Traditions Provide Variety Ot Activity Some traditions in Huskyland date from the early sixties with new ones added each year. These traditions become a happy time for the whole stu- dent body to share. One of the strongest traditions is that of dress-up days. West- ern Day and Fifties Day are set outside the WEEK OF KING. Designated to celebrate this special week honoring our mascot KING are RED AND BLUE and PUTTING ON THE RITZ days. A highlight of this week is the day on which each classification decides to dress on a particular theme such as nerds, twins, opposites, back- wards, or gangsters. A special MUM DAY cele- brates the final game of the season played against the Burkburnett Bulldogs and to welcome the Alumni for home- coming. A tradition of long-standing which rewards academic hon- ors to seniors is the LOYALTY AWARD. Underclassmen as well as seniors are selected for the PRIDE OF HIRSCHI award. Based not on popular- ity or beauty, these awards are in recognition of academic achievement. Traditions are here to stay, and new ones arise every year designed to be passed on . . . so, LET'S PASS THEM ON! ,se 'Il , F55 Qi Z Senior cheerleaders Joyce Alexander and Marilyn Mills help deliver mums on Mum Day as they trudge along under a heavy load of mums of their own.

lnvolved Students Play The Game Involved teenagers are never left out in the cold! Plus, getting involved makes the school year seem shorter when filled with excitement. There are many organizations which provide ample opportunity for everyone to get involved. Every activity requires additional time and energy, before, during or after school. Fund-raising is a primary activity with community service groups designed to help meet the needs of specific people throughout our city. Cheerleader Marilyn Mills changes from game clothes to casual dress for the sad trip home from the Cleburne Bi-District game. Though the game was tied. we lost on penetrations. Most of the groups are extra-curricular in natureg however, there are several non-curricular activities which are programmed to help students become better citizens. We have thirty-two clubslorganizations on our campus and six sports on freshmen, junior and senior levels, in which 954 students are active. While some of these students are involved in more than one area, that number indicates that at least 90 of, of our 1056 students are busy in ways other than sitting in class. Working on a computer program, Senior Carmen Frederici spends extra time on a theme assignment. NNW 3 swat Y Band parents sold helium-filled balloons during the annual spaghetti supper held during fall open house for Public Schools Week. Senior Susan Fetterly was incarcerated in the STOCKS by masked enforcers Dusty Roberson and Gilbert Gann. The occasion was the Renaissance Festival on May 3, 1985. Student Life - .2 s
