...af 2-- M . Proving our point l'Spreading our wings summed up our attitudes toward achievement all right, but it did not mean anything until we produced some results. And that we did. We showed strength in all aspects of student life: sports, clubs, and academics. For example, both the varsity baseball and the varsity girls' basketball teams played in the bi-district playoffs. Also, track team member Beth Maluski com- LUNCHTIME I5 THE BEST TIME for friends, Lisa Patterson and Holly Holbrook talk over things during the most relaxing time of the school day. peted in the state U.I.L. meet. Most clubs swept up awards in their respective competitions, the Spanish club, for one, received a trophy for the scrapbook which they entered in state competition. The band also enjoyed a fine year with some of its members advancing to regional contests. Finally, it was obvious that quality performance in school activities did not mean that quality performance in academics was not possible. Twelve students were recognized for their scores on the National Merit Achievement test. This was the first year that this great a number of students qualified for recognition, including three who were finalists. Also, large numbers of students filled the Calculus AP and English AP classes and remained in those classes for both semesters. Finally, freshman Victor Lam figured his way to state competition in U.l.L. math. However, this is merely a sample of the effects of the force within the students and faculty of our school.

Promotin Patriotism The word got around and patriotism was in. We took each red-white- 8 and-blue event with not only acceptance, but also with pride. For the first time we recited the pledge weekly, but by the end of the first semester, it became a daily ritual. Even before Student Council Congress President Cheryl Loe had a chance to request of everyone to rise for the pledge, classes were already standing. This showed an awareness of patriotism within everyone, Moreover, an entire week was designated as the I Love America Week, sponsored by Student Congress, as contests and dress-up days were con- ducted. Also, an hour-long assembly was presented at the conclusion of the week, during which talks by such distinguished guests as a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution, a Vietnam war veteran, and an Astros baseball player were given. These spirit-full activities not only remind' ed us of our freedom, but also established a permanent sense of appreciation for our country within us. For once we were alert about it, we could promote patriotism among the society around us. The theme of the week hangs prominently in the commons. Cheryl Loe hands winner jim Williams his prize cookie for being one of the most spirited during the week. opening
