0 Little things mean a lot What was it that made our days so special? A day hardly went by that we didn't have something to talk about. Whetheritconcemed who was datingwho or what so-and-so did over' the weekend - there was always something to gossip about. Remember the seniors' Homecoming Hall? Or the time that the guys were the girls at the pep rally? And the messages lefi by Arlington High hoodlums on our back wall? These are the things we will remember. Sometimes, just one little thing made the whole day worthwhile. It might have been being complimented on a new outfit or saying Hi to that cute girl in algebra or hearing your name on the an- nouncements tusually mispronouncedj. Remember the new haircuts that every one sported throughout the year? And the fashions? And what about all of those fads - New Wave, Valley Talk and Prep fwhich was already beginning to fadej. How about your first real car date? Guys - remember how nervous you were the first time you had to meet her parents? And girls - do you recall sitting in the car wondering, Is he going to open the door for me? Or should I go ahead and get out on my own? All too often we were told by our parents - These are the best times of your life. Oh, c'mon! If this is as good as it gets. . fl But later, when we do stop to reflect, these really will add up to be great moments.

One ofthe many things that most people will remember about Lamar is the good times shared between friends, whether in school or out. Raising her glass, Karen McClintic proposes a toast to field trips during a trip with Honors English IV class to the Fort Worth Botanical Gardens. Excursions such as this, whether to Clebume or Washington D.C. were a welcome change to routine classwork. Copy and layout by Dina Burton S

Chanting, seniors take part in a class yell. Pep rallies were, for some, the highlight of the entire football SCZSOD. Taking a break, Lynn Holtman, Scott Staedeli, Scott Lackey, Charles Terry, Donald Bishop and Tony Mack clown around in chemistry. Practical jokes and class clowns made many otherwise dull classes memorable to many. 3 E 1: O .22 0 8 --. Eric Smoklcr .t ww.: ,-F 5 vw if -I E X ' . Q 2 A, Y.. - fu' . ,L-1-,'.
