0 ELECTIONS Votes Cost on separate doys Council positions Competition stiff The presidental election in November electing Ronald Reagan was not the only important election. Instead of nine cheerleaders, twelve were elected for next year's squad, consisting of nine juniors and three sophomores. Accor- ding to Mrs. Bettye Wright, cheerleader sponsor, the reason is that cheerleaders will be at each sport, boys as well as girls, throughout the year. The girls will be divid- ed into teams, and a certain team will be responsible for a certain game. According to Mrs. Wright, the only time the cheerleaders will be all together is at the boy's varsity games. The cheerleader elections were the second week of April. Anita Edmonds, Deedee Griggers, janet Holt, janice Kossbiel, jill johnson, Sue McDade, Melinda White and Kim William- son were the prospects for the three junior positions. After performing one group cheer and two individual cheers, Melinda, janice and Sue came out victorious. These were all junior high cheerleaders, Melinda and janice at Haltomjunior and Sue at North Oaks. The competition for the senior positions was not quite as stiff. Nancy Booth, Carol Evans, Pam Faulkner, Karla Kittrell, Amy Krupka, Cindi McMullin, Marcy Moran, Melanie Nowell, Mary Ann Richardson, Pam Rodriguez and Tara Schooler all tried out for the nine senior positions. After going 7.--IN Seniors Allen Payne and Rusty Biles and sophomore Wendie Wright were a part of sophomore Diana McGill's skit for student council secretary. Dianas' whole campaign was centered around pickles and the Vlasic theme. through the same group cheer and the same two individual cheers, Nancy. Carol, Karla. Amy, Cindi, Melanie, Mary Ann, Pam Rodriguez, and Tara came out winners. Three girls tried out for mascot, Diana Standley, Cindy Pemberton and lfelisia johnson. These three girls were allowed to do skits instead of cheers. Felisia was elected. Later in the week after the cheerleader elections, the sophomores and juniors once again went to the auditorium for the student council elections. junior David Thornburg and junior Robb White ran for president of the student body with Robb coming out on top. Steve Mylius, who served as parliamen- tarian, was elected vice-president over Carol Porter. Debbie McGee defeated sophomore Diana McGill for the office of secretary. Katrina Lewis ran unopposed for the treasurer position. Barry Wright beat Sheri Drysdale for the position of parliamentarian. Instead of using the Tarrant County voting machines, the voting was done by in- dividual computer ballots. Iiach candidate was given a number. The numbers were plac- ed beside a bubble on a card and each stu- dent stated their preference by bubbling in the number. No names were on the ballot. The computer-like cards were then run through a machine which calculated the total in just minutes. Another change in the schedule for the elections was that the elections were on dif- ferent days. This was done to keep the students from becoming restless and bored in the assembly, according to Mrs. jan Ed- wards, SC sponsor. Later on during the first of May, the elec- tions were conducted for the junior and senior class officers. These were also done with the voting machine mentioned above, according to assistant principal Mrs. joAnn Kelley, Del Pentecost was elected president for the senior class, Mark Newman vice- president, Pam Rodriguez secretary, Ray Clark treasurer, Senior representatives elected were Deb- bie Barnes, Sandi Harris, Waylon llawkins, Ifelisia johnson, Kim Kinglsley, Danny Lewis, Cindy Pemberton, Pam Rodriguez and David Thornburg.
