' '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.

The World of Daydreams he World of Daydreams: mysterious and captivating. Just what goes through the mind of a daydreamer? A dream of suspense, or love? I think about the past and of the future and what I'll be when I get older,” responded David Rojas. Many students shared their thoughts of daydreams, about their girlfriends or boyfriends. Senior, Melinds Dunbar said that she dreamed about college and all the fun she would have, while the only word from Nathan Allan was. ' Girls.'' Although some had their minds on personal things, others thought about sports. Heather Olsen said, “I think about basketball, especially the really important games and the way we are going to beat our opponent.” Daydreams were an important part of the day-to-day routine and with the coming of spring all” students daydreamed much more than normal. But no matter what the time of year, students at J.H.S, were no different from any other student at any other high school when it came to daydreaming in class. As usual, when the teacher asked a question, the student was awakened from their world of a daydream and realized that they should have listened to the lesson instead of dreaming of worlds unknown. Patiently waiting tor the ball to ring, Courtney Wicker take time to relax and daydream. 22 JHS Dir DM AMS With hands folded and her mind far away, Amy Goodman relaxes in Physical Science seventh period.
