Mark Schnuriger Jennifer Schaefer Wendy Sautter Dauid Scintos Melinda Sanchez Brenda Salazar Rachael Saenz Martha Saenz Arthur Saenz Erica Royster Jon Ross Timothy Roller They call me the fireman We ' ue all had the same feeling when we do a good deed. 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.

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. . .

Some people don ' t fall for the tradition because they say they ' ll never wear it again, but I think they are just nice to haue and maybe someday look back at it and remen ber all the great memories you ' ve had. Melinda Sanchez I really don ' t care too much for them. I wouldn ' t mind having one, but then again it wouldn ' t kill me if I didn ' t get one. I guess I feel this way because I would be the one paying for it. If my parents were going to pay for the ring then it would be like I haue to have one or die. Cassandra Young I think it ' s a necessity for a senior to have one if you can afford one. I think it would be great to haue it when you get old and then you could get it out to remind you of your high school years. I plan on getting one Just for that reason, so I can treasure it for the rest of my life. John Moy Loma Re LET ME SEE YOUR RINGI Juniors Kim McBee and Cia Iden admire Darcelle Lamascus ' class ring. All around campus you ' ve heard many Juniors debating whether or not to buy o ne. Some people would rather buy a nice dinner ring, but then there are those who would rather cherish the memories. 19 89 89 W 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 99 Class rings by Stacey Williams ... 760
