2 X Opening o0 dimming Quit A debut is a coming out, entering into society for the first time. Starting last summer, Pearce madeits finest debuts. We came back to school from vacation as one of the top 20 schools in the nation, according to Money magazine. And academically we made other firsts. We broke the record for the number of National Merit Semi-Finalists the district and school had. Although last year the number was 19, this year we increased it to 23. Also, a new computer room with the addition of 40 computers enlarg- ed our computer math department. Dial-a- teacher, a homework service we could dial into at night, was a new concept our district started this year. And academic coaching, another new program, also offered us aid. In this program teachers came to school at night to give us direct assistance. But academics weren't the only things we ex- celled in. This was the first year we defeated Richardson with a stunning 16-14 victory. We also had our traditional accomplishments that we excelled in. During the summer the Pacesetters won the Sweepstakes award at SMU summer camp once again. And for the fifth consecutive year the band repeated their winning perfor- mance at the Parade of Champions. But even though these were just tradition to us, we made our debuts so that they, too, could one day become tradition. lCohenJ Computers offer many new class opportunities for Early morning is the time for the band to do much of its students.
