CVAE fCoordinated Vocational Academic Educationj has given me the chance to meet a lot of really nice people while learning how to use toolsff said Bobby Lemons. Learning that patience, as well as tools, are required in the woodworking trade, Bobby spent four months restoring an antique ice box. The young carpenter acquired an old ice box from his grandmother and began the process of restoration. Following four months of sanding, painting and varnishing, Bobby's labor finally paid off. His project was entered in CVAE Woodworking Regional contest at Spring High School and Bobby came away with a first place ribbon. The project later placed third at State contest in Galveston. CVAE, as well as his awards, have given Bobby the dream of being the boss of a major construction company and the confidence to achieve it. Humble not usually thought of as a dream-come- true city is seen just that way by Elaine Mateo. lt had always been a fantasy of mine to take French, said the San juan, Puerto Rico native, and moving to the United States gave me that opportunity. In only two short years in the French language, Elaine has been chosen twice for Who's Who in Foreign Languages in Texas and Oklahoma and has received two H awards. She also won third place at the Stephen F. Austin Foreign Language Festival and fifth in the Houston Baptist University French National contest making her eligible for Regional competition. As far as foreign languages go, I plan to further my education in Spanish and French while in college. I hope to be a doctor, and since I will be working with a lot of different people, I will use my languages. Perhaps Elaine will be the first Humble-produced doctor capable of giving a diagnosis in three languages. Sophomore Faces Q fx us:-: if ,,..........-.M I

My mother says I was born dancing. It is in my blood, said Nikki lvlelendez. When I was two years old, I won a twist contest held at a drive-in. It was an endurance contest and I lasted longestff explained Nikki. That is how Nikki began dancing, now something that comes as habit to him. My family seems to be proud of my dancing - except when I dance at the grocery store while we are shopping. Along with dancing, Nikki has established himself on the track team. While the Sophomore lettered on the Varsity team, he was third place finisher in the District l6AAAA Mile. Nikki said he took Track in order to run and keep myself in shape. Running gives me the wind and endurance for dancing while dancing keeps me Iimber for running. I really enjoy both of them. I love dancing. If no one likes it because I dance, it doesn't matter. It is part of me and I try to be myself at all times - not what other people want me to be. I don't expect them to be any different than they are either. I just like being me. l I 1 1 5 I Z I l Danny Tidwell stands tall among his fellow classmates Not only does Danny physically carry more height than his peers, he also carries the title of District slide rule champion. In his Freshman year, the young mathematician was first in District IOAAA slide rule, fourth in Regional and alternate to State competition. Danny's Sophomore year saw him again deemed first in District slide rule. His second District championship came harder for Danny since it was in the tougher I6AAAA division. Proving that he was not all slide rule, Danny was honored with the Elliott Curtis Award. Given to one boy o each grade level by the faculty, this award means that the student is outstanding in character, service, leadership and citizenship.
