When they entered Haltom for the first time, several doubted they would ever feel at ease. Walking down large corridors filled with so many strangers was enough to make most wonder if they would survive the first day. Looking for a friend, one sophomore caught sight of . . . could it really be? Yes, it was! A Journey t-shirt. At least someone in this place has good taste, he thought. Keeping an eye out for other familiar shirts, he found too many to count. There were Van Helen, Rolling Stones, Yamaha and Nike t-shirts as well as a few with college names on them. Realizing that the people wearing these shirts must not be too different from himself, the newcomer breathed a lot easier. After all, how bad could a person wearing a Pepsi shirt be anyway? Some t-shirts simply advertised merchan- dise, such as Adidas sportswear, while others seemed to be a sort of status symbol. Rock concert t-shirts, by far the most popular, let everyone know who went to each concert. fOr, whose older brother or sister went, then was conned out of his or her shirt.J I wear them because l want people to know which groups l like. Besides, they're the only kind live got, sophomore Perry Moore explained. Sophomore Donnie Lee simply stated, I want people to know that I'm a 'rocker'. Several students announced to anyone who cared which college they planned to go to. Future Aggies could be spotted by their Texas A8:M shirts. A few brave and perhaps foolish souls even wore Oklahoma University shirts around people wearing University of Texas shirts, or visa versa. Other t-shirts expressed an opinion or feel- ing of the wearer. Sophomore Stacy Fargo donned his shirt proclaiming I donit take defeat lightly, I wear it because itis true, Stacy said. Sophomore Julie De Luis wore a shirt with the request Be patient! God isn't finished with me yet, because she liked the saying. Sophomore Mark Borge summed up the reason he thought people wore various t-shirts. They show a person's character, stated Mark as he leaned back, tapped on his own tee, and grinned. His said, Athlete in train- ing. l f., .W nv. K.

otorcross tends to breed special kid Devoted enthusiasts dish out money, spend all their free time, risk injuries The refreshing breeze whistled through the oaks along a winding trail. Several birds chirped peacefully in the treetops while a rabbit scampered across a field. Suddenly the quiet was shattered by an increasing whine of engines. A high pitched roar of power broadcasted the arrival of two motor- cycles. Having leaped a small hill, each flew through the air with the rider nearly stan- ding. The bikes hit the ground roughly and caused a cloud of dust to engulf them and their surroundings. With balance regained, they roared down the trail. Except for rustl- ing wings of the startled birds, all became silent again. That could have been a scene from a motocross race at Mosier Valley, Burleson, Lake Whitney, or perhaps just good friends having fun on the trails in their area. Motor- cross could be considered the roughest com- petitive sport in the world and second only to soccer in physical demands. Some Taking a breather after an hour of fancy motor- cycle riding, sophomores Billy Carroll and Mark Borge discuss new methods of showing off. When not out riding, sophomore Travis Franklin stays up-to-date on the newest motorcycle equipment by reading his favorite motocross magazines. sr- 2:29 ft., ..-. 1 ' 2 , . ,,: .--- , I T if - K .. . ....

If you want to be good, Sophomore Mark Borge emphasized, and I mean one of the best, it takes a whole lot of thinking and concentration. You lose that and you wreck, it's as simple as that. Precision, balance, and quick evaluation are needed to keep from having a spill. Every detail in the trail must receive the riderls full attention. A slight miscalculation can cause an accident. It does not take much to crash when going seventy miles per hour. For junior Cecilia Couch it did not take much to crash when going only twenty miles per hour. I was coming home one day and I decid- ed I didnit want to go over the curb like I usually do because I always hit it so hard, Cecilia said, blushing slightly. So I di' wheelie over the curb - and ended up 1 ning into the house! Finance is an important considerati Not only must the price of the motorcycle reckoned with, but the expenses of the sa ty gear too. I-Ielmets, face masks, glow knee pads, and special boots are a neces if costly months in a hospital are to avoided. I Travis Franklin, sophomore, found t out the hard way.
