'I No doubt one of the most active clubs in school was the Spanish Club. From Mexican fiestas to downtown parades, the Spanish Club was con- stantly up and about. One event was the trip to El Mercado Del Sol, a large downtown Mexican market with little shops that sold everything from sombreros to pinatas. Those that went on the trip said it really gave them the opportunity to put to use what they had been learning in class. After about an hour in the atmosphere I really felt like I was south of the border, said Junior Sandra Tsai. At the end of the day the club com- pleted their trip with dinner at Adrian's. The club didn't consist of just fun and games. At the beginning of the year they collected donations after hearing of the disastrous ear- thquake in Mexico. During Christmas time, they decided to put to good use the spare calendars they had from their fundraiser by giving them to a nearby nursing home. I think the reason why it was such a live club was because whatever event we participated in, we learned a little bit more about another culture. This was what being in the Spanish Club was all about. Junior Irene Pai said. Written by Angelica Smith. As Senior Danny Cuellar and Junior Sandra Tsai show one of the many calendars the Spanish Club sold for their fundraiser, Junior Victor Lam visualizes himself in the Ferrari speeding down the freeway.

The scrapbook, all of which is in Spanish, is sent off to San Antonio to be judged against other scrapbooks. Clubs enter the contest in hopes of winning a reward for originality and creativity. Being on the scrapbook committee required a lot of dedication. Ms. Emily Boyd, Victor Lam, Shannon Lyerly, Carl Vu, Carlos Bosquez, Chad Cartwright, Danny Cuellar, Irene Pai, and Sandra Tsai show how much thought is needed to create a design for the cover.

5 ' , I As the Gold Dusters stood ready to march out on to the field and perform their routine a voice came over the loud speaker, Ladies and gentlemen, may I introduce the Jersey Village Gold Dusters! Everyone in the stands clapped as the girls marched on the field and, at the sound of the whistle, began their performance. I wanted to be the best I could be, Karen Rose said. Practice for the half-time performances took many hours of hard work every afternoon. In addition to school performances Gold Dusters participated in half- time at the Cy-Fair Ses- quecentennial, half-time at a Rockets game and the Livestock Show and Rodeo opening ceremonies. They also entered in competitions such as the Houston Invita- tional at the Astorarena and a National competition in San Marcos, Texas, where they received Grand Sweepstakes for their outstanding performances. Not only did being a part of Gold Dusters give the members a good workout and alot of experience in dancing, it gave them new and close friends. We stuck together both in and outside of Drill. We were like one huge family, Deann Regeine said. Written by Meridith Schaefer. And...Fiv , ' , even, Eight By helping out at football games and practices, Escorts, Andy Correll, Craig Blankenburg and Chris Eaves and Manager, Carol Chumley, made the year easier for the Gold Dusters. Being in Gold Dusters meant alot to me and this year I had a great time being manager and seeing the Gold Dusters do their best, Chumley said. After dedicating many hours to practice, Miss Diane Bucey, Director, led the Gold Dusters to a very successful year at competition. For their novelty routine at competition in San Marcos, the G Dusters perform to Somebody Come and Play . 84 Gold Dusters Double Page Spread by Meridith Schae
