Although every student's face was pictured at least once, it was a difficult task to record the feelings of each person who attended J .V. But we found a way. One thousand 1986 Falcon Polls were distributed to each of the English classes. And since there were only one thousand printed, it was im- possible to poll every student in the school. Teachers were supplied with an adequate amount of polls and Scan- Tron sheets. In a weeks time, 801 polls were returned, com- pleted. Then the task of run- ning them through the Scan- Tron machine began. This was done in order to get the percentage of each answer tc each question. Many of the results were typical, but a few were surprising. The results did not give an individual's reactions, but it did group them with the reactions ol others. In short, the purpose of the poll was to reveal the People Undercover.

If a man and woman have the same job status, then their salary should be equal. Abortion should remain legal. If she were qualified, I would vote for a woman for president. If there were a national draft, women would be drafted too. I feel that our national government is doing a good job. I feel that I am getting a good education that will adequately prepare me for a job. Educational opportunities for men' and women are equal. My teachers are doing a good job. very conce 702 412: 512: 352: 402 382: 2 12 642 agree 672 482 482: 822: 512: 622 352: 302: 602: 512 522: med somewhat concerned 182: 282: 352 192: 262: 352: 282: 222: neutr 192 212: 162 92 222: 152: 232 412: 242: 182 812: al not very not at all concerned concerned 82: 42 202 1 12 82 62 162 302: 21 2: 132 202 62: 252 262 102: ' 42 disagree can 't decide 122: 22: 212: 102: 302: 62: 7 2: 22: I 2 12: 62 162 72 342: 82 172: 122: 1 12: 52: A 262 52 92 82 Doub le Page Spread by Missy Buckale

Beamlng With pride 0 o A ' Sterotyping appears in every school, mo matter the size of the student body. People who wore glasses and carried a stack of books were considered nerds, or if they wore cowboy boots and drove a truck, they were considered kik- kers. But in actuality, each person was unique and could not fit every characteristic in acertain group or club. Schools, as well as people, were unique. Jersey Village was no different, for it was the students who made it stand out above the rest.

The month of October was specifically set aside as Drug Awareness Month, and during the entire month, projects and contests were set up throughout the district. Many awards were given to individuals and group projects. But the brightest aspect of the Drug Awareness program was the Friendline. Students were encouraged to call the volunteer service if they had a problem with drugs or just wanted talk to someone. Another program instituted during the year was put into affect by the students, themselves. With the work of Stu- dent Leaders, a special spirit section was set aside at the Cy-Fair Stadium. Sections were also reserved at stadiums for the 'away football games. And although the football season resulted in a disappointing one, the student section helped rejuvenate the spirit that had been lying dormant in the past. Written by Missy Buclralew.
