply the fact that you would get to see people you already knew, your long lost friends from summer? It was probably a little of both, but you dealt with it just the same. With each class it became a little easier as you waited for that sacred sound, the bell. That special sound that signified that class was over and then finally that school was out. Though it seemed much the same every year a few changes were evident. The cafetorium which had only been a mass of bricks the year before had suddenly transformed itself into the center of the school ' s life. For a few short hours everyday throngs of students would flock there. Some would run white others would simply take their time. They arrived though, to study, socialize, and most of all eat. Once again, however, the students had quickly adapted to their new surroundings. HIGH FASHIOIi. Putting on a fashiion show is hard work as the students in French class learned.

It was, of course, the A 1 J 1 first day of school. m If ' I w ' Your parents alivays tell you B I to go to bed early so you ' ll be I I I e± le to get up on time. The only J BB problem is that I always end up lying there Just staring at my walls until around midnight when I finally fall eisleep. I ' m so wound up that I wake up before my alarm anyway, Sarah f etheny said. There wasn ' t always a single solution to every situation, because there were many different ways of doing things. Times had changed as well as faces, and everyone had their own ideas about things. Even a traditionally football-minded com- munity went hoop crazy as the varsity boys bas- ketball team achieved national ranking as they eargerly sought the state title. I never really went to that many basketball games until we started winning a lot of games. I ' m hooked now though because they ' re just so ex- citing to watch. It ' s even great to watch them warm up because they put on a kind of show for the crowd, Krista Lebo said. The changes that ujould occur through the year created new traditions and altered old ones. For the first time in years a successful Homecoming dance was held. This new tradition in honor of the newly crowned court was made special by the recrowning of the court. It gave the students chance to see the court up close. I think that the dance was a lot of fun and il made fiomecoming weekend really special, Mi chele Hanson said. The arrangement of the classes was even changed when band and the dance team were, moved from sixth period to first period. The change brought problems for the clubs on campus because the change made morning meetings dif- ficult. The change had made it really hard to get announcements about the Junior Class to the peo- ple in band and Honeybees because they are out on the field when everyone else heard the an- nouncements. They miss meetings because they don ' t always know what ' s going on, Dayna Bry- ant said. There were many — different things about the year that brought new knowledge and friendship. Three foreign exchange students came to leeim about America as they taught us about friendship with those from other countries. Things were never Just black emd white because everyone had a different personality. By combin- ing everyone ' s ideas new and exciting things hap- pened that had never occurred before. It was not simply another year. It was a year that held both memories good and bad for everyone. Decisions were made that would shape futures, create change and make it an unforgettable year. It was the year we did things differently. RoxAime Bmum Rax nne Brown Opening A THE YELLOW DOG.
