' 'Qtraif Texas t was the era of spangles, sparkles and custom made western attire, Stetsons, boots, bandanas and designer jeans. Rodeos, 4-H, FFA, cattle, agriculture, stockyards, cattle ranges mixed together well with a generous pinch of western heritage and tradition. All those in- gredients blended together to mark the dynamic year of the 150th birthday of Texas In- dependence, The Sesquicenten- nial Celebration. With urbanization and super highways there's not much chance these days for even the average Texan to experience the Old West.” However, at JHS the Year- book staff decided to celebrate the birthday of Texas In- dependence a bit early and called it “Western Day at JHS. With all the talk of George Strait, good 'ole boys, ranches and just “plain cowboys, JHS was the perfect place to have a western day. Some students really got into the western theme by riding their horses to school. It came as a shock when students looked over the campus and saw cowboys in jeans, spurs, cowboy hats and boots riding their horses just like they did in the Old West.” Western day at JHS was a suc- cess because of the number of cowboys, ranchers and western heritage that surrounded Junc- tion. Although students of the ‘80's are part of the modern generation, most of them still believed in their western heritage and tradition that was part of their environment. The Sesquicenten- nial Celebration was indeed con- sidered to be Strait Texas.” Dressed in her western duds. Cheryl Keith smiles at classmates on Western Day.

Ability to Win 11 A n athlete, who has the ability but doesn't try hard to become the best, is missing much from sports. In order to win, an athlete must have the determination and the will to want to win. The key to winning is to never give up and to think in your mind that you can achieve regardless of the outcome. These were the words of Mr. J. C. Goher, assistant coach at Midland Lee High School, who was the guest speaker at the Football Banquet. Football players, cheerleaders and their dates received a reward for the past year on February 2, as they enjoyed a grilled steak dinner and a dance afterwards, which were both held at the Catholic Annex. Coach Lynn Spivey reminisced about the past year, the football players, cheerleaders, and pep squad were recognized, and the dance began. Couples danced the night away to music provided by Jeff Maddux. Dancing the night away, Courtnay Caudla and Toby Spivay enjoy the music at the Football Banquet. The graduating seniors of the Varsity Football team are Bill Templeton, Robert Clark. Russell Cooke, Chris Castillo, Stephen Zeiters, Ramiro Castillo, David Alvarado, Doby Murr, and Tony Mar- tinez who stand with Mr. J. C. Goher, and Coach Lynn Spivey.
