“J C7 he parking lot just wasn't big enough! It seemed that as the days went by, another senior would show up with a new car. Although most seniors were sad to be leaving, the new car was a little comfort. Oscar )ohn Abilez's brown Ford Mustang became a common sight about half-way through the year. Shortly after that, Jeannie Randolph's red Buick Le Sabre showed up to brighten the street. Quite a few of last years sophomores and juniors came to school with new, but not-so-new, cars last year, too. The most common place for finding these new automobiles was on Main Street; at any hour of the day. Another place was on the other side of the dam: in the mud. Billy Bob Castleberry's red Nissan 4x4 was found over there quite often after a storm, as was Missy Brooks' Wy Car Chrysler Cordoba. Most students at J.H.S. agreed that the best thing about having their own vehicle was being able to go anywhere, anytime, without having to bum rides. Jamey Newbury commented, I wouldn't be able to do anything without my truck. It's like a second home. Another common feeling among licensed students was, as Kim Happner stated, No, it doesn't run well, but it runs. The most favored cars among students were sports cars, for example, the lroc-Z28 and the Monte Carlo SS. Second favorites were pickups, with double cab cooleys dominating. Overall, one of the most important things to J.H.S. students were their cars. Seeing something amusing, Billy Bob Castleberry and Tony Martinez keep an eye on their surroundings.

Gathering around the new Mustang, Kelly Kothmann, Stacy Davis, Traci Davidson, David Rojas, and Oscar |ohn Abilez let out the last of the crazies before returning to class. Hurrying to beat the tardy bell, Ashley Campbell takes a quick glance across the street before rushing for the building. Trying to save herself from the rain, Melissa Evans tosses her books into her car after school. 26 CARS Sponsored by CEDAR FIBER CO. P.O. Box 127, Junction, Texas, 446-2571

Grimacing at the outcome of a play, Jesus Sala ar watches intently from the sideline. Knowing Jt was a hot, sticky September day as the football team lined up on the seven yard line. The quarterback gave the signal and was snapped the ball. There was an insistant yelling from the crowd; everyone chanted in unison GO, BLACK, GO. The quarterback spotted an open receiver and fired the ball to him. The crowd went wild, as the Eagles scored their first touchdown of the season. Two boys poured over their open books that surrounded them. One found an important fact; they congratulated themselves, wrote it down and continued their research on a debate topic. Their dream was to be the best cross-examination debate team in the district. Spirit is hard to define, said senior Mar- shall Heap, but even the elementary kids know what it is. The hush in the crowd before a free throw was shot, the tears of joy as the Eagle football team advanced to Bi-district play, the admiration the students participating in U.I.L. Literary received after winning the district meeting, are all different situations yet they are all the same because they were built and supported by spirit, said Susan Henry. Whatever the occasion, spirit shined through to guide the student body. From hot August two-a-days to endless work in the classroom to graduation, the students singlemindedly pur- sued spirit never knowing what form it would appear in next. The teachers may have had to remind stray- ing athletes of the duties in the classroom, and the coaches may have had to remind straying athletes of their duties on the playing field. But both athletes and students did their best t ecause they knew how important spirit was in every field. Spirit was a major factor for the school year and the students promoted spirit with all their hearts. Spirit was a hard word to define but anyone who pulled up at Hill Country Stadium around 8:00 on a Friday night could hear spirit, see spirit, and even feel spirit. A faint breeze stirred the trees as the famous yell of GO, BLACK, GO, filtered through the night. Giving a spirit raising speech. Coach Hubby holds the attention of the football players.
