One of the most significant changes was the addition of a new building which contained a state-of-the-art computer lab, biology lab, a large library, and ad- ministrative offices. Another change was the new football stadium. Built inside the existing track, it was completed in time for the Homecoming game. The varsity football team itself took a new twist when the advanced in the State Play-Offs and traveled to Kerrville, where they defeated Lytle, 20- 0 which won them the Bi-district champion title. The teachers were issued new upholstered chairs and the students found them to very comfortable. On occa- sion, students were forced to surrender the chair, and return to their uncomfortable wooden desks. Still another improvement was the patio at the north end of the cafeteria. Being in between the High School and Middle School, the younger students usually staked their claims, however, at the sound of the bell calling them back to their classes, the High School students moved in to steal a few minutes to sit there in peace. These were a few of the changes that were made around campus, and they remain a key to what the future holds. BRAND SPANKIN’ NEW.

No, it’s just your alarm clock reminding you to somehow wake up and get to school. “But how does one accomplish this extremely difficult task?” you ask. Most students take a cold shower, turn the stereo up as loud as it will go, and either eat breakfast or guzzle down as much caffeine as is humanly possible. Again, this works for most students. I think about how lucky I am to be able to live through another day,” said Clayton Davis. To get going in the morning, Angela Alvarado said, I think about the WEEKEND!” Getting out of a warm, cozy bed is something all students must do, and how they do so could mean never mumbling the words “just five more minutes again.

The styles of shorts varied from solid colors to Hawaiian jams. Jams were not the only stylish clothing students wore. When winter came, the students could be seen wearing jackets, coats, and sweaters of their choice. The main winter attraction was scarves of different colors, and sizes. Almost every student had his own scarf. No matter the season, summer or winter, students proved to be in- to the latest fashion. JAMMIN' EAGLES.

Janel Stockton tells the newest gossip while ap- propriately wearing her Jammln Raisins sweatshirt. Get the Laoh! Before you open your closet door, ask yourself, Do I feel like making a fashion statement or do I want to re- main incognito?” Now, open your closet door. If your answer was the former, you may choose rolled-up, faded jeans, a color- ful sweater, high-top tennis shoes, and a denim jacket. A chick would have this choice or to wear a frosted denim mini skirt, a baggie Coca-Cola sweatshirt, and walking shoes with brightly-colored socks. It could also be possible for those who prefer western attire to wear red, gray, or black Wranglers or Levi's, a sweater or oxford, and a pair of ropers of any color but brown, and a duster to keep you warm while you’re look- ing great. If you chose to be incognito and dress casually, but still like to look sharp, a baggie shirt, loose trousers, and a pair of loafers or simply a warm-up suit of your favorite college, brand-name, color, or design with a pair of ten- nis shoes would suit you.

(Coach Ron Hubby In the center) Bi-District Champ Banquet Lin Saturday. Jan. 17, the annual football banquet began with ap- petizers served in the cafeteria, followed by dinner in the new gym The speaker was the Rev Jerry W Kunkel. known for his humorous stories and delightful speaking delivery. A former All-State football player and pro draftee before he entered the ministry, the reverend had the background and stories to keep the Eagles and their dates entertained. John Bynum received the most valuable offensive player award. Sammy Valverde the most valuable defensive player award, and Steven Smith the Paul Bynum award The senior players gathered for a last group shot with their coach “The seniors of the team were very good leaders and will be missed a lot because they led the team to win district, bi-district and to play in area finals for the first time in 32 years,” said Coach Ron Hubby. 20 FOOTBALL BANQUET BANQUET MEMORIES.

In 5earch of thE PErf Ect Pram DatE In many schools throughout the nation it is very difficult to find a prom date In many cases there simply just are not enough girls to go around If you are a per- son with any common sense, you will start searching for your perfect prom date TO- DAY It is to my knowledge that most high school boys do not know what to look for in a prom date After all. this is not just a trip to London Hall You want your prom date to be special There are three essen- tial qualities in a prom date that must be present; these qualities are beauty, the ability to dance in heels and personality When I say beauty. I really mean beautifulness ” Beautifulness is the art of looking good Also try to pick a girl who does not eat a lot By doing this, you accomplish two things first of all. she will probably be skinny, and secondly, you will get her lef- tovers after dinner I hope it is now in your mind the meaning of 'beautifulness ' Most importantly, your date must have a good personality. To have an acceptable personality, your date must be able to ac- complish three things First, she must be able to make conversation with others while you are getting punch Second, she must be able to understand all jokes and laugh at yours, and third, and most impor- tant. make sure she knows your name There is no greater put down than to have your date call you by someone else's name It is very easy to see why personali- ty is so important Once agam. I would like to stress my three points Pick a beautiful one Make sure she can dance (with you). Most im- portantly. make sure she has a good per sonality If you take all these tips into ac- count. you will be the King of the Prom, and that ain't no lie. — by Jamey Newbury — TOP HAT AND TAILS.

I see family, teachers and lov- ed ones gathered here to help us celebrate this completion of our educa- tion in Junction, but all I really see are friends. Maybe the words of Helen S. Rice can explain my feelings tonight “The Gift of Friendship Friendship is a priceless gift That cannot be bought or sold. But its value is “far greater Than a mountain made of gold — For gold is cold and lifeless. It can neither see nor hear. And in the time of trouble It is powerless to cheer — It has no ears to listen. No heart to understand. It cannot bring you comfort Or reach out a helping hand — So when you ask God for a gift. Be thankful if He sends Not diamonds, pearls or riches. But the love of a real true friend. Above all other things we have obtained throughout our school years, past the education, the maturity, and the understanding of the world around us, the graduating seniors of 1988 have become friends. Our invitations began with the words we grow, we learn, we seek; and I cannot think of any more suitable words for our class. As we grew to become friends, we shared unbelievable and fantastic memories. We learned to accept each other and to respect the person in- side We worked together to accomplish common goals; mainly to be here this evening. But above all we are friends. As we separate tonight and go our different directions we will seek new goals, new directions, and new friends, but I have no doubt that my classfnates will keep the friends they have made thus far. So seniors of ’88. when you ask God for a gift: Be thankful if He sends Not diamonds, pearls or riches. But the love of a real true friend. — Kim Happner — THE GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP. Tearfully.

Mr Schwarz, parents, teachers and friends, on behalf of the graduating class of 1988. I want to thank you for joining us this evening Tonight we have come together to acknowledge both the completion of one era of our lives and the beginning of a new one. Although this is a glorious and proud time for us. it is tinged with a touch of sadness because this will be the last time we. as a class of students, will meet We would like to take this time to look back over the road we have just traveled and draw some conclusions from that experience Our class has made its share of changes over the years growing, learning and matur- ing in order to continue and further our education. We have begun to notice both a confidence and an optimism develop as a class and as individuals which have helped to mold our personalities. Our triumphs and our failures have taught us many valuable lessons We feel that the famous quote by J. G Holland, “God gives every bird its food, but he does not throw it in the nest. is the most valuable lesson we have learned from our high school years. Our parents, teachers and coaches have told us for years. If you want something, you must be prepared to work for it. Therefore, we the class of '88 would like to take this time to of- fer some advice to the future students of Junction High School. The time ahead of you is your own priceless possession to do with as you will Determine right now to use that time to the best of your advantage. Our first sug- gestion to you would be to develop an over whelming desire to achieve success Give your ambition full play, reinforce it with perseverance and a determination to suc- ceed Build your reputation on the foundation of honesty, reliability and a dedication to suc- ceed. and the scales of good fortune will sure- ly tip in your direction All of this very naturally turns our thoughts to those who have played such an important part in our lives. I refer, of course, to our teachers The gratitude we feel toward the teaching staff for their tolerance, patience and persistent faith in humanity can never be fully expressed What success we may achieve, whatever accomplishments may become ours, they too shall participate, they. too. will experience that thrill which comes from something accomplished, something done. and we shall gladly share our triumphs with them And now a word about the future. Tennyson once said, So many worlds, so much to do. so little done, such things to be We face our future with optimism, with courage and with determination Our ambitions will undoubted- ly take us far, but wherever we may be we shall profit by the influence of the principles and ideas acquired from our education at Junction High School. Friends, may I just close with this thought We leave tonight, but our places will shortly be filled by others, just as eager, just as anx- ious. just as determined to succeed It is our sincere wish that all the delightful and valuable experiences which have been ours will, in due course, be theirs The class of '88 would like to close with the most important thank-you of all We thank our parents for all they have done for us. We love you one and all. — Kelly Clark Martin — TOP TEN SENIORS Kelly Clark Martin Kimberly Faye Happner Kenneth Todd Bannowsky Leann Louise Schmidt Courtney Lea Caudle Rebecca B Fleming Max Schwarz III Angela Renee Alvarado Steven Lewis Smith Jamey Clinton Newbury VALEDICTORIAN.

LUhi_j Eagles FIlj Higher here are many people who wish they could soar like an eagle There are many peo- ple who just dream of being up so high, where eagles fly . . . just being able to feel the wind and breathe the air. to have the ability to spread your wings and fly high There are several reasons why Eagles CAN fly higher For one thing, the Eagles have that ability to bounce back from a hard loss Take for in- stance. the football game with Ingram; that was a hard loss for the Eagles, but there comes a time when you have to pick yourself up and not be afraid to go again. Then how about the time when Mason was winning at half time, and the Eagles pulled it out! The Eagles came back from behind to win 17-14 Eagles DO bounce back Another reason why Eagles fly so high is because of the determination and the ability to make up your mind that you won't let anything get In your way. This was shown by the Eagle football team when they made up their minds to beat Mason This was also shown by the girls' basketball team when they decided to win district no matter what. Eagles just don't give up. Still another reason why Eagles are known for flying high is their unique quality of being together in everything; their team unity. It is all for one and one for all. as the say- ing goes This characteristic was shown time and time again in all the football games — the inborn substance in you that causes you to help out or protect any other Junction Eagle Another example of this unique quality of togetherness” was shown when the mothers and fathers and Eagle Boosters Club would have breakfast at someone's house or we would all eat together on game day. This togetherness was also shown by the crowds in the stands; we always had more people in our bleachers, no matter when or where, than any of our opponents ever since I can remember The examples of this togetherness are just unlimited. There are several reasons then why Eagles soar higher These are just a few Also there is just no way you can keep from flying higher when the future's so bright! PEOPLE 29 fl 5eniar's □rEflm This is the Seniors' dream, Their final year, The year the Seniors think back, Of their past years. The goals they've accomplished, And the diploma They’ll soon have in their hands. A time for reminiscing About the years Before. This is the Seniors’ dream, Surrounded by friends And family, The ones that were around Through the struggle, Through the laughter, And the tears, Around for all those years. This is the Seniors' dream, A dream filled with happiness And joyous tears. This is the Seniors’ dream, But soon the dream Will be filled with broken promises, And lost hopes. But we, the Seniors, are strong, Ready to face the world, With our heads up, Filled with new ideas, And ready to try our best at success. This is the Seniors' dream, Not built on dreams alone, or laziness, But These dreams are built on Hard work. By: Val!

(Bryan Colvin) KNKMI FAVOKITt 41 Almost ThErE “T I he neatest thing about being a junior,” said Harvey Greenlees, Is that most of the freshmen think you’re a senior. To most of the students the word junior” meant only one more year of school and one step closer to becoming seniors. The majority of the juniors were already thinking into the future. I plan to attend SWTSU and major in Accounting, said LeAnn Stockton. I plan to attend the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, said Key Simon. “I think that the most unique thing about our junior class, said Martha Ibarra, Is that everyone is close and cares about one another, but most important we’re like a big family.” Although the students did not always agree on everything, one thing was certain, they were always there to help each other.

Some remembered it as a year for new found respect while others hated it for they were always last in respect to the rest of the high school classes. On the bright side, the advantage of being in high school counteracted the disadvantage of being a fish.” As they began to mature and become accustomed to their new environment, they were involved in activities that developed both educa- tional and social skills. Altogether, to most it wasn’t as degrading as the name fish” or freshman sounded. After all, as one fish” com- mented, there’s a first time for everything.” FRESHMAN CLASS OFFICERS art: Don Glovar, treasurer; Lam Loafflar, secretary; Owen McNett, vice-president; Buck Booth, president.

JoLyn Meadows, who has attended the University of Texas at Arlington and Angelo State University, has not always known she wanted to be a teacher.

I enjoyed helping them with their schoolwork.” Mrs. Meadows has taught English II, Correlated English II, and Theatre Arts and Study Skills and plans to teach for ”20 to 30 years or until I’m committed — whichever comes first.” LLlhen asked what made him decide on the subjects he would teach, Dickey Oliver said, “Since I majored in electrical engineering, I took a lot of courses involving math, physics, and computers. Fortunately, I enjoy this stuff and my college transcript dictates what I can teach.’’ Mr. Oliver, who has attended the University of Texas at Austin and Angelo State University, has taught con- sumer Math and Computer Programming, and hopes to continue teaching “from 2 to 32 more years.” Having attended the University of Texas at Austin, Angelo State University, Universidad de Guadalajara, and Texas A M, Denise Brite originally wanted to major in Studio Art.

It will enable a student to understand and appreciate the everyday application of physics and chemistry (from machines to energy from food). It will also allow a student to decide if they are interested in and capable of following a scientific or scientifically- oriented career ranging from pure science to medicine. English teacher Mrs. Jan Ethridge said, Hopefully a student will learn more of 'humanity' by the study of literature. He will see that he is not alone in the pro- blems he faces and feelings he has experienced. We study literature to enrich our knowledge of all types of people and places, and we learn to express ourselves — to say exactly what we want to say and say it correctly. I also hope a student learns confidence in his talents, his beliefs, and his convictions through his studies in English. Mrs. Emily Bierschwale explained how taking a home economics class would affect a student’s future. She said Since we cover so many areas important to making a good home, I hope that what I teach will be important to my students in marriage, money management, being good parents, foods nutrition, clothing textiles, and be- ing good managers of time, energy, and resources. Statistics show a drastic drop in the divorce rate when one or both of a couple has had some training in these areas. Education is indeed the key to the future, and by merely turning the key, students are able to open their minds and foresee the knowledge that they are yet to acquire. « Incurable optimism Mr. Gene Monroe World History, Sociology.

For nearly four years Mrs. Gentry has been the high school custo- dian and Mr. Robert Harmes has been the head of maintenance. The custodial staff as well as the cafeteria personnel played an impor- tant part in the smooth operation of the school system. For instance, a major part of the custodians' duties included opening the school at 6:30 a.m. and turning on the heaters during cold winter mornings. The warm school was appreciated by students and faculty alike when they arrived at 8. On the other hand custodial work was often not completed until 9 or 10 o’clock dur- ing sports, open house, and other ac- tivities held at school. Although the cafeteria personnel usually worked a shorter day, their jobs involved that daily breakfast and lunch rush” of hungry students. The work of this staff was also appreciated by the students and faculty. 6 PEOPLE FIXIT MAN. Robert Harm� prepare� to raplaca yat another window. CUSTODIAL STAFF MEMBERS.

Landing Up ta Learning hat's the point in going to school? Starting with the person in the mirror is the way to make changes in the spirit of living and learning. Understanding the need to learn in turn helps students to understand themselves and others. Being of Hispanic origin and Spanish speaking I would have never taken a Spanish course if it had not been required, said Martha Ibarra. Spanish class has taught me to speak, expand my Spanish vocabulary, and take a better part in Spanish conversations. In the instance of art teacher Denise Brite, she said: When I found myself a first year yearbook adviser without any practical experience or training I was dumb- founded! I suddenly needed to know layout design, jour- nalistic style writing techniques, 35 mm photography, black and white film printing and developing, copy preparation and proofing, etc. If it had not been required that I learn about all these areas of expertise, I may never have done so on my own. I feel what I’ve learned has definitely enriched my life, especially photography — a new artform in which I love to work!” If there were no school or grades, students and teachers would more than likely be content to travel through life with their eyes to the ground; not aspiring to higher goals — Minds do not unfold without enlightenment.

Upon receiving a rating of IV, Missy Jacobs said, I thought we did pretty good because everyone did their Others felt not enough effort, practice, or planning was put into the show resulting in less than perfect ratings. In contrast, drum major Marc Simon felt the ratings were fair, as did Mindy Davis who also felt ratings were fair in most aspects except when the judges criticize a band for not having very many members. In retrospect, the ratings the band received weren't as important as the experience of competing and learning from mistakes. GIVE ME A BREAK!

Becky Connor, who has been in the flag corps for three years tells why: The flag corps gives visual effects to the music played by the band and also pro- vides leadership for the younger band members. Stacy Martin, who has been in the flag corps for one year, said that she least enjoyed having to learn routines in one or two days before we had to do them. Becky said, Standing in the sun practicing most of the day can get pretty tiresome. Were there advantages to being in the flag corps? Becky said, Learning the ability to work in a group, accepting responsibility, and being able to receive and give constructive criticism. Susan Martin, a one year member, and Amy Lovelace, a two year member, agreed Camp would be the most remembered part of the corps. Susan's reason was, Camp was fun but hard. We had a good time and learned a lot.” Amy said, “We received a spirit award and got superior and excellent ribbons for our routines. On the other hand, Stacy said, The people. I made a lot of new friends. In conclusion, Becky said, I'll remember everything: the good times, the bad times, the hard work, and the fun. YOU’VE GOT THE LOOK.

Students learned that a yearbook records the memories of their high school experiences. Lisa Cashman enjoyed, Being able to design the Golden Eagle yearbook and knowing what to expect.” Joe Mendoza said he appreciated, an opportunity to contribute something of value to our school and ex- press my ideas to create memories for the high school.” The yearbook staff and advisor agreed that painting and polishing all the memories of an entire year could be very difficult until you learn the ropes.” Randi Sutton said she likes how, We all share the load and stick together to make things happen when we get in a jam (deadline). Randi said she would recommend the yearbook course to her fellow students only if they are dedicated to the purpose of creating the best yearbook they can possibly produce. Lisa Cashman agreed, You have to be willing to work and accept responsibility. YEARBOOK 97 Freedom of Expression Creative imaginations and talents were encouraged in the art and drafting classes. Students were given the oppor- tunity to express themselves freely. Paige Adams, a draf- ting student said, “Mr. Williams lets us design our own houses with our styles as well as our own preferences.” Bryan Colvin, an art student, said, “Our teacher does not make us do a specific design.” Ms. Denise Brite, Art I and Art II teacher, added: “At the beginning of a unit of study, I set forth guidelines and technical examples with an em- phasis on design elements and principles, then encourage individual imagination and style.” Considering the continuation of their skill, Joe Mendoza said, Yes, I'd like to go further in art, because there are unlimited possibilities in that field. Clayton Davis said, I’d rather use my skills in art and drafting as a hobby.” Gregory Wallace said, What I enjoyed most about art was creating, and the feeling that an expert instructor helped to push my talents to the utmost.” Overall, students received support and encouragement during each project. .

On Saturday, the one-act play performed in Mason. The students spent many hours of practice to get ready for contest. I practiced by judging headlines in newspapers and by writing headlines from past meets, said Randi Sutton. Starting in January,” said Pamela Weaver, we practiced 'Mr. Flannery’s Ocean' every day during and after school.” Overall, in the district literary events Junction placed third with a total of 115 points. Advancing to the regional UIL meet in Victoria were Renee Nixon, first place in feature writing; Keith Latham, third place in feature writing; Kelly Clark Martin, first place in ready writing; Marc Simon, first place in Lincoln-Douglas debate and second place in persuasive speaking; Sean Daniels and Key Simon, first place in team debate; and Randi Sutton, first alternative in headlines.

Clayton Davis said, It will help us to know about governments and the systems they use to run a country successfully. Amy Lovelace added, History will help us remember our relations with other countries and our founding fathers. Kurt Hughitt agreed, By realizing the mistakes made in the past, and trying our best not to repeat them in the future. John F. Kennedy was the one person from history most students found most interesting. On the other hand, Martha Ibarra found Alexander the Great most in- teresting. Her reason: I admire the interest he took in mixing the Greek and Middle East cultures. No matter what the viewpoint, the window to our future is a glance at the past. LUNCH TIME YET?

I believe at the end of the school year I'll be able to speak Spanish pretty well. George Ibarra wasn't worried because he said, I've been speaking Spanish all my life. Spanish students are required to speak Spanish only during class and all were given Spanish names. Some of the most interesting names were Michael Castillo, Gato (cat); and Kendon Roberts, Castor” (beaver). In English, the students of each grade level were required to read certain books: such as To Kill a Mockingbird (juniors) and A Separate Peace (sophomores). The book To Kill a Mock- ingbird was great, said Keith Latham. Renee Nixon commented that A Separate Peace was sad, touching, and extremely well-written novel.” In the Freshman English class Michelle Lawler said, concerning Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, I enjoyed the play even though Romeo and Juliet killed themselves, because that showed they really loved each other. I was also pleas- ed when the parents became friends again.” 1+1=2. Pamela Weaver adds and subtracts equations In Algebra with the help of her calculator. NOW, LET ME THINK.

Chandler, who taught Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, and Advanced Math. Teaching is the only profes- sion, said Mr. Chandler, acknowledging his dedication to teaching He has taught math in Junction for 27 years. Do you enjoy math class? Martha Ibarra said, “Yes, because I like to work a lot with numbers, therefore, it is not hard work for me.” Pamela Weaver replied, “It can be fun sometimes. Teri Jetton said she especially liked Algebra II because Mr. Chandler is fun to argue with.” Assisting in the math force, Coach Thomas Hanson taught FOM, Pre-Algebra, and Geometry. Mr. Dick Oliver supported the force by teaching Consumer Math. With this winning combo-nation,” may the force be with you to aid in future success. MAKING FACES.

The science classes included: Physical Science and In- troductory Physical Science. Biology and Introductory Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. These classes proved to be difficult, yet challenging, rewarding and necessary for the future preparation of students. I have learned that I cannot be lazy. I have to work and study, said Amy Lovelace. I enjoy doing labs, because they are a challenge, said LeAnn Schmidt. Since I am going to study medicine, science is very impor- tant to that field so all that I've learned will be useful to me in college, com- mented Denise Dominguez. What would be remembered most about science classes? Jodi Johnson said, The smell of burning sulfur. My physics class,” said Carr Thom- son, because I said I would never take it and I did. All in all, the students had good memories about their science classes. READY TO ASSIST.

Jerry Stewart works diligently during second period as a library aide. T Eachers of T □marrow? One of the privileges set aside for juniors and seniors was being a student aide. Thirty-six students aided the faculty staff this year in classes ranging from special education to high school. Valarie Williams said, “I like working with the kids who want and need the help.” Teri Jetton said, I’ll remember seeing the kids in school every day, and the feeling I got when I'd see them out- side of school, and they would hug me and tell their friends I was the 'other teacher’. On the advantages of being an aide, Janet Lea Cox said, I learn how the advanced children work. I can push the mentally handicapped children to develop their skills. Amy Goodman said, You get your mind off of school for an hour and it is fun too.” Students found that being a student aide was rewarding and challenging and gave them a view to the future from the other side of the desk.

The typ- ing accounting classes took up residence in the old library. In order to keep the electronic typewriters and computers from breaking down, air conditioners were in- stalled. The room also received new carpet to cover up the old wooden floors. The new computer room housed ten IBM PS 2 com- puters. Mr. Oliver commented, These computers are a whole lot better than last year’s. The computers we have here are similar to the ones you see in businesses today. Therefore, the students learn the basic skills. Multiple Occupation Cooperative Training (MOCT) students were given a new sponsor, Mr. Sonny Williams. Classes were held first and second periods. The MOCT students worked at businesses after lunch for the se- cond half of the MOCT program. I really enjoyed Home Economics, and especially Mrs. Bierschwale, Joe Mendoza commented. The H.E. classes received a new over lock sewing machine that has been of real use to them. Vocational agriculture has been an important part of life for many students. Ag. classes put you in real life situations that you will be in later on in life,” says Jamey Newbury. The world tomorrow depends on our students, and their abilities in real life situations.

Leann Schmidt gives her speech during the ceremony while Kelly Martin awaits her turn. Guiding Lights in Excellence Bring inducted into the National Honor Society was serious business, and for the most part, the ceremony was a reflection of this. The new members, whose grades were of at least a 90 average, were examined by a faculty council in the areas of service, leadership, and character. Having passed this, they went through a tradi- tional ceremony wherein each member received a pin and certificate, signed the register, and lit a candle sym- bolic of achievement and success. The humorous highlight of the otherwise serious ceremony was when We were supposed to remain stan- ding, but Kim was telling me to sit down. I did, and pull- ed Denise down with me,” said Brad Sutton. Being an Honor Society member means that I'm be- ing rewarded for not settling for just passing grades — I strive for perfection, said Randi Sutton. Seeing how proud my family is of me proves to be worth the extra effort. National Honor Society President Todd Bannowsky agreed. He said, Being a member means that I have tried my best and some of the hard work has paid off.” Making good grades has its rewards,” said Kim Hap- pner. I've received scholarships and students look to me when they need help studying.” National Honor Society members are respected by their peers and they provide a path for others to follow and succeed as they have.

It’s nice to know that your classmates choose you as their representative to speak for them,” Renee Nixon said. The students were represented in many ways. The Student Council was responsible for keeping sodas in the Dr. Pepper machine, organizing Homecoming ac- tivities, keeping marquis activities and announcements up-to-date, saying the invocation at home football games and the pledge of allegiance at the beginning of assemblies. With the proceeds from the Dr. Pepper machine, they had a new coin machine installed on the library copier. These services were all accomplished for the students' benefit. In order to keep some of these activities going, the council raised money by having a bake sale and garage sale. Each member donated at least one baked item, clothing, jewelry, home appliances, etc. to be sold. It was an honor and a joy to be a member of the Stu- dent Council and, I am glad to have had the opportunity to make things happen for the good of my fellow students,” said Randi Sutton. Everyone should be represented in some way, and the Student Council carried out those responsibilities in every way possible. fEFILLS.

The squad members helped the cheerleaders decorate the gym before pep rallies. Each week they prepared locker favors because the guys appreciate the support, said Janet Cox. The squad members also sponsored a MORP dance in the gym. Finally, the girls helped paint wooden footballs and placed them in each football player's yard. “I will remember going to the play-offs, because it was exciting, said Denise Dominguez.

With this show of team spirit and pride, the Eagles went on to make their school and town ex- tremely proud. With a record of 7 wins and 5 losses, the Eagles took their team to a District 29AA Championship.

R T nugh Bunch There were some melancholy beginnings for junior varsity players. When asked about the most memorable moment of the football season, George Ibarra com- mented, “when I broke my collarbone at the Big Lake game. I never thought I would be the one to get hurt; and it bothered me not to be able to play the rest of the season. Jesus Salazar echoed that sentiment, “I play defensive and like it, because its a lot of fun knocking people backwards, however my main memory is being on the sideline and watching my teammates play while I was out with my knee hurt. In spite of these drawbacks, the J.V. team continued to hang tough and felt they were especially encouraged by enthusiastic fans composed of booster club pep squad and student body. Marshall Davis appreciated the spirited pep rallies, and his locker being decorated before each game. The boys often found extra “sur- GET GOING.

I am probably the only one who really likes practice. That may be because this is my last year to compete in sports for J.H.S., and I really want to make the best of it. Amy Alvarez said: I enjoy running, meeting new people, and giving a lot of effort to my goal of beating Tracy Hesson of Ingram. I also enjoy the trips, we all laugh, and have a lot of fun. At practice I run a lot uphill to strengthen my legs. I try to run three miles a day, if it is not too hot.” Toni Tomlinson added: The thing I like most about track is the competi- tion. The teams in our district are always trying their hardest to come up on top. The relays are the most ex- citing. We really worked hard on the relays, and it was worth it, because we came out on top in the district meet. I think we owe it all to our great coach, Coach Coker.

ThE 5uuth Rises Again It was a civil war at Junction High School when the first annual powder puff game was held at the Eagle Stadium on May 18. The teams were the sophomore junior girls playing against the senior freshman girls. The former team called themselves the Rebels and the latter team; the Ter- minators. The two teams were evenly matched in ex- perience and spirit. The player of the day, however, was Toni Tomlinson. Once the ball was handed off to her, she sprinted with all the grace of a gazelle and greased lightening to win many yards and touchdowns, for the Rebel team. The Rebel cheerleaders gave a no-holds-barred performance of choreography and gymnastics to the music of “California Girls. They received an award for eating most at cheerleading camp. The Ter- minator cheerleaders exhibited great originality in their cheers and dancing. Properly rouged and at- tired, they pranced with pom-poms and strategically placed balloons to the music of Terminator. All in all, the teams and cheerleaders were crowd and community pleasers The score was: Rebels — 12 Terminators — 8. Nothing was lost because almost $300.00 was gained to help send Eagle cheerleaders to camp last summer. DOWN. SET. HUT! Coach Jerry Stewart raises hit eyebrows In sur- prise that his team, with the excep- tion of Christie Zelters, Is taking a break. DON’T RUN THRU!

This town has nearly every young person’s dream. We have a river, a Main street to drag, and a friendship among us that is like no other. The river and the dam are the places to be during the summer. I have spent hours and hours just sitting at the dam trying” to get a suntan. The times at the dam I will remember most are the floods. I would sit and watch the water and debris. E verone would meet at the dam just to watch the flood. The other side of the dam has been THE place for the “in group for as long as I have been able to remember. The river is not the biggest or the best maybe, but it has always been big enough for me to have fun around. Then there’s Mam Street. Main Street almost says it all for the drag. In my two and one half years of driving, I have dragged Main for at least eight hours every weekend, plus another bunch during the week. It takes two minutes and thirty seconds to make one drag; the drag is a mile long, and one turn- around spot is right before the bridge on the left. The other one used to be in the parking lot of a Main Street cafe, but the owner put a wall up so we could not turn there anymore. Now the turn-around spots on that end are more spread out with several spots being available. I have done almost everything on Mam Street, but the time I will remember most is the night after the Blanco game our senior year. Everybody had stopped at the car wash; we spent two hours yelling and having the best time. A lot of the things that we do are centered around the drag. We stop and talk about who is out and who is not; I have talked for hours on end. On the drag, we are all friends. Overall, I will miss how close as friends we were. I have never seen a friendship such as the one we share. I believe that I will never see a town with a bond of friendship as strong as ours. There is not much I can put in words about the friends I have here. All I can say is that they ARE my friends. To put an end to my twelve years of school all I can do is look back and smile . . because I lived in paradise. — Written by Jerry Stewart — Sponsored by KAMPGROUNDS OF AMERICA 2145 Mam, 446-3138.
