've got the tournament blues To think that everyone is at these tournaments not only for the competition but to interpret the artistic value of a piece - it's wonderful! summed up speech student Cari Carty. lt can be an ex- tremely humbling experience when you think you did well but the judge doesn't agree. Speech Director Mrs. Marshann Carlile, aided at times by Mr. Keith Hammons, Ms. Kay Weiman, and Miss Rhonda Saldivar, ac- companied the speech students on a total of eight tournaments. Through Debate l have learned to pound ideas and facts into situations that allow one to balance two sides of a story and come out with the best results, philosophized Bruce Carney. The most memorable tournament was when we won the second place trophy at Dallas, remembered Marty Kunz. We were the on- ly Houston school there and we took the tournament by storm. We showed those schools who Jersey Village is! The most memorable tournament was Ballaire, disagreed Bruce Carney. l was debating an ex-firlfriend when l bent down to pick up a pencil and my pants ripped. Rather embarrassing, you know. P Marty Kunz and Julie Bridges grab a quick bite to eat at the traditional pre- tournament lunch stop.

ilence is golden The mime troupe was not very visible this year Cthey definitely were nc audiblelj, but they were active. The troupe gave a performance shortly befor Christmas for the handicapped at the Shriners' Hospital. The memory of all the smiling faces will always remain, reflected Ra Villaman. Through mime, you learn to control your body movements to create character within yourself, explained Cari Carty. l have learned about myself, my peers, and the human spectre, philosophized Amy Peterman.

He raises his head sleepily to peer at his alarm clock - it is 3:00 a.m. The phone rings again, snapping Mike further out of his sleep. Hello, Mike says into the receiver. Good morning, Mike, ah urgent voice says over the phone. This is Major Hicks. We have an important mission. Call your flight squadron. We will meet at 0400 hours and leave for Ellington Air Force Base. Mike, not fully awake, replaces the receiver. He quickly notifies his flight squadron, dons his uniform, and checks his mission sup- plies. At 4:00 a.m. he is no longer high school student Mike Men- doza, he is Cadet First Lieutenant Michael Mendoza. This is an account of an imaginary mission. However, Lt. Men- doza and his fellow cadets often must drag themselves out of their warm, comfortable beds to respond to an ELT - Emergency Locator Transmitter. When an aircraft crashes, the ELT is transmitted, explained Cadet Warrant Officer Lee Cioodell. A commercial aircraft will usually pick up the signal. They relay it to the air force base. The base then calls the squadrons in the area closest to the signal. Some of the CAP's responsibilities on these searching missions is to findlost or disabled planes which are transmitting an ELT, and administering first aid when necessary. Ninety-nine percent of the time, the ELT is a false alarm - a pilot working on his plane, for example, touches ti off, further ex- plained CWO Goodell. One time we knocked on the door of a house transmitting a signal, and all the cadets in their uniforms scared the pilot's wife! The CAP cadets do not perform all of their activities in uniform, however. They participated in many school functions - as ushers at football games, as flag-raisers at the school, and even as mus- cle men when the yearbooks needed to be carried upstairs!
