Excelling athletes, clubs and fine arts were a reason to claim We 're movin' on Sports would not be left behind either. Major milestones included the girls basketball team winning their first district title with an impressive undefeated record. Senior team members Joanna Hooker and Kathy Anderson attracted major college scouts, as did Senior Jay Crane and Junior Bill Wirskye of the Boys Varsity team. Todd Phelps, senior, received a football scholarship from the Texas Tech Red Raiders. The Girls Cross Country team again ad- vanced to the state meet, as did Mike Ford of the boys team. Other signs of change, such as the starred uniforms of the boys basketball team, and the new dress and hair codes of the Athletic Department, moved the teams on to higher standards. Other areas that excelled included band, choir and F.B.L.A. In the band, Senior trumpet player Paul Bramlett earned a position in the Ft. Worth Youth Orchestra and the Lion's Club All-State Band. Junior Lonnie McCloud led the choir achievers by becoming a member of the All-State Choir for the second year in a row. The Future Business Leaders of America returned from their yearly district con- test with the Sweepstakes Award for the most contest wins. They also received the Outstanding Chapter Award. Through the efforts of these organizations, our extra- curricular activities moved on to greater heights. -vii? The cafeteria became a popular place to eat. Todd Phelps, senior, enjoys his lunch.
