While seniors prepared to leave the school and juniors to take their place, elections helped in The changing of the guard Elections served an important school func- tion, both at the beginning and at the end of the year. They represented the changing of the guard, as the new replaced the old. At the beginning of the year, clubs who had not previously done soelected officers. Sweethearts, such as Band Sweetheart An- drea Renfro or Football Sweetheart Sheree Hopkins, were elected and presented at football games. The Homecoming Queen, Cheryl Brown, and the Princesses were also selected during football season. Sophomores began their high school years with an election of class officers. Toward the end of the year, even more elections were held. Cheerleader tryouts were scheduled April 29, and eight girls were chosen from those who competed. Melanie Sanderson, running unchallenged, was chosen as mascot, Class officer elections 2 . for the Junior and Senior classes were held the same day. Student Council officers and class representatives were elected April 6. There was not much participation in the Student Council election, and only two positions were challenged. Seniors participated in elections for Mr. and Miss Haltom, Danny Van De Mark and Melinda White, and class representatives, such as Most Likely to Succeed, or Class Clown. These elections were held in May and announced at the Prom. Teachers elected the Who's Who of Haltom and chose achievers during May. The winners were announced during the Recognition Assembly.
