4 X Opening ,699 Q0 Bashing out A student helped his classmate with the con- junction of a Spanish verb during lunch. A teacher spent a conference period writing a col- lege recommendation for one of her seniors. We were usually assisting each other in some way. But we also helped each other in other ways. The student council had a new policy of communicating with the clubs this year. lt unified these clubs by letting them choose a homecom- ing theme and by sponsoring a club sign-up at the beginning of the year. And the clubs, in turn, reached out to the students for membership and support. But clubs weren't the only sources getting us involved. Teachers came in early to offer us ex- tra aid in tough homework assignments we just couldn't understand. And in some cases they stayed late to discuss the day's lecture with us. Or else they worked with us to plan a social schedule for an organization. And finally, we reached out to each other. We decorated each other's lockers for birthdays or sporting events. We bought carnations for each other on Friday mornings. At Homecoming we were sure to have giant mums for all our friends. And at Christmas time we exchanged gifts. But it wasn't always gifts we gave to each other. Most of the time we were there in other ways. Whether it was to provide assistance in a class or just to share a special friendship, we were always reaching out to each other. fflohenj Latin may be a dead language. However, Mrs. Griffiths, while helping Andy Taylor with his assignment, proves Latin class is quite alive. tDinwiddiej During the Hillcrest game, Randy Brewer suffers from a knee injury. Fortunate y, Coach Luedtke, Dr. Sutkers, and a backup student doctor from Fort Worth are there to give immediate treatment to his injury. fDinwiddieJ

6 X Student Life see' tai time Ull QFD Kids go out After pulling on his argyle sweater, the boy hopped into his convertible. He turn- ed the radio on to hear Billy loel's 'lUp- town Girl and he was off to pick up his date. They went to the Galleria for the 7:10 show of 'Risky Business and then drove to Gelato's for ice cream. Many of us spent our Friday and Satur- day nights like this. And if we weren't on a date, we usually rented a movie. A group of us would go to one house where we sat watching the TV, eating popcorn. After the weekend parties died away, we realized we had work to do. Sunday was usually devoted to catching up on homework from the previous week or get- ting ahead on that English essay we just promised ourselves we would start early. But even this proved difficult because of our Sunday afternoon alternatives. Prairie Creek Park waited for us to play powder- puff football. The lake offered us a place to play frisbee. Or, best of all, home pro- vided a chance for us to rest for the week that lay ahead. Though the weeks were usually monotonous, we found ways to make the time pass quickly. During homecoming we dressed up all week and worked on hall decorations. Occasionally we got together and kidnapped some unfortunate group of students. Or we sat and gossipped over lunch. And sometimes we had special events, such as the seniors' trip to Richard- son High School to see The Taming of the Shrew. After we got home, we put off homework by talking on the phone' or go- ing shopping. But no matter how we made it go by, we always found time to break the monotony by spending it with friends. lCohenJ .,..f.it,.,.Q- y,.,1...ff,,e.s..f,f'.f,.,:-ft., emu... fa.i.1s..: :.1f.,-,SJW ,..

Pacesetters Amy Bratton and Kim Dudich are happy after an outstanding performance. f0liverJ
