Deep in conversation. Monty Walker and Shirley Davis sit on the 'H” at lunch. Weekends Were Made for Eagles r -r-ring! It was Friday, seventh i hour, and the bell had finally rung. Students rushed from their classrooms and out of the halls. But where were they going? A popular answer was I'm gonna party!” However, just what “partying actually was, was quite vague. Senior, Cheryl Keith, gave some insight when she said, I go to a friend's house, listen to Country and Wester music and iust have fun meeting people.” Eating out was another common activity. Since most of the really good” restaurants were in Kerrville most students drove in packs, 50 miles, to eat at places such as Pizza Hut or Mr. Gatti’s. Sophomore Roy Russell said, “My ideal night would be grilling steaks, enjoying a coke, and going to a movie with a gorgeous date.” School-sponsored activities were also quiet popular. “I like going to school dances, commented senior Norma Riojas. “most of the time the band and D.J.’s are good and I like dancing with my friends.” Although not as entertaining, jobs kept many students busy on their weeknights. Many students spent time hunting and trapping during December and January weekends, while still others spent time fishing. Not everyone spent time on weekends doing the same ole' things. All in all weekends were a fun time and for most, a time just for partying” and getting ready for Monday morning school bell. In the middle of the crowd. Melba Ybarra and James Hernandez enjoy watching the freshmen scrub the cement tables. Feeling at home on the •1H,” Shawn Murft chaws on a toothpick while laughing with his friends during lunch.

Christmas Holidays Saved by ednesday January 2, Christmas vacation was over and school was to begin again. Students got up from their warm beds ready to start class. They looked out their window to find their whole world blanketed in snow. Junction was covered with four inches of snow, much to the dismay of the ranchers and stockmen, but to the enthusiasm of students who were to end their Christmas vacation and begin the first day of the second semester. Buses could not run over the snow and ice packed country roads, therefore, Mr. James Whitehead, Superintendent, declared Wednesday January 2, a holiday because of bad weather. What would the students do? What else? Play in the snow. Travis Murr, a J.H.S. junior, and his friends figured out a unique way of getting around town. Instead of sledding on their own power they used a pickup the Snow with plastic bags on their feet, while holding on to the back of a truck and skiing down Main Street. Cathy Stewart spent some of her snow day taking pictures for the annual staff. Many J.H.S. students had snowball fights in friend’s yards and just generally enjoyed another day of vacation. Classes began again on Friday, January 4th and the second semester resumed. Another record-breaking snowfall then occurred on Sunday January 13th and Junction was again covered with a nine-inch blanket of snow. Classes were again called off because of bad weather. And of course students did. what else? Make snowmen, have snowball fights and sled up and down the highway. January of 1985 will be a January never to be forgotten. Who said it never snows in Kimble County! While preparing to throw a snowball, Danny Rendon makes use ol his lunch break by having a snowball tight with friends. Under a blanket of snow, the J.H.S. Eagle watches over the J.H.S. campus. Searching for his next victim, Shawn Murff rolls a snowball. Sponsored by The Paks Corporation and Employees Box 625, 446-3366 16 JHS SHOW
