SWEETHEARTS Flowers for the chosen Clubs develop sweet-tooth for favorite, most supportive girl By Annie Estill There are Valentine sweethearts, boy-girl sweethearts. candy sweethearts, but the best kind of sweethearts are found in the clubs. The girls who were most supportive and active in a certain club were chosen as club sweethearts. During the '78-'79 school year a Stampede, a pageant, was presented for all club sweethearts. The girls obtained titles such as Stampede Sweetheart, first runner- up. and second runner-up. Since the discontinuation of the Stampede, not all of the clubs elected sweethearts. However, when asking some of the club sponsors why they didn't elect sweethearts, Audrey Mosely. coach of the tennis team, said, We talked about nominating some- one. but it was mostly just talk and nothing else was ever said. Several clubs elected sweethearts for the purpose of bringing honor to their group by representing them. Standard election procedure followed by most clubs was the submission of several girls' names followed by a majority vote on ir. one girl. The clubs and their sweethearts were: military, Medea Lures, band,jill Curry, foot- ball, Annie Estillg basketball, Trena Bockmang track, Lisa Roladerg ICT. julie McBrideg FBLA, Carol Evans, VHOIL Sharron Hall, and art, Lisa Hudson. Lisa Rolader, who was part of the girls track team for two years, said, I was so suprised and honored that I was chosen to represent the boys track team. The girls were presented with flowers and some received gifts such as a necklace bought by the football team presented to Annie. The band and football sweethearts were presented at half-time activities during foot- ball season. The Military King. who was Henry Alderson, and Queen were announc- ed at the Military Ball and the basketball. track, ICT, FBLA, VHOE, and art sweethearts were presented with flowers and announced over the speaker at school. junior Carol Evans replied. I thought it was only seniors who could be sweethearts and I wasnt expecting it.

78 LEGISLATION Lows Curb drinl-ring Control slapped on minimum wage Although escape is an alternative in almost any situation. some things are inesca- pable. Rules and regulations. for instance. must be acknowledged, or penalties are imminent. One legislative bill. signed by Governor Bill Clements on May 7, forced 17-year-olds with birthdays after September 1, 1981. to face the fact that they wouldn't be able to purchase liquor until they turned 19. According to Representative Ilenry Allee. the reason for the bill was to keep alcohol out of high schools. I know that on a Saturday night. they Cteenagers under 191 are going to be able to find it. But at least we can keep them from going to school drunk, stated Allee. Another nationwide ruling regulated the sale ofnon-alcoholic beverages. The ll.S. Department of Agriculture decided that cokes and other carbonated beverages. along with certain kinds of foods and candies. were detracting from the school lunch programs. To avoid this. carbonated beverages, candies. and foods that did not meet specific nutritional requirements were sold only after the last lunch period ended. Soft drink machines. equipped with only special locking devices, returned only fruit Ir's the Real Thing! xx as not available until after 1:50. Si drinks before 1:50, Cheerleaders. in charge of candy machines. stocked only items that met nutrition requirements for morning sales. The 81: percent increase in minimum wage, started January first, opened up a new line of discussion that could have burdened teenagers tnore than the raise in legal drink- ing age. President Ronald Reagan, along with Chairman of Senate Labor and Iluman Resources Committee. pushed for setting subminimum wages for teens, Supporters of the subminimum wage said it would make more jobs available for teen- agers. who had a high unemployment rate. Students argued that they do the same work as 31-year-olds and deserve the 8211116 pay. In order to prevent transfers within the district, the liirdville School District ruled that students in ninth grade must decide which high school they will attend, and sign an agreement to that effect. Once enrolled in that school. he could not participate in any Lniversity lnterscholastic League activity at another school in the district. liach of these regulations. constituted for the benefit of everyone concerned. added more unescapable restrictions to the lives of teenagers. Jrne addicts stopped at 7-11 on the way to school. 1 im'
